What does alice do after she disappears? tapes and other evidence related to the hijack go missing OR get confiscated (clearly by her).Īlso, in most parts of the movies scenes with phones often relate with alice or she is somewhere seen in the scene. This is a viable assumption because firstly, the movie clearly states that the feds CONFISCATE stuff related to those hijacks. Or everyone else we see is part of a dream and the boss is the only real living person he makes contact with.īest sense i can make of of that hat is that alice is a fed. Either he’s fake too and he’s been writing himself notes. Oh also I don’t know about his boss either. I don’t know who that is or if he represents someone or something. Professor just isn’t there one second.īut for me the guy at the end is the biggest head scratcher. It made it seem like dudes mind wandered but one of the YouTube summary videos pointed it out and it’s true. The professor may not be real, at some point after their first conversation he suddenly disappeared. I just don’t know what to make of the other characters. Think about it, if someone killed themselves in front of you, and cops showed up you’d stay to answer questions. When he was escaping with “Alice” it felt like he was running away from a crime he committed, not just a crime scene. I also think he killed the guy that “committed suicide” in front of him. I mean I wish I had more overall, as there are still a lot of unanswered questions.īut def, he killed her. But yeah, I searched the Internet high and low for more nuggets on what it all meant. James tells Lithgow (or his hallucination of Lithgow) on the phone that he had the tape the whole time which makes more sense as Hannah was his wife she would have a tape of her in the ballet. Here’s a slightly different take from mine that may suit you better however EDIT: in the preceding link the writer says someone left James the ‘96 ballet tape. ![]() I know you may be looking for something more but from what I’ve read and put together myself this seems to be the consensus. Even before he hits the droid he hears a BSI on the radio- impossible! his mind has snapped. So the once normal albeit grieving James who has now just committed murder BTW is seeing BSI’s & droid women everywhere. This is a psychological thriller the final scene is the culmination of what the throat slashing guy warned him of. If you like this movie check out the 1966 Antonioni film “Blowup” which is very much like this movie it was also remade in the 70s as Blow Out (not as good, but worth seeing).Ībsolutely it does the guy James killed was involved with the droids (with his dad) & Stephen was just as he said responsible for the BSI’s. But also much like our real world reaction to I feel fantastic, it’s easy for us to assume an individual like that abducts and kills women. I think the “dad” did the BSI’s & much like “I feel fantastic” he was just a woman/sex-robot aficionado & wanted to show off. But this is another coincidence! Notice how he asks the guy if “it’s all here?” And the guy is like “I guess so!” This guys wasn’t doing the BSI’s either! His dad was! That’s why after the set is reconstructed he starts saying when is dad coming? He expects his dad to be at that set because he was the real BSI guy. We know that James didn’t make the BSI tapes because he finds the alleged culprit and his set later. He’s wrong because by COINCIDENCE James does because hannah was in the ballet. In James last call with Lithgow, even Lithgow gets caught up in it stating that no one would have a public broadcast copy of the third intrusion unless they had a vested interest. The theme of conspiracy vs coincidence is repeated SEVERAL times In the film. But again, he starts thinking conspiracy because it fits his desires narrative. And her leaving the cap there was probably a marker for James: hey I’ve been here, there is nothing of value concerning missing women. The girl that was following him was likely a fed. He keyed on the “day before” theory because it lined up with Hannah’s disappearance. Women go missing all the time & I’m sure ANY pattern could be worked out relating the BSI’s to missing persons cases. ![]() Through all this he is trying to explain the disappearance of hannah & he is attributing to conspiracy what is really coincidence. That’s why he asked the one woman if her husband left a note. James picked up on the “missing women” BBS thread & ran with it because subconsciously it would help explain what happened to hannah- which is what he is really after. ![]() Lithgow character tells James the theme early on: Don’t mistake for conspiracy what can be chalked up to coincidence.
