The theme I saw in this movie was mind over matter. This guy's perception in his belief was so strong that it transcended reality and therefore created its own idea of real. It's like that saying seeing is believing well in Caesar's case believing was seeing. He so wanted to have the dream life he could have had before the accident where he got the girl and lived happily ever after, that his desperation drove him to self pity, suicide, and psychosis. He actually paid to kill himself and then have his body frozen away and implanted with his vision of happiness. All was well until the ugly little matter of reality started to kick in. There is only so much fantasy and dreams your mind can take before it wakes you up.
The similarity I saw between this movie and the Matrix was that both title characters sensed that something was not right but were so blinded by what they deemed to make sense to them that they continued to follow along even though there were countless signs of distortion and inaccuracy. It was not until they went searching for answers that they were able to finally their eyes and face the truth.
