i watched this 2003 film identity and i dnt understand the story, did the murders actually happen or were just imagination? and if they were imagination then why was the guy held in prison?
The guy had a multiple personality disorder. He was placed on a medication that was supposed to make him "normal" again. In order to be normal all of the other identities had to go away. The way it happened was one of his identities (the true identity) killed off all of his other identities. I think he must have committed crimes and been found not guilty by reason of insanity or something...it has been a long time since I have seen the movie. It turned out that his true identity (the little boy) was the one that was murderous, which is why he killed the cops in the car at the end. I loved that movie when I saw it!
