I watched this on a plane, and after i finished it, i walked into the plane bathroom and stared at myself in the mirror for like a full minute and half wondering if i'm real. Greatest movie of all time hands down. DiCaprio is a god.
This film is a masterpiece. A great study on mental illness. It gives the viewer a first person account on what it's like to be a person with a severe mental illness, in the broadest sense of the word. There is so much that we don't understand about how our minds work. How astoundingly complex and intricate the mind works and tries to fix itself.... This film ties this together. We don't know what is real and what isn't and this film makes us contemplate this, and this is why the film is so scary, and such a beautiful mindfuck. The lighthouse in the fog at the very end was the perfect symbol, but it's only a lighthouse to what we consider "normal." The fog is the only thing that is real.
I know it's shocking Leo only just got an Oscar this year!! This movie was so good. I first saw it when it came out and then I just watched it this week and it's amazing. Being older I understand it a lot more too now. It really is brilliant. Be a great movie to study at school
