Shutter Island
- Shutter Island (2010) is a psychological thriller directed by Oscar-winning directed Martin Scorsese and stars Leonardo DiCaprio as the lead role.
- Set in 1954, the story follows the story of Teddy Daniels, a U.S Marshall investigating the escape of a criminally insane murderess who has escaped the hospital in which she was being held, and is presumed to be still on the island.
There is heavy use of rain in Shutter Island using pathetic fallacy is a typical trait of a thriller film, using it to convey a desperate atmosphere |
- "Teddy's shrewd investigating skills soon provide a promising lead, but the hospital refuses him access to records he suspects would break the case wide open. As a hurricane cuts off communication with the mainland, more dangerous criminals "escape" in the confusion, and the puzzling, improbable clues multiply, Teddy begins to doubt everything - his memory, his partner, even his own sanity." - alfiehitchie - IMDB
