It's spoiled by his desperate attempt in trying to be vague and coy and "leave it up to the viewer" in terms of all the crap thrown into the last half an hour so anyone can come up with any kind of "meaning" behind it from all the references and stuff. Probably because he knew just going all in on the ending the way the book does is a very overdone idea in film. So he tried to be too clever about it and spoiled it in the process. It would've worked much better had he just owned the kind of movie it was and stripped it back, rather than being preoccupied with trying to be arty and pretentious.
