Did you notice that when the clone was first discovered, Angie shot him? It was the man standing in the electromagnet who killed the man outside.
In the future, magic, the person standing in the electromagnet dies, and the electromagnetism is transmitted to the outside person who survives.
Isn't that weird?
The director will definitely not overlook this. So the explanation is:
They're both Angie!The copied person not only has his body but also all of Angie's thoughts!
So the replicator didn't realize he was a clone at all, because he kept all the memories from before the clone!
This also explains the panic that the duplicant had before being shot to death, because he thought he was the real one!
So there is no truth or falsehood, just that the dead body is pitiful. It was actually Angie himself who drowned every time!
Before he died, Angie said: "I am also very scared. It takes courage to walk into that electromagnetic field, because I don't know if it will appear again!"
But the duplicant won't realize that he's already dead, and every time he walks into an electromagnetic field it means he's going to drown! The one who survives is always the next clone!
And this replicant thought he didn't die at all because of his previous memories. To choose to die like a wife, to die a hundred times, is terrifying.
