Chapter Eighty-Four: Do You Understand?

The premiere was over, and everyone in the audience stood up, albeit reluctantly leaving.

"Papapa"

It was only then that they remembered to applaud, and no one would be stingy with their applause for this 120-minute viewing enjoyment, and many people even slapped their palms red.

"Do you understand the story? How should the end of the story be understood? ”

On the way out of the screening room, everyone's emotions were high, and many people got together to discuss it, and in most people's opinion, it was a story related to psychiatric treatment.

The murderer, Ledice, who is mentally ill, denies that his wife and three children are dead, imagines himself as Fed Police Teddy, and fantasizes about a conspiracy on the island to clear his name. In order to cure Ladis, Dr. John Cowley uses role-playing therapy in the hope of returning Ladis to normal, and between fantasy and reality, Ladis's identity is gradually overturned by himself, and finally returns to his normal state. However, when it comes to choosing whether to live like a murderer or die like a good man, Ladyce chooses the latter, which is his judgment on himself and a kind of atonement for himself.

If you just start from the perspective of the story, this understanding is the simplest, most intuitive and most recognized, but the magic of "Shutter Island" is that if you take the story back in your mind, you will find that there are many plots that cannot be justified from the perspective of the story alone. For example, at the end, Dr. John Cowley says that we helped you come to your senses nine months ago, but you have a relapse. That's right, here's the biggest loophole, if Ladyce's sanity had regained nine months ago, then why didn't he opt for brain lobectomy at the time?

If you think about it differently, Teddy is actually not crazy, his identity is indeed a federal policeman, he is here to investigate the case on Shutter Island, and Shutter Island hides a huge conspiracy here, that is to say, step by step, everything is actually a trap arranged by Dr. John Cowley, through drugs and various psychological hints to make Teddy think that he is Ledice in the end, a murderer. However, the next day, Ledice regained consciousness, and between living like a psycho or dying like a normal person, Ladyce chose the latter, and out of respect, Chuck finally called out Teddy's real name.

The ending of the story sublimates the film all at once, and according to therapeutics, it can be seen as a choice between legal trial and spiritual salvation; According to the conspiracy theory perspective, the answer here is between stealing life and dying generously.

Is the protagonist crazy or not? Is he Ladyce or Teddy? Yes, it is true that all the evidence points to Ladis's madness, but when it comes to the time, background and some incomprehensible places of the story, many people have doubts about it, if the protagonist is not crazy, but everything is designed by someone else like in "Truman's World", and it sounds not impossible to drive a non-crazy federal police officer crazy

These two endings make all the viewers who have watched the movie crazy, in the end which point is the truth, everyone has their own understanding, and everyone can't convince another point of view.

There are many Hollywood suspense films every year, but there are very few movies like this that make people unable to make judgments in two endings, especially the structure of the movie is so huge, World War II, psychiatric treatment and other sensitive things are also shown in the movie one by one, several stories are connected together, but the logic is not the slightest confusion, so that many viewers are fooled after watching it, this is not a high-IQ movie at all, but a movie that tortures IQ.

"Damn Mister, I don't think I should be able to sleep again tonight!"

Statements like this can be heard at the exit of many theaters, and many more will add after saying this: "I'll be here tomorrow, God forbid, I hope there is no queue tomorrow!" ”

The audience in the Dolby Theater has almost gone, and many people asked Xiansen loudly before leaving, what is the truth of this story, and Xiansen did not give any answer to this, or that sentence, he just told a story, as for the truth, everyone will have their own understanding.

"Looks like you've succeeded again."

Leonardo stood up from his seat and gave a thumbs up to Xiansen. Shaking his head, he reached out and squeezed Leonardo's hand tightly, Xiansen said with a smile: "No, Leo, this is our success!" It is the success of all of us. ”

After speaking, Xiansen let go of his hand and trotted to the middle of the theater, at this time the audience had all left, and only the actors who participated in the premiere and friends in Xiansen's circle were still in the screening hall. Standing in front of the screen, Xiansen was a little emotional, and said loudly: "Guys, are you excited? Did you hear that applause just now? That's the best compliment to our film."

Before he finished speaking, he was interrupted by Leonardo below, "Director, I think those disputes are the best compliment, really, if it weren't for the security guards coming in to maintain order, I think there would be a rush here." ”

"Hahaha"

As soon as Leonardo's words fell, all the cast and crew of the crew laughed, how surprising it must be that a movie makes the audience reluctant to leave.

"Well, I'll admit that's the best compliment."

Xiansen shrugged his shoulders and said helplessly: "I'm a little scared now, you say, what if my movie causes a world war?" ”

"Don't worry, director, even if it's a world war, you're the safest."

Brent Wilson answered, seeing everyone looking at him suspiciously, and continued, "Because you have the final truth!" ”

"Hahaha"

There was another burst of laughter in the Dolby auditorium.

The night is getting late, and the autumn breeze is blowing, bringing a little coolness, but at the door of the theater, there is still a long queue, and many people are already sleepy-eyed, but they are still guarding the ticket window. Hathaway walked out of the movie theater, her brother following behind, both with their heads bowed and silent, not knowing what to think in their heads.

"Sister, I still think it's a conspiracy, you see Teddy has a smoking addiction, but his cigarettes have been gone since the boat, he has been smoking and being handed to him by others, and besides, he is sensitive to water, but he swims to the lighthouse, so he must be Teddy, and"

As she was about to say the key point, Hathaway turned around and covered her brother's mouth.

"From now on, don't talk, don't mess my mind!"

Let go of his hand, regardless of his brother's aggrieved expression, and walked forward by himself.

After about a few minutes, his younger brother seemed to be a little unbearable, and finally whispered, "Sister, you seem to have gone in the wrong direction"

"Ahh You idiot! ”

Michelle Clarkson went straight to the newspaper office after coming out of the theater, he was ready to start work immediately, write his own film review as soon as possible, sat in the taxi, his mind kept recalling the plot of the movie, this is an open ending, and the theme of the movie has become open because of the ending. Although there are many details that could prove that Ladyce was crazy, if you put it another way, they can also be evidence that Teddy was framed. How to write a movie review is really not a simple matter.

"Hi sir, what movie did you just watch? Shutter Island? ”

The taxi driver was a black man in his twenties with a punk hairstyle that looked trendy.

"That's right, you're interested in movies?"

Michelle Clarkson asked curiously, he has always been very respectful of movie lovers.

"Oh, sure, I'm still going to see the midnight show of Shutter Island? Dude, how about the movie? ”

"How?"

Michelle is a little confused about this word, is the movie good? Of course it's pretty, but are you sure you understand it after reading it? It's hard to say.

"The movie is good, Teddy is actually a psychopath"

"Squeak"

Michelle was just about to tell the driver buddy about the plot when a sudden brake almost threw him out of his seat belt.

"Hey, buddy, don't end up with me, you said it, what else do I mean!"

Seeing this person's reaction so fierce, Michelle sighed and said sadly: "It's useless, even if you know the ending, it's useless, because this ending is shit at all, it doesn't say anything at all, it just makes you feel more complicated, that's right, this damn director, he's playing us, and we're being played with peace of mind, **!" It's just a story because of this ending, everything becomes unknown, and reverse thinking is established because of this, I love him to death, oh no, no, no, damn Mister, he's only 23 years old, how can he make a movie like this! ”

Later, Michelle's emotions became agitated, and he spoke incoherently, scolding Mister Sen while praising Mister, looking at this contradictory reaction, the black driver couldn't help but swallow his saliva, is this crazy watching movies.

After the taxi drove to its destination, Michelle pushed open the door and said steadily: "If you don't mind struggling with movies for a week, you can go watch Shutter Island, believe me, this movie will torture you to death!" ”

In a Chinese restaurant in Los Angeles, Li Boxian was gobbling up dinner, because he was a reporter from the Chinese entertainment magazine "Star Weekly", so he didn't have an invitation letter, in order to queue up to buy tickets, he didn't even eat lunch, after queuing for more than two hours, he bought a ticket with a location that was not very good, and this location was very coincidental, it was actually next to the media reporter area, which was really fateful.

After coming out of the movie theater, he was a little hungry, so he found a nearby Chinese restaurant, although the taste of the food was not very good, but Li Boxian, who was very hungry, had already eaten it regardless of the taste.

Business at night at this Chinese restaurant is good, there are a lot of blonde and blue-eyed foreigners in it, and the food in the restaurant has been slightly changed to suit American tastes.

"Crystal, what movie are you going to see later? How about "The Perfect Thief", starring Bruce Willis! ”

"No, Mom, I'm going to watch Shutter Island, I like the pigeon he photographed."

A mother and daughter at the opposite table attracted Li Boxian's attention, the mother and daughter are Asian, the mother is very beautiful, and although the daughter is not very old, about thirteen or fourteen years old, she already gives people a slim feeling, Li Boxian couldn't help but take a few more looks.

"Christa, Shutter Island is scary, do you want this holiday to be spent in fear?"

The beautiful mother whispered to persuade her daughter, she felt that taking her daughter to watch this kind of suspense thriller was not very good for the child's heart.

"Don't, I don't!"

Ren shook his head, and Christa pouted angrily.

"I'm going to watch Shutter Island, I've grown up, I'm not afraid!"

Looking at the conversation between this mother and daughter, Li Boxian couldn't help but smile, and after dinner, when he passed by the mother and daughter, he said casually: ""Shutter Island" is not something that a child like you can understand, listen to your mother, besides, the movie tickets are probably sold out." ”

After speaking, he walked towards the door of the restaurant, and when he saw Li Boxian's back, Christa waved her little hand angrily and shouted loudly: "You are a child, you big villain, big scoundrel, you must have seen my mother beautiful and deliberately came to talk!" Hum! ”

"Amount"

Hearing this, Li Boxian felt a flock of crows flying over his head.

Perhaps because she didn't find it enjoyable, Christa whispered again: "Uncle Perverted Monster!" ”

This sentence also reached Li Boxian's ears, because this sentence is very unique, this is a Chinese sentence, unexpectedly, the mother and daughter are actually Chinese.

Although "Shutter Island" has left many people sleepless all night, no one complains about the movie, because this movie is like a maze, the more you think about it, the more forks in the road, and in the end, you are completely dizzy. People have an inquisitive mind about things that cannot be understood, and in this movie, the more you explore, the more complex your understanding of the story becomes.

The night passed and dawn dawned in Los Angeles.

On the Internet Movie Database (IMBD), at this time, more than 100,000 users have given a rating of "Shutter Island", with a homepage rating of 9.3, and more than ninety percent of the top 250 users, with a score of 9.1, what is this concept? This score has reached the eighth in film history, which means that this movie has become the eighth highest score in the world!

The news spread quickly on the Internet, and more and more people came to vote, of course, this group of people was mixed with a large number of water armies, yes, most of them were professional water armies of the New York Times, as a media outlet, the New York Times also had its own "Internet Public Relations Department". Under the indiscriminate bombardment and instigation of a group of water armies, "Shutter Island" was the lowest score of 10,000 votes in an instant, and the score quickly dropped to 8.9, of course, wars between water armies and fans are very common, and I believe that after the screening of "Shutter Island", the film's performance will fluctuate slightly.

For the evaluation of "Shutter Island", there has also been a particularly serious polarization on the Internet, and users who feel that "Shutter Island" is a bad movie commented: "This is a messy neurotic story, and the director is very high-end." ”

And these comments are just these points of view over and over again, without the slightest substance. More fans still gave positive comments, and some fans said: "This is the best suspense film, in addition to Leonardo's talented acting skills and Mister's perfect direction, each character has performed its own characteristics, in this movie, you can't find obvious shortcomings, if you have to say where there are shortcomings, it is that one hundred and twenty minutes is too little, even if this movie is two hundred and ten minutes, I don't want to leave my seat!" ”

"This is a suspense film comparable to Hitchcock!"

Many fans have given such a title, and many people know about the previous media battle about "Shutter Island", so they are cheering for their favorite movie.

The news of "Shutter Island" is spreading wildly on the Internet, like "God! "Hell!" "No solution!" and so on, and there is no doubt that this is a classic movie that deserves to be remembered forever!

"I'm crazy, I don't have to go to work today because I'm going to the cinema to watch it again later!"

"Leonardo, that's right, it's him, he taught me what it means to be a man's charm, and I'm in love with him."

Well, the account of the last message shows a male surname

"This movie shows us that high-IQ movies can be made like this. What is suspense? It's not that the audience can't understand it, but that the audience can question themselves, Miste is great! ”

Hathaway also gave her own evaluation on the Internet, she said: "I went to see Leo, but after watching this movie, I found that I don't love him anymore, because, I have a new love, that is Mister Sen." From "50 First Loves" to "Hope" to "Shutter Island", his three stories have fascinated me a little bit, and I can't extricate myself until now. Does Mister have a girlfriend? ”

Does Mister have a girlfriend?

For this, many entertainment tabloids have given their own answers, they have analyzed a lot of female surnames, such as Julie Barrymore, originally this may have a surname of 80%, but because the premiere of "Shutter Island" was not seen, so the surname may be greatly reduced, in second place is Rachel Belson, this little girl's two appearances are next to Xiansen, but this little girl looks very young, according to the analysis of Mister, it should not be so beastly (too overestimated him), in third place is Catherine, The media also don't know where to dig up the information about Xiansen's ex-girlfriend, which is said to have been exposed by classmates

There are also a lot of scandals listed later, but most of them are groundless, Xiansen and Rachel have a good relationship now, where can there be so many messy things
