I love your theory Alissa! If that's not it, it should be.
Bree gets the same melancholy look on her face when she talks about Cassie as she does when she talks about the science teacher.

Sometimes it is just nice to know that you're considered a nice person.
If something as tramatic as Bree being molested by her teacher and it caused her psyche to split, it would be something of which Bree is unaware. She may have had conversations with Cassie when Bree has alone (thus her knowing the name and about her situation) but she likely doesn't realize that she is Cassie. And if she is Cassie, chances are that Cassie may come out in one of the videos where she might be stimulated in a similar nature to her being molested.
Will it be Daniel that dips into the pond, or perhaps something during the ceremony that may cause her exposed personality to shift to Cassie and away from Bree. Only time will tell.
But it would be a good story.
Oh and Cassie = Cassiopia = Consellation for those that don't study the stars.

Well, it wasn't my theory all on my own, I was talking with someone about it and it sorta just clicked. Edit: Sharp-- What you said makes sense. Completely. Which brings me to this thought... maybe that's why she asked about Cassie in the swimming video? She was alone, with a boy she may or may not like, more naked than usual, wet... might have brought back memories, and touched upon the Cassie memory. Edit again: Yes, Temp clued me into the stars thing last night. Also, if she sees it, she should post the wiki she found about Cassandra and molestation. <3 Edit: I just realized that I probably shouldn't have put a heart at the end of that, but oh well.

This is a crazy, interesting (and scary) plot, Alissa! But the plot theory explains why Daniel couldn't recognize Cassie's name ("Cassie who?" I think he asked, scratching the back of his head with a puzzled expression on his face, etc.)
Can the LG15 team read this thread? I hope they do; it's more interesting than some of the plots they have had in the past (including a rip-off from Spiderman 2).

The distorted audio file, the e-mail saying there is more than one girl, unconscience, etc. and the e-mail address of Cassie struggles I think lends credence to the fact that this might be have more steam than some of the other theories. Maybe while she was being raped she was looking up at the stars and saw Cassiopia on the in-classroom map on the ceiling.

Basically the summary of my 'theory' is this: Yeah, that's an interesting angle that hadn't occured to me and now it sparks off a series of connections: Bree/Cassie. BC. Before Christ... And of course its the nasty science teacher that the creationists all have a problem with.... I'm hating all this speculation - it brings out the worst in people and I really don't want my current suspicions confirmed.

I'm not sure she was raped... just sexually abused. In fact I *really* think she wasn't raped. She's still a virgin, her purity bond is kept-- but she was abused sexually and for a sheltered relgious child, ((and anyone, really)) that would be extremely traumatic, enough to cause a split.

Okay, I should have just said abused. How far it went is up to how willing the creators are to shock their viewers. As far as Bree is concerned, her purity bond is in tact. However, physically it may not.

I think you've come up with an interesting plot even if it isn't what this is all about in the end. The 'proving science wrong' takes on a whole new meaning if you're right.
In the real world that kind of disassociation is very rare and seldom are people as functional as "Bree" seems to be. But then this is the movies, right?

Brian: Bree isn't too functional, though. She can't handle real school, she's VERY childish for her age, she doesn't have any friends besides Daniel... though she seems normal to us, that is because we havent seen her interact with anything besides the camera, and someone who sits on her bed and reads all the time.

Your points are well taken. And she certainly acts childish and socially awkward by times. I was thinking more of personal hygiene, weight issues and either so passive as to be invisible or so aggressive as to be unreasonable -depending on the personality in charge - as to be no fun to watch. Perhaps it's Cassie who's editing in Daniel's absence?

If she was overweight, ugly and repressed, nobody would be watching.

THOUGHT:Is it common for children,to acquire some "imaginary friend,alter ego,or relate to a particular comfort toy .......... 1.if they are lonely 2.if they have had some kind of trauma 3.if they were deemed different in school 4.if they were bullied 5.if they have strict and controlling parents 6.if they were somewow physically impaired,ie eyesight
I suspect the answer is yes to all in relation to "bree"

Oh, I've been hawking them around for the past day .... alissabrooke.proboards56.com/index.cgi?board=theories&action=display&thread=1157436778&page=1#1157467117The manipulative nature of the plot is by turns quite sophisticated (the swimming video turns Daniel's obviously infatuated and, perhaps loving, gaze into a source of real discomfort for the audience. Coupled with the lyrics... well, watch it again, it accuses us all of being the 'junkie') and quite clumsy: (the hokey way our attention is drawn to the Crowley picture). Such apparent inconsistency in handling the narrative points me towards the notion that this is an exercise in didacticism. Its a message movie. That's why there is so little contact with the makers. They don't care what we might be thinking, about our interpretation. They only care that we get the point. Their message.
