Who is 67?
I finally watched "Shutter Island" last night. What is it with Leonardo DiCaprio and really good movies lately? Could he please stop that because I don't particularly like his acting which always makes me think: Gosh, that movie is great but why can't we have someone else for the lead role? I'm not saying that he is a bad actor, not at all, I just don't like his acting style.
Anyway, there was a detail in the movie that caught my attention and is still puzzling me because it doesn't fit.
When I saw the trailer my mind instantly went to "I bet he's really a patient." I don't know what exactly gave it away for me. It was still a great movie to watch and I pretty much spent it looking for clues that my theorie is right. And one thing I was sure is a clue at that time was in the scene when Teddy/Andrew interviews the female patient. She aks for a glass of water, Chuck brings her one, she drinks and puts it on the table. So far, so unremarkable. Only, when she drinks there is no glass in her hand.
Here she drinks, no glass:
The next moment she puts the empty glass down:
This was obviously done deliberately but from my understanding this interview is very real. It's part of the role play that Sheehan and Cawley set up to pull Andrew out of his fantasy. So how does the vanishing glass fit in? Is there any explanation or did they just do it to screw with the viewer even though it does't make sense in the context of the scene?
