I just got home from seeing this movie with my girlfriend...all i can say is wow. The entire movie makes you identify with Leo Dicaprios character who turns out to be the crazy one. He created an entire false life because he did not want to deal with the fact that his wife killed drowned his 3 kids and he killed her.
The messed up part is that you are so identified with the character, when you find out he is crazy, you actually feel crazy. Like maybe your whole life isnt what you think it is. Almost like the truman show. Like everything you think you know about this world has just been a blanket pulled over your eyes. You are living in an alternate reality looking through a glass window at yourself.
After it ended I stood up and felt very anxious which is not normal for me at all. My girlfriend who has had one panic attack in her life, went into a full blown state of anxiety. By the time we got to the car she was having trouble breathing. I have never had a panic attack but I had a slight feeling about what its like to have one. It must be earth shattering for people when this feeling completely takes you over. It is like another dimension.
I am just wondering if anyone else who saw this movie felt anything similar.
