Mentally unstable
Psychiatry makes a great subject of films. I watched Shutter Island alone and found myself wondering about a lot of things. My thoughts were, for the most part, disturbing. For instance, I was asking myself how I could ever be so sure of my sanity. What if, like Teddy Daniels (Leonardo Di Caprio), I just made my own reality—that the world in which I live and function as Lance Catedral is a world invented by my mind, and that there is a real, external world out there?
It's these deeply philosophical questions that the movie makes you think about. The film is beautifully made, masterfully crafted—I mean, we're talking about Martin Scorsese here.

Naisip ko lang. Kasi mahilig ako sa dolls (dati, obviously haha). And I remember wondering paano kung doll lang din pala ako? and that while I thought I had free will, meron naman palang huge invisible hand na nagcocontrol sakin. But I was a younger then, so my mental picture was literally a huge invisible hand around me like how I was gripping my doll. Hahaha :D
