In Reply to: You are wrong. Angiers initially used a double but switched to a working cloning/teleportation device. posted by Tony D. on July 20, 2010 at 18:37:19:
"You want to be fooled." Borden's voiceover "are you watching closely" comes as the camera shows the top hats that Tesla planted to make it look like his device was cloning so he could get Angier's money.
While it's certainly open to interpretation, you are in the camp that wants to be fooled and I am in the camp that worked it out, to quote Cutter. Rather than discuss this intelligently, you're on another forum posting insults at me, so I'm not expecting a good discussion about this from you. Though the film certainly merits good discussion.
