Shutter Island (2010)
Like mind blowing twists? Do not miss this one
Shutter Island is a psychological thriller that keeps its audience riveted throughout its entire duration. It was made by one of my favorite directors, Martin Scorsese, known for Taxi Driver, Goodfellas, The Departed, The Irishman, etc. The movie takes place in 1954, on a remote island named Shutter, which has a very specific purpose. It's an asylum for the criminally insane. The main character in this movie is Teddy Daniels (played by Leonardo DiCaprio), a U.S. Marshal, who is assigned to go to the island with his recently assigned partner, Chuck Aule (played by Mark Ruffalo), to investigate the disappearance of a murderer who escaped from a hospital for the criminally insane. The atmosphere of the movie is pretty unique, dark and thrilling and the island itself does a great job of making you feel trapped, stuck and with no way out of it. This is definitely not a movie you play just so you can fall asleep easier. Its plot is pretty complex but not too confusing and I propose you watch it carefully because every little detail matters. The ending has a mind blowing twist and could probably leave you thinking for a while. My suggestion is to watch it more than once, it's a whole another experience and it's much easier to connect all the puzzle pieces. Perspective is really important in this movie. The audience is put in the shoes of Teddy, but watching it the second time, that might not be the case. It's a movie where you, and also the main character, are trying to stay sane while searching for answers. If all of this mentioned above is something that interests you and makes you curious, you might want to check this one out. I highly recommend that you do.
