While watching the movie, I was intrigued by it, because it is themed around the mind control experiments the U.S. was doing right after World War 2. I've been doing a lot of reading on that subject, and I was surprised how accurately the film describes these practices. I was therefore very surprised about the ending Scorsese has given the movie.
Basically, it turns out that Dicaprio's character had made all the stuff up, and has created a second personality to play out this plot again and again. There is not a trace of mind control experimenting going on at the island, and the people who work there are actually very nice guys. What I don't understand is how Dicaprio's character would make up such an elaborate fantasy that is actually EXACTLY what went down at that time. All of it is fact, not fiction. Ex nazi's were employed by the U.S. government after WW2, to continue their mind control experiments (project Paperclip). They used all kinds of hallucinant drugs, conducted brain surgury, torture, and experimented on unknowing subjects. A lot of official government documents have been released to the public by now, covering projects like MK Ultra (look it up if you don't know it).
So, Scorsese is telling us that this guy kills his wife, and because of this trauma he creates a second personality. This is very plausible. What's strange (and nearly impossible imo), is that this guy has all his facts straight about these secret government projects, up to very specific details like the methods they use and the reasons why.
I think one commenter had an interesting take on the movie:
"...Throughout the film we are made to believe that the System (The Island/Ben kinsley and the other doctors) was doing something evil (Its a parallel to 911, cheney, bush, etc.). Of course in the end it was the "hero/rebel/911 Truther" that was the lunatic, and the system was actually fine. They want people to think they are crazy for questioning the system."

Great movie. Genius in fact. If you google Shutter Island ending explained, there is someone who wrote a blog and explains all kinds of things. He talks about how the movie had to be filmed in order to surprise someone watching it for the 1st time, and then tons of clues will make sense when you watch it again. He explains a lot of the clues, and man it just really goes to show how well this movie was done.
In the end he is finally convinced of who he really is, but that is just too much torture for him. That explains those last couple of lines to his therapist. He knows who he really is, but he doesn't want to live with that truth. He would rather be lobotomized.
Google that shit and read about it...you will have an even greater appreciation for the movie.
The movie had me fooled for a great while. I really thought he was an FBI agent and the island was gonna take him hostage.
