Movie ending explained: 

Shutter Island (2010) 

The movie, starring Leonardo DiCaprio, Emily Mortimer, Mark Ruffalo, and Ben Kingsley in the lead, narrates the tale of Edward Teddy Daniel, who arrives on Shutter Island to investigate a missing patient from a psychiatric ward. The 2010 movie is based on a best-selling novel of the same name by Dennis Lehane. Talking about Shutter Island ending, the writer and executive director of Shutter Island in an interview revealed that he felt that Teddy's (DiCaprio) last dialogue before going for lobotomy is a moment of sanity mixed with other delusions. Interestingly, in Shutter Island climax, the audience realises that DiCaprio was the convict of the case he was investigating, and the investigation was a facade to bring DiCaprio's character to normalcy. 

Parasite (2019)

The Academy Award Winner film narrates the tale of two families each from a different class of society. Parasite ending strings no hope among the audience that the class divide will ever end, which was interestingly one of the things director Bong Joon-Ho had in mind, he revealed in an interview. Parasite ending has the servant, who kills his master and injures his master's son, trapped in a secret chamber inside his master's house. Though the servant's son promises to free his father by earning money to purchase the house, the audience never sees that happening.
