Shutter Island mystery

This post is for those of you who have already watched Shutter Island. If you have not already seen the movie do not read on or you will be spoiled. You've been warned.

Many people have watched Shutter Island and were left a bit confused afterwords not knowing for sure whether the main character TeddyAndrewEdward is crazy or not. Te question they are all asking: Is Edward "Teddy" Daniels Crazy Or Sane In Shutter Island?

Many people say that the ending is up for interpretation but the most popular interpretation is that almost all of what the movie is made of comes from the mind of the main character. In other words, Edward Daniels is visualizing the scenes and they are shown to the viewer as if they were actually taking place. the doctors were conducting an experiment on him as an attend to cure him, presumably. They wanted him to figure out what had actually happen and to remember it. They were trying to help him find closure. The doctors play in as well by feeding him false information to populate his visions.

Apparently the experiment worked but Edward simply did not want to face the truth and he actually led the doctors to believe that he needed to be lobotomized. You might want to watch it again just to get all the details right but if you pay attention you will see that it's more or less in the lines of what I just described. If you have yet to watch the movie you really should not be reading this.
