To live as a monster or die as a good man

This is a quote from Shutter island movie. It started off slow, soon it grasp my attention and i totally stay awake to finish the show.

The ending was totally unexpected. Leonardo DiCaprio is brilliant in his role. There are times i wonder if the scenes protraying are his imagination or are they real. Great movie!

I guess the when Teddy say this above quote, most probably he is hinting he is sane, but choose to remain delusional to received whatever treatment he is getting.
