Although the ending is open-ended, and many people complain that they can't understand it, it's idiotic enough to complain that the movie is not good. The night I watched it, I searched for some movie reviews online, and found that the opinions of comrades are basically: Teddy is crazy, everything is what he imagined / Teddy is not crazy, everything is acting to make him crazy. In the next two days, I talked to a few friends who had seen it, and came up with a few ideas.
With the feeling of watching the movie and the plot, the online film critic friends began to talk about the movie. I was looking for a very literary article about the accident, but I found that there are still people on the Internet. The plot of the film is controversial. . What are they arguing about? Because some people think that the protagonist Ted in this movie is not mentally ill. They think the story is the one written as follows: a thriller full of intrigue, where Teddy explores every step of the way as a tough and persistent detective. The climax of the story occurs when the deep question is asked: When all rational analysis and evidence leads you to be insane, do you trust your own memory or the evidence of "reality"? What is memory? Should you rely on your own memory to judge evidence? Story 2: It is a story full of compassion and tenderness. The deep love for his wife and the cruel fact of killing his wife make Ted struggle hard in illusion and reality. The beauty of the second story lies in using carefully designed dreams to deeply analyze and express Ted's heart, and to interpret Freud's theory on defense mechanism, dream, hallucination, and trauma. Here I want to tell those friends who think it is the first story, maybe you have a little superficial understanding of the movie. Friends who think it is the first story, maybe you are those who simply like to watch movies, maybe you don’t know much about the history of movies, the cultures of various countries, and the movies contained in cultures. Friends who think it is the first story always think that their inferences are very strong, and they can only understand the movie if they are contrasted. Maybe you think that a good suspense movie can only be deduced by your "smart mind", then please read the following details. It is written for those who don't know the details who like to show the details to support the first story: The protagonist Ted is actually insane. His wife killed the child because of depression, and he killed his own wife. But he couldn't accept the fact that he had been immersed in his own illusory world. In order to make him accept the facts, all the doctors and nurses accompany him in a play, acting as the role of his imaginary world, this is for him to discover himself, accept the facts, and return to the real world. His companion was actually his attending physician. For the past 9 months, he has been repeatedly wandering between reality and fantasy. Every time after a good night, he returns to his imaginary world. Let's take a look at the plot again, I believe it can completely solve your doubts: 1. When the protagonist disembarked from the boat, the prison guards who greeted him were carefully guarded with guns and live ammunition, and the protagonist frowned in confusion—because the prison guards knew that this guy was a dangerous psychopath, his assistant was his attending physician, and the prison guards just wanted to cooperate. He treated him by pretending to be acting to greet him, but they were wary of him inside, so they looked at him with unfriendly eyes. 2. When the protagonist walked into the manor from the pier, many patients who were sweeping the floor and trimming the garden greeted him. The protagonist's eyes were very strange - because those people were his patients and had seen him many times, but the protagonist thought it was the first time. meet once. 3. When the protagonist was inquiring about the case, the staff were completely absent-minded, and a woman was filing her nails, and a doctor said that Teacher Rachel was still laughing when she complained about the food. Instead, Dean Cowley was seriously taking notes on Ted's condition. 4. When the protagonist is questioning the old lady, the old lady avoids his partner and writes "run away" in the book - the protagonist does not know that he is a patient on the island because he has been indulging in his own fantasies, but the bystander is clear, the old man. The wife knows that the protagonist's partner is his attending physician, so I hope the protagonist will take the opportunity to run away and stop playing cosplay. 5. Attention everyone, when the power system was paralyzed, it was Chuck's suggestion that the protagonist go to Ward C to visit. If Chuck also wants to frame him, then he shouldn't advise the protagonist to go to Ward C, because then the protagonist may know more about the Shutter Island. So the reason Chuck suggested the protagonist go was for him to meet George Noyce and help him rediscover himself. 6. The neurotic strong man who appeared in Ward C should be a policeman with good acting skills. Note that he deliberately led the protagonist to a place closer to George Noyce. 7. Dr. Cowley does not advocate lobotomy for the treatment of mental illness, but advocates that the treatment of mentally ill patients should be respected and let them discover their own problems, so after experiencing a series of events, the protagonist wakes up. When Dr. Cowley, the protagonist's partner and attending physician asked him questions, he wanted to know if the protagonist had woken up from his fantasy, and told him that nine months ago they had a breakthrough in their treatment - meaning the protagonist. His illness recurred, he woke up once nine months ago, but then returned to his fantasy, the doctors had to accompany the protagonist to play another detective game, and let the protagonist take another journey of self-discovery. 8. In the end, when the protagonist woke up the next morning, the protagonist was sitting on the stone steps and meditating. When his attending physician came over and handed him a cigarette, the protagonist said "Chuck" and the doctor was depressed. This is the attending physician pretending to be The name of his partner, the doctor realized that the protagonist had returned to his fantasy after a night, and all his efforts were in vain, so he had to shake his head helplessly to Dr. Cowley and the warden in the distance - Dr. Cowley, warden And the car behind them means, they knew yesterday that the protagonist was awake, it seems that Cowley's self-discovery therapy is working, and intend to take the protagonist off the island to meet the board members and show them that discovery therapy can also cure the mentally ill. The evidence, but when they shook their heads, they were also depressed, knowing that the evidence could not be shown, because the evidence returned to a mental state. 9. At this time, several staff members in white clothes came over, and the white cloth held by the camera close-up had metal objects such as awls, which meant that the protagonist had to undergo an excision operation because the self-discovery therapy failed. 10. In the background of the movie, the Shutter Island itself is a place set up by the authorities to detain mentally ill prisoners, and there is no need for the people on the Shutter Island to make a conspiracy against the so-called detective to make him lose his memory. This point can undoubtedly confirm that the protagonist Ted is indeed. mental illness. 11. In the middle of the movie, the protagonist Ted recalled his participation in World War II many times, and the terrifying scenes of the massacre in the concentration camps of World War II appeared in his mind from time to time. It is certain that the protagonist Ted had indeed participated in World War II before, and the shadow of World War II affected him. Deeply, this is inseparable from the cause of his amnesic psychosis. 12. The last sentence of the protagonist: "It is better to die like a good man than to live like a devil." The words of his attending physician tell us that the protagonist is actually completely awake this time. But I can't face the cruel reality of my wife killing three children and my beloved wife. Instead of being awake and being mentally tortured every day, it is better to perform surgery and forget the painful reality, so the protagonist pretends to return to In the fantasy, and then go to the surgery to destroy the corresponding nerve to forget the past. This is the explanation for the section in the cave that everyone discussed the most: the section in the cave is indeed a bit difficult to explain. But there are two points to explain: First, I think that Rachel in the cave was actually imagined by the protagonist, because after the protagonist broke up with Chuck, he began to have hallucinations. First, Chuck's body was under the cliff, When he went down, he did not find the body, followed by a large number of mice. In fact, this is also the hallucination of the protagonist. Afterwards, it was already night when we entered the cave, and a fire was also raised in the cave. It's a very short time, and at this point it's implied that this Rachel is also a fantasy character. (What's more, how does Rachel live in the cave? What does she rely on to live). Here is a detail: 1. Rachel did not wear shoes when the protagonist entered the cave, but Rachel put on shoes the next day. The second is: (this reason should be superficial, of course, what Rachel lives by) This Rachel is not imaginary. It was Rachel, the patient in the mental hospital (the Rachel in the hospital, played by a nurse), the real Rachel could not recover due to excessive schizophrenia, so according to the regulations of building the Shutter Island mental hospital, she had to undergo surgery. , Rachel was afraid that she had to flee, and the hospital was indeed looking for Rachel. At this time, the hospital was also treating the protagonist, and the hospital casually used this to help the protagonist in the treatment. There is also a detail here: the protagonist asks Rachel what happened to the lighthouse, and Rachel panicked, then said it was brain surgery, like some Nazis, and said they made ghosts or something. It is implied that he is actually a patient and is very afraid of surgery, so he made up the statement that the hospital is terrible. The story is actually quite simple: Ted is No. 67, in fact (Leonardo) plays (Ted Daniel), Bunsen was a patient on that island, and his real name was the arsonist he said was Andrew Ledis (of course he was a general marshal in World War II before he was crazy). Andrew, played by Leonardo DiCaprio, is devastated by all his guilt and mental breakdown after experiencing the carnage in the war. After returning home, because the social reconstruction after World War II was not so bright, and Ted and his family had a great influence, because Ted often flashed in his mind the terrible images of the concentration camps of World War II. Drink to relieve worries. What is even more unfortunate is that this living situation has seriously affected his relationship with his wife, so his wife has a mental problem of hating Ted, and finally can't stand the real life. His wife killed three children, and Andrew shot and killed wife, and set fire to the remains of his wife and children plus the house. As a result of this sadness, Ted was extremely depressed, and the symptoms of amnesic schizophrenia developed (of course, only sent to the confinement island). This film is to start the story around this split personality, revealing the truth of the matter step by step. The child was killed by his wife, and the wife was killed by him. The whole process is not the process of his going to prison, but the arrangement made by his attending physician (that is, his fake partner) and another attending physician, in order for him to recognize In reality, Cawley, the attending physician at the beginning, was actually a very kind person, and was very opposed to surgery and drug therapy to treat mental patients. The actor actually recovered once, and then relapsed. This treatment is his last chance. If he fails , he was going into the operating room for brain surgery.
