Flawless screenplay..

Rating: 10/10 (30 September 2019)

This movie blew my mind.
The movie begins with the protagonist, Edward Teddy Daniels, on his way to shutter island aka mental asylum. With him is his newly assigned partner, Chuck. What starts as a missing patient mystery soon reveals Teddy's own intentions to hunt down his wife's murderer on that island. One event leads to another until Teddy is convinced of a conspiracy against him that is preventing him from uncovering the real truth. He believes unethical mental experiments are being done with the patients there.
He then meets the lost patient in a cave, who convinces him about everyone being evil on the island and that they would do anything to not let him go. He swims his way to the lighthouse and confronts Dr Cawley. THIS IS WHERE THE PLOT EXPLODES.
As Dr Cawley begins convincing him that Teddy himself is just another patient affected by OCD, we the audience feel the cunningness in his attempt to mislead Teddy. But line after line, Teddy and the audience, slowly begin to accept Dr Cawley's version of tge story. THIS IS WHERE THE BEAUTY OF THE MOVIE LIES.....as in throughout the movie, both Teddy and we were under an illusion, and Dr Cawley's suggestions brought both Teddy and us out of our delusion...... Masterful.
So what could have been a dull insight into an OCD patient's life turned into a full length suspense-thriller.... just because of the way the entire events were arranged. Brilliant!!!
