achilles Posted June 6, 2010 Report Share Posted June 6, 2010 so..shutter island guys... sane or insane? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
godspeed4476 Posted June 7, 2010 Report Share Posted June 7, 2010 saw shutter island 2-3 weeks back, Dont know about you guys, the frequent visions of his wife and in the scene where the cyclone hits and the place where they hold most insane patients, where leo attacks one of the mad scientist, for me it was a dead give away tht He is the one who is crazy. Also saw Ninja Assassin, was happy to see tht the film was more gorier and bloodier then NG2 game and extensive use of Kusari gama , my fav ingame weapon. but overall the film was below average and my expectations Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Aftrunner Posted June 7, 2010 Report Share Posted June 7, 2010 Sir. I request a Hi5 Die haters! /Hi5 so..shutter island guys... sane or insane? I am pretty sure he is sane at the end. The whole die a monster line at the end couldnt have been a bigger giveaway. Also it was a bit unnecessary, it was too "wink, wink, nudge, nudge". Should have left it a bit more open ended. And yeah I agree with Tyler. Dicaprio is a bloody brilliant actor. The scene at the end by the lake was absolutely mesmerizing. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

But there was also the possibility of him losing it because of the pills, food, cigarettes etc. Also, Afty is right, the ending is ambiguous. Even I don't think he was crazy, he just accepted it. He was never gonna get out of there. I think I will watch the movie again. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

In the End , chuck calls him by his new name (which he created whilst insane) 'Ted' but he refuses to acknowledge/reply and also the monster line. Hence i think he was cured Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Tyler Posted June 8, 2010 Report Share Posted June 8, 2010 (edited) In the End , chuck calls him by his new name (which he created whilst insane) 'Ted' but he refuses to acknowledge/reply and also the monster line. Hence i think he was cured My interpretation of the last line is as follows: Teddy was somehow manipulated/drugged into believing that he murdered his wife and was a patient at Shutter Island. There was no escaping this no matter how hard he tried. The island was cut off from the mainland and was controlled by the doctors. So he'd rather die as a good man (Teddy the Federal Marshall) than a monster (Andrew Laeddis) which he was made to believe he was. And by dying he meant undergoing the lobotomy. Then again, the ending is deliberately left open for interpretation and if you choose to believe that Ted was in fact insane, it's perfectly fine. Because the story makes sense that way too. I just feel that by believing that Shutter Island was a truly evil place run by evil doctors it kinda makes the movie a lot more sinister. Also, even if you accept that Teddy had been a patient, I don't think he was cured at the end. He went back to being Teddy and thats when Chuck looked at the doctors and gave a disappointed look. At which point the doctors and orderlies start escorting him presumably to the lighthouse for the lobotomy. Thats why the last shot was of the lighthouse. Either way, it was a brilliant movie. Made me think about it for a long time after I left the theater. That hasn't happened in a long time. Edited June 8, 2010 by Tyler Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dante77 Posted June 8, 2010 Report Share Posted June 8, 2010 (edited) I believe the latter one Reason: you chuck point. "Chuck looked at the doctors and gave a disappointed look" Edited June 8, 2010 by dante77 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Doobz Posted June 8, 2010 Report Share Posted June 8, 2010 In the End , chuck calls him by his new name (which he created whilst insane) 'Ted' but he refuses to acknowledge/reply and also the monster line. Hence i think he was cured What i understood was that he couldnt bear the burden to understand if it was all a truth or a lie so he called him chuck so that he could be put out of his misery and escape the mental anguish of finding out the truth.

At which point the doctors and orderlies start escorting him presumably to the lighthouse for the lobotomy. Thats why the last shot was of the lighthouse. Teddy referred to Chuck all of that deliberately, so as to make him think that he still is insane... Chuck made that clear to the doctor who then was prepared for a lobotomy... and in the end, Teddy raised the ambiguity to Chuck that he is actually cured (hence, Chuck's reaction) but couldnt live with all the memories related to his family... i think he was confused himself!!
