Shutter Island

[Chz]

Eh, I liked the movie but the CGI was really quite dreadful. The 12 year-old in the house flat-out laughed at the boat scenes in the beginning.

It's a great horror, like a cross between The Shining and The Machinist

 

[wiskey]

we're currently half way through and it had better pick up

I wasn't talking about the CGI, nevermind, you obviously loathe the thing anyway.

What were you talking about then? Also I didn't loathe the film, I just found it very dissappointing. I save all my loathing for Michael Bay and his ilk.

Seems to be dividing people this one. Just saw it with a mate, at the end he turned to me and said "thank god for that..., awful". Whereas I loved it! Ok, the portrayal of the patients was a bit ott at times, but otherwise I thought it was excellent in its depiction of the construction of delusions.

Saw this last night, I thought it was brilliant. The dream sequences went on a bit but it was excellent over all.

question...

Spoiler: futha

Did anyone else notice the patient who axed her husband took a drink out of a non existant glass when she was being interviewed?

I liked it, was a bit pulpy but then I suppouse it was meant to be.

I still think Teddy was right...

yes but youse concentration camp guards of the mind would say that.

 

[Boppity]

No, I think you've interpreted that wrong.

I think he accepted he killed his wife, but at the end (when sitting on the step), he pretended he was delusional again. As he said, he'd rather die as a hero than live as a murderer (or something similar to that). So he basically wanted to die.

This was my interpretation too.

Same here. The dream sequences were overstretched somewhat and I felt my mind wandering but not for long. Great cinematography, solid performance from Di Caprio & Kingsley although Ruffalo wasn't the best. Some real hammy turns in places...but still great (Max Von Sydow)...a great homage to the B movie. The score was ace-it was like cranked up to Spinal Tap 11! It was scorsese having fun-I think some people in this thread are taking it far too seriously.

Overall 7.5/10

This was my interpretation too.

Mine too....but only on later reflection.

Yes!

disappointed

 

[ChrisFilter]

It's not necessarily meant to be a big twist, it's a long drawn out reveal

The last line is the real twist

This, completely. Just seen it. I LOVED it.

shitter island

 

[ChrisFilter]

That's what my Mrs just said on FB. It's not big and it's not clever. Besides, I made the joke before the film started.

 

[Kidda]

Genuinely wish i could get the time spent watching that drivel back.
awful film. Predictable from the outset.
