Review:
Shutter Island. A film that will divide the film community. A film that will leave many upset and hated it. A film has completely separated the critics. A film that messes with you. And no one likes to be messed with. And that is exactly where it goes. Think Im contradicting myself? Shutter Island is one of the most well-developed psychological thrillers to come by since Silence of the Lambs. And it's no coincidence both were brilliantly written novels. Shutter Island is adapted from a book written by Dennis Lehane (wrote gone baby gone and Mystic River). It is a book full of twists and turns that will leave the reader dizzy. And that's what makes his film counterpart to the fullest. Martin Scorsese helms the director's chair, in a movie where he is freer than ever before. This is Scorsese at his most unrestrained. Marty takes what he learned from the great movies of the past and put it in her. The master of suspense Alfred Hitchcock's influence is everywhere you look in this movie. And it's no wonder, considering Scorsese even showed one of his greatest works to the crew: Vertigo. And many of these ideas are present in Shutter Island, the rock scene scream Hitchcock. This is a film that creeps and hills, and is full of dark corners. And it is all compounded by the coming storm that looms over the island. This is a classic film noir. The story follows Teddy, a Federal Marshall and his partner Chuck (played by DiCaprio and Ruffulo). They go to this mysterious island shrouded in fog examine the trigger. From these initial stages, Marty installed a dark and creepy premise. Almost the entire film contains this story as Teddy desperately trying to find the truth he seeks. Teddy is shown as a frightened man, a man of war and violence as portrayed in various flashbacks. These will come to be more important as the story progresses. We follow Teddy on his search through every dark corridor and dangerous confrontations. Slowly, we get the pieces to the puzzle, but the audience did not even notice it. For us, that Teddy is blind. For the moment at least. It is for this reason that the exciting conclusion will leave many surprised. But, see, that's where this thriller becomes something more. We as the audience is placed in Teddy's shoes, and we feel everything he feels. It is a complete assault on the senses, and it works great. This is a movie you must watch carefully. There is another thing that sets this, it is horror movie that makes you really think. In this day and age, I'm not surprised someone found it terrible esp. after their brains have turned to mush by these new segments filled with horror movies. Scorsese's ultimate goal here is to wake you up. And believe me, you probably will not like it. This is also a movie I would recommend to look again. In fact, it's even better the second time. All these pieces of the puzzle you have not caught the first time, you will be the other. You see, we as the audience first put in the shoes of Teddy. The second? Well, without giving too much away, lets just say that you put in someone elses shoes at all during the second view. Shutter Island. A movie that will make you question your own sanity. A film that takes your breath away. A film that re-ignited the thriller genre. A film that will leave you and the main character, to look for answers. 10 of 10 CLS
