A film that plays with you, makes a fool out of you!

Rating: 10/10 (18 September 2016)

I really love this film. Today is the third time I have watched this, each time with a new person, each time kind of fooling the person sitting next to you. So today it was my elder sister and her husband, throughout I keep on feeding them with what Andrew Laeddis assumes the mental asylum to be, and then, boom, they discover that all that they had been thinking, all that they had come to know so far is all wrong. I love that feeling, haha! My sister is currently having a severe headache!
Actually, I can very well relate to what goes through your mind watching it, since it fooled me like everyone else. It goes like this, till before the last 15 minutes.....
"Great film! Brilliantly highlights how cheap humans can be at times and how cruel they can be on one another. Pretty much shows how low we can fall. Extremely disturbing, sad and frustrating because of what innocent people have to go through."
But then, after the ending, I was left to laugh at myself and to admire this masterpiece. I thought it was a bit similar to 'Momento' (2000) in a sense considering the ending.
The IMDb summary goes like: "In 1954, U.S. Marshal Teddy Daniels is investigating the disappearance of a murderess who escaped from a hospital for the criminally insane and is presumed to be hiding near-by."
Well, there is not even a percent of truth to this if you see the ending!
So a big thumbs up to this masterpiece, which was of course into its full flow thanks to such a brilliant performance by Leonardo DiCaprio, and actually by everyone.
