    The point is that you are eager to be deceived by the plot from the very beginning. When you fall into a scam, all you see is what the director wants you to see. This is also the great thing about the film. Nolan's control over the mood of watching movies is at the same level as Hitchcock! ★★★★★

    Wonderful narrative! Bird's "Twin Trick" duel to Angie's "Rebirth of a Duplicate"——Sacrifice is the highest spirit of magic performance. The twins choose to sacrifice themselves and share their lives in turn; Angie also sacrifices himself, but takes the body as a bet. Obviously an open ending. Guess whether Angie killed all of her new self, if not, then Angie is not dead. I killed your brother, you killed my backup.
