K-PAX : The ending is intentionally vague.
Re: The ending is intentionally vague.
To me it is very clear, Prot is an alien from K-Pax and the catatonic body found after he left was the human that he was keeping alive. It may be subtle but not vague.
What in the movie might allow you to believe otherwise?

Sometimes I think we're alone in the universe, and sometimes not. With Prot I can never be alone.

There are many lines of reasoning for both, if you read through this board you will see them all. The movie was of course intentionally vague, if it hadn't been it would have shown him just walking out of a space ship or something. The point I am making is that they put a spin on every one of the reasons so it could be explained either way. That was their intention. If you asked one of the writers they would say "it's up to you to decide."
Re: The ending is intentionally vague.
But I am asking what is YOUR line of reasoning that might allow YOU to believe Prot isn't who he claims to be?

What reasoning could there be?
That poster never said what they believe or didn't believe.

And the film was beautifully ambiguous, to keep us deducing on both fronts. Vague indeed, as the OP said; there is nothing set in stone to solidify either one. There are factors that make the case for each, convincingly.
I'm not a control freak, I just like things my way
The ending is intentionally vague.
