The title is vulgar enough, let's laugh at myself.
This movie has been watched for many years, but the shock has not diminished in the slightest. Nonsense, just start at the beginning of the film.
Angel would rather kill himself a hundred times (each time copying the original) than plant the booty on Burton, and when he returns to London from the United States, he will choose a theater that Bolton will notice. When Burton went to see the last performance, he sneaked under the stage, and Angel knew that Angel did not appear again in front of the audience, and planted the booty successfully.
The Bolton twins (I don't support the replicant theory, I personally think that the replicants copied everything, including ideas, so Angel and the replicants could agree that even if they sacrificed one, they would plant the booty for Bolton), and let's make a distinction:
Faron: Loving Salad, the real father of his daughter Jess, his behavior is more conservative, and the family wants a stable life;
Bolton (Everde): Loves Ophelia, is aggressive, competitive, curious, obsessed with researching innovative magic, and determined to defeat Angel.
The following is the scene where two people appear, and analyze which one appears in front of everyone:
The opening scene goes down to the stage and is imprisoned by Burton, who acts radically and wants to discover Angel's secret, but Burton is not cold-blooded, he finds Angel drowned and tries to save him;
Introducing the two people who debuted, It was Burton, who acted aggressively and tried not to tie a complex Blue knot according to Curt's request (note Curt's helpless expression), Bolton noticed Curt's dissatisfaction, and the rope was not tied. Later, Curt asks him to pay attention in the background that if the rope is lost, Angel's wife Julia will break her leg (as a result, Angel broke her leg later, I don't know if this is a hint). Backstage, Bolton was complaining about the fat magicians of every kind, not daring to take risks, Bolton wanted to try to catch bullets, wanted to keep innovating, and wanted other magicians to break their heads. At this time, he was suggesting that he had "amazing skills", but only he could perform. Angel said every magic trick could be imitated, and Bolton said "wrong." Bolton and Curt argue about the Blue knot, and Julia helps Burton say "I can loosen the Blue knot in the water."
Burton and Angel went to see the Chinese magician perform, Angel's expression was very admiring and puzzled, but Bolton's expression was relatively calm, Bolton saw through the "completely huge sacrifice" made by the Chinese magician, and also accepted the "completely huge sacrifice" made in magic (he and his brother Faron had a person who always stood behind the scenes), thinking that it was the only way to make a name for himself. Angel believes that Burton does not understand self-sacrifice, and Bolton scolds him for being stupid.
The first time he met Sarah and her little nephew was With Faron, who was helping other magicians perform at the Little Theater. Fallon and Sarah fell in love at first sight. The little nephew saw through the bird's trick, and Faron praised him as a clever child.
With Bolton's help (Bolton outside the door and Fallon inside the door), Fallon enters Sarah's house and surprises Sarah.
The second time Angel went to kidnap Julia was Faron, who didn't know what Curt had asked for Bolton last time (absolutely not to tie the Blue knot), and tied the Blue knot to Julia (Julia nodded in agreement), and Julia failed to open it and died unexpectedly.
The scene of Julia's funeral is Bolton, and when Angel asks Aboutton, Bolton doesn't know what knot Fallon tied on the day of the accident, and Bolton really doesn't know. Angel was furious.
For the first time, Bolton Fallon appears in a simultaneous scene, and the two perform their respective duties. Bolton has left, ready to go it alone, and has begun to prepare for the performance of picking up bullets, needing the assistance of absolutely reliable people. The first time Fallon tells Sarah where the props come from, and if someone they don't know very well (Farón loves Sarah and lives together at this time), it's hard to imagine speaking in that tone. Next, the aggressive Burton demonstrates pick up bullets for Sarah. Burton says "I love you" to Sarah, sarah is sensitive to the feelings of "you don't love me today", "Sometimes you are not sincere, today you are not sincere", yes, today is Bolton, not Fallon who loves her.
The first to break his finger was radical Bolton, with Faron on his side. There is a doubt about this, Bolton, Fallon, Angel together is not a day or two, even if Angel wears makeup, even if it is by body shape, it should be recognized, perhaps it was less wary at that time. Angel was still asking What Knot Bolton had helped Julia with, but Bolton couldn't answer, but said he didn't know. Faron saw something was wrong and pushed Angel away, and Bolton broke two fingers.
Sarah complains that the scene where the finger is broken and bleeding is Faron, who asks Bolton to cut off his finger so that he "starts bleeding again". Here, Faron also showed a family-oriented side, saying that he did not have money to see a doctor. And began to hint that the great performance "Alien Shadow" will begin. Alien Shadow requires two people to be exactly the same, including a severed finger.
It is Burton who retaliates against Angel for breaking the hand of the female audience, and the gentleman repays the revenge when he has a vendetta, which is in line with the character of Burton, who has always been radical.
To see Tesra perform were two people, Bolton and Fallon, who had been dragged by Bolton, who was in keeping with his curious and research-innovative personality. After the exhibition, Angel follows the returning Fallon (Sarah says "today is true"). Angel saw them showing affection, and his anger rose even more. Angel then said in the process of reading his diary that "one moment he (Bolton) longed for family life, and the next moment it was like rebellion, the pursuit of freedom", Angel believes that Burton suffered from schizophrenia.
Faron takes his daughter Jess to watch the Bolton scene and performs her duties.
Angel went to see Bolton performing alien shadows for the first time, and both Bolton and the Fallon brothers appeared at the same time, and it was Burton who disappeared, the fallon who appeared.
It was Farón who took Sarah and her daughter Jess to see the house, Farón, who loved the family. Sarah should have asked Bolton last week about a better place to live, but Bolton didn't agree (and maybe even lost his temper) and never agreed. Here, Fallon also covered up for Bolton, "I was in a bad mood at the time" and "I could change my mind."
Olivia goes to Bolton's studio, talks to Olivia about Bolton, and asks Olivia to call him "Everford", likes Olivia, and asks her to call him by his name.
The stand-in for Angel who went against Angel was Bolton, a radical approach to using Lute to complete Angel. The first time let Lute appear late to make the limelight (Curt is going crazy), the second time directly replaced Lute and broke Angel's leg (personally I think it should be quite difficult, after all, it is Angel's home field, removing the mat, hanging Angel is not an easy task, personally think that the director is compromising to the details for the development of the plot).
In the scene where the notebook pretends to be stolen, Bolton and Fallon are there, each performing their duties.
An upgraded version of the Alien Shadow Field (Lightning Flash), the vanishing one is Faron, who appears, and kisses Ophelia's hand passionately. The vanished Fallon went backstage to change his daily attire and went to the door to remind Bolton Angel that he was coming and was going to be bad for Bolton. Burton reacts with "Let him come, I'm not afraid", and Fallon secretly protects him, but is captured by Curt and Angel.
Angel buried the mechanic scene, it was Bolton, nervous faron was really buried;
Sarah is in the hotel four-person dinner scene, With Bolton and Fallon all in place, each doing their part. Sarah is upset that Bolton is drunk and has a new name (Freddie, which should be Olivia's exclusive), so Faron sends Orlia away (Fallon obediently goes), after which Bolton says "almost lost a very valuable thing today", referring to Fallon. Sarah and Burton are discussing the secret, Sarah is a little out of the mood, Bolton is not impressed, and Sarah drinks a large glass of wine.
Olivia goes to Bolton's studio scene two, still Bolton, and later bluntly likes Olivia and begins to distrust him, sending Faron to follow Olivia. Moreover, in order to test Whether Ophelia is loyal and likes him, Bolton asks Ophelia to help him get rid of Angel. The scene then turns to Bolton Tseluth, gives the diary to Auvilia, asks Ophelia to give Angel, the code is written, there is no secret, and gives Angel the keyword "Tesla" when Therone is buried, but to translate for a few months, Angel is almost not crazy.
Daughter Jess asked to go to the zoo scene, Bolton. It was Fallon who promised his daughter Jace to go to the zoo, not Bolton, so Bolton didn't know (personally I think he probably wouldn't have agreed). Burton then offers to go to work first (without any sense of family, or Bolton thinks it's not his home, next to Sarah's lonely figure picking up a bottle of wine for a glass). Then when Burton says "I love you," Sarah still wonders, "Are you serious today?" Upon getting Bolton's hypocritical "It really is," Sarah's expressionless "I'll make me more miserable when you cheat" turns away.
Playground carousel fat, Bolton Faron are all there, each performing its own duties. Fallon reports to Bolton about tracking Down Ophelia, who asks Fallon to take his daughter Jess to the zoo, and asks Faron to appease Sarah's emotions (perhaps only Fallon, who loves Sarah, can do so), and convinces Fallon to convince Sarah That She loves her too.
Ovirlia prepares to change clothes for the scene, Faron. Ovirlia was not allowed to call him Freddie, and felt guilty. Ophelia mentions that Fallon is following him, and Fallon reminds Her that She must trust Fallon.
Sarah and Burton quarrel scene, Burton. Sarah thinks Bolton is having an affair, Bolton lies and doesn't love Ovirlia at all, ophelia is just an assistant. Sarah was crying and going to find Ophelia. Bolton is in a hurry and tells Sarah to "shut up", poor little Jess (Farón is comforting him). Sarah asks Burton if he loves him, and Bolton bluntly says "I don't love today", forcing Sarah to die.
Ophelia and Bolton in the restaurant scene, Bolton. Ophelia thinks that Sarah is dead and Bolton should be a little sad, and Bolton explains that the other half loves Sarah, and this half loves Ovirlia. Ovirlia felt that Bolton was very cold-blooded, mentioned that Angel had returned with a new magic, sneered at Bolton for a few more words, and then turned away.
Angel returns with the first performance scene, Burton. Eager to observe Angel's new magic.
Burton and Fallon are arguing about Angel's new magic, each doing its part. Bolton complained that Faron couldn't guess Angel's new magic.
Two blind men carrying the water tank, Farón. Fallon was tracking down what Angel was doing.
Fallon is telling Bolton about Angel arranging for two blind men to carry the water tank, Fallon. The expression was a little helpless, and seemed ready to give up.
Fallon continued to track the blind man carrying the water tank, and Curt was also following.
Fallon and Bolton discuss Angel's new magic, Fallon. Faron bluntly said that he was out of luck and was ready to give up. Tell Bolton not to provoke Angel, "both men are far away from him".
Burton went to check on Angel's machine, Burton. Finally, he got into Angel's suit and was planted and seized in prison.
All in the prison are Bolton, outside the prison to kill Angel, and it is Farlong who takes his daughter Jess. Finally Fallon tells the dying Angel that Faron loves Sarah and Bolton loves Ovilia.
Some other details from the film that I personally saw:
Angel loved his wife so much that Julia died and he went to try the feeling of drowning, which was very painful. But Curt presumably did it to comfort him, saying that drowning was like going home, which may also be one of the reasons why Angel was willing to kill the replicants in order to plant the booty, and he thought that drowning was not painful. When Curt finally says that drowning was very painful, Angel's expression was very shocked and painful.
When Curt introduced the props to the judge, he had already guessed the secret of the machine invented by Tesla.
There are many places in the film that hint at "are you looking closely", as Farón and Sarah's little nephew said, Bolton said it to the bailiff before hanging, and Curt said it.
Angel's family should not have agreed to his magic tricks.
Angel's wife I think there is a problem, Angel is rich and powerful, to change magic is just a hobby, it happens that the wife also loves magic to accompany her to the end of the world (his wife is aware of Angel's origins), and the result is an accidental death, which is quite incomprehensible.
Angel went to break Bolton's finger for a while, but he worked hard in advance to eliminate the bullet.
Angel loved his wife Julia a little more, and in order to spy on Bolton's secrets, he gave his new assistant and mistress to Bolton, feeling that Olivia was quite sad.
Bolton was supposed to have asked Thethra to help make a special machine to help perform after seeing Thera's exhibition, but without success.
Tesla played by David Bowie, a famous British rock musician, debuted in the late 60s, is the 70s gorgeous rock master, born in 1947 in Bricktown, London, England. David Bowie is a representative British musician whose music has influenced many Western singers today, along with The Beatles and Queen, as the most important rock stars in the UK in the 20th century. David is bisexual and has publicly acknowledged his same-sex sexuality, but he has since married two wives.
Angel is indeed more expressive and stage-tensioning than Burton, and when he and Burton first went to assist the magician to help his wife Julia, Angel bowed to the audience after taking the stage, and Bolton directly began to work without expression. Curt later also thought that Burton would not perform.
Bolton immediately saw that Angel's alien shadow was using a stand-in, and joked that Angel "likes to hide under the stage".
In prison, Bolton read Angel's diary, which mentions "Bolton, you killed me, waiting for death in the cell", Bolton believes that the diary is fake, but the lawyer proves it to be true, and Bolton is very confused.
Angel created two blind men to help him.
Curt went to see Angel's body, which was serene and with a smile.
Some personal understanding of the film
Angel, the gold lord who is not bad for money, has simply given everything for magic, including his life.
Angel believes that Burton has new magic and disagrees with Olivia and Curt (Burton is using a double). He couldn't accept that he couldn't feel the cheers of the audience on the spot when performing the same magic trick with a stand-in. He thinks that Bolton can't accept it either, and strongly believes that Bolton can't use a stand-in, and has a new trick, but Bolton is using a stand-in.
Burton can use magic tricks on the prison guards in prison, but he can't escape by magic. The magic is fake.
Personally, I think Angel is more cold-blooded, breaking (actually trying to kill) Bolton's finger just calmly saying "that move is already dangerous". But he was reluctant to kill a pigeon, hehe, it was more difficult to understand.
Personally feel that Angel did not die in the end, there is such a machine, the average person will be in danger to choose to copy more than one of themselves, personal opinion, huh.
Hugh Jackman and Christian Bell are both acting geniuses. Hugh Jackman put his stand-in, Route, as a brilliant portrait, completely and Angel. Bell also played the nuances of Fallon and Bolton very well (some people say that the voices of Fallon and Bolton are different, I didn't hear it, huh)
Curt knows Angel's secret, but disapproves of Angel's approach (killing himself in order to plant a booty), so when he leaves Angel's water tank and the machine abandoned theater, he sees Fallon coming to get revenge, and does not stop Fallon (even nodded with Faron, some people say that Curt let Faron come). Personally, I think Curt knows that Angel still has replicants, and convinces Angel to let Faron take revenge on killing one of them, thus ending their feud once and for all. After all, Angel also achieved his goal of revenge, and Burton was sentenced to hanging.
Thera's machine does not guarantee whether the ontology or the replicant appears inside the machine, and the ontology may be inside or outside. But the living do not retain the memory of drowning, otherwise (personally believe) Angel would have gone mad and drowned dozens of times!!
