![]() The police and investigators begin to suspect Jonah when things don't add up (they discover that there is no drifter who entered the hotel, as Jonah claimed) and gather evidence to arrest Jonah, but Jonah flees before that happens. His serious sleep deprivation develops into a personality split, where DJ takes over, doing what Jonah cannot. Jonah feels trapped by "the system", his job, and his family. He needs money, and gets DJ to steal jewelry from hotel guests, not realizing that he himself is stealing, because the real Jonah (a sweet and kind man) would never do such a thing. He also feels guilty that he cannot provide the life he dreams for. While Jonah loves his family, he feels trapped by them. Jonah's history with homeless suggests he has always had some level of mental illness. ![]() ![]() The security cameras at the hotel prove this. DJ rants his psychotic ideas to Jonah, who listens silently, until he's had enough. Jonah meets a drifter (DJ) who comes into the hotel, asking to stay in a room for free. He is seriously sleep-deprived, and this slowly leads to mental delusions, possibly a split in personalities. But he cannot afford this, and he cannot lift himself from his rut. He walks through life in a zombie-like way hoping for a better life for his family, seeing unreachable goals as living free in the country. Jonah loves his wife and his toddler daughter, but he is over-worked, over-stressed, and an under-achiever as he works the night-shift at a hotel. I will attempt to explain the meaning of the movie. ![]() SPOILER ALERT: Do *not* read any further if you don't want the ending revealed. ![]()
