Poll: Shutter Island was he a nutter?
 

I watched Shutter Island last night. Firstly absolutely brilliant movie.

So my question... was he a nutter or not?

I feel that he was due to you never seeing him on the mainland, the opening sequence was of him on the ferry with his "new" partner.
The spooky looking bird as he walked in had her finger over her mouth as to say that she was told to keep quiet.
If they were conducting such horrific experiments in the lighthouse, and all of the staff knew, the public would have known.
And finally, after all the shit the poor bloke had gone through. e.g Concentration camps and what his crazy bitch wife did, most people would definitely be damaged goods after that.

What are your thoughts? Oh and if you haven't watched it... WATCH IT!!

P.S What did the note mean? I know the 67 part, but the law of 4 line?

Wasn't it though that they recreated his fantasy in real life, so they just made up the story about the light house?

I don't know. I think I will need to rewatch it.

This movie has had me thinking since last night. Damn suspense movies with a twist!

Ending leaves you thinking, was he nuts, was he legit and made nuts, was the island centre going to great lengths due to them actually carrying out the brain experiments.

Fantastic movie!

Just another mind fuck from the big man Leonardo....
Inception, was he dreaming or not in the end!?!?!?!

Sorry if its a little off the topic.

Well said! great movie, to tired to think of anything even semi intersmectual to say.

Dicaprio seems to be coming up trumps in all the movies he's been in recently, and I hear Inception is a brilliant movie as well.

To me, the last scene when he says "Which would be worse, to live as a monster, or to die as a good man?" made me think perhaps he didn't relapse... But farking good movie!

My take on it was that he deliberately pretended to still be in his FBI agent delusion so that they would give him a frontal lobotomy. So that he didn't have to live with the memories of what he'd been through.

As for Inception, who knows... I don't think it really matters though, he was happy with the 'reality' he was living in, whether that top stopped spinning or not.
