*** SPOILER ***

Well, when I saw the movie I also wondered whether Kyle was really John.
Something about the way he says to Sarah (under the bridge), "about my
height...".  But, when Kyle died, I decided that it was probably 
coincidence... my feeling is that an Oedipal hero would not have died, but
rather ended up with Sarah.  Still, it's a good question... Can anyone else
think of anything which would make Kyle = John ?
