SHUTTER ISLAND (2010) TWIN BROTHERS FIRST TIME WATCHING MOVIE REACTION!

[@johnnyboy7144]

At the end he knew he was Andrew Laedis but pretended to be Teddy Daniels, he wanted his memory wiped, he didn’t wanna live with his demons anymore… you nailed it

That’s not definitive lol. It’s just an option.

He was psychotic but was cured through the process because the last line tells us he decides he cannot live with his past anymore.

[@lynnie6633]

Yes, I think he was going to be lobotomized and wanted to believe he was a good man, one that he fabricated, rather than the truth that he was a murderer.

[@rtrs5413]

Then why he should move to a different place and live as a good man.Being socializing is the thing that makes a human being,and it is the things which lacks Am i right

[@Raven5150]

A lobotomy us not a cure there is a reason it is ilegal now the only living lobotomy survivor is almost 80 and got his forced lobotomy at age 12 and has 0 memory of his life before 12 he's lived his entire life just 2 steps sbove a zombie the man that invented the lobotomy won the nobel Prize for it and really needs to be take away

[@katiegwynn4495]

My take on the ending was that he understood that he was not able to maintain his sanity, and therefore couldn't justify living

[@joelholland8523]

​@katiegwynn4495 💯 and also knowing he killed his love. Basically his up shit creek without a paddle. Crazy but wise move. No one should live like that. He also realises he's nothing but destruction. It needs to stop

[@stevesheroan4131]

He still feels like the villain of his own story because he knew his wife was unstable after she burned down their apartment, but denied it to himself and allowed her to be with the children. He feels directly responsible once he realizes his denial of her condition is the real reason his children are dead.

[@7Danita]

Spot on 💯

[@cambriatevis6907]

I believe he was mostly feeling guilty for not getting his wife mental help after she burned down their house. He feels guilty for ignoring the signs that she needed help which led to the death of his children.

[@saadesigner07]

This movie is even better on multiple viewings. So many little details that make sense later on.

[@Edd25164605]

Fantastic Movie. Dicaprios acting was top notch, especially at the scene where the kids died.

[@SpicyTurk]

dont forget the scene in ward C with george noyce. 10/10

[@MoMoMyPup10]

Mainly reminiscent to his reaction when his wife Mal jumped from the building.

[@lavenderllamamusic]

@@MoMoMyPup10 i always think of that scene too, except here, it's much more intense to me. Considering there's children involved, he really taps into that earth shattering heartbreak

[@Code_Fish]

He almost cracked the code right in the beginning with that “is it sea sickness or mental illness?” then changed his mind to just sea sickness lol

[@dawnburris6412]

I know!! I was thinking, “Please don’t guess it!!”

[@sicksadworld6221]

I was thinking the same thing like "oh crap, he's about to figure it out sooner than I was hoping." But thankfully he didn't.

[@snuggies8037]

The reason why everyone looks nervous and sketchy isn’t because they are hiding something, it’s because they are letting the most dangerous patient run around like this. They are scared of him. The warden didn’t want to leave him alone with the doctor in the beginning because Andrew is a violent patient. Brilliant

[@jillwanlin9558]

Watch the movie again. Knowing that he was a patient there you see it from a different perspective and it all makes sense. Great movie. Great reaction guys!

[@AprilGabrielle]

Yes! I love how this is a completely different movie the second time you watch it.

[@brycelandon2110]

Fun fact: Every time the lighthouse was in shot it was different each time (A field leading up to it, surrounded by water, caged fence, etc.)

[@JKM395]

This is one of the best films I've ever seen. It demands a second watch. You fellas did a great job with this one. You almost cracked the mystery before it was handed to you. I tend to think that Leo's character was finally cured and that he decided that he'd rather be lobotomized anyway. He'd rather buy into his own delusion and 'die a good man.'

[@OctoKrool]

I totally thought the same at the end, I feel like once truly accepting the reality of what happened to his family is there much of a purpose to go on living? That final quote “This place makes me wonder, which would be worse, to live as a monster or to die as a good man?” Says it all.

[@JKM395]

@@OctoKrool I can't say I blame the man. Given the circumstance, I might come to the same conclusion.

[@oldgreggsmadmemes4431]

If he was cured he would have been sent to jail or death which is the sad part and. He realize that was the only outcome left for him if he was "cured" which sadly I believe he was

[@Psydvckthefirst]

@@oldgreggsmadmemes4431 doubt a jury would send anyone to jail for murder for more than a year after their spouse killed 3 kids. The psychological state would be taken to account as an extenuating circumstances.

[@Rmlohner]

The story here pulls a pretty neat trick in how they can keep piling on as many strange clues and impossible events as they wish, because NONE of it actually matters and the mystery was never real.

[@dlweiss]

Well, to be fair, a lot of the clues mattered - but they were clues to Teddy/Andrew's own mental illness, not clues to the "mystery." :)

[@shainewhite2781]

Dude, this is just like Memento, where you able to watch over and over again to find the clues on what's really going on.

[@PastaDon_]

Right!!! My second viewing I was like holy shit it's all right in front of us and they're telling us the whole time what's really going on while watch'n it.. Genius the way the script was written..

[@jennifersixx3740]

This is one of my favorite films ever made. It’s open to interpretation but I believe he did finally have a breakthrough and remembered everything the next morning and wanted to go to the lighthouse and have a lobotomy

[@e.jamesshepard7183]

I was one of the extra's in the WW2/Dachau Concentration Camp scenes. I still haven't been able to catch a glimpse of myself either because i blend in with a bunch of others or i ended up on the cutting room floor. Those scenes were shot at the Whittenton Mills here in Taunton Massachusetts.

[@mrsfahrenheit]

okay but that is so cool

[@danielallen3454]

"No wonder he cracked. Who wouldn't, after what he'd been through?"

[@elizabitty213]

I love how “Mrs. Kearnz” makes it a point to correct him about being Mrs. & not Ms. only to next confess to murdering her husband with an axe lmao 🤣 🤦🏼‍♀️

[@danielallen3454]

Hearing about her situation, I tend to agree with her. Under her circumstances, axing the man isn't the least understandable thing you could do. Though I also agree with her that she probably shouldn't get out.

[@denisemoreland7726]

One of my favorite movies! *spoiler* And yes, he was teddy in his head and yes, he was finally cured and he chose to be lobotomized instead of continuing to live in mental torture from the trauma he went through.

[@corvus1374]

Dennis Lehane is a master writer. Besides this, movies have also been made out of his Mystic River, and Gone Baby Gone. He also wrote episodes of The Wire. This movie is just unbearably sad.

[@jasminehill6312]

His episodes of The Wire are true masterpieces!!!

[@williamsummerson1204]

Really enjoyed your guys reaction. This is one of the greatest psychological thrillers ever and leonardo DiCaprio is phenomenal as always.

[@christopherjove7035]

I’m so glad you guys did this one, not many people have reacted to it yet. This movie is an underrated gem for sure.

[@meredithmiller7016]

The twist caught me entirely by surprise the first time I saw it. I love going back and watching it again to see the clues!

[@JeremyGregson]

The second time you watch this movie is awesome because you go in knowing what you know now, and you watch the movie from a whole different perspective. It's always why everyone is on edge near them, and why everyone is acting strange.

[@RustinChole]

In the book it’s much more clear. He did drink to avoid dealing with his wife’s growing insanity, left her alone with the kids and a bottle of laudanum, she did drown them, he did kill her. His past was 100% true. Check out the book, it’s not bad. Fleshes out the best parts of the book.

I love this movie, on my top 10 easy. After watching it many times i could catch the amount of clues that are dropped since the start, for example the one i think its more obvious is how Teddy always need Chuck to light his cigarette, because mental patients can never carry any lighter

[@luketrottier9388]

Good catch. Love 'little' or I should say subtle, but notable details like this, both as a clue, and for accuracy.

[@lonerebeI]

The ending can be interpreted both ways. Either he really did accept his reality of what had happened to him and his family, or he was still intentionally being delusional so that they can kill him and finally put him out of his misery- the pain of realizing what had happened. Love this movie, such a Classic 🔥🔥

[@versetripn6631]

Both 'Shutter Island' and 'The Fifth Element' are playing on my cable rotation this month. "The Law of Four" is possibly a reference to "Judgement". The FOUR Horsemen? Four determine fate based on One. Ben Kingsley, Max Von Sydow, Ted Levine...Mark Ruffalo, all giving Leo "the run of the grounds". Just like...Neo.

[@genageeraert8039]

This is one of my favourite movies. He chose to die. Leonardo was fantastic in this role.

[@neonsmoviereviews7969]

That final line was the one change from the novel. In the novel he just relapsed. I read the book before seeing the film and that change was devastatingly powerful

[@ruthfoley2580]

The book is brilliant & this is a great adaptation.

[@leogothisoscar271]

Agreed, it's very close. The book is clearer on things like the law of 4 and the line at the end.

[@tree6787]

I think this movie does such an amazing job at showing what psychosis actually looks like😊

[@colee61200]

Remember my Dad pirating this movie when I was 10 years old, blew my child mind then & my adult mind all these years later. One of the best movies I've ever seen, the twist at the end is top tier!

[@captainteeko4579]

I just realized how much that quote at the end reminds me of the dark knight’s “you either die a hero or love long enough to see yourself become a villain”

[@Sd3cinema]

Fun fact, the main guard who antagonizes him in the truck, is Buffalo Bill

[@BloodylocksBathory]

I like the casting in this movie. Putting really good and distinct character actors even in the smaller roles (Ted Levine, Elias Koteas, Jackie Earle Haley) makes the characters feel all the more important to the story. And I know a lot of people were rolling their eyes over the twist ending when the film was first released, but I guessed it too and was still gripped by the reveal of it. Even though the whole "he's actually crazy" twist becomes obvious, the fun is in figuring out the why and the how, and seeing the protagonist go on the journey to the truth.

[@schmevy]

I always forget that Buffalo Bill is in this!

[@krashd]

@@schmevy Only today did I realise Rorschach was in it.

[@ghani666]

Also, the point isn’t just that he’s crazy, it’s *why* he’s crazy. I haven’t met anyone who guessed that part of the twist.

[@foilhattiest1]

I feel like it's pretty obvious he was a patient there all along just like the doctor said, realized the truth at the end, stayed recovered the next morning but chose the lobotomy in order to finally forget and rid himself of his demons once and for all, but I've also seen this movie like 3-4 times. You may want to go back and rewatch it at least a second time, I think all the little subtle clues along the way will be a lot clearer than it was the first time :)

[@clintmoses957]

Last year around this time y’all had 7k subs now its 40k subs👏👏👏

[@winter_s_44]

Leo is one of the most underrated and under appreciated actors ever. This was such a great film!

[@dapaintbrush6965]

I really dont think Leo is underrated at all so many people know him and love him.

[@williambeckett6336]

You'd think "DON'T SPLIT UP IN THE ASYLUM" would be a base human instinct.

[@solar1913]

I think it’s not so much the fact that he killed his wife that is bothering him as that he knew she was problematics (started a fire in the apartment) and he still left her alone with the kids. Him looking the other way resulted in her killing the kids, so he is an accomplice in a way. So yeah, he decided he prefer the lobotomy and no longer knowing rather then living with the knowledge that he could have acted prior. The wife would be in prison/mental facility but his kids would be alive.

[@ItsLexy]

This is how I always interpreted Teddy/Andrew's guilt too. It drops clues in the movie he was formally an alcoholic and maybe a neglectful husband so his ignoring of Dolores' building psychosis played a part in their children's deaths. This has also happened in real life chases such as Andrea Yates who killed her children while suffering delusions their souls were in danger. Her husband had previously been told by her doctors 1) not to continue to have children with her yet he continued to get her pregnant and 2) that she could not be safely left alone with the kids which on the day she drowned her children he left the house before his mother arrived to help Andrea with their kids. I also seem to recall he played a part in Andrea stopping her medications for depression because the medication would interfere with her pregnancy and breastfeeding. So unfortunately when negligence is mixed with serious mental illness tragedy occurs.

[@AprilGabrielle]

Let's not just gloss over that Basketball Diaries idea. You should DEFINITELY watch that one.

[@leek4prez948]

[@WonderKRW]

I remember watching this thinking they are really trying too hard to look like detectives, but I shrugged it off since it was the 50s lol.

[@Redsdelight]

You should watch Frequency if you enjoyed this.. I think you would both like that. Jim Caviziel and Dennis Quaid. Great sci-fi film. Unrelated, I also recommend Road to Perdition. Amazing cast: Tom Hanks, Jude Law, Daniel Craig, Paul Newman, and Stanley Tucci. Great depression era gangster film that to me is one of most beautiful movies I've ever seen with the most beautiful cinematography and the most amazing score (music). I've recommended Road to Perdition a few times to other reactors and its never been done. Hopefully you guys do it.

[@CameronJamesPhillips]

It's not just his murdering his wife. He also feels 100% responsible for his wife murdering his kids because he knew his wife was unwell when she set their apartment on fire and would tell him her brain was unwell and he wouldn't listen. He drank instead. That was his response. So he feels responsible for his entire family's death. And that's why he creates Teddy Daniel's because he can't live with himself. So at the end he accepts that he can't live with himself and nakes it his choice, but he doesn't die, he gets lobotomized. But it is a kind of death per se.

[@Chrius]

It's great watching this movie a second time and paying attention to everyone else, knowing the outcome.

[@TifaBom]

Idk why i cry hard to that last word of him. Hit hard for some reason both in his case and us in reality

[@kaylakurosaki4873]

He blames himself in not listening/seeing the signs that his wife was ill. And because he refused to see it it resulted in his wife killing their 3 children, and in return, his guilt is what did him in.

[@tree6787]

Why are you all wet baby? That line sends shivers up my back every time I watch this movie.

[@TenTonNuke]

The clear proof that he was faking at the end is that he, supposedly as Teddy, gets up and willingly walks off with the doctors without any resistance.

[@sitebstudios]
