One of those rare movies where you can only experience it through Teddy's perspective the first time you watch it. Any subsequent viewing will be through Dr Lester's perspective. Such a brilliant movie.
He WAS a mental patient. Read the book. In the book it is explained that he messed up his wifes medication while drunk, he gave her a double dose which made her even more crazy and that led to her killing the kids. His insanity is due to the guilt he has regarding losing his wife and kids. It's in the booook!
It’s so cruel that we were made to side with Teddy for the entirety of the movie until this scene, dumped onto us like ice water. I kept denying the truth and hoped that Teddy was right but he was the insane one all along. Even after all the hints the movie threw at us we still didn’t get it. Scorsese is brilliant.
I love all the small little details and hints we got throughout this movie that you pick up on in second rewatch. The fact that the guards who were supposed to be searching for the missing patient all appeared to be bored and uninterested and are not searching. The chains in the boat at the beginning of the movie. The strange looks everyone gives Teddy/Andrew. The fact that his “partner” the doctor has a hard time taking off his holster, despite allegedly being a US Marshall who wears a gun daily. There’s so many, but the movie does such a good job of stringing us along until it’s time for the big reveal. Incredible movie, one of my all time favorites.
@@luissandro5535 Good theory but I feel it's pretty obvious that he is patient 67 and in reality is having delusions and hallucinations the whole movie. "Teddy" is clearly a schizophrenic with PTSD and severe delusional disorder.
@@thecookj454 But why should there be a 67 Person at all He was finding This paper and if the Girl which escaped isnt real (which she isnt in both cases rather hes Crazy Or Not ) There are just two options left He Wrote This letter by himself o crawley did
@@luissandro5535 It’s explained in the movie. Dr Crawly is letting Andrew play out his fantasy to get him to accept reality in a desperate attempt to get him back to sanity so he won’t have to be lobotomized. Dr Cawley is the one who wrote “patient 67 the rule of 4” or one of the staff did because Andrew is denial that he’s a patient on Shutter Island. It’s all a hoax that was pre planned and everyone in the treatment center is playing along with him until he reaches the light house where Dr Crawly and Andrews psychiatrist attempt to break him from his insanity. I feel like this is all stated very clearly at the end of the movie, the theory that he is not insane and being trapped on an island doesn’t really make much since
The ending was really sad. He still remembers everything, but fakes still being dissociated from reality, because he’d rather be lobotomized and live as a memoryless, emotionless zombie, than remember the truth.
Ben Kingsley was perfect in this film, what we took as a sinister attitude of hiding something was actually his frustration and patience wearing thin that his treatment for Teddy still isn't working, and he makes it translate over really well. By the end of the film we actually felt bad that we suspected him because we can see he really did care about his patients.
That right there was one of the best things about the movie and is what makes the twist so great despite a lot of people calling it predictable: It was supposed to be predictable and cliche. The entire movie and plot is seen through Teddy's eyes and that's how we interpret the film in the beginning. We see a sketchy, evil mental hospital with its gothic architecture on a dark island and we instantly assume there's something bad happening here because that's what Teddy thinks in his mind. And then at the end we realize that none of that was true, the Mental hospital is actually a well renowned and well funded hospital with good doctors.
He’s such an incredible actor. He played this role brilliantly. The last scene of him responding to what he thought was a failed experiment to cure Andrew.. he said so much with his facial expression without saying anything
@@slappytheclown4ACTUAAALLY... It's a layer deeper than that. Everything Rachel says in the cave is 100% true. Watch it again. It plays out EXACTLY the way she says it would. Teddy was completely sane. They made him (and us) believe the opposite.
As a schizophrenic this movie really moves me. People don’t understand how traumatic and defeating it is to understand the reality you believe is not real. It’s so hard but at the same time it’s better than not knowing the truth. Sometimes it’s hard to trust others, especially medical professionals. It’s like seeing the sky being blue your entire life to find out it’s been green this whole time
I didn’t think schizophrenics understood they were schizophrenics.. Surely the whole point is that they can’t distinguish between reality and delusion.
Glad you explained it like this. He couldn’t even tell it was a toy. That should discredit ppl who still think he was being manipulated to believe he was crazy
It’s kind of fun to think about Mark Ruffalo’s journey in this movie, how he gets to cosplay as a cop and run around solving pretend crimes with his buddy
I believe in the end, there’s a glimpse that he realizes his fate and chooses that door. I think we all would, if we came to find what our lives had become
the heart break people go through would absolutely make them choose the door where you just end it. Living a life where you had 3 beautiful children, a gorgeous loving wife and you lost it all would make a lot of people not to want to even try again. Hell, thats the door I would take. I wouldn't want to have to start over after losing all that.
To the people who say that Ben Kingsley and everybody else were evil. In the last scene when DiCaprio seemingly confirms that he has relapsed (even though he has not) by referring to Mark as his partner, Ruffalo looks at Kingsley and the German doctor to signal the same. Even though the scene is shot from afar you can see the sheer disappointment and grief in Ben Kingsley’s face. He genuinely wanted it all to work out.
@@aznanimegob What HE did to his Family? Did you even watched the Movie? His Wife killed the Kids and he shot his Wife (wich was completely justified but messed him up mentally)
@@senor1913 yes, but Andrew chooses to be lobotomized to not live with the memory of his wife and children, so he fakes being insane again in the final scene
And so, does he really go back into a state of delusion/denial or does he merely pretend to do so in order to get lobotomized so the pain is not so heavy? Or is he considering to end his life? I think he's only pretending. His awareness came back and he couldn't stand to live with that so he rather pretend he's still delusional so they lobotomize him.
@@josefinebliss2801 he comes to terms with the fact that wether its all true or not,he cant win. so with the understanding that hes fucked either way he went ahead and got lobotomized.
Leo's acting with the photos is brilliant. Adrenaline high from the outburst he just had, the truth slowly but surely sinking in, the memories slowly but surely coming back up, but still thoroughly confused... for the moment.
So glad that I didn't get spoiled until the first time I watched this movie. The revelation really threw me off, never knew that the plot twist was this shocking.
I loved not knowing anything about this movie and being bamboozled with the twist. I was lucky not to see it coming or figure it out as the movie went along. This reveal blew my mind and the best part was watching it again and then seeing all the signs that my brain overlooked the first time. Pure genius film.
On my first viewing, I thought that he'd relapsed. On the second, I finally understood what the final scene means. What he was actually saying. The treatment worked. He just couldn't bear it.
Shaped my view on Mental Health during nursing school. "I have this radical idea that if treat a patient with respect, listen to him, try to understand, you just might reach him."
Good for you my friend. No matter the distance, some form of connection can be made. As someone whose been through the mental health system, I respect your stance. Find the connection then work from there. I wish you well.
Yeah... If only that's how it worked in real life. In real life mental health professionals like that do not exist. They don't care enough to actually want to help.

This is such a good plot twist. After losing my own children to violence, i honestly battle with this dissociative experience where life feels similarly. Like everybody’s in a play going along with my delusions to keep me sane. I struggle a lot to fathom the life i once had with my babies. It sucks i wouldn’t wish this on anyone. I wish there were more communities online for parents who lose their children because i wonder if we all experience this level of trauma with dissociation
You lost your children ? Children, as in plural ? My god. I just can’t, I can’t even imagine. My friend, I wish the best for you, lord knows how you are still going. Heartbreaking, I hope you can find some solace or peace.
Hey I’m just some random dude from Canada and reading this comment makes me feel for you. Sorry you are dealing with these delusions and dissociations. I assure you there is no grand scheme out there (or I’m definitely not in on it if there was one).
This has been the only time that reading the book before seeing the movie ruined the viewing experience for me. Because all I was doing was watching Mark Ruffalo, I see you doc, I see you.
One of the greatest movies ever made. This has to be one of the best performances any of the actors involved have ever done in all their careers and that's objective. This is a movie that you simply cannot watch enough
This plot twist absolutely hit me like a truck. It was so damn good that I still have a hard time believing that he isn’t really a detective who was manipulated by the people on the island. Biggest mindfuck movie of all time.
Una vez escuché a un psicoanalista decir que el dolor de una pérdida es la barrera que te salva para no caer en la locura. En éste caso no vino el dolor "a salvar" al personaje entonces vino la locura. La primera vez que ví ésta película me partió el alma ésta escena. Creo que Di Caprio merecía el Oscar por ésta tremenda interpretación. En fin.
I actually got a chance to see the "real" Shutter island that was used as inspiration for the movie. Taking a ferry from Salem to Boston, we passed Long Island in Boston harbor and could see the buildings that made up the psychiatric hospital facility that existed on the island from the late 19th to mid 20th century.
The problem I have with this even though it's through Teddy's perspective was when the doctor said he was trying to build something here. He wasn't crazy in my opinion. Great movie...
This movie is fantastic. The first time you watch it something feels off and the twist is perfectly crafted. Any other viewing and you can see the details hidden throughout
Watched it a second time with my girlfriend and she immediately understood that Andrew was sick.... that was such a bummer to watch her being right for the rest of the movie lol
Literally had the exact same thing - she got the exact twist in about 15 minutes. It took me about 3 watches of it and I still didn't quite get it haha
Exactly the only reason they're putting this much effort into him is to convince him that hes crazy because he was starting to discover the horrible things that they were actually doing
I bet most people go back and watch this movie again after the first viewing. It is a "two-view" movie to fill in the blanks and notice things you missed the first time. So sad but an amazing movie.
Y'all can't fool me I know Teddy is real I know. Once he gets to the mainland the lid is gonna blow off I watched it a second time just now and it gave me chills lol
Whatever this is not fair. This man was not even crazy but his wife in the first place . She killed his children then after finding it out he killed her then now he has ended up in psychiatric. Pfff
@@tannerfishalow4894 I said in the first place he wasn't until he saw the killing of his children from his wife . He wasn't crazy in the first place then one day he got insane for what his wife had done to his children. This is why he is in hospital and he had totally forgotten about it until this episode .
I don’t think you understand what crazy is. Leo’s character can’t see reality, and he constantly is reminded of the tragic nightmare when he killed his wife who also killed his three children. The point of this therapy was for him to break that cycle of torment and accept what happened.

its scorsese worst film, I remember when this came out about a dozen movies had the same “twist” within a few year period. Super lame.

Not overly rare. A Beautiful Mind did the same type thing 9 years earlier.
@@mohammedkahaf2428 exactly, if you watched it and other movies around the year it came out youll realize its a dime a dozen movie
This is one of the biggest plot twists in cinema history, up until this day I refuse to believe he was a mental patient instead a private detective
I actually knew that when I first saw the trailer.
The truth is they drugged him up and murdered him. He was sane all along. They are truly sick and evil individuals.
He WAS a mental patient. Read the book. In the book it is explained that he messed up his wifes medication while drunk, he gave her a double dose which made her even more crazy and that led to her killing the kids.

not exactly it was so awesome as a horror police movie untill the audience realised it was indeed a bad dream of him : D
How do you know that Teddy is crazy?
@Jonathan Birch That's the impression I got
Teddy wasn't insane. He was deeply traumatized by his insane wife's actions.
Its Dennis Lehane who is the brilliant one.
The film crew whenever they have to remind Leo he's just an actor.

Let’s be fair, we would all go insane if that happened to us
My mother is schizophrenic and this movie is really what it's like dealing with someone with that type of problem
This film doesn't depict schizophrenia. It depicts delusional disorder, which is a very different diagnosis with different symptoms and signs.

I think that everybody thinks that Teddy is fine in the first viewing. In the next viewings you see the truth. One of my Top Ten movies.
Him snapping the gun in half was actually our collective brains breaking in half 🤯
Idk how this was ever a plot twist when it was basically spoiled in the trailer
after all, these two were very kind and empathetic. they never gave up on Andrew.
Trauma does this to you. Exactly this. You forget memories so horrible you imagine them happening to someone else.

Women have more emotions than men. That is the reason why they understand. Maybe that is a dumb explanation, but this is my idea

Dont look up, blood diamond, body of lies, the 11th hour....
This film done my head in
It’s all over the place
Leo's acting as always on fleek🔥
Fleek? God forbid this random word becomes a thing
@@razorramoneljefe5956 a more detailed explanation is: top notch acting performance as expected
Jesus Christ . Fleek? Fucken internet ruined everythjng
@@Trollnation_ okay there “Troll Nation”
@@Trollnation_ Troll Nation on fleek
One heck of a mind fuck. Brilliant movie.
He didn’t believe a word until asked if he would deny his child too. Powerful.
Showed this movie to my buddy and the whole last 10 minutes his eyes were as wide as they would stretch.
What kind of doctors do this to their patients?!
The kind that has run out of options.
I bet most people go back and watch this movie again after the first viewing. It is a "two-view" movie to fill in the blanks and notice things you missed the first time. So sad but an amazing movie.
This film is a masterpiece. An incredibly sad and heartbreaking story. DiCaprio’s finest performance.
He played very good in the Great Gatsby too 👏
This plot twist blown me for idk how long. Brilliant scene.
I remember seeing this movie when it first came out and it tripped me the fk out and even to this day it still does
Possibly the best thriller movie ever made.
It's one of those movies that you have to watch a couple times to fully understand. One of the best movies of all time!
I remember watching it . Was he crazy or not ?? 🤔
@@rosee7256He was.
@@areyounatz so his the one who killed his family ?? Sorry for the questions , I haven’t watched it in a while & when I did I was so confused 🤔😂
Thank you so much for bleeping out the curse words. That was remarkably necessary
You could not have saved them is the most damning answer to unanswered question.😊
unfortunately, just like the sixth sense this movie gave away the ending way too early.
We're all adults here. Quit beeping out the 'bad words'.
This movie is phenomenal.
One of my favorite movies of all time, I don’t understand why it wasn’t more successful.
Y'all can't fool me I know Teddy is real I know. Once he gets to the mainland the lid is gonna blow off I watched it a second time just now and it gave me chills lol
Was half expecting Leonardo DiCaprio to turn into the Hulk.
That would be Mark Ruffalo
“I told you not to come in here. This would be the end of you.”
Amazing!
If you think this movie was better than inception, welcome to the club 🍷
Inception is massively overrated
Yess finally someone said it. Inception honestly bored me a bit
I was mind blown when this twist was introduced! My God! I remember I couldn't sleep!
It would’ve been an even bigger plot twist if it turned out they actually were lying and they just wanted him to think he was crazy
I still refuse this ending
Excellent movie, love the fact that the end still keeps you hanging
The truth hurts dosen't it Andrew. Oh sure maybe not as much as jumping on a bicycle with its seat missing but it hurts.
Ted Daniels and Chuck a.k.a Jack Dawson and Bruce Banner
This film blew the lid of writing. I walked out of that theatre even weeks later asking questions.
We are all on shutter island
Me trying to gaslight my buddies into thinking they’ve gone crazy.
I went to cinema without knowing nothing about this movie. Such a great experience.
This is one of those masterful movies that not many people have seen. It was my favorite Scorcese Dicaprio films. But only second to The Aviator.
Two of the best actors of modern times
Most of the folks who watched this initially thought it was a Chris Nolan Film...🙂
I hate this scene, they didn't need to spell it out so strongly, give the audience a bit of credit
Ive watched this a few times and I always believe he’s the detective
This movie has 2 plot twists.
One of it is insane.
One of the best acting displays in cinema hx. Better than many oscar winning movies, special recent ones
One of the greatest and most wtf twists of all time
This scene is just so sad... It's such a brilliant movie ....
That turned dark
Heartbreaking that some people's minds are tormented like this...
Whatever this is not fair.
This man was not even crazy but his wife in the first place .
She killed his children then after finding it out he killed her then now he has ended up in psychiatric.
Pfff
He was but it isint until the end he sees the truth and accepts it, he wants to kill the monster he is
Women.
@@tannerfishalow4894 I said in the first place he wasn't until he saw the killing of his children from his wife .
He wasn't crazy in the first place then one day he got insane for what his wife had done to his children.
This is why he is in hospital and he had totally forgotten about it until this episode .
@@Komyeta Jajajaja yes I believe it too
I don’t think you understand what crazy is. Leo’s character can’t see reality, and he constantly is reminded of the tragic nightmare when he killed his wife who also killed his three children. The point of this therapy was for him to break that cycle of torment and accept what happened.
