Re: Shutter Island
SPOILERS
Overall I liked the movie, but...
I thought the opening scene on the boat was a cheat/cheap misdirection tool.
We follow the story through the protagonists POV which is obviously an insane Dicaprio so I can accept all the misdirections and manipulations on the island, but there is no reason why he should have been on a boat off the island.
He was a prisoner/patient on the island and the movie should have started with him walking up the pathway, on the island which was the realm in which his fantasy was being played out.
