I need some answers, please...

Two questions:

1) Why did Tyler leave the party without giving anyone any notice?
2) Why is the movie called "Tyrel" when the protagonist's name is Tyler?
3) Was Tyler supposed to have some sort of mood disorder - like bipolar disorder or something like that? Emotionally, he was all over the place.

This movie was very good. The acting was top notch. It was kind of a let-down at the end, 'cause I thought something dramatic would happen, and nothing like that did, but still, solid effort.

Answers to my questions are greatly appreciated.

1) and 3)
He was feeling overwhelmed from being the ‘other’ and some of the stuff that was happened, such as, the answer to number 2 (see below). He didn’t know anyone except his one friend Johnny and was stuck, in a cabin, in the middle of nowhere, without phone reception, in a sea of strange faces and it was overwhelming. Especially when things like everyone knowing a song but him was happening. Or that terrible racists accent ‘game’ they were playing (I would have gotten out then).

2. When he first meets the group of guys, one of them calls him Tyrel and he has to correct them and tell him his name is Tyler. The guy basically says he knew and he was joking. What kind of joke is that? Clearly he was commenting on how he would think of as a name for a Black person. Titling the movie that was pretty cleaver.
