i have no idea how to do the spoiler tags, so if you havent seen this movie, hit the backspace key..... NOW
i just saw The Machinist - the one where batman can't sleep so he put sam fisher's arm in a lathe :p - and im a little stumped with how it all worked out.
now, what I could get was; nicholas (the boy he hit/had the seizure) and maria (boy's mother/waitress) are his hallucinations as his mind is going through the guilt thing and recreating their images in his mind, him chasing the thunderbird all the time is obviously him chasing the memories, and the "fork in the road" theme must have to do with him constantly making the wrong choice and not reporting the accident, but where does Ivan fit in it all?
now, i would have thought that the bleaching the bathroom at 1:30am every night was to clean ivan's blood out of the grout, but if Ivan didnt exist, why is he always doing it?
this movie reminds me of donnie darko, except i actually got that one :p. i guess im just too tired and lazy to sit back and think it through
anyone got theories?
