Good movie with a nice story told in an interesting way. there were a lot of very creative scenes. visually stimulating (1 viewing)

SPOILERS

Theory #1 - Dell in our universe is having weird dreams which are actually memories from his parallel universe. In our universe he doesn't end up with her but in the movie Universe he does and it helps him cope with losing her. A clue is that she was lying about being pregnant and was about to confess before he stopped her and figured it out. And he couldn't read anything in the black book, her thesis. At first I thought it meant he can't really understand her or something along those lines but apparently you can't read in dreams Theory #2 - they really don't end up together in the movie timeline but the two suns in the background mean that is the alternate universe and in our universe they are together

the girl as a characters wasn't very likable. but I guess the point is that she was supposed to be a little messed up and not perfect

I was very close to disliking this movie before that final scene. I was worried it was going to be one of those where you really have no idea what happened at all. But the last scene did a good job of making you understand the different possibilities. if this movie ended before that last scene it would have been completely ambiguous with infinite possibilities. But that last scene kind of narrowed it down a lot

From chat discussion with Ronnie: That's a great comparison. In neon demon you can literally come up with anything and it might be true. And most of your analysis will just be about metaphors and symbolism. In this movie there are definitive possibilities for exactly what happened in the movie
