why didn't jackman's character just not kill the clone and do the show with two people. The only part i don't like.

it couldn't have been the original dude, right? Like, one dude ends up in the same spot in the machine, the other ends up outside of it. If the "clone" is the one who ends up away from the machine, then each night jackman is killing himself, new close gets to live. Otherwise, it means the original jackman was shot when they first tested the machine.

That's the way it should have been and could have been nicely explored, but Nolan likes to leave shit up in the air like that.

In the book, Tesla's machine kills the subject and produces a living clone- HJ's character still has to dispose of the body left in the machine, but there's no dilemma about killing himself or whatever. Not sure why the Nolan's changed it.

In the book, Bale's character shuts off the machine in the middle of the act, which creates a ghost Jackman and leaves behind a very weak but alive Jackman, and Bale isn't framed for the killing. I can see why they made those changes, but not the two living duplicates change.

Bale twins worked in harmony. Jackman shot his twin with a pistol. visually underscores the distinction between Bale/Jackman and the lifelong sacrifice made by the former

It's obviously the original HJ who is killed and the clone survives. He stays in the same place over the trap door and the clone appears off wherever.

Because they share consciousness up to the point they are split and cloned, the resulting living HJ does not know if the clone will be "him" but killing himself each time is the ultimate sacrifice.

Similar to downloading your consciousness into an AI to live forever maybe. Will the AI think there was an unbroken continuation of consciousness? Maybe. But the consciousness in you still dies and YOU don't get to continue.
