Are y'all reading way too much into this movie or just confused by a slightly complicated plot? I thought it was pretty straight forward. He was a US Marshall. His wife drowned their children. He went crazy. Made up a fictional account of her dying and an arsonist to place his anger towards. The doctor was trying to make him realize who is was and what had happened. He did, but decided he didn't want to live with the truth, so he pretended to still be oblivious so they would labotomize him.

What's all this he really was an arsonist stuff? The scenes with water and fire? What are you saying is the significance?

I've heard a lot of people say this movie confused them. Poor attention spans/reasoning/sense.
