Remember, we are studying the films primarily from a textual point of view, so you will need to consider the following:
Representation
Narrative
Genre
Alongside this you should also consider various cinematic techniques which Martin Scorsese uses to convey 'meaning' to the audience, including mise en scene (setting, location, lighting, costumes, character placement, performance, props), cinematography (use of the camera, including angles, framing and movement), sound (music, effects, dialogue) and editing (pace and effect).
You might also want to consider the role of the audience in the viewing of the film, particularly how we are being manipulated with the overall narrative, particularly the final act and the enigmatic last line of dialogue.
1. "You Have To Let Me Go" - the dream sequence between Teddy and Dolores
2. "Could You Stop That?" - Teddy interrogates a patient regarding the disappearance of Rachel Solando
3. "What If They Wanted You Here?" - Teddy tells Chuck that they need to leave the island before its too late
4. "I Buried You" - Rachel believes Teddy is her dead husband, Jim
5. "A Rat in a Maze" - Teddy talks to George Noyce in the sinister Ward C about the possible conspiracy happening at the hospital
6. "My Name is Edward Daniels" - Teddy refuses to believe the story Doctor Cawley tells him about Andrew Laediss
8. "Live as a Monster or Die as a Free Man?" - the final words of Teddy Daniels...but what do they really mean?
