- SHUTTER ISLAND (2010) is an absolutely beautiful psychological thriller directed by the legendary Martin Scorsese and stars Leonardo DiCaprio, Mark Ruffalo, and Sir Ben Kingsley. The film has a truly mind-boggling plot that leads to a huge plot twist that I never saw coming. Lead by a truly great performance from Leonardo DiCaprio, SHUTTER ISLAND is full of creepy and beautiful imagery and is one of my favorite films of all time.

I think the twist is real...
But there's a DOUBLE twist... I believe Teddy/Andrew is healthy by the end of the movie but he decides to forget and FAKES still being in his fantasy so he can simply just erase his past and finally "die"
That... is what horrormine said in the video, i think. That he would rather die as teddy than live as andrew
Ya I think the ending tells you that for that moment he’s realized what he had done and makes the conscious decision to pretend the treatment hasn’t worked in order to not have to live w/ the guilt.
yes this isn't a theory, it's literally the plot of the movie...
He wants what his wife wanted. For it to end.

After watching shutter island i think i gonna be 68th patient of it.
Hahahaaa
🤣🤣 I was gonna say I'm not stable to watch this movie lol
🤣🤣🤣
Bruh m after you
😂😂😂😂
Leo’s acting has always been so freaking good. I’m happy he finally got an Oscar because he’s been doing amazing work for so long, he really deserves it.
I know me too! He absolutely deserved it. I pretty much love everything he's in.
since 1999, I stopped watching Oscar. With 1998 winners, it is so obvious that it’s full of BS
Leo’s performance in Departed scared me (I’m scared with his characters situation…amazing).
This is his best work
As an actor he is simply amazing. As far as a person he's just another woke far left propaganda pushing piece of shit.
Book ends with Teddy actually relapsing,not just pretending to be insane,but actually going back to insanity,unfortunately as it always is in real world…but in the movie they added that Monster/good man part that makes him look sane..either way a Genius movie imo
That added line just makes the whole story even sadder.
after watching this movie for the first time like 10 minutes ago i am in complete and utter shock. i don’t know if it’s because i’m younger or i just don’t understand. but that movie set me off. i never ever saw that twist coming and when it finally did i questioned my whole life.
I'm older and it but me between the eyes. It's mind blowing!
1. I'm so glad I found your channel(I've been binging all week and learning about South Eastern Horror) and 2. I'm glad that like me you love this movie. It's been one of my favorites for years and I adore when people talk about it.
A film with a similar feel to Shutter Island, in my opinion, is A Cure for Wellness. I recommend seeing that one a couple times, too.
An absolutely awesome and crystal clear recap! Thank you
Just watched the film for the third time and I would have to agree with your analysis. Truly a great movie and this is the best breakdown of the film on CZcams. Nicely done!!
I read the novel version first- the twist caught me unaware and I had to re-read that entire section in disbelief! Definitely blew my mind.
Just discovered your channel. My goodness it is definitely a hidden gem on CZcams. You're clearly passionate about what you're doing, so please keep it up! You deserve wayyyyyyyyyyy more subs for the amount of effort and detail you put into your vids. Amazing channel. Amazing review.
Thank you so much for the kind words! I truly appreciate it and I’m very glad you’re enjoying the content 😃
Why would u make another account and comment
Amazing video , very well explained, keep up the fantastic content !!
Something with Sir Ben Kingsley likes playing people running asylums. He did it in Stonehearst Asylum so must be a running theme with this guy. I could totally make out he was some sort of lunatic just by looking at him and everything that he was seeing. It seems to be the old gag, the one you feel and see the most is the most insane and made everything up. Makes you question your own insanity. Great review dude 👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻
Thank you! You’re right! Everything was told through his perspective but you could see the clues that something wasn’t right.
Keep up the good work man, you have quickly become one of my favorite horror Explained/Recap channel
Thank you! I really appreciate it
Once he was casually the white outfits that were pretty uniform throughout the facility I started figuring that he was actually a patient. Idk if that’s later than most ppl, but it just seemed weird to me the rooms they had him sleep him and clothes they had him wearing if he was an actual US Marshall
I thought it was very strange and also how his “partner “ kept looking at him BUT never figured it out until end. I thought he was a Marshall still that was gonna take this joint down lmao. Great movie
Bro amazing vid your so underrated
Thank you so much!
After Andrew said Chuck in the final scene, I said oh no, sadly realizing his fate.
Wdym
@@Endercreed He's finally sane, but pretending not to, and he willing to be lobotomies
Fantastic breakdown of this movie , , read the book as well , , freaked me out when I saw the film back in 2010 having heard nothing about the plot from anybody in advance , , , This is a Spielberg masterpiece , make no mistake , , loved it
Thank you very much!
From the comments; it sounds like the book was better. In the book, Leo ends up relapsing and repeating the cycle all over again(this is more common)
In the movie he was cured, but decided he preferred to die
@@leonardomichua the movie ending sounds better
I was looking for that explanation!
Glad I could help!
The problem is I feel like Chuck would have intervened. He knows Leo is "healthy" again. The idea that Leo would rather escape reality than deal with it is understandable..but this was an incredibly elaborate experiment..and it actually worked.
How would Chuck prove it? Leo would just fake it again
@@andreingramakadjscrewrip7372 Well they would believe Chuck. They all put so much effort into the experiment, including Chuck. Knowing they were successful would show them that they can do it again with other patients. Leo would almost certainly play dumb and they would have to sort out how to handle him. They wouldn't give him a lobotomy like he wanted. I'd imagine he'd either eventually accept his mistakes OR end up committing suicide.
@@brandon.lewis. Unfortunately, the staff at the island were at their breaking point. I might be wrong, but at the lighthouse it was stated that the role play we see was their final attempt to cure Leo because of their repeated failures in the past. There weren't going to tolerate any more do-overs
I always thought the same thing. They devoted so much time and resources into their experimental treatment. Any sign of a breakthrough wouldn’t just be ignored imo. Even if Teddy was pretending the results didn’t stick like the last few breakthroughs they thought they made. His case would’ve been a groundbreaking discovery in treating mental illness. Teddy ruined it for all the future ppl who could’ve been cured using this method instead of having to be lobotomized 🤷🏾♂️
@@tjanderson5892 1000% agree. This is a good example of having to say "it's just a movie". It's nonsensical to think the guy (I'm forgetting his name) wouldn't immediately tell the other doctors that Teddy was faking it. The ending we are given implies they'll probably abandon this technique and call it failure..even though the guy is well aware Teddy was faking it..Huh?
The more you think about it, the less sense it makes. For dramatic movie purposes, though, they went the route of let's throw in a last minute 'twist' then cut to the credits before the audience starts going🤔🤔 It's the easy, lazy way out but weirdly it's also THE moment the audience will remember most.
Breakdown the platform!! Or fractured. Both of those would be awesome to hear your take on
Good breakdown 👍👍
Thank you!
I personally saw it coming, maybe it's because of me being in therapy but the verbal ticks of the psychiatrists tipped me off.
I found it weird why everyone was so against giving him the basic info he wanted to know and making him angry because of it. I didn’t pick that up like you did, but at the end of the film it made sense why they didn’t give him the info he requested
When the nurse told Ted that DR Sheehan led the discussion , the reaction by chuck explains that it was all just a act...
Thank you for breaking down movie. Got
Confused on several parts while watching movie. You did an excellent job of making sense of a complicated thriller
movie.
The movie was confusing til close to the end I found it to be an excellent movie. I enjoyed it very much but, haven't seen it in ages.
I always thought that at the end when he said, "We gotta get off this rock Chuck" that he did it on purpose so he would get lobotomised so he didn't have to live with what he and his wife did.
Teddy was a victim being bombarded with suggestive ideas, while influenced by the cigarettes laced with hallucinogens. He knew what was really happening at Shutter Island, and he lost his soul for it. Anyone who thinks Teddy was insane and the most dangerous patient on Shutter Island really need to think deeper.
the lady in the cave gives him new information that he acts on.how could that be made up.thank god other sane people exist and cant be gaslit so easy
@@cornballmcgoo7174 I have to admit Dr. Cawley was very persuasive at first.. but he is such a brilliant actor ^
Its Dr Naering's attitude towards Teddy that gave it away for me. That scene with the syringe speaks volumes.
Love this movie! Been meaning to give it a rewatch
I found I appreciated it a lot more the second time around! Btw I like the new name!
@@HorrorMine thanks! I’m trying to do a bit of rebranding
Awesome. What do you have in mind?
@@HorrorMine add a bit of a persona to my vids, something constant, just gotta find the right voice and keep the same style of jokes and dialog so it flows better, not sure if my personality is enough to get dem views ha
I hope you find your voice and a style you enjoy my friend! I will be there to support you
If y’all liked this watch Stonehearst Asylum and Serenity (with Anne Hawaway)
Very good, excellent acting by Decrapio. But, the movie is very sad.thank you
This really was a great movie. I was totally shocked by the ending too.
Could never forget the intro music when they enter the island..
It’s simply iconic and haunting!

I just watched the film for the first time yesterday, unfortunately the stupid netflix description was too obvious about the plot twist but I still enjoyed the film.
My favorite
If this was all fake, he never explained how they got him on the boat and not realizing that he was just put on the boat coming into the asylum. Does he have no recollection of his previous day
If you notice, there are chains on the boat. If they were Marshalls taking the ferry from the inland, it would’ve been a regular boat and not a inmate/ patient transport like it’s hinted at. But I do see your point there.
@@HorrorMine Is he that much outta reality? Like its his delusion completely erase his memory clear. Its weird, how the movie starts, it's almost like he is literally is not thinking about anything else but the lie he is trying to pass off..
I think it’s possible that they did something to him right before the experiment started. And also he was that delusional. He couldn’t stand the idea of being Andrew Laeddis even though he knew deep down that’s who he was.
@@HorrorMine maybe there wasn't any other boats. It's not ordinary island.
@@TheAbbot92 I wonder that too. All it said was that he forgets and remembers
I wonder if he forgets everything or if he only forgets things during periods of times and remembers them later on
One of the greatest mind f' movies out
“B*llshit. I’m not going to let you tell me I’m crazy…..Then why the f*ck am I shaking huh? You drugged me didn’t you?” -Leo
“You’ve done this before and no, the shaking is a withdrawal”- doctor
😂😂😂
There was actually another ending/theory someone came up with. It was that he was actually who he said he was and that they all made him turn crazy in order to continue doing their experiments on people
Blood in blood out was a great movie that you could do
Intense
i wanna know what exactly did dr. cawley said to dr. nehring and the warden at the end of the film. i tried to read his lips but unfortunately english isn't my native language.
He said, “the experiment didn’t work. He’s back on his delusional fantasy. Go ahead with the lobotomy”
The more I watch this the more I think Rachel is his subconscious trying to tell him what's going on.
Love this Amarth. Cave-lady Rachel rules!
Notice his smoke is going back into the cigarette.
Is that how the crazy people smoke them? And the crazier you are, the faster it goes back?
Good novel retweaked with some quality actors and a little hwood gloss. Was the alleged missing woman who DiCaprio eventually found in cave a overnight fantasy ? The fire was not a fantasy and kept DiCaprio warm in the cold cave ,so sending him off to sleep . Then early in the morning you see a lady in skirt and shoes quietly leaving , why bother as if it's only in his head , we didn't need to see this bit . Shame the film had to be so mentally patchwork . Still gripped me all the same.
This movie made me feel crazy
me too, I love this movie for that.
@@lilliehaylett2199 same here do you have any recommendations
Watch a cure for wellness too!
@@shntib9491 it’s good ?
what’s the point in him seeing a flashback in ww2 of the almost dead german officer reaching for his gun?
I think his wife killed her children out of rage as her husband Andrew Laeddis used to drink a lot and get toxicated with addiction as he killed many innocents in Germany as US marshal
Ptsd
Can I have a full movie link pls
This is on Netflix still I believe.
@@HorrorMine they took it off😫😫. I tried to find it today
@@faythshorter5514 its back just saw it
Good movie
You needed a scorecard to keep all of these names together to make sense of the surprise ending. I think I fell asleep watching this when it was in the theater. It was hard to follow.
Yeah, I'd like to know one person in the history of time who has actually made an anagram out of his own name just so that he could use it to become somebody else later on in life. What a crock!
Lobotomizing a grief-stricken man who acted irrationally due to extreme mental & emotional trauma? Wow.
He wasn't getting better. He was violent and dangerous. He hurt inmates, guards, and orderlys. The movie was a roleplay to get him to the truth of what happened and who he was, because the alternative was the lobotomy. He chose the lobotomy though because he didn't want to live with the grief and reality of his situation.
One of the better novels based on selfish love and death
See, I don’t like movies like this that kinda make you feel like you’re just lost. Like, you just don’t know what was real and what wasn’t.
Isn’t clear cut like Sixth Sense, etc.
I didn't understand anything both when i saw this mv and explained version 😑💔
Leo never trusted the Psychiatrist who was his partner in his fantasy world
It’s too long to explain, but basically it was a mixture of fantasy and reality
Y'all in the comments can't read it litterally says "Movie Recap" lmfao
Wat the hell?! 😲That's not an old lady😨🙊
omg
had to watch on 1.25 speed....
I realized an important part. During his delusions and he was a detective on a mission, he said, “your guards are all on edge. They’re all a bit hostile aren’t they?”
Then once we finished the movie we realized it was because it wasn’t the first time he went berserk and they were mad at him for the previous incident
Or was he crazy or tricked him to believe he was in the End
I saw that Shutter Island mixed around is truth and lies 🤯
Well, it’s fantasy and reality being mixed together
@@leonardomichua no the letters mixed around spell truth and lies
Did you also notice that it's an anagram for "Ted Hunts Liars"? Coincidence? I think not!
I appreciate this movie but for some reason I have never liked the way it was done. I don't like the red herring executions, I don't know what it is about this one I just am like meh about. Have you seen Identity? That's an excellent and criminally underrated movie!!!
Ashworth Liverpool UK is also a home for the mentally criminally insane 😮
Why is it close to your heart?
I first saw Shutter Island as a teenager and even though I didn’t fully understand it, it really resonated with me emotionally. Everything to the visuals, musical score, and emotional story really hooked me as I hadn’t experienced anything quite like it before and it became an instant favorite of mine :) I still listen to the soundtrack often to this day!
Im a little late but i DON'T think he's insane.
1. The doctor said there're 66 patients. But if Teddy was Andrew and Rachel didn't exist. Then there had to be 65 patients. Then who's the numer 67 ?
2. The doctor asked Teddy :"why you're wet, baby?" That's the same thing Teddy asked his wife when he dreamed of her. Which mean they know all about Teddy's vision. Teddy also dreamed of her being burnt. Why did the doctor know about the vision of her being wet but not the vision she got burnt? Maybe because "burnt wife" is Teddy actual dream and "wet wife" is just the doctor's doing some mind control shit on Teddy head.
3. What about all of the other details? The patient number 67 note, the part where Teddy emphasied his wife dead because of gas poision not the fire,... Don't tell me all of that are just added in the movie just for fun. It must have meaned something.
4. He has 3 kids but why only the daughter got more attention. And didn't that girl kinda look like the little girl in the war. . That's the only kid's face Teddy kept thinking about. So the doctor took the image of that girl turn into his daughter.
5. The famous scene where the woman patient drinking water. Aside from the fact that the water disapeared. She also told Teddy she's got in here because she killed her husband with an axe. But because he violently abused her. And for me he totally deserved to die like that. So therefore we can say that she's not insane. A sane person told you to "RUN"? Maybe she knew Teddy is a victim.
I don't know guys. Either way, I watched this movie again after 2 years and It still fuck my brain up.
1.the 67 patient was referring to Andrew not the real Andrew but the one in the fantasy and Racheal was just playing a role in the fantasy
2.the reason the doctor knows is BC they attempted these same experiment's before hand and he also said "why your wet baby" when it really happened and the burnt wife dreams proves that he's becoming sane
3. "The law of 4" is just explaining the anagram of his name (Andrew) and his wife, in the dream He says it's smoke BC he has a fear of fire and water, as in the movie fire and water has a big role in this movie
4. The girl in the war is her daughter but in reality it's not, well it's his only daughter so I guess it she would have more attention I could be wrong
5.she is insane,,, She said run BC she was playing a role in the fantasy that Andrew was making up (Andrew being teddy) and the reason the water disappeared was BC we was seeing thought Andrews perspective which he he's scared or brings back memories of reality and at the end of the movie he is sane the famous line "Would you rather live as a monster or die as a hero?", When psychotic he is not living his true life, he is figuratively dead. Therefore 'to live as a monster' means, when he is mentally well (alive and aware), he understands what he has done.
Sorry for the late reply hope it clears things up for u :)
why is there still not one correct analysis of this movie!!! so many key parts left out
Maybe you can make it
@@HorrorMine if you want something done right hey
@@abstractproductionz5734 awesome, ill be waiting on your video of the correct analysis then
@@HorrorMine well you might be waiting a while ... but for starters the movie starts out with the main character having a scar on his eye , basically everything that Rachel said was true . They weren’t looking for her because they thought she was dead like she told you . She also made it clear that every other person on the island was there as part of the experiment being done and it’s obvious because the director made a point of having her wake him up ! The Doctor also knew the exact hallucinations that the main character was experiencing , which is just part of capability of the technology being displayed in the movie . The movie was cleverly designed to trick the viewer into thinking the main character was crazy
@@abstractproductionz5734 Patrica Clarkston character in the cave is real and what she says is all true. She never says her name is Rachel, Teddy does and she doesn't correct him. She only calls him Marshall, she doesn't talk to him like a patient. No way they would keep supplying him cigarettes if he burnt his wife. Kingsley has a explaination for everything except her, he jumps when Teddy mentioned her but their is no matching avatar for her she real. They wanted to know what Teddy knows that's why they did all of this he knows too much. That why the want to lobotomize him.
Ang saya ng narrator🥺
Those who still think that Teddy Daniels isn't insane, i'm with you guys.😂
Those who thought Teddy is insane, their biggest proof here is that Chuck couldn't handle his gun properly, proving that he isn't a cop and that Teddy is a patient of the island. But when Teddy had a conversation with Noyce, George tells him "i will never get out of here, i got out once but not twice or trice. The fact that Teddy told Chuck before that he had talked to George when he was transfered to Dedham. Proves that Teddy really is a Marshall and that he really is looking for a certain Laeddis and found Noyce and talked to him about this asylum where they are now. But because George's moves are being watched, they brought him back, that makes it Teddy's fault, all of his interrogations including lies in forms of bargaining with him, George feeds him with all the details but because George is being watched, they brought him back beat him and locked him up for good anf that's why he blame Teddy for his condition. So now this men's(Nazis) eyes are on Marshal Teddy who apparently will go to the island just to investigate about a disappearance of a certain Rachel. But at the same time looking for a Certain Laeddis but actually its all a bait to make him go in the island to make him insane. Proof that Teddy isn't insane is when he met with Rachel on the cave, that was a real conversation, she explained about how they are making people insane, and mind controlling procedures and providing the fact that everyone in the island knows it. And its 50's so its safe to say that Nazi still operates to inflict terrors without being noticed by the Government. Also that isnt just a dream or hallucination because from the beggining, all of Teddy's dream ends up being awaken in different scenario but not in this. He's still in the cave with Rachel. A good doctor who uncovered a conspiracy inside the institution and escaped to avoid being turned into a psycho. Think about all warnings she said before Teddy left the cave. All this plots to make the Government think that Teddy is insane. Because if they killed him, further investigation would be conducted and they dont want that. See how anger runs with the warden when he is speaking with Teddy in the vehicle? Like a soldier who is angry with his enemy but couldn't kill him because all their plan will be busted. The woman who wrote "RUN", they're controlling her but something inside her mind still fights for reality and warns Teddy about whats happening. The same thing when George told him "then they've already won" explains that if Teddy thinks he has a partner then their plan to make him insane is working.
I am Nurse, we do not pretend to live in fantasy over reality for the sake of rehabilitation. We always present reality to mentally challenged individual regardless of who they are or how smart they are. If this kind of asylum exists then it is not an asylum, it is an experimentation to create chaos. Therefore Teddy is not insane, but by the time he took the pills the gave him, thats when things got crazy. And oh, about the doctor looking disappointed in the end?he got disappointed to the fact that no matter what they do, they failed to break his spirit.
Those who lives like a monster(them) doing this kinds of evil or die as a good man(him) who fought for what he believes is true.
Yeah this is it
AnonymousAbuser speaks the truth. Whoever thought that going along with one's delusions could actually help make them better? It's like having a kid who thinks that there's a monster in the closet, and so you put one in there to prove him wrong. Now make that make sense!
Does lobotomy work?😑
Awful film absolutely awful.
Tried a sixth sense thing and failed miserably. The acting by Leo was again Oscar worthy.
The redundant schedule neurophysiologically close because effect electrophysiologically box qua a smelly chess. sedate, brawny twig
huh
What is being lobotomized
It is a horrible treatment that was used in the past to solve some psychological illness such as depression and many other. Basically they insert something like icepick from your nose, through your eyesocket, and enter part of your brain. Then they'll 'destroy' some part of your brain. Most of people who take this treatment will lose their personality (might be like an empty shell), even could lose their ability to speak and walk.
Horrible.
They destroy the frontal lobe of your brain. Thus lobe ot o mize.
His brain. The point is to make extremely violent individuals more docile
15:21 Where the explained part starts. Everything before is just a recap of the movie. Waste of time for those who have already seen it.
Watched it but needed the recap cause haven't seen in awhile. In the title it states recap so I'm not sure what the issue is
This is a ripoff though.
Dreadful
Film . Fine acting from LDC . Thin story slightly bad copy of Sixth Sense
Bro explain the movie !! Not narrate every single second of it
He did…….In the last 5 minutes of the 20 minute video😂😂😂
It’s a movie recap/explanation stupid
