Identical suits


I noticed that Eric Stoltz and Chris Eigeman were wearing identical suits, shirts and ties in the final group therapy scene where they slug each other. I wonder what the reason was......?

If you recall, there was actually a scene earlier on where Lester is invited over to Dashiell's place for dinner, and Lester comments that he has the same sport coat that Dashiell is wearing. Dashiell responds saying he liked the one he saw Lester wearing in group therapy and went out and bought one for himself.

So the identical suits in the later scene could be explained by Lester's continued influence over Dashiell's fashion sense, perhaps to the point of copying his outfits exactly.

Alternatively, it may have been some symbolic thing regarding mistaken identities, or suggesting the relationship of both Lester/Dashiell to Ramona was becoming confused and blurred.

Either way, nice catch on your part.
