They went to the hospital but the head psychiatrist Dr John Cawley didn't seems to help them willingly. Teddy is frustrated and decided to give up but they were not able to leave the island due to the heavy windstorm.
During his sleep, Teddy saw his wife Dolores who has been killed 2 years ago in a fire which caused by Andrew Laeddis who is now in the Shutter Island too. Dolores told Teddy not to give up and continue search for Rachel and Andrew. Teddy and Chuck questioned patients and hospital workers who are in Rachel's therapy session and one of the patient told Teddy to run while he still can.
The heavy windstorm has cause the electric generator to malfunction. Patient from the dangerous Ward C has tried to escaped. Teddy happened to meet George Noyce in a cell. George told Teddy that the hospital trapped innocent people in the island and will accused them of being sick so that nobody from outside will believe them. After that they will be sent to the lighthouse for experiment.
Teddy and Chuck went over rock hill for the lighthouse. Teddy thought Chuck has fell down the hill and crawl down but it was a mistake. Just when Teddy wanted to climb up, he saw rats climb out from a hole. He crawl in and found a woman inside, she's the real Rachel Solando. Rachel told Teddy that she was a real doctor, but just because she asked too much, Cawley and others accused her of being sick and put her in the hospital. She also stated that patient will be sent to lighthouse for experiment.

My God, this film is superb. A very exciting psychological thriller movie which we can never miss this year. I love Martin Scorsese's movie, he has been partnering with DiCarpio these few years and they have make a hit and success in all these film.
Love the way how Leonardo presented in this film, totally outshine Ben Kingsley who is always good in acting. The story is a bit predictable which is based on the novel of Dennis Lehane in 2003.

ReplyDeleteKen G, u think so too? yay... hope there's a lot of awards waiting for it/...
ReplyDeleteYes, I have watched it. They explained in the end that the charade was a last ditch effort to make him snap out of it. The alternative was to lobotomize him. So when went off with Dr. Naehring in the end, I wonder...
ReplyDeletehmmm~ i think they did, the movie left u guessing in the end :) cool huh?
