Shutter Island.

I just watched Shutter Island and I just have to say I definitely agree with Scott and how it relates to so many theorists - especially Benjamin- whose work we've studied.

To start with, there is the notion of realism. How do we know authenticity when we can no longer distinguish one from another?
I also thought about the Iron Cage and how those that "know" are the ones that are "damned."
Then there is the concern with truth. How do we know we're not insane?
