Q
What is 'The Double' about?
A
Simon (Jesse Eisenberg) desperately wants to be a Somebody instead of a Nobody, so he creates a "Somebody" who encompasses all the qualities he would wish for but would never dare manifest. When the Double/Phantasy gets out of hand it has to be gotten rid of, and so he takes drastic measures.
