i just watched shutter island. I dont think I will watch this movie again....because I didn't really like how it was written...it just seemed awkward...BUT....I love the screenplay, directing, acting, and the umm atmosphere that was created. I am still trying to figure out what was happening in this film. There are 2 plausible explanations, i think....1 being that Teddy (leo) was sane, and the other he is insane......and I think it was made to be like that. Keep in mind I never read the book...
spoilers....
Scorcese gives you plausible reasons for each outcome in the end. For example, at the very start of the movie when they are on the ferry, it begins with Leo throwing up in the bathroom. When he comes out, he puts his jacket on and digs for his cigarettes. However, the cigarettes are not in his pocket. He says something along the lines of "I coulda sworn I just had them.." and Chuck (who he has never met before, and is already smoking his cigarette) offers him some of his cigarettes. I believe his cigarettes were taken on purpose, and this is when they begin to drug Leo. If anyone wants to discuss I will go further into details, but I believe he was mentally stable......and the whole movie was NOT a figment of his imagination..
