Shutter Island
Took half a star off as the “twist” of him being patient 67 was seen by me the minute a patient 67 was mentioned. However, I didn’t know to what extent Teddy, or I should I say Andrew was in delusion or how the little girl and his wife tied in. Well done!!
I must admit seeing so many black men as workers then hearing that they were in cahoots with the “experiments” was the moment I knew whatever we thought was happening wasn’t true to reality.
Knowing our history with being experimented on, more specifically the unethical Tuskegee syphilis study, I seriously doubted that Scorsese would portray black men as the “villains”. I was correct in my assessment.
Lastly, I noticed the cup disappear during the interrogation scene and rewinded about 4 times to make sure I saw correctly. Loved how subtle it was. If you blink you’ll miss it.
