Throughout the movie, however, things start to unravel. As we move through the film, the main character seems to be unraveling a possible conspiracy. This is all a ruse and it all comes together perfectly in the end.
First off, the character starts to notice strange things happening around him, like the world isn’t right. Next, we see what would suggest a cover-up by the doctors of the facility. People in the film also seem to be wary of the main protagonist as time goes on. Therefore, it would also appear that everyone is in on whatever is happening there. Seeing things from the main characters perspective makes us feel the same way he does. Eventually, we see things completely unravel and the truth comes out.

This is where the massive spoilers really come into play. By the end of the film, we learn the truth about the titular Shutter Island and the main character.
