Shutter Island

A recent film that I watched and really liked, would have to be, Shutter Island. It is a psychological mystery-thriller film directed by Martin Scorsese. It is based on Dennis Lehane's 2003 novel of the same name. When I saw the trailer for this film I knew that I just had to watch it. This film takes place in 1954. Teddy Daniels and his partner Chuck, go on a ferry to Shutter Island, a mental hospital housing the criminally insane. They have been asked to investigate the disappearance of Rachel Solando. As Teddy asks questions to the doctor, he beings to think that the people on the island are not telling him the whole truth. He decides to take charge and figure out what is really go on. The whole idea for this film is so creative, even though it is based off a book. It had a unique way of tricking the audience into what they were watching and believing in what the main character was saying. At the end of the film it is a total shock to find out what is really going on. This film is filled with a twist at the end that you won't believe coming. I, watched this movie on a stormy night, and I couldn't even sleep well because all I kept dreaming was about the film. This is one my favourite movies and luckily I own it so I get to see it over and over again anytime I want to.
