“so i decided to toss my thoughts toward this odd movie.u003cbr/u003eu003cbr/u003efirst i think the director is playing tricks with the viewer. by this i mean the viewer must decide for himself who or which character is real and which character is not real.u003cbr/u003eu003cbr/u003ethe fellow sitting at the corner table with the notebook and writing constantly in it is the key to this puzzle of people. we are seeing his imagined players or characters along with the real. heu0026#39;s creating a story for us but we must choose the characters to believe in.u003cbr/u003eu003cbr/u003etherefore it occurred to me this is a shared visualization of the notebook writing manu0026#39;s solipsism. some of his characters are very real – the café employees for example. the imagined ones are the fat guy with laptop and his u0026#39;little girl guideu0026#39;. i believe the troubled black guy isnu0026#39;t real – neither are the police. itu0026#39;s your choice through the entire film! i have more but iu0026#39;ve explained myself as clearly as i can. then remember the café owner is never seen – that is what triggered my interpretation. u003cbr/u003eu003cbr/u003ei do so wish the director had not included that sappy ending. i was very into the action and mystery of exactly what was happening then itu0026#39;s as if the director just wanted to u0026#39;wrap it upu0026#39; and go home. too bad!”
