if you notice at the end the rachel salando that he talks to in the cell is a nurse at the end of the movie

When he speaks to Rachael in the cave, she asks if he's been smoking his own cigarettes. Right at the beginning of the film, on the boat, he says he cant find his cigarettes. Any one else notice this?

after watching the movie a second time, i noticed how many little hints they were giving him to make him snap out of it, and also why they take his gun which wasnt real in the first place

In the end when leo says something like "live as a monster, or die a good man"

He KNEW he was never getting off that island, so he decided to let them do what they wanted (brain surgery, which hes most likely die in) Because he'd rather DIE a good man knowing he WAS Teddy, than staying there alive, as a patient and they brainwash him into thinking he's a monster (Andrew)

You need to think more outside of the box with this explanation, you just went along with what the movie tells you, its deeper than that,

@kingsmiles1 yes it had me all fucked up in the head I thought they were just playing tricks on teddy trying to get him to be trapped on the island or something idk

@dghansen85 I agree it is extremely dangerous but the Doctor (his name escapes me) would rather take the risk than labotomise him, a nice man. I think either the false memories of 'Teddy Daniels' where induced or started when he first came to Shutter Island, much like the fake Rachael who believed the staff where postmen and neighbours. Or they provoked his memories whilst on the ferry with Andrew Laedis stuff. I totally agree though, major plot holes and messed up stuff :)

[dghansen85]

@93tiny08 I understand that's the plan...but it's an incredibly dangerous plan, is it not? Don't you see the danger in letting a criminally insane inmate loose on a ferry under minimal guard?

And you said the memories would kick in. When exactly? And how do they know when? Memories aren't just something you can turn off and on with a switch. It makes no sense.

[kingsmiles1]

does anybody else think that he is actually a cop? and they fooled him into believing all this so that they could do experiments on him?

[93tiny08]

@dghansen85 They would have sent him on a round trip, so he wouldnt go to any land, he would set sail, go about a mile out, the memories would kick in and they would turn it around and thats where the movie starts
