The shooting of the clones...

Ok...from what I have read throughout the posts it seems most people believe that when Mr. Morrison shot the clones the actual intention was the kill Elena and that Michael had helped in that whole setup...but...what I gathered from watching the movie was a bit different and I would like some others opinions on this.

I felt as if David and those other old guys who were the leaders of the whole conspiracy of cloning and eliminating Elena were paying Mr. Morrison to kill Elena BUT Michael (Elena's brother), feeling so badly about having helped set up the whole conspircacy from the begining, paid Mr. Morrison even more to only shoot the clones, and act to the other men as if it were an accident considering they all looked the same of course.

Does this make sense to anyone else?

It makes sense to me. I perceived it just as you explained.

It also doesn't make sense because Michael wanted them dead. To me, he seemed a little surpirsed when John and Elena returned from the ring alive. And if he had saved them at the skating ring, why betray them later in the wilderness and leave them there to die? The little part where John notices his planner and then talks to him shows that Michael was in on it (the bad guys'plan) from the beginning.

Yeah, it seems like Michael was in on it...so maybe Elena got away be sheer luck...or Morrison was on there side? I felt like Morrison wasn't really a bad guy in all of this to be honest. He gave me a good guy vibe. But I think it's ambiguous because it's really from the perspective of Elena and John who simply don't care how they got away, they just did and left, not thinking about it. You know. They don't know the details, so neither does the viewer because it's more about them staying together more than the awful things happening around them.

This is easy to understand. The clones were different facets of her personality. They were fake, as they were developed only out of attachment for money and power. They had to be destroyed to contact the real one, and to escape together. This is a typical cubist representation of reality - the same object represented simultaneously from different points of view, only that Vinterberg takes this so much farther away.

I felt that Michael and everyone wanted Elena and Jon dead, but Mr. Morrison saw what was going on, and being such a big fan of Elena's, he decided on his own to shoot the clones and not her. My question is how did he know which was which?

Can anyone please just change the title of this? I mean, i just saw the film, but if I hadn't I'd just be so pissed right now seeing right there in the forum section this title springing in the movie's main page
