I loved the way it hovered perpetually between both explanations without selling either short.
I love stories that do that. It's one of my favorite things about Total Recall, and one of my beefs with Donnie Darko is that it tries to create ambiguity about whether what Donnie's seeing is real, but doesn't really commit to the possibility that it's not.
