The timeline where Jacob is married to Sarah and Gabe is still alive is factual, and takes place BEFORE he leaves for 'Nam, correct?
That's how I always interpreted it.
You exist because we allow it and you will end because we demand it.
Exactly right.
shareI was a little uncertain of that myself. It can be interpreted as a flashback, except for the fact that he tells his wife that he was dreaming about living with Jez and talked about being "on fire from ice." So this is in fact not a true flashback but a dream within a dream. That being said I'm sure it's meant to represent a real time in his life in which he was happy with his wife and his son was alive.
shareCorrect.
Brilliant and disturbing movie.
Hate to sound sleazy,but tease me. I don't want it if it's that easy.
(spoilers)
I'm sure the part where he tucks the little one in was part of a memory (at least I think I'm sure). But I don't think Sarah visiting him in the hospital happened. I think that was part of him "letting go" of her by getting some validation that she still loved him.
