Shutter Island is weird - hard to follow..
Thats because the movie is a piece of shit. Read the book. Denis Lehane is a modern master, I have a lot of respect for his style.
He started with a bunch of Private Eye books, kinda like Raymond Chandler, which aren't mandatory and most people (here) would find kinda annoying, because it's like cop-drama. Personally I don't like much of that, either.
But Shutter Island was a major departure from that style and genre, it's hard to believe the same person wrote the PI books and Shutter Island. The man has talent. And he's relatively young, I have high hopes for more to follow.
Watching that movie, I was angry for weeks. I'm angry now, and it's been like two years. If I was him and that was my book, I'd have lost my marbles. Book-wrecking no-talent movie-assholes.

I donno what the last movie I watched was. I've been digging Sunny In Philadelphia. I like series stuff.
I'm gonna watch Everything Must Go one of these days. But it could be a while before I do it.
