SHUTTER ISLAND
Shutter Island is a 2010 American psychological thriller film directed by Martin Scorsese and written by Laeta Kalogridis, based on Dennis Lehane's 2003 novel of the same name. Leonardo DiCaprio stars as Deputy U.S. marshal who is investigating a psychiatric facility on Shutter Island after one of the patients goes missing. Mark Ruffalo plays his partner and fellow deputy marshal; Ben Kingsley is the facility's lead psychiatrist; Max von Sydow is a German doctor; and Michelle Williams is Daniels's wife. The movie was released on February 19, 2010 and received mostly positive reviews from critics.
Shutter Island is really hard to understand. Each scene provides a turn against their leads and compels them to look for more whilst searching in places we couldn't comprehend, including their minds. Leonardo DiCaprio and Mark Ruffalo feed off each other and supply great performances for their characters as expected. Each character brought so much dramatics and new questions to the movie, developing plot twists and controversy.
This is also a film we would recommend seeing twice. In fact, it is even better the second time. All those pieces of that puzzle you didn't catch the first time, you will the second. You see, we as the audience are first put in the shoes of Teddy. The second? Well, without giving too much away, let's just say you are put in someone else's shoes entirely during the second viewing.
We strongly recommend this film but we suggest watching it without any distraction like your mobile because you will miss a very small detail that will make you lose the plot and end up confused. It's a film that will make you question your own sanity, a film that will leave you breathless, a film that will leave you, and the main character, searching for answers.
