obsession

Success is also crazy, and failure is crazy.
If you can accomplish things that terrify the world before you die, then where is the difference between dying and living?
Many people are alive, but they do not know that they are alive, but they do not know why they are alive.
Angier and Borden left in their youth, but it was a life worth living.

This is not just a magic show. Obsession and dedication are the real magic.
Angier trades death after death for amazing magic and surprised faces, and Borden trades his life for great performances.
The essence of both is sacrifice. Angier is a direct death, and Borden is sharing his life with others.
If you are crazy and paranoid, strong enough to have the courage to face death and sacrifice, then you are destined to be extraordinary people.

In real life, who has the courage to complete their own paranoia, and who knows their own paranoia.
Step by step, according to the procedure, according to the traditional way, according to the expectations of others, is the greatest normal.
If you can't stand the pressure, you will follow the laws of this society; if you can't stand the time, you will forget your own soul and strength.

magic? It was just a comforting joke after a meal. Eating and drinking is king, the times are no longer for magicians, people say.
