The whole movie is a mix up of imagined and real memories in the janitors head, whom is Jake btw but the whole idea of the movie making us consecrate on the girl who's in fact only in his imagination mad eus believe she's the star!
As we saw in a lot of scenes, she is incredibly confused to find herself aware in this environment and cannot remember her own name or anything about herself. And every now and then there's a new name for her and a new backstory of how they met or what she even do!
Jake is also very confused to find she has gained awareness, as seen when she starts thinking, "I'm thinking of ending things." and he looks over in shock. He thought he was in control of the memory / fantasy, but the characters started acting independently from him. ( side note: I thought when she was thinking of ending things that it meant the relationship, but as the movie played I understood that its Jake thinking of ending life )
He also didn't want her to go into the basement but she disobeyed him. In the basement was his deepest fear. The deepest fear was being a school janitor for the rest of his life and squandering all of his talent and intelligence.
As the movie ends, there are 2 of the last scenes i wanna share my thoughts about. When he was being awarded Nobel prize, I believe the meaning in his head that he believes that actually people deserves a happy endings, just like in movies or books who his whole memories are mixed with! And the audience are all the people that he actually met in his life that left an impact in him, good or not.
The 2nd, and actually is the last scene is where the car was completely covered in snow it references back to the idea of landscape shots without any people in it. We're able to pick up on the sadness of the scene, knowing that the janitor is dead in the car, even though you can't see any people in it.
