Foreshadow of the bird

Rating: Null/10 (30 October 2006)

In the beginning, where Borden tries to charm Sara, Sara's nephew would not cease to protest that the yellow bird's brother is missing (later shown smashed in its cage and dumped in the garbage). Although Borden shows that the yellow bird is alive and fine in its cage, the nephew persists with "where's it's brother?! you killed it! where's it's brother?!" (not exact quote). Borden's only reply is "sharp little fella" (something of the sort). I believe this is foreshadowing to Borden's true secret, hence his lack of a better explanation for the bird. Or perhaps it's all my imagination?? I also have the question of what did Borden supposedly lose as something dear to him at dinner (when he's drunk), if Tesla is not a secret but a disillusionment, then what is he speaking of??
