Okay so we establish that he was dreaming the whole time and his life hadn't really gone to waste.
But then how do you explain the remote showing up at the very last scene and him throwing it on the trash? Makes no sense to me... If Morty was only a character in his dream, how did he send him a real message? Was there ever any explanation given?
Did you ever see "It's a Wonderful Life?"
shareIt's really not that difficult.
It wasn't a dream, it was a warning what could happen if he continued on the path he was following. Having the remote appear at the end and him throwing it away meant he learned his lesson.
But how exactly did the real, physical remote appear if everything involving it had happened in his dream? I perfectly understand your point and the message behind it, but objectively speaking, in the movie and its twist, it makes no sense whatsoever.
shareWho's to say that Morty doesn't exist? He could be some sort of paranormal being therefore, perfectly able to make things appear like the remote. As the other posters said, the "dream" was to teach Michael to change his ways. Morty probably put the remote there to prove to Michael that what he saw in his dream would happen.
shareIt's called a movie where things beyond realism can happen.
shareDreams can actually be predictions or warnings of what’s to come. I’ve read books on the subject and seen tv shows about it. Like for example a man dreams of a car accident and many months later he in a car and recognizes the scenery from the dream. He warns the driver and they avoid dying.
Same is true for an object appearing or a symbol. I’ve seen this too and had it happen to me. After my granddad died I had a vivid dream of talking to him. He loved boats and gave a quarter with a boat on the opposite side. That morning I woke up to a quarter like that on my table. It was not there the night before. It went on to happen every few months for over a year. Look up “pennies from Heaven” and your read similar stories.
Prediction dreams go as far back to the Bible and before that.
I am telling you...this movie has tidbits of Back to the Future, and It's A Wonderful Life in it. Time travel movies, dream movies, and movies like that always confuse me.
shareI don't think it was a dream. I think Morty was real, and all of that actually happened, and then Morty undid it all to give him a second chance.
