劇透終結者

************這篇影評可能有雷************

看片的樂趣在於不知所以然...

How anyone, no less 90% of the viewers of this film, could have reached the conclusion that Teddy was psychotic before he reached the island, is beyond me. As others have pointed out, the movie's anti-Nazi theme would be entirely undercut by a resolution that concluded it was all in Teddy's mind.

Thankfully, rather than having to waste my time writing a scene-by-scene essay that demonstrates this, I can simply point to a YouTube interview with the author Dennis Lehane where he clearly states that the work was a protest against the dangerous Patriot Act and how easy it was for Bush/Cheney to make the American people believe almost anything about someone identified as an "enemy of the state", just like during the McCarthy era in which the film is set...

The danger of Shutter Island was NOT all in Teddy's mind, and all you viewers who think it was are EXACTLY what the film warns against. Sheep. Who almost always believe exactly what the authorities tell you to believe.
