20 Things You Somehow Missed In Shutter Island
11. Teddy's Jacket Is Too Big
Here's something that basically leaps out at even fairly unobservant viewers from the outset: doesn't it seem like Teddy's jacket is a bit too big for him?
While on an initial viewing some might simply dismiss it as a mistake of the movie's costume department or an indication of Teddy's own sloppiness, it's actually an incredibly straight-forward hint that Teddy isn't really who he's presented as.
Teddy looks like somebody playing dress-up because that's precisely who he is - evidently the Ashecliffe staff couldn't be bothered to size him up and buy a new jacket, so just used whatever clothing they had lying around for the experiment.
