Shutter Island - General - Facepunch Forum

I think I see what is going on. [sp]He was sane at the begging but mentally weak. His wife was killed in the fire and he had no kids. The one kid he keeps seeing (from the drugs) is a victim of the nazis and he felt guilty for not getting there in time. His partner was working for shutter island. The whole roleplay was to implant false memories. They showed him one picture of the nazi victim and threw 2 others in to solidify the artifical memories. At the end he doesn't really know whats going on and he doesn't want to so he gets the lobotomy. Something like that anyway, the ending isn't simple.[/sp] Amazingly complexed movie... no idea how anyone could come up with that.

It was incredibly predictable.

The entire movie relied on the twist, I didn't like it for the same reason that I really didn't like Sixth Sense all that much either.

Shit.

Saw the ending coming from a mile away, before I even saw the movie I called it. Other than that it was alright.

it was really similar to inception

[QUOTE=austen508;24634197]it was really similar to inception[/QUOTE] get out. on topic, i was watching this the other day (only for the second time) and i felt that if i hadn't seen it before, i would have never seen the twist coming.

this film is only good the first time you watch it, unless you somehow completely forget the [sp]twist[/sp]

I didn't particularly enjoy this movie, thought it was really silly.

He killed his wife after she drowned them in the lake. The bit about them giving him drugs and trying to make it up was just part of what he did with the roleplay.[/sp] [editline]04:31PM[/editline] I also loved the song they had playing, albeit it wouldn't be playing in Nazi Germany because Mahler was a jew. Still, it sets the mood perfectly. [editline]04:31PM[/editline] This one. [media]http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=TyGmllnYC3g[/media]

I thought the movie was decent, and the end could've been more surprising but it kinda dragged on for like half an hour. I like my twist endings fast and sudden.

at first I didn't like it, then I grew to appreciate it
