Movie Review - Shutter Island
15 years ago
Beginning
I've decided that I'm going to start writing reviews of the movies I go to see... these will be long, or at least detailed, without giving anything away as to the true nature of the movies that are out.
Shutter Island on a scale of 100 I'd have to give it a well... between an 80 and an 85.
It was an amazing movie that starts out telling that one of the patients has just "vanished" from her room. It completely jumps around, from one thing to the other. Sometimes it was really hard to tell whether or not the main actor was dreaming or was still in reality. None-the-less it was a perfect blend of psychosis and suspense. It wasn't really much of a horror film, but it did make me feel a bit fearful at points, just little parts where the people were just utterly creepy and so secretive that no one understood what the truth was. The movie itself is truth, well in a sense of the word. It utters the monotony of life and the ever unknowing of the people "outside the walls." It spoke of an insanity that prevailed in many parts of the human brain. The complete unwillingness of humans to understand right from wrong.
Leonardo DiCaprio was actually really good in this movie, and i must agree that him and the actress who played his wife fit perfectly together. She was the stubborn knife in his back that seemed to drive him insane throughout the movie, telling him to let her go but not letting him...
For what it's worth this movie was very original, but reallllllly long! Although the movie was really good it was too drawn out. The plot was everywhere and sometimes it was a confusing mess, but it did fit together in the end.
I do recommend seeing this movie if you still have the chance. If you don't mind sitting for a while then go for it! The twists and turns are amazing and the movie will continually keep you guessing.
GO SEE IT!
