Years later, but great post!
I, too, tire of so many message board posts asking questions along the line of 'Is this real or is it Memorex?' LOL
Seems to be some kind of 'in' thing to wonder out loud if a movie's end is *really* the end, or was it all just a dream? Or was the main character psycho and it was all in his/her head? Or that they really are in a parallel universe, etc.
Some films *do* employ those kinds of 'trick endings', but it doesn't follow that most all other films do, and just because every scene in a movie isn't explained in 1000 words and pictures, with a blinking neon light over the end scene saying 'THIS IS REAL' or otherwise, many films are fairly clear about where they stand at the end (dodgy, lower-quality films with annoyingly ambiguous endings 'just because' notwithstanding).
And, other films make it clear not too far into the movie ('The Matrix') or about halfway in ('Dream House').
Cheers!
