The ending is interesting and really makes the film, I think. I've always interpreted it in a pretty straight-forward way, taking the events at face value. I always thought it was about something like the duality of how things could have turned out.
I haven't seen the other movies you mention, though. I will definetly check out Light Sleeper. Thanks for the tip
