From what i heard about atom bombs, they cause disruptions in radio waves. so it would make sense that anything that was digital would be disrupted or destroyed. not only does the tv go out, but the characters themselves, who are represented through these waves, disintegrate. its sort of a 'breaking the fourth wall' metaphor.

if you happen to find out the answer could you post it on my question
"help me!!!!!!!!! i'm dying!!!!!!! end?!!

Call me crazy, but I'm pretty sure the kid drowns in the bathtub and the entire film after that is him imagining he's going on a journey to bring his dying sister back and at the end the family disappears because he's dead and they aren't there with him....wherever 'there' is.

There are images of war and atom bombs going in reverse, which does throw a slightly WW2 tone to the film, but I think that just means that the journey included God reversing time, which I'm sure the brother wanted to happen to save his sister (and also undo other bad events in time), but in the end that isn't possible and he's gone and they aren't there with him.

Sad.
