***Warning spoilers***
That Danny was hallucinating at the end?
It is very possible that he was hallucinating the entire time.
Consider, mental illnesses do run in families and if he inherited the tendency he was the right age and there was the right traumatizing event(s) and stress to set it off.
The mother has probably been sick for a long time and already he had been showing signs of mental distress to the point tht school was involved.
I once had the opportunity to see a virtual reality version of what someone with paranoid schizoidphrenia may be be actively hallucinating while seeing his doctor. (Not too mention as a counselor being with a client who was looking at me with the most frightened face and I wondered if I looked like a monster to him. What was he seeing?)
Anyway, the film showed a man with the disease wearing the virtual reality helmet watching and he took it off quickly and said it was too real.
I say all this because the smirks and facial expressions we saw from his POV may not have even happened.
The other thing was, would she really say all those things while he was being held down so the orderlies could hear?
Yeah, if she's evil, she'd tell him what happened to set him off and make him look even crazier or she's lying they are not dead and she said it anyway for the same reasons. Sitting at the table from earshot, but continue to taunt him when he was being held down?
But I'd think she'd be a lot smarter, since regardless whether anyone thought he was nuts, they could reconsider after a relatively young man dies in his sleep and a young boy are dead. So, would she risk that? Or, like I said before, they aren't dead but she wants to make sure he stays in and maybe she has better, less obvious plans for their future demise. Otherwise, the cops and DA are really bad at their jobs and so is his lawyer.
So we have two choices. He was right all along, mentally ill or not. Or he's a paranoid schizoidphrenic and she's innocent.
