drowning in imaginations

Rating: 9/10 (24 May 2010)

Every body has it's own imagination, dreams, fears and etc. But what makes us to get lost in our imaginations? What makes us to cross the line? What makes us to look crazy as much as we seem normal?
I think this movie has answered some of those questions. I realized that when you have nothing to believe in, no one to trust in and you suddenly loose every thing you have, you have no way but going through your imaginations.
By a survey at Scorsese's movies we see that most of them have a kind of apocalyptic atmosphere. "taxi driver", "The departed", "The gangs of new york" and the last one "Shutter island". And the best term to describe their hero's situation is this; "when you're facing a loaded gun, what's the difference?"[1]
[1]: "the departed"
