* AlternativeCharacterInterpretation: Or, rather, "alternative story interpretation", considering that all animated sequences is an [[spoiler:elaborate ImagineSpot in Michael's head]], it begs the question as to whether or not Ida and Angie are as mutually abusive ("trying to kill each other" abusive) as the animation really portrays them. One could say, they hate each other and, probably do beat each other and argue a lot, but their feelings towards each other are not as extreme as Michael might imagine them to be. Likewise, some of the things his parents (especially Ida's) say and do in the sequences might just come from memory and his interpretations of them.

** [[spoiler: In regards to ImagineSpot as a whole, is ''any'' of what we're seeing real? It's obvious Michael being shot by Shorty didn't really happen, since Michael is just fine in the "real" world, but what about the rest of it? Did any of it really happen, or is it all just a story Michael is making up in his head? If some of it really happened, how accurately are the events and characters portrayed in Michael's memories?]]
