While there are many Shutter Island theories, a lot depends on your analysis of the movie. 'Shutter Island' Credit: Warner Brothers Shutter Island Ending Analysis I think that in one moment, for a half a second sitting there in that island he remembered who he was and then he asks that question and he quickly sort of lets it go. My feeling was no, he’s not so conscious he says, ‘Oh I’m going to decide to pretend to be Laeddis so they’ll finally give me a lobotomy.’ That would just be far more suicidal than I think this character is. “Because if he shows any sort of self-awareness, then it’s over, they wouldn’t want to lobotomize him. "If he were to say it as a statement, then there’s no solution here but to stop the lobotomy,” Lehane said. Lehane actually approved the line during the film’s script process and told MTV in an interview that the question is just a “momentary flash” of sanity, but that Teddy stays Teddy at the end. While the line was not in Lehane's novel, he has the opposite opinion of the meaning. That's a bit of a dark ending, but I think it's the one I side with. I'm not going to actually commit suicide, but I'm going to vicariously commit suicide by handing myself over to these people who're going to lobotomize me." His takeaway for the line was that the words mean, "I feel too guilty to go on living. Professor James Gilligan of New York University was Scorsese's psychiatric adviser on the film. This has caused much debate and analysis. That's mostly because the final lines, "Which would be worse–to live as a monster, or to die as a good man?" do not appear in the book. To say there have been differing opinions over the ending of this movie would be an understatement. But when she went to report this fact they had her committed to the island. She says they had her on psychotropic medication and that the doctors at the island were trying to perfect mind control. Inside is a woman who claims to be the real Rachel Solando-an undercover reporter. Teddy thinks he sees Chuck's dead body on the rocks. Teddy is unsure what to make of this information. The patient warns that everyone on the island, including Chuck, is playing an elaborate game. But all the workers at the asylum say Laeddis is not there, nor was he ever there.Īfter searching for clues, Teddy breaks into Ward C and talks to a patient who tells him some of the most severe cases are taken to be lobotomized at a lighthouse on the far side of the island. Teddy later explains to Chuck that locating Laeddis was his ulterior motive for taking the case. A vision of Dolores tells Teddy that Solando is still on the island, as is her killer, Laeddis. He has disturbing dreams of his wife, Dolores, who was killed in a fire set by an arsonist known as Andrew Laeddis. Teddy starts to have migraine headaches that trigger visions of his experiences as a soldier during the liberation of Dachau.
As they talk to some patients, one writes the word "RUN" in Teddy's notepad. There are parts of the hospital that are off-limits and they're not allowed to search.
Solando's doctor left the island on vacation immediately after she disappeared, preventing them from interrogating him. Lead psychiatrist John Cawley refuses to turn over records. When they talk to the staff, it's confrontational.
