[QUOTE="John Crichton, post: 3162717, member: 4779"] I took it as "not wanting to live like that" meaning that he knew what he had become and he wasn't to be trusted. Maybe she did realize it (or at least had a notion) and didn't want to be shared anymore and was sick of all the lies and manipulation. She did kill herself after all. Huh? He knew all was well because his twin was on the outside to take care of things and the Cutter was still kicking around. And don't forget that he was putting on an act to sell it to Angier at the end. They were playing each other. I thought it made sense just fine in the end. Hmm, I didn't notice that they were all identical. Good catch if that was true. And if it was, perhaps that was one of the breaking points that turned him against Angier. Cutter was a pretty bright guy and the only one in the movie who was a realist and right just about all the time. (More on Cutter below.) You do recall (as I'm assuming you do) that it was a setup, right? He wasn't trying to keep it a secret. He wanted to frame Borden, so no witnesses could be there. Perhaps Cutter did. I would say that he knew what was going on. At least to a point. Either way, it didn't matter because Cutter knew very well that something was wrong with the situation and that Angier had crossed a line. He wanted the machine gone long before there were any reveals. *shrugs* I don't think it really matters to the story but Angier did have many resources. He could have had other people around that made sure that only Borden was allowed back there and no one else. And he was already committing murder/suicide every night anyway so they guy is already a but shaky in the brains department. I think many of your gripes are really nitpicking. It also seems that you were looking for flaws and assuming that characters would behave a certain way because that's what you think they should have done. But hey, it's all good. I really enjoyed the movie and want to see it again now, if even just to see if he cloned the blind guys or not. :) [/QUOTE]
