Shutter Island

Shutter Island: 2010

IMDB: 8.1

Cast: Leonardo Di Caprio (as Teddy Daniels), Mark Ruffalo (as Chuck Aule)

The atmosphere of the movie was the same right from the beginning. It was all moody, dark and strange like something bad was gonna happen any second. It started as two US marshals (Teddy Daniels and Chuck Aule) investigating a place called "ash cliff" because of the strange absence of a patient there. Ash cliff is a place where they keep mentally ill criminals. Rachel Solando, the patient who went missing, suddenly appeared without any sign of running away. Teddy suspected strange things such as Rachel having no shoes while she ran away and no mark on her feet. Since the weather was bad the Marshals decided to stay there for a while. Teddy explained his partner how he had been searching for Ash cliff and found out they've been doing lobotomy to the patients. That was the reason he took this case in the first place. His partner thought it was too easy. once he started to find out about ash cliff, all of a sudden there was a strange case. what if all of these were an act just to prevent Teddy spreading the information about ash cliff to the world? They try to make Teddy go insane by acting as if he was insane. This way, they can apply lobotomy on him and prevent the secret informations to be known. I'm not gonna tell the most important part of the movie just to not spoil it :)


Personal Thoughts: I first saw this movie when I was 10 but couldn't watch it because I used to get scared so easily. I was in 8th grade when I first got the courage to actually watch it and I loved it because of the whole atmosphere and the ending. I personally love when it rains and the island were ash cliff was (shutter island) was so cool like there was just one building on the whole island (actually it looked more like a castle. It was the asylum)  and the rest of it was all forest. The Rachel Solando case was mysterious also she was a scary character herself. Still I liked that she was scary haha:) Leonardo Di Caprio was a perfect fit to the character. The ending just mixes everything up and you find out nothing you've seen in the movie was true.
