Not really that simple - I watched most of the film without clearly knowing
what was *effectively* happening; all that oniric environment was just too
much for me! (Speaking of which, I did understood "The Cell", but didn't
really like it)
And the ending, IIRC (I watched it some *years* ago!), happened more than
once (in fact, didn't it keep happening, over and over?). The "real end", so
to speak, did leave too much of an open door for my taste. But this is an
oppinion...
