Did the other people... *spoilers*
Did the other people in this movie, other than Rickie, actually exist? JT in particular seemed to be just a split personality of Rickie. JT dies in the end because Rickie has become JT.
There are some little hints that I may be over-thinking:
- It is said that JT and Rickie have known each other their whole lives. Yes I know that is possible, but it could also be hinting at them being the same person.
- JT has a grandmother who apparently doesn't care that he doesn't come home for days at a time / Rickie has a mother who is never home.
- At the end Rickie is shown in a classroom full of students, but then he "wakes up" and he is the only one there. Is that trying to tell us that he was alone the whole time?
I think Joann was real, and possibly the jocks too, but I'm not sure about JT and Wheeler.
