looks like an anecdote... laughable, sad

Rating: 2/10 (21 March 2010)

after the trailer i nearly expected something as insightful as the "Green Mile" by Frank Darabont...
Though professionally made "SH.tter Island" just reminded me of an anecdote, when after some intensive mental treatment, a doctor is sure that his patient is cured at last. The doctor is very pleased to get all the right answers from the patient confirming that he is mentally well and sound now. And when they are about to say their good-byes the patient makes some innocent comment proving that there was NO miraculous cure... everything was in vain... Numb scene... Curtain... Laughable, sad but simple truth about this movie. However, IMHO, it takes too much time and cinematography to tell this nice little anecdote.
