Answers to a few questions about this film

This is the first movie I felt shocked in 2007.
Maybe because of its complexity, maybe because of its uniqueness.

This is a sci-fi suspense film, a very complicated sci-fi suspense film, and the
script is very powerful~ The director's narrative is also quite good. The sophistication
alone is breathtaking from the intricacies of the timeline (domestic filmmakers come to learn and learn^_^) ~

Are you very clear-headed? And is the comprehension strong?
Otherwise, just read it once and you won't understand it!

Okay, stop talking nonsense and answer the questions after reading the second time. Other people's questions are also

about the names of people when I first time . Magicians always have many names, especially the two in the movie.
god! The most maddening is of course Professor Bolton and Fran, as well as Ivory and Ferdy. I looked at other people's questions and answers, and just a few names are enough to make people confusing. We don't have to deliberately distinguish between these names, because they themselves are mixed.
How do you distinguish between two people?
It's actually very simple. One loves Olivia and the other loves Sierra.
2 Olivia likes to call Bolton Fidi, Serra likes to call Bolton Avery.
3 When Bolton performed the transpotman for the first time in front of Serra's apartment, the one outside the door was the one who loved Olivia. And inside the door is the one from Aisella.
4 The one buried in the soil belongs to Aisela, and the one who digs belongs to Oliveira.
The one in the prison is the one who loves Olivia, with a strong nature and aggressiveness.
Of course, the one outside the prison was the one from Ai Sela, he killed the magician Angel in the end and took the little girl away.
5 Bolton and his mechanic Fran are not clones, Angel and Bolton know the current test at the same time. Bolton intended to let Angel waste money on the current experiment, but he didn't expect the experiment to succeed. This is a big coincidence designed in the script.
6 Angel's secret Bolton is obviously not known.
But Kurt may know that Kurt is very wise.

7 The whole film keeps suggesting the theme: Sacrifice
Angel is also great. Although the methods are cruel, it is undeniable that he is a great performer and
a person dedicated to art.

    It seems to be a very early film, and the time in the play is also very old. It’s not bad. I remember that I was surprised when I watched it, but now it’s a wonderful film with a good aftertaste~

    Nolan’s films give people who study theory and want to write a script have confidence, because Nolan’s awesomeness is not so much the complexity of editing, as it is that he cleverly combined Lacan’s concept of "seeing" with the film narrative. Combined. Everyone in this movie is "watching", but they can't see anything because they don't actually care about the truth.
