Everyone keeps wondering why Leo didn't get an Oscar yet, well I used to but I started to understand that it might actually be because he has this same sort of way of tackling his roles, I mean he's a terrific actor and all, but he kinda has this Leo style of acting, brilliant ok but the same as always. Usually they give oscars to actors who have drastically altered their performance and completely got into character that you no longer recognize them as this famous person no more.
@Schmidteren I can't speculate why some actors didn't get nominated, if we're gonna go there then why didn't Brad Pitt get nominated for Jesse James, or maybe Emile Hirsch for Into the Wild? I dunno what rlly blows the academy away, but I know that those who win in the end are the actors who completely outdo themselves that they just STOP ACTING...they BECOME the character, and while you watch the film you actually forget that this is just celebrity X in disguise!!
Shutter Island is real masterpiece - great acting, directing, producing, everything. Some moments were even scary. Leonardo DiCaprio is real master (Leo acts even better than Johnny Depp). Ben Kingsley and Mark Ruffalo were great as well but I don't understand why so many people found the ending unpredictable. I predicted the ending after first 20-30 minutes. This movie is masterpiece but not as unpredictable as The Others, The Game, Identity, Fight Club, Cube 2 or The Prestige
After watching this, i think that he went to the island thinking he was investigating something (but he wasn't, he was being sent their by his doctor who was seen as his co worker) but when he finally came to terms with the fact that his wife killed his kids, he didn't want to live anymore.
Hence, why he said at the end "Would you rather live as a monster or die as a good man." So i think he was pretending to be mad at the end, so they would purposely take out his brain.
Great performance by Leo, and of course, let's not overlook the other cast. They are just great, absolutely amazing film and a great performance. Just outstanding!
Realy Original Moovie..... There is a moment in actors life when he chooses where to act And Dicaprio never chooses poor movies.... I respect him for that... Because REALY GUYS there are no bad movies with Dicaprio :D
is it just me or is this interviewer on speed??? lol... maybe he is just nervous!!! you can tell they have picked up on the fact that he is talking 90 wds a minute..lol they are trying to slow him down by responding to questions in a slow monotone..lol
are you really thinking he's crazy and a patient on shuter island for 2 years? maybe everything was planed, that's why they gave him ciagarettes and medicine all the time.. because he questioned the whole "thing"... i can't decide but i'm not TOTALLY convinced that he's crazy and everything....
well because in his state of mind she just died in the fire so at the beginning it is just him missing her a bit but that is what is making him go crazy because he just remembers her death as an accident because he couldnt come to terms that he killed her.. idk if i am answering your question... and also he is halucinating so he is like going crazy.. not sure if i was able to answer it XD
@argbarb8 no you actually did quite well that makes a lot of sense because you feel sorry for her and i guess if she died in the "fire" you should feel sorry for her. Such a powerful movie
yeah you just feel like he is missing her so it is normal that he sees her in his dreams and what not..but then to truth kindda starts to slip.. do you remember the first time he sees her in his dream and then she starts bleeding from the stomach? after watching the whole movie we realise that it's because that is where she was shot.
these film writers are smart people :P...super powerful movie..leaves you wondering about your sanity :P
the ending of the book is slightly different... in the film it is clear that Teddy has been taken for a labotomy but in the book it just ends with Teddy saying "Yeah, we are aren't we?" you should read it, it's brilliant
HUGE props for the Escher reference. This man knows his art. ;)
I'd even go as far as to say there was a strong "Hitchcockian" undertone to the film. It feels like you, as the viewer, are kind of flailing around in the dark along with this character trying to figure out what's happening and why everything about it feels off right up until the last second. I'd read the book, knew how the story would end, and still felt like I was going into the mystery fresh. Brilliantly done.
"It feels like you, as the viewer, are kind of flailing around in the dark along with this character trying to figure out what's happening and why everything about it feels off right up until the last second."
Wonderfully put. On the edge of my seat watching it & even still thinking about it. Wow what a perfomance by DiCaprio
This was a good film.I would u nderstan dit better if i watched it again,but i dont watch movies twice.it was confusing and weird.reminds me of the machinist and K Pax
People who say the movie has "a twist" at the end of the film are incorrect, it's just the way it is the day when you suddenly realize your insane, so there's no twist - it's a only symptom of waking up & stepping back into reality
A twist is a turnaround of the story; something that you werent expecting. It's like saying that the fact of Darth Vader being Luke Skywalkers father wasnt a twist because he'd been his father all his life; it's just that we didn't know about it. >.<'
It has nothing to do with what the characters knew, it has everything to do with what the audience was expecting. The audcience was not supposed to expect the ending of this movie.
But I see your point, I guess it was supposed to be a twist in the ending, yet whenever I'm in the asylum & I see them admit either a Detective, Jesus, or Napoleon I tend to suspect the one in for a twist had just walked in the door...
the twist at the end is incredible. the whole film we establish a close relationship to dicaprio (edward daniels) then we realise hes mad just like the rest
i just watched this movie, and to make a long story short it is amazing, unlike any other movie i have ever seen. I tought shutter island was going to be some kind of a horror movie. well, i can't say it was, it's kind of hard to describe it. totally one of it's kind. like many people say, it's a mindfuck. you will feel amazing after you watch it and think about what you just watched, it's a really clever movie, and the actors where amazing. decaprio was excellent and so was the rest of the team
@DieselVsVans . "mindfuck" the exact word i thought when I saw it. amazing movie, makes me wonder though why would they pick this kind of trailer, it completely unjustified the whole plot of the movie
When he is in the cave talking to the imaginary female doctor, he is essentially talking to himself about whether a labotomy actually CAN take away all memories. He is wrestling with the decision, maybe subconsciously, of whether to take that step. I think he talks himself, via the "doctor" into accepting the fact that he can have these memories erased by way of this procedure
@southrules I understood the movie perfectly, man, in fact I understood what was gonna happen after watching it for 10 minutes,. Hell yeah, am I not clever, kid. On the other hand, if your intelectual lineage doesn't reach further than the three or four sometimes decent American film makers, it doesn't mean that the rest of the world uses their leisure time in the same crappy way.
@southrules ok, maybe not 10 minutes. Here is the real story: I felt asleep after a while and when I woke up just before Di Caprio starts talking to the woman in the cave, I told myself while wiping the cold out my eye: "this is delusional. This dude is nuts and the weird shit ain't happening." You might give me no credit, but this is how it went, the movie is just to similar to other cheap thrillers of the kind.
Well the movie was adapted from the novel, so if you're complaining about the plot, blame Dennis Lehane. I even think Lehane said the book was meant to be a homage to 'B movies' and pulp. But It's also a commentary on the controversy of mental asylums during that time period, and of course the psychological aspects of Leo's character.
In any case, this was a great adaption. Pretty much everything from the acting performances, direction, and visuals were better than any cheap thriller I've seen.
This movie is like an amazing girlfriend. Takes you on the most exhilarating phenomenal journey of your entire life and ends up totally fucking with your mind leaving you trying to replay things over and over again, 6/5 fucking brilliant and I recommend you watch.
shutter island and inception were great. leo is on a role. The only thing that is bad is that Shutter Island came out at the very start of the year so leo will probably not get Best Actor because those movies are usually forgotten about when it is time to vote for the oscars.
At the end though, I think he was completely sane and decided to let the people take his life. He would rather die as Teddy than live as what he truly is.
And when his delusions of wife keep popping up and saying " the lighthouse will be the end of you" she was referring to the character that he made himself become. If he went to the lighthouse, he would become sane again.
@20bill3 i believed he was nuts except one thing- the tie. If he really was imagining all that, how did he get ahold of that tie and blow up the car with it? Or was all that given to him beforehand.
Between Titanic, Catch me if you can and this moview, Leo is one of the greatest actors of my generation. I respect that like Depp, he doesn't by into the pretty boy bullshit.
@Weabe112 acowa4104 talks about the ending and I understould the ending as Leo's character regressing. I was waiting for him to catch the evil people in the lighthouse but once it was clearly all in his mind, I knew he was another patient making things up to cope with his life's tragedy. The fact that Leo's character didn't run away lead me to believe that he knew he was in denial about what happened but it was comfortable to cling to a lie. He allows the labotomy to finally end the nightmare.
@Weabe112 No problem. Perfect Strangers, The 6th Day and Fight Club are good psychological mind fucks. Maybe not the 6th so much but the others were alittle mind twisting.
Leo NEVER disappoints me.. just as i expected this is really a great movie.. until i lay down to sleep i'm still thinking about this movie.. mind boggling especially the talk he had on the cave just over the cliffs..
shutter island REALLY tapped into all of my emotions...my god. I wanted to freaking KILL that woman for drowning her kids....ugh its sad that people actually do those things in real life.
Thats never stopped hollywood before, they don't need a plot, script or even talent to make a sequel, however I do agree there won't be anouther film...
When he says 'die a good man or live as a monster' he is saying he would rather die then live with the fact that he did all those things (trying to avoid spoilers lol)
Thus he gets up and walks away with the orderlies. He doesn't want to leave and live as a monster.
@xxjoexboixx hmm i think that he ment he's rather die as the imagenary charachter he made up, Teddy, who was a good man, then to live as who he really is, the man who murdered his wife. He didnt wanna let go of his fantasy world. So if he were to be killed, he would die as Teddy. im not sure if that's what you mean as well xD but none the less i thought he was actually insane. xD
Best movie ive seen in a while. A twist you never see coming! But once you know the plot the whole movie makes total since! Ahh Lenardo is such a good actor and hes still cute after all these years(:
one of the BEST movies i've seen ever, by the end of it i've realized that i've experienced what insanity/sanity is, in the mind of an insane man. it's like i've been living in his mind and hearing his thoughts. Dicaprio hit another level here IMO. i felt every emotion expressed in the movie intensely..all actors were AMAZING!
if you see other really psychological thriller films, the movie doesn't seem all that original. it kinda has elements from memento cuz of the ending, little bit of fight club (the delusions/ hallucinations), and 12 monkeys.(mental institution). but dicaprio's really good at acting.
Great movie! certainly the best I've seen in a long time, and deff not the normal bullshit CG dominated summer blockbuster that isn't even worth renting. Sure it has CG in it, but it's done subtly (as it should). I gotta admit i saw the "twist" ending coming from nearly the start though.

This movie is like an amazing girlfriend. Takes you on the most exhilarating phenomenal journey of your entire life and ends up totally fucking with your mind leaving you trying to replay things over and over again, 6/5 fucking brilliant and I recommend you watch.

shutter island and inception were great. leo is on a role. The only thing that is bad is that Shutter Island came out at the very start of the year so leo will probably not get Best Actor because those movies are usually forgotten about when it is time to vote for the oscars.

This movie was AMAZING!!!
At the end though, I think he was completely sane and decided to let the people take his life. He would rather die as Teddy than live as what he truly is.
And when his delusions of wife keep popping up and saying " the lighthouse will be the end of you" she was referring to the character that he made himself become. If he went to the lighthouse, he would become sane again.

@20bill3 i believed he was nuts except one thing- the tie. If he really was imagining all that, how did he get ahold of that tie and blow up the car with it? Or was all that given to him beforehand.

Between Titanic, Catch me if you can and this moview, Leo is one of the greatest actors of my generation. I respect that like Depp, he doesn't by into the pretty boy bullshit.

Guys, Answer Me This Please.
I Just Watched It And WoW,
But At The End, Is What They Told Him The Truth, Or Were They Controlling His Mind?,
If You Know The Answer, Then Tell Me How You Know.
I Really Want To Understand It, =)

@Weabe112 acowa4104 talks about the ending and I understould the ending as Leo's character regressing. I was waiting for him to catch the evil people in the lighthouse but once it was clearly all in his mind, I knew he was another patient making things up to cope with his life's tragedy. The fact that Leo's character didn't run away lead me to believe that he knew he was in denial about what happened but it was comfortable to cling to a lie. He allows the labotomy to finally end the nightmare.

WoW, Okay.
Thankyou Very Much.
And So Was I Waiting For Him To Catch Them In The Lighthouse,
And When They Kept Saying There's 67 Patients, I Kept Saying Leo Was The 67th.
It Is Litrally A Mind Blagg Don't You Think. .
But Once Again Thankyou. =)

@Weabe112 No problem. Perfect Strangers, The 6th Day and Fight Club are good psychological mind fucks. Maybe not the 6th so much but the others were alittle mind twisting.

It's a very accurate discription of what it's like to loose your grip on reality & go insane...
the suddenly realizing your insane & everything you knew or thought was a delusion, all the time trying to sort out how to think,feel...
His mistake was not listening to the woman at the begining who said "shhh", If he was IronicallyVague they wouldn't have cut up his brain.

Don't be fooled by the ending. Look for a sequel when DiCaprio finally uncovers what's really going on at Shutter Island.

@bjlyon615 that wont happen because shutter island was based on a book and theres no sequel to that book

I think he is sane at the end.
When he says 'die a good man or live as a monster' he is saying he would rather die then live with the fact that he did all those things (trying to avoid spoilers lol)
Thus he gets up and walks away with the orderlies. He doesn't want to leave and live as a monster.
xxjoexboixx 1 year ago
@xxjoexboixx hmm i think that he ment he's rather die as the imagenary charachter he made up, Teddy, who was a good man, then to live as who he really is, the man who murdered his wife. He didnt wanna let go of his fantasy world. So if he were to be killed, he would die as Teddy. im not sure if that's what you mean as well xD but none the less i thought he was actually insane. xD

one of the BEST movies i've seen ever, by the end of it i've realized that i've experienced what insanity/sanity is, in the mind of an insane man. it's like i've been living in his mind and hearing his thoughts. Dicaprio hit another level here IMO. i felt every emotion expressed in the movie intensely..all actors were AMAZING!
blinkiya 1 year ago
if you see other really psychological thriller films, the movie doesn't seem all that original. it kinda has elements from memento cuz of the ending, little bit of fight club (the delusions/ hallucinations), and 12 monkeys.(mental institution). but dicaprio's really good at acting.

Great movie! certainly the best I've seen in a long time, and deff not the normal bullshit CG dominated summer blockbuster that isn't even worth renting. Sure it has CG in it, but it's done subtly (as it should). I gotta admit i saw the "twist" ending coming from nearly the start though.
