Shutter Island
I should say up front the one disclaimer that makes me a different reviewer than most: I’ve read the novel already. This definitely changed my perception about a few elements of the story.
Basically this story focuses just about one cgharacter, Teddy which was played by Leonardo DiCaprio. This character have been accused of being sort of mentally damaged people, since he killed his wife. But i like the way the narrator set the story, that the story start from he's being a detective who went into an island to investigate a missing crazy patient. At the end he do realize that he's also one of them.
There are a few problems. Mostly, the story loses momentum midway through when all the clues seem to run short, and seems to be replaced by several dialog-sessions, which i think is kind of too long. Don’t get me wrong, the semi-confrontational scenes act as platforms for great performances, but they don’t work tonally or to advance the story any. It would be better if the dialogue has been shortened and just be moved to other scene.
Theres a relation with the real world, which this guy experiencing a mental disorder, because he got stressed of the incindent that just happen to his family, and after what he did to his wife.
