I got to see the movie version of ‘Shutter Island’ today. The twist was quite interesting for me and quite surprising too. The movie was also a bit scary, because it looked like it was possible to put a person in a particular environment and change his / her personality. One part of my mind still seems to doubt the twist in the end and looks for the more scarier explanation! Thanks for writing about this book and movie.

I thought it seemed obvious in the movie but since I’d read the book I couldn’t tell how obvious it was. But I kind of liked the overly dramatic music and acting that took place. As long as you don’t mind figuring it out, I actually think the movie is pretty good.

Okay, that was one disappointing movie! The twist, if it can be called that, was so obvious! It was wearing tap shows as Lily Charles would say. I was waiting for the real twist and that never came No wonder you started to doze off!I did like the music and the setting though!

I´m going to see the movie this week! Hope I don´t figure out the twists, although I already caught myself mentally going through the list of most used twists. I think it comes from reading too much

Hope you had a great birthday!

Happy birthday!!!
I find I sometimes get bored if I read the book right after watching the movie, or visa versa. I usually have to give it awhile. I’m looking forward to seeing the film and have the book on reserve at the library, but if they’re pretty similar I might wait awhile to read it.

Happy Birthday! I hope you have a great day!

I am most likely going to wait for this to come out on DVD. I have heard that this is one movie that closely follows the book.

Happy Birthday Michelle!!

I think I’ll see the movie on this one, I don’t normally read these type of books either.
