Shutter Island

Shutter Island is a much watch. The story is such that you’re sure to watch it till the end. It’s just amazing. I think it’s the best movie I’ve seen this year. Leonardo & others have all acted superb. The story revolved around a US Marshal finding a missing person at Shutter Island where they keep the criminally insane at the hospital. They are basically all dangerous criminals & this movie also highlights how mental illness can make you a monster.

One of the doctors says: Wounds create monsters & you’re wounded.

I think this dialogue is not just crucial, but also very deep. These patients could imagine a story that hasn’t even happened & they take it as the whole truth.

You decipher the real story in the end. All along you think, something else is happening whereas the real story takes you on a totally different level. The twist is that Leonardo is not a Federal Marshall anymore, but a mentally disturbed officer who has spent 2 years at this hospital. Right from the outset, he suffers from hallucinations, flashbacks & weird dreams. Anyhow the credit goes to Martin Scorsese for creating such a great asylum drama & Leonardo, of course, never disappoints his fans.

I also liked Case 39 & Edge of Darkness. Although Edge of Darkness is depressing, but Case 39 is fun to watch, if you like horror element. Percy Jackson & the Olympians is a light movie & Uma Thurman plays the role of Medusa & she looks just great. I did enjoy watching it.
