Anyone see this Movie? The end totally confused me, what did he imagine and what really happened? Or was the the plot? To leave the watcher guessing?

I think he really did break into the room and pose them - but I don't think he took any actual pictures - which would explain the pictures of the innocuous items from his room. My reasoning is - if he didn't break in, why were the husband and the mistress in such distress when the cops got to the room. Why not just answer the phone when they called up?

Wasn't there a thread on this movie here when it first came out it the theaters? I remember reading something about there not being any merchandise in front of the photo shop or something. I just caught it on PPV and was going to check back with all the old posts. I am luke-warm on this one. It was okay I guess. I didn't turn it off before it was over so I guess it held my interest. Yes, he broke into the room and took photos (with no film in the camera, I presume) but the adulterers thought he photographing them. He imagined being in the family's home - didn't really break in there. I thought it was a hoot that he imagined himself using their john.

That other thread that mentions this movie is "Worst Movies of the Year." Should have guessed.

I just saw this last week. I actually really liked it. It really is al about getting inside the head of this guy. After, I watched the director's commentary on it and I caught everything I was supposed to! I loved that he shamed the adulterers! But was really sad that his wake up call cost him everything he had -- even though his whole word was built on a fantasy! That wall really creeped me out! Oh and the final image is left to interpretation. Either you believe that nothing has changed and he gets sucked back into his fantasy of being part of the family, thus the photo is a fantasy. Or you believe that after being shamed and humiliated, the husband realized what he had done to his family and actually felt grateful for the wake up call, thus the photo is real. The way you interpret the end says a lot, I think... I saw this with my parents. Out of the 4 of us, 2 of us thought one way, and 2 thought the other. Interesting stuff!
