[edit] Accreditation

Broad Run is a fully accredited high school^[1] based on the Standards of Learning (SOL) examinations in Virginia (all but five of Loudoun County 66 schools are fully accredited). Virginia high schools are considered fully accredited in 2006-2007 if students achieve pass rates of 70% or above in all four content areas (English, mathematics, history/social science, and science) on SOL examinations administered during the 2005-2006 school year. Broad Run's current pass rates are: English – 97%; Math – 91%; History – 94%; and Science – 85%.^[1]

[edit] The Prestige (film) differences

Comments regarding "differences" between novel and film —

"The film employs the same plot elements as the book, with one crucial exception: Tesla’s device produces a perfectly healthy duplicate of Angier (or any other living organism or object)." — Yes, this is indeed a difference, and one that affects significant events and themes.

"The first time he uses the device in his workshop alone, one of two things happen. The first interpretation is that the . . . glass tanks, each containing a secretly drowned Angier." — This is related to the difference just described, but this paragraph is an interpretive discussion of events in the film, not a comparison to events in the novel (the events don't occur in the novel, but that's true of much of the movie).

"The second deviation from the book is the manner in which one of the Bordens dies. In the movie Borden again breaks into the backstage area. However this time he sees one of the clones drowning. He is seen watching Angier die, accused of murdering Angier, and sentenced to death by hanging. In the end one of the brothers dies while the other lives on to take revenge on Angier, killing him amid his deceased duplicates." — A possible difference if the fate of the Bordens in the book was included.

"There are constant hints throughout the film leading the viewer to the twist. One is an act involving birds in which one bird is vanished . . . . At Julia's funeral, Borden says that he can't remember what kind of knot he tied that lead to her death . . . . Olivia finds a lot of makeup in Borden's study, and we discover later that it wasn't used to improve the appearance of a lookalike . . . . Borden's wife also regards throughout the film that sometimes her husband is in love with her, whereas other days he doesn't seem himself. Looking back we . . . . twin men were after all faithful to the women they each separately loved." — This is just more discussion of events within the film, not a description of differences

"A subplot of the film touches upon the real life rivalry between Tesla and Thomas Edison, both brilliant inventors working at harnessing the power of electricity, who developed a bitter feud until the death of Edison." — Not a difference between novel and film: the subplot exists in both.

"In the novel Borden disrupted a seance held by Angier, accidentally injuring Julia Angier and causing a miscarriage. In the film, Julia is accidentally killed during an illusion, in part due to the recklessness of one of the Borden twins." — Agree these are differences, but this fails to explicitly state the more obvious difference: that Julia does not die in the novel and plays a significant role throughout the story.

"In the novel Borden and Angier never injure each other while sabotaging performances, with the exception of the mortal wounds as a result of interrupting the Tesla transportation. In the film, Angier shoots off two of Borden's fingers and Borden allows Angier's leg to be broken." — Agree, this is a contrast, but could be easily grouped with the one just before it.

"In the movie, Borden does not interrupt the Tesla transportation. There is never more than one Angier for more than a few seconds at a time." — To be a contrast, it should include the difference in the novel.

"In the novel, normal use of the Tesla transportation device on a human results in a rubber-like shell of a body, non-organic and resilient to aging. This shell is not alive and could not be mistaken for a living human. In the film, the transportation device creates completely healthy, living duplicates, apparently even down to duplication of personality and memory (although this point is in some debate)." — Agree, a difference that has significant impact on plot, but this was already mentioned above.

"In the novel, Angier obtains and publishes Borden's journal after obtaining Tesla's device. In the film, Angier and Borden obtain each other's journals and deliberately write misleading entries." — There are some differences here, but the description of the novel's events is oversimplified. In fact, the question of who is writing and revising what in the novel's journals is arguably the book's most convoluted element (and maybe the key element of the whole book).

"In the novel, Angier survives the events that have unfolded. In the film, only a single Borden survives." — Some kind of Angier survives in the novel, but no Angier lives happily ever after. Agree that both Bordens survive in the book (if there are indeed two Bordens).

"In the film, Angier commands Olivia, his assistant, to go work for Borden to act as a spy for Angier. In the novel, this plan is Olivia's idea." — Agree this is a difference, but has little impact on the plot development of either the novel or the film.
