Random Theories I can't prove...

I have a cold cruel theory that Anne's "sister" was merely a delusional patient that Ann desperately clung to...they both began to believe their own script / notebook notes over time, and an imaginary-friend-with-backstory bond was formed. She had the same pattern with Bill. The reason I say this is the emotional detachment when she is forced to sign the personal effects page. It is almost like she is forced to deal with the reality that the constructed bond she created no-longer-applies. It is more likely that the patient renamed herself than Ann did since her superior called her Ann Johnson...unless that is a standard pseudonym given to all doctors there.

I think she went to the beach to wait for the sky to get all loaded with colors.

Amidst Bill's ramblings near the beginning, he says something about the tectonic plates shifting causing lands to be brought closer to the sea or some such thing...but notice how he had scientific knowledge that was rattled off very quickly as if memorized by a comatose mind that could still hear. Either someone slipped up, or he was able to hear for a period of time, etc. but I believe all of the information he mysteriously spouts about things he should not know about are either heard or perceived through out-of-body experience, (depending upon which perception was being pushed.) It could also been a mis-fire-attempt some time between 19(99) and 20(27)to integrate computers and human brains.

The newspaper date and the newspaper itself was fake and it was all wargames. When she exits to the beach, she is in 1999 and feeling guilty. The "virus" was fake sorta like playing paintball doesn't really kill you---even though all involved play it out like it does. And just like those realistic car crashes / etc. where schools must stay in character, everyone, even the doctor with the implanted nose drip, plays his part perfectly. Ann, fed up with the wargames gone too far, exits the simulation and tries to live a normal life.

OR

Similar to "The Jacket," with a twist, the visions Bill sees of 1999 are FUTURE visions, and the "hospital," is in the past. Certain people with "abilities" are isolated, tricked into thinking it is the future, then in a desperate attempt to find out their brain chemistry, they use them in experiments. This would explain why they were so hung up on being proper and following procedure. Notice that the one guy that has to catch a helicopter in 20 minutes is sorta a throw back to the 1950s in his misogyny...and Ann painstakingly describes the brick structure of the building and wants to know what holograms could be---more like a curious person from the past than a doctor repressing a delusional patient...

Anyway...I ALWAYS do this to myself...why can't I just enjoy things as literal events? The same thing happened when I tried to process "The Fountain"-----DARN IT, Hugh Jackman!!!
