Christopher Nolan has always had a unique narrative style of disrupting everything and then building order out of the chaos. "Deadly Magic", released in 2006, perfectly confirms this. The main narrative, the interlude, and the flashback are interspersed, and the multi-line stories develop together, and are finally aggregated to a point for the narrative of the ending. Two genius magicians fell into an endless confrontation due to an "accident". Losing both sides is inevitable, and the price paid in the middle is really unbearable. The film has deep philosophical considerations. After Tesla handed over the machine to Angier, who did he kill every night? Is it a clone of him, or the real him? Judging from the mental journey along the way, from never killing to killing himself, perhaps the person with schizophrenia has always been Angier. Revenge, once again, is the theme of Nolan's films. As Christopher Nolan's younger brother, Jonathan Nolan polished the script very precisely, and the cooperation between the two brothers is very similar to the character setting of the Borden brothers in the film. When false is true, true is false, and when true is false, false is true. Nolan is the real magician.
