Yet it does have a short lived and very brief happy moment with the tiny plotline involving Dr. The movie is dark and psychologically engrossing. But, if you keep up with the entire story, it's meaning is quite obvious. The ending moments were conceived by many to be confusing. Towards the end, we don't want to step fully outside his head, but when we finally do, it's mind blowing. We get into the main character's head and we just get his interpretations, different types though. It's totally different from "Memento" (2000) but still, has a lot of similarities. It's just superbly written and directed and acted. So much of a complex story, yet no giant inconsistencies at all. Some dialogues between the main character and an imprisoned character get a very different interpretation after it's all set and done. There are many additional things which may seem like a diversion from the story being told, but are actually enhancing it. There are quite many "illusions" which feel very real, but carry no real meaning in the end. There are some dream sequences that seems like a filler, but is a major indication to the reveal. We get to know where the character is coming from and we can get behind the character - yet another excellent thing about this movie. The character of Edward Daniels is superbly written. There are a lot of many things that might seem to be pointless before the final twist which are totally relevant with the story that is actually being told. And, like the main character portrayed by DiCaprio, we are not ready to believe what is being told until a lot of reveals finally convince us. And, the final twist is one of the best plot twists I have ever seen.
And, even though the movie gets more complex, it is not difficult to keep up with the major plot points. That is what makes the movie so interesting. As the movie progresses, the plot becomes bigger and bigger with more and more complexity added to it. The beginning of the movie suggests a very basic plot of a detective story, possibly a thriller. "Shutter Island" is simply a masterpiece. That being said, I found "Shutter Island" to be much more superior, as "Inception" feels a little bit of a mumbo jumbo many times. To this day, they are some of the best cinematic experience I have ever had. DiCaprio featured in two movies in 2010, the other one being "Inception". Honestly speaking, it is one of the greatest films of the decade. It is perhaps the best movie starring Leonardo DiCaprio. It is one of the best movies made by director Martin Scorsese.
