SO underrated. When people talk about great Leonardo DiCaprio performances no one ever mentions Shutter Island but they should. His emotion was impressive in this film.
I totally agree and think it's because the generally crowd who've seen this are too confused by the movie and just don't fuckin understand who is he playing and the emotion / how hard that is to showcase on screen. Basically I'm saying people are stupid
I like this one than Inception ... Inception overshadowed this one because of Nolan who directed the Batman series ... too bad only few people can appreciate this one more than inception ...
As a huge Nolan fan, i can agree that Shutter Island is a better movie than Inception. The thing is, Inception was Nolan's own idea, Shutter Island is based on a book.
Watching this movie it felt like i was Leonardo DiCaprio and i was thinking they where trying to brainwash me and then they kept coming up with convincing stories great movie.
@@Mapleheads Oh no. Actually everything in the film points out that it is exactly like the doctor in the lighthouse said and that @Dakota Walker is right, after this he didn't "jump back" to being Teddy but he doesn't want to life as who he is and what he did either so in the end it is Andrew who chooses to get the lobotomy.
Dude TOALLY VICE VERSA !! Martin scorceses brings out the best in dicaprio I love the guy but there is no denying that. Leo even says religiously that working with Martin has made him a WAY better actor he like pays respect to Martin every chance he can get. Even in his Oscar speech for the revenant he thanked Martin and for introducing him to the real ART of film lol
This was even more of a twist then I originally thought because the first time watching this movie, for some reason I kept having this recurring crazy idea that we were gonna learn that Leo was a patient on the island but then as the movie went on, I started doubting myself and thinking there has got to be something up with this island and the people on it and maybe Leo isn't the crazy one... So when this scene finally happened, I no longer knew who to believe at all. Around this time I was thinking that the plan was to convince Leo that he was a patient and make him believe it in order to actually make him lose his mind and end up committed on the island but it was almost the EXACT opposite of that. So for that reason, this is one of my favorite twists of all time even though I guessed it early. The movie was just good enough to make me completely doubt myself and by the time the actual twist came along and revealed me as correct, I didn't even believe myself or know what to think anymore.
+degree7 No, what's TRULY brilliant about the movie is the fact that people argue on whether or not he was insane. It's like the movie made the audience insane.
That's all Martin scorceses directing right there man he's amazing at making you see the point of view through the insane / troubled persons eyes aka leos in this movie. So you start to believe Leo
Yep, exactly what happened to me. Especially at the part where the doc tells him, "you have no partner, you came here ALONE". I though for sure they were trying to make Leo crazy. Then when he "shot" the doc, and he "saw blood", I knew Leo was crazy.
Read the novel. He was a patient. Mr. cowley is honest. They played along with his fantasies because they gave him four days to cure his violence or will be killed over an experimental table.
This movie is so underrated. The whole "the main character was crazy the whole time" thing has been overdone, but the way they did it in this movie was genuinely surprising, because in most cases nowadays, it's either telegraphed or pulled straight out of the writer's ass. In this movie, they make it totally plausible that there is some nefarious shit going on with the staff. even up until right before teddy "fires the gun", you could totally buy that they are just fucking with his head.
This film is amazing, yes, but stop throwing the word 'underrated' around so willy-nilly. Shutter Island is currently sitting at #158 on the IMDb top 250 chart, with over one-million ratings averaging out to a respectable 8.1/10-not to mention a nearly $300,000,000 box office. It's hardly underrated.
Yes this was unique. Everyone else was role-playing to his fantasy…most of it he chose to make up to deal with trauma. Rather than it just happening to him like Fight Club
Man I just wished I had seen this movie when it initially came out. Watching movies like this with an audience is a totally different experience as opposed to watching it at home. I like to listen to what people are saying as they leave the theater. With that twist at the end. Leonardo Dicaprio is a great dramatic actor.
Now I like watching comedies in a crowded theater. If it's really funny it makes the experience so much better. MY COUSIN VINNY. A LEAGUE OF THERE OWN. RUSH HOUR 3. ETC.
+greetrigh28 i'm the same...I love hearing gasps and reactions during the movie and when it's finished i try to walk close to people i don't even know to hear what they are saying about it, lol. Movie theaters are a magical place to me for that reason
Same I had this exact thought after watching the movie today! Wished I saw it the cinema with a audience. Just to feel the buzz and confusion would have been epic haha 😂 oh well better late than never!
I went to the cinema to this and the entire audience gasped when he shot that gun. They all clapped at the end of the film as well....there was only about 50 people watching! One of the best films I've ever seen.
When the doc shows him the photos of his children, that's actually when you realize that he's telling the truth. Some people still think they brainwashed him into believing all of this stuff and that he in fact is Teddy Daniels and not Andrew Laeddis. If he really was Teddy Daniels - who doesn't have any children - how come they have a photo of a girl he clearly dreams about? How would they have been able to put that picture inside his head in just one or two days of being on the island without showing any evidence in the movie of them even trying to do so.
I think that what seals the deal that DiCaprio is living in a fantasy is when Kingsley references his daughter, whom he dreams about. He only would have known this if he had previously revealed this to him, as he did not do during his "investigation" on the island.
@@shkafity6418 Not "proof" in the literal sense. But with the flashback of his wife, the lake, the kids and all the little clues all over the movie it becomes pretty clear that his name is Andrew, that little girl is/was his daughter and every single word they tell him in the lighthouse is the truth.
0:45 He saw blood gushing out and next moment, there was no blood. I had to watch this movie twice in a row to get all the subtle hints that it was Leo who had been the patient all along. One of the brilliant movies ever made.
Ben Kingsley did an incredible performance along with Leo. You think he’s done kind of sketchy doctor, possibly torturing people. But he was actually trying to help someone not torture themselves. 👏👏
They should have showed him his kids straight away if they knew he had constant dreams about his daughter. Even as Teddy Daniels he recognized her in the photo
Simon B They said that they only broke through once before though, and he still relapsed. I think they were trying to go through every detail so he would see all the holes in his story. It’s like everything individual thing he says can’t be disproven to him but in context the big picture falls apart.
I thing at this point they didn't try it because he would have remembered but relapsed again. Andrew is obviously not brain damaged it is not that he CAN'T remember it is more that he doesn't WANT that all to be real. I think he didn't pull out those photos at this moment as a part of the "play", I think that was kind of an emergency plan because Andrew snapped and as a former marshal he doesn't need a gun or a weapon at all to be dangerous as hell to these two doctors. The "game" was about to go south, so he pulled out the pictures to cut it short/snap Andrew out of the delusion before someone got really hurt.
If you look at Mark Ruffalo's face at 0:48, he's not looking directly into the camera, which is DiCaprio's eyes, but probably behind him and nods "no". Because this film has a few hidden clues, I like to think that some guards came running to the lighthouse to help but Mark wanted to tell them not to interfere without Leo noticing.
lol are u drunk or something, the camera isnt positioned at eye height but at torso height. they're looking into his eyes and you can see his back in between the next scenes
I must admit - I really liked Andrew/Edward and identified myself with him, so while watching this scene, I refused, nearly to the end, to believe that he is insane. I was still convinced that they are trying to brainwash him and kept wishing he won't let himself be fooled. But... when I saw this - 0:45 - I finally realized that he is really crazy.
You could make someone see that by giving them strong psychedelic drugs and gaslighting/brainwashing them subtly overtime, ESPECIALLY if you are seen as a person if authority, which every doctor (or person wearing doctors' clothes) are automatically seen as.
I remember seeing so many advertisements for this film, especially of that decrepit woman signaling to be quiet, but after that no one ever talked about it. In my opinion, it's the best psychological thrillers of the 2010's.
I have got to say the book this movie is based on is WAY better. the movie does just one thing - make it more dramatic and show how unwilling Teddy is to accept his true identity. ..and YES, DiCaprio's acting IS amazing. but people, I think we should focus more on the PLOT OF THE MOVIE! give credit to the director AND the author who wrote the book the movie is based on.
I think the movie is better because it's more ambiguous. In the book, it is very clear by the end that Teddy IS crazy/a patient. The move leaves the ending much more open ended. In fact, the way the end by showing the lighthouse makes you think it may actually have been a set up to prevent him from exposing the experiments.
Whilst acting out the Teddy Daniels sequence, he hasn't had the medicine he'd normally have as a patient (andrew laeddis) so the withdrawal symptoms of not having the medication is making him hallucinate, just like the woman he "thought" he saw in the cave that he said was the real rachel solondo
When teddy(actually andrew laeddis) fire the gun toward the doctor first i thought “oh my god that's violent for my kids to watching this movie" and when i knew it's only toy gun i'm just like“Phewww..." my son looked at me and said “daddy why he shoot that bald guy?".
@@AdaWongFanofc some kids can handle stuff like this. I watched horror films when I was little lol. Not like this movie is going to destroy their kids lives
No kidding. Whenever people see a good movie nowadays they gotta say it's underrated-of course, not taking into account the fact that the film achieved nearly $300,000,000 at the box office, and is currently sitting at #158 on the IMDb top 250 list with an average rating of 8.1/10. As far as film goes, the word 'underrated' has lost all meaning.
@@Trevor-j8i Agreed, that and "this movie is a mastepece". Sure some of them are but can't it just be a merely great film. Not everything has to be the best ever
It made me uncomfortable that the Academy Awards neglected Shutter Island, instead praising DiCaprio's acting in The Revenant.. Shutter Island deserved some credit.
Clyde Romeo So there is no neurosurgery conspiracy theories.. But in the end they take him for lobotomy.. So he was right.. They perform neurosurgery.. I'm confused.. Please explain
What I just don't get is why he ended up on the island. He killed his wife out of grief or out of revenge for killing their children. If he was found guilty, he should've ended up in a prison, not a mental hospital.
Is it just me, or is it when you see one twist, you've seen them all? I mean, not that i'm saying that it isn't a good twist but certain stories that have twists. They have this, distinct style, and it gives you this "blind like" feeling. You know something isn't right, especially considering one of the main themes of the movie was "sanity/insanity". Like I dunno, it's something about stories with great twists, it's like they never get you like the first twist did. Imagine watching this movie, and you've never read or watched any story with any twist whatsoever. It would've been allot more impact wouldn't it?
SJMJ91 l So there is no neurosurgery conspiracy theories.. But in the end they take him for lobotomy.. So he was right.. They perform neurosurgery.. I'm confused.. Please explain
The kids names from the book was Edward, Daniel and Rachel. I was a bit upset that they changed the boy's names for some reason. Don't even know why. I gues it was cause I'm such a big an of the book
when this debuted i enjoyed it but after watching it 6 or 7 more times its a mindfuck. this scene is the nail. it can "go either way". If looked at from start to end he can be Teddy or Andrew it's not confirmatory
well actually it cured some insane mental people after they've watched this. and what he meant was that he'd rather died as the Marshall than to live with the "label" that they're going to place on him, this also refers to the rest of them as being monsters and he was the only good one that died. because remember what the lady in the cave said, once they labeled you as that was it, no one else will believe you were or otherwise. wonder what ever happened to that lady, maybe she's living her good old monster life untill the day she dies, preferably remaining her monster hide still.
He was hallucinating there. At the end of the movie, he is cured and knows he's a patient on the island. He asks if it's better to live as a monster, meaning stay how he is: cured, but must live with the knowledge and grief of what he did. Or, to die as a good man, by being lobotomized and essentially turning into a zombie without any knowledge or care for what he did.
+TheControlStick1 yeah that what everybody keep saying but that's just one side of the story doesn't mean it's the right one. you ever heard of the what if scenarios or what turned out to be the truth after all. I mean if it could've happened to at least 1 person that would be enough to blow off the lids. just saying.
Secret Agent Michael Lee lia exlemus So there is no neurosurgery conspiracy theories.. But in the end they take him for lobotomy.. So he was right.. They perform neurosurgery.. I'm confused.. Please explain
mehu112 lia exlemus So there is no neurosurgery conspiracy theories.. But in the end they take him for lobotomy.. So he was right.. They perform neurosurgery.. I'm confused.. Please explain
If you mean if he was crazy then yes he was crazy. They took him for lobotomy because he was dangerous to other patients. He was the most dangerous patient in that institution. They were trying to bring him back to sanity but that failed. So they had to perform lobotomy because nothing else helped. For example from 1940 until 1950 20 thousand lobotomies where performed in USA alone so it was a thing at that time.
I have to admit, while alot of people here in the comments seem to "know" that he was crazy at this point, I did not know who to believe. I genuinly was 50% sure he was crazy and 50% that he was being drugged and gaslighted into believing he was wrong. That's what makes this one of my favorite movies of all time.
the ones who think that everything is so cut and dry are being treated the same way his character is being treated. There are two aspects to the film. There is no definitive answer.
SO underrated. When people talk about great Leonardo DiCaprio performances no one ever mentions Shutter Island but they should. His emotion was impressive in this film.
Yeah they mention the piece of shit movie Titanic is.

This movie got overshadowed due to "Inception" but this is one of Leo's best films.
I like this one than Inception ... Inception overshadowed this one because of Nolan who directed the Batman series ... too bad only few people can appreciate this one more than inception ...

Both are good - this is a better "pure" movie, in the old-fashioned sense. Inception was really innovative though.
Dominant Seth true

I think that last question "are you gonna deny that she ever lived" brought Andrew back to reality permanently.
Dakota Walker
Nice trick by Ben Kingsley wasn’t it.
Might not have worked if he showed picture of his “wife”

Leonardo Dicaprio brings out the best in Martin Scorsese and vice versa. I hope they make 50 more films together.

i know same, but of course I trusted the doctors when we see that his wife did kill their kids

Absolutely heartbreaking
I have got to say the book this movie is based on is WAY better.
the movie does just one thing - make it more dramatic and show how unwilling Teddy is to accept his true identity.
..and YES, DiCaprio's acting IS amazing. but people, I think we should focus more on the PLOT OF THE MOVIE!
give credit to the director AND the author who wrote the book the movie is based on.
+Daniel Watson I haven't read the book yet but I definitely would like too once I get my hands on a copy.
Well you gotta admit regardless of his acting, this movie is fantastic and this is one of the best plot twists in film history
I do credit the author for a great plot....but you’ve argued the book is better than the film and not given a good reason why.
I think the movie is better because it's more ambiguous. In the book, it is very clear by the end that Teddy IS crazy/a patient. The move leaves the ending much more open ended.

Leo should have at least got nominated for this. He is so good in this.
It's not functional, it only fires in his mind.

A masterpiece of a film.
The way this movie conveys insanity is fantastically accurate!
This scene is incredible!
0:26 MY NAME, IS JACK DAWSON!
Gut wrenching scene and yet in some way i sympathize with him!
That's gotta be the biggest plot twist I have ever seen in a movie!
When he pushed that bald guy mark tells leo about the plan and after that they talk in the last scence
Wow! Leo sells it so well in this scene!
So captivating, great movie should have won an Oscar!
I know this is a serious matter and all, but come on, "All you tell is lie!"? it's "All you (do)* is lie."Truth must be spoken
the ending is sad. they truly tried to help him... but he was just too far gone.
One of the best films ever!!
This is how a bunch of men conspire against a man success.. Jealousy and Envy will loose this world..
great acting skills
When teddy(actually andrew laeddis) fire the gun toward the doctor first i thought “oh my god that's violent for my kids to watching this movie" and when i knew it's only toy gun i'm just like“Phewww..." my son looked at me and said “daddy why he shoot that bald guy?".
You let your kids watch this movie? What the hell.
@@AdaWongFanofc some kids can handle stuff like this. I watched horror films when I was little lol. Not like this movie is going to destroy their kids lives
That's a common mistake.
@@AdaWongFanofc I was watching horror slashers at the age of 7 I think the kid will be alright
I NEVER LIVED UNTILL WATCHED THIS MOVIE!
What’s crazy is the therapy worked for him in the end. And he still chose to stay so he didn’t have to live the last. Un. Real.
I freaking love this movie!!!!
Such an underrated movie
Great acting.
superbe dicaprio

Mandatory “this movie is so underrated“ comment
No kidding. Whenever people see a good movie nowadays they gotta say it's underrated-of course, not taking into account the fact that the film achieved nearly $300,000,000 at the box office, and is currently sitting at #158 on the IMDb top 250 list with an average rating of 8.1/10. As far as film goes, the word 'underrated' has lost all meaning.
@@Trevor-j8i Agreed, that and "this movie is a mastepece". Sure some of them are but can't it just be a merely great film. Not everything has to be the best ever
The fact that Leo didn’t get an Oscar for this is mind boggling
It made me uncomfortable that the Academy Awards neglected Shutter Island,
instead praising DiCaprio's acting in The Revenant..
Shutter Island deserved some credit.
I know it's a pattern but I want to take a lint roller to that jacket
More silent hill than the Silent hill movie could be lmao
I really really love this movie!!! I just can't stop thinking about this movie!!!!
Clyde Romeo So there is no neurosurgery conspiracy theories.. But in the end they take him for lobotomy.. So he was right.. They perform neurosurgery.. I'm confused.. Please explain
This MOVIE is EXCEPTIONAL
What I just don't get is why he ended up on the island. He killed his wife out of grief or out of revenge for killing their children. If he was found guilty, he should've ended up in a prison, not a mental hospital.
Is it just me, or is it when you see one twist, you've seen them all? I mean, not that i'm saying that it isn't a good twist but certain stories that have twists. They have this, distinct style, and it gives you this "blind like" feeling. You know something isn't right, especially considering one of the main themes of the movie was "sanity/insanity". Like I dunno, it's something about stories with great twists, it's like they never get you like the first twist did. Imagine watching this movie, and you've never read or watched any story with any twist whatsoever. It would've been allot more impact wouldn't it?
Coincidence that Dr Cawley tries to persuade Teddy that his real name is Andrew Laeddis because Ben Kingsley's birth name is Krishna Bhanji.

The kids names from the book was Edward, Daniel and Rachel. I was a bit upset that they changed the boy's names for some reason. Don't even know why. I gues it was cause I'm such a big an of the book
Super actor
when this debuted i enjoyed it but after watching it 6 or 7 more times its a mindfuck. this scene is the nail. it can "go either way". If looked at from start to end he can be Teddy or Andrew it's not confirmatory
Was leo even nominated for this movie?
Not a fan of him...but in this movie....he Is amazing
A shocking twist.
WHY were the children's names changed??? It was significant to the character's psychosis! Changing their names from the book was uncalled for! 😤
Love Rick Dalton movies.
well actually it cured some insane mental people after they've watched this. and what he meant was that he'd rather died as the Marshall than to live with the "label" that they're going to place on him, this also refers to the rest of them as being monsters and he was the only good one that died. because remember what the lady in the cave said, once they labeled you as that was it, no one else will believe you were or otherwise. wonder what ever happened to that lady, maybe she's living her good old monster life untill the day she dies, preferably remaining her monster hide still.
He was hallucinating there. At the end of the movie, he is cured and knows he's a patient on the island. He asks if it's better to live as a monster, meaning stay how he is: cured, but must live with the knowledge and grief of what he did. Or, to die as a good man, by being lobotomized and essentially turning into a zombie without any knowledge or care for what he did.
+TheControlStick1 yeah that what everybody keep saying but that's just one side of the story doesn't mean it's the right one. you ever heard of the what if scenarios or what turned out to be the truth after all. I mean if it could've happened to at least 1 person that would be enough to blow off the lids. just saying.
Best movie ever !
Art.
this how jack is ressurected from the titanic million of years ago now he wants rose badly
fantastic acting. it's a shame di caprio never got an oscar
I prefer the squirt gun version in the book.
+Travis Heinze that would have been shit.
This is like a prequel to Inception!
Secret Agent Michael Lee lia exlemus So there is no neurosurgery conspiracy theories.. But in the end they take him for lobotomy.. So he was right.. They perform neurosurgery.. I'm confused.. Please explain
@@daisyday9663 They perform it because of his insanity- and deep Down he knew it- but created a plot in his mind why it was going to happen.
ALL YOUVE DONE IS LIEEEE!!!!!!😂😂😂😂😂
where is the oscar for this
mehu112 lia exlemus So there is no neurosurgery conspiracy theories.. But in the end they take him for lobotomy.. So he was right.. They perform neurosurgery.. I'm confused.. Please explain
If you mean if he was crazy then yes he was crazy. They took him for lobotomy because he was dangerous to other patients. He was the most dangerous patient in that institution. They were trying to bring him back to sanity but that failed. So they had to perform lobotomy because nothing else helped. For example from 1940 until 1950 20 thousand lobotomies where performed in USA alone so it was a thing at that time.
This movie makes me ask the question. How powerful is the brain?
I have to admit, while alot of people here in the comments seem to "know" that he was crazy at this point, I did not know who to believe. I genuinly was 50% sure he was crazy and 50% that he was being drugged and gaslighted into believing he was wrong. That's what makes this one of my favorite movies of all time.
the ones who think that everything is so cut and dry are being treated the same way his character is being treated. There are two aspects to the film. There is no definitive answer.
@@daboy380 yeah except Leo, Scorsese and even the writer of the book the movie is based on confirmed that Andrew was crazy.
Sad movie. 😥
