SPOILER ALERT!
Well, I went to go see this movie the other day with a friend.
As you guys probably know, it really screws with your head. It leaves you with a lot of questions and a huge gap for different answers.
There are three possible solutions or answers:
1.The Conspiracy Theory
Teddy Daniels (played by Leonardo DiCaprio) is sane at the start but driven insane by the asylum to prevent him from uncovering their experiments.
2.The Rat in a Maze Theory
Teddy Daniels is insane at the start and simply driven more insane by the asylum as part of their experiments.
3.The Ben Kingsley Is Telling the Truth Theory
Teddy Daniels is insane, gets sane at the end, finds he can't handle his guilt, fakes a relapse in order to get a lobotomy and find some peace.
What makes the most sense? What did you get from the film?
I personally believe the conspiracy theory but I have hear so many different versions and keep changing my mind. It is driving me crazy.
