The most awesome part lies in two simple truths: To be able to mix the fake with the real, there must be no "fake" at all, either there is a twin waiting, or one person duplicates two people and then kills the excess. Therefore, there is no such thing as "magic" at all, and there is no such thing as disappearing and appearing out of thin air. People are just tired of the equivalence and constancy of matter, so they seek a momentary blindfold of reality in magic.
Bird's magic has completely spoiled the whole movie. The surprised expressions on people's faces are sacrificed. If you want to achieve extraordinary achievements, you must get your hands dirty, there is no other way.
An Jie made the mistake of obsession, desperately looking for a trick to defeat his opponent, and after losing his family wealth, losing his wife, and being lame, he entered the "peak of life". Every time he shot and killed "self", living in countless real Among the true and false replicas; Burton was a master of madness from the beginning, the skill of "sacrifice" was at its peak, he did not forget to act in every moment, lost his fingers, lost his wife and lover, obviously two people, but with the same name. Live as a person and give up another life.
At the end, at the beginning, the little boy asked "where is his brother", the bird's magic, Sarah said "I know who you are", the scene of Olivia's collapse in the restaurant, including the first time they guessed the Chinese magic, Anjie said that he couldn't pretend to be another person, so he has an answer.
Then the question may only be left, is it more difficult to accept having one more person, or is it painful to never be able to live a full life?
Typical Nolan-style question.
Let me tell you my own opinion. It is very likely that the red ball is the "mark" of the Burton brothers' transformation. The person who gets the red ball performs, and the other one is regarded as a shadow.
In ancient times, there was an actor who said that they acted as others and obtained pleasure and satisfaction in them. Their charms were vivid and full of games. They should focus on "faith". On the day they left their apprenticeships, they couldn't tell which was the character and which was themselves.
So, do two people share life, or does one absorb the other?
