[QUOTE="Starman, post: 3170751, member: 7663"] Oh, she knew. Scarlett Johannson's character said that the wife wanted to meet with her to tell her a secret of Borden's. It's never said exactly what this was, but he only had one secret - his twin. The other thing to consider is that they made it a point a few times to talk about how the audience often knows the truth about a magic trick, but they don't want to admit it, because that would ruin it. That was a metaphor for what many of the characters, including Borden's wife, were going through. She knew the truth for a long time, but didn't want to believe it. The same thing works for the audience of the movie. I knew that Borden was using a double, but I didn't really want to believe it. I kept waiting for him to reveal the "real" magic he was using. Edited to say that I really enjoyed the movie. No good guys. No bad guys. Just some very human people caught up in their own mistakes. [/QUOTE]
