The ending? Spoiler!
So in the end did the stunt man really recover the use of his legs and go back to being a stunt man, or was the little girl making that part up?
We don't know. The director himself ways in the commentary that if you're an optimist, you'll assume he did and if you're a pessimist, you'll assume she's making it up.
shareI think it was obvious that he wasn't doing all the stunts, as she imagined. But the guy getting hit with the chair definitely looked like Lee Pace.
Insist on yourself. Never imitate.
