Which would be worse, to live as a monster or to die as a good man?
I have finally seen one of my favorite books turned into a movie: Shutter Island.
The book blew me away when I read it. The ending was so fucking brilliant that I was like WTF! ;)
The book is written by Dennis Lehane. The man is on my list as favorite authors. I have read almost all of his books and not one of them is bad.
Shutter Island is his best work but also Mystic River. The man has such a way with words...*sigh* So beautiful...

The ending of all movies are so fucking brilliant. I wish I could come up with something like that.
Best ending ever belongs to Shutter Island with this dialogue:
Chuck Aule: How we doing this morning?
Teddy Daniels: Good, and you?
Chuck Aule: Can't complain.
Teddy Daniels: So what's our next move?
Chuck Aule: You tell me.
Teddy Daniels: I gotta get off this rock, Chuck. Get back to the mainland. Whatever the hell's going on here, it's bad. Don't worry partner, they're not gonna catch us.
Chuck Aule: That's right, we're too smart for em.
Teddy Daniels: Yeah, we are, aren't we. You know, this place makes me wonder.
Chuck Aule: Yeah, what's that, boss?
Teddy Daniels: Which would be worse, to live as a monster or to die as a good man?
Chuck Aule: Teddy.
