the prestige post

In a 200+ word post on your blog, answer one of the following questions:

1. What genre of film does this work belong in?
2. Is Borden obsessed or committed?
3. Does anything good come of the Angiers or Borden's obsessions/commitments?
4. Is there a way to scientifically explain what happens to Angiers when he's inside The New Transported Man?
5. Borden tells Sarah's nephew, "The secret impresses no one." Is this true?
6. Answer a question of your own devising.

This film should belong in a mystery genre because it keeps you wondering about how the magicians are doing the tricks and such. I think Borden is obsessed because he and his brother share wives and lives just to keep up a magic show, I think he had gone completely over the edge when he made his brother cut off his finger so they would match. If anybody told me that in order to keep my job I had to cut off my finger with a chisel id be looking for a new job. Nothing good comes from Angiers or Borden’s obsessions because in the end Angiers is literally killing himself every show and Borden ends up going to jail and is given the death penalty. There isn’t really a scientific solution to the new transported man because all that happens is Angiers falls through a hole while a drink look alike goes up through a hole in the floor by the other door.
