Shutter Island



Today I saw Shutter Island. The movie was pretty gripping and visually very well done but I didn't like the ending. Mostly, I just don't like the concept. But another reason it bugged me is because I actually wrote a story with the exact same concept when I was in high school. I even submitted it to a couple mystery magazines but was rejected. I stopped because I was told the concept was cliché and because I lost interest in short stories in general. But then came this movie. They stole my story!

Okay, not really, more like they used a very common mystery plot device. Otherwise the stories are pretty different. Unfortunately, I can't find my old story, but if I do I'll definitely put it up.
