Has anyone thought that there could be a “Primal Fear” thing going on in Shutter Island. Leos’ character is portrayed as a violent person to begin with. Nobody else would have had the opportunity to question the “insane” wife. How do we know that Leo didn’t do it all, create a sense of insanity, and play the correctional system into not giving him a death penalty and instead be treated as a “patient” not a “prisoner”?!! When he realized he had convinced everyone he was “insane” he was ready to die being remembered as a “good guy” who went nuts rather than a homicidal maniac. Just a thought!! |

after watching the movie I had to think about that last scene for a minute before i understood it and i have to say it was definitly very unexpected. The movie itself was great. i was glued to the screen every second and even for a few after it ended. |
