再說起諾蘭，芽兒就發滿了整個豆瓣

結尾的劇本如是,和正片也有出入:
"INT. ABANDONED THEATRE -- NIGHT
Borden STOPS at the ladder. He notices the shadows from the
burning oil playing on the walls...
CUTTER (V.O.)
Now you're looking for the secret...

Borden turns slowly to look back into the cellar, PEERING
into the flickering light of the burning lamp oil.
CUTTER (CONT'D)
But you won't find it...

Borden stares back into the cellar. What he sees puts a
look on his face that is beyond words:
LARGE GLASS TANKS. DOZENS OF THEM. ROW AFTER ROW STRECHING
INTO THE CAVERNOUS CELLAR.
CUTTER (CONT'D)
...because you don't really want to
know...

FLOATING IN BACH AND EVERY TANK, DRESSED IN ROTTING STAGE
CLOTHES, IS YET ANOTHER ROBERT ANGIER.

INT. ABANDONED THEATRE -- DAY
Cutter spreads MORTAT on the last BRICK of the wall he has
built in the opening to the cellar.
He places the brick in the wall, sealing it up.

EXT. FOREST -- DAY -- FLASHBACK
A cat slinks its way through a pile of top harts, knocking
one over as it disappears into the forest beyond.

CUTTER (V.O.)
...you want to be fooled.

We are left alone in the glade, staring at the top hats-

FADE OUT.
CREDITS.
END."
其中Angier的複製人屍多餘場景被刪,還有貓的出現又被刪

個人認為諾蘭兄弟要傳達的:
"P R E S T I G E"
到底對我們人真的是必不可少的嗎?至關緊要的嗎?
只是人之愚腐,自欺欺人罷了

說到這裡,大家也知道影片的題目是多麼重要
不如簡單的回想
本應在影片末尾出現但又沒必要出現的Cutter的話:
"That's why every magic trick has a
third act. The hardest part we call
The Prestige."

此致,
淡泊以名利,寧靜以致遠
但是
是人都很難的,總有枉送性命的......
