Dialogue proves it’s all a dream


It seems like the dialogue between characters are verbal representations of the thoughts and emotions characters are experiencing/expressing and not the actual conversations the characters had in David’s real life before Life Extension, assuming the entire film is a dream and not just everything after the night club scene. It seems to be especially noticeable in the scene where Brian introduces Sophia to David, when David talks to his lawyer at the party about being incompetent, and the scene where Julie confronts David outside Sophia’s apartment. The lines they say are not what real people would say in a conversation but are expressions of the deep-rooted thoughts and emotions they are feeling at that moment.

Agreed. Also why would David get in Julie's car AFTER falling for Cruz? Why did Cruz diss David after the accident and act like he was some monster from hell? His face was not that bad. Where was her compassion? Plus he was the richest man in New York- she could have easily cashed in on that marriage if she wanted to. Bryan also was a jerk to David post accident- so I am guessing this was all in Tom Cruise's head. Including that New York dream. "Open Your Eyes"- said by Penelope Cruz at the beginning of the film and they haven't even met?? Come on.
