"Closed Island" is based on the American novelist Dennis Lehan's novel of the same name. At the beginning of the Cold War, the cloud of World War II had just disappeared, but the crisis of nuclear war had enveloped the world. In 1954, Federal Police Officer Teddy and his partner Chuck took a boat to the Psychiatric Prison on the Confinement Island near Boston to investigate a missing case. The investigation of the case also stepped into a confusing and bizarre situation. In fact, the so-called federal police officer Teddy was a critically ill patient in this mentally ill prison. His attending physician John tried to let him gradually discover the absurdity of the story he made up by playing the role he had imagined. To cure his mental illness. Teddy’s true identity is Lydis. He walked into the battlefield as a soldier. After the war, he returned to his hometown to serve as a police officer, married and had children. The psychological shadow made it difficult for him to enter life completely and normally, so it was inevitable that he was indifferent to the care of his wife and children. For this reason, his wife took drugs for a long time, which gradually led to the outbreak of mental illness. One day, a mentally disordered wife drowned her three children in the lake in her homeland. When Ladis returned home to witness all this, she was very sad and ended her wife with a pistol in a state of extreme mental stress. Life and set fire to his house. The huge pain split Lattice’s personality, making him imagine another character and another story, so that he can accept these painful realities. The divided self is looking for another self, and he is struggling in the world he has created. To explore. The attending physician John also hopes that through this process of "character bringing in", he will get out of his fantasy time and space, accept reality, and return to normal. After seeing the movie, the editor thinks that the whole movie is the attending physician John helping Teddy build his fairy tale world. Although this fairy tale is not beautiful and full of blood, but in the end, Teddy said to the doctor: Doctor, you are for me Okay, isn't it? You are still helping me when the whole world abandons me. The doctor is kind. He does not give up any of his patients, and does not want to "quiet" the patients and become "dolls" through inhumane surgical methods. But I personally feel that doctors actually overlooked one thing, that is, why these patients get sick, which is what we call "crazy." Leading actor, Ladis, because he participated in World War II, left a shadow of wartime. His wife drowned his three children and killed his wife with his own hands. The pain in the world can be said to have already happened. After all, no matter how strong a person is, it is impossible to withstand such a big blow. Many people are wondering whether the actor has recovered in the end. In fact, he has completely recovered and remembered the past, but in the end, why did he "play stupid"? It is because he can't accept the cruel reality. He would rather undergo surgery to become a "doll" who knows nothing, using this extreme but helpless way to escape the pain of reality. We understand the doctor's good intentions, and we also understand Lattice's final helpless choice. Lattice has been living in the fairy tale world that he wove for himself for two years. In this world, he is the upright and brave judge, not the murderer who killed his wife. Lattice is a patient, so his doctors and nurses are accompanying him in acting, hoping that he can get out of his fictional world as soon as possible. But as Lattice, his choice, in fact, may be the best choice for him. From Lattice's own world, you can see how scared he is to see reality. His fairy tale world is very complete, everyone has his own role, and he directs and plays by himself and is very involved. If Lattice hadn't been trained to be aggressive, in fact, he could live in his own world, at least in this way he would no longer suffer.
