I love this movie. It’s perfect storytelling with so much rewatch value. It’s also a magic trick like the subject matter. It does raise some questions though:
Borden knows how traumatic his career is to his romantic partners as evidenced by his wife’s suicide. Why then does he embark on another relationship? He must know a similar fate must occur due to the nature of his trick. Why go through all the stress of having to defend himself from accusations of infidelity?
