I think the signs in the film point more to a way to get you thinking about the movie enough to go see it again or buy it on DVD.

It was based on the book in practically every respect. The extra shots and extra dialogue is just achieving what the director and whoever else wanted to achieve... the sense of a twist after the twist. It is in this way that movies keep playing in your mind because you think you haven't found the answer yet. The story itself, as adhered to from the book, is simply the twist and nothing more.
