Shutter Island Review…
Why on earth did he climb down that 200 foot cliff!? Drama is set in 1954, U.S. Marshal Teddy Daniels is investigating the disappearance of a murderess who escaped from a hospital for the criminally insane and is presumed to be hiding on the remote Shutter Island.hahaha..Okay, if you haven’t seen the movie yet I might be spoiling it for you. First of all, I thought the movie was pretty dope…Another ‘Scorsazy’ film that lives up to it’s hype in my opinion. Adding to the equation was mega star Leonardo DiCaprio doing what he does…There are a few key parts I would like to point out… Obviously I would like to know why on earth the ‘Chuck’ let Teddy Daniels climb down that 200 ft cliff…I understand he was letting him play out his delusions…BUT…Teddy was 98% likley to die doing that wild man stunt!!
Another scene I liked was when Teddy was having one of his recurring dreams. In this dream Teddy was having a conversation with the head doctor…a few moments pass…then Teddy looks away for a moment…but when he looks back it isn’t the doctor anymore… it’s his partner ‘Chuck’. This part tripped me out…I’ve had similar things happen in my dreams just like this. For instance…I’d be talking to a friend of mine at the begining of the dream…then all of a sudden…he turns into one of my relatives by the end of the dream…hahaha. I’m like…this dream did not start with you homie…where’d you come from! But anyway, Teddy Daniels seemed like he was having Lucid dreams…
“A lucid dream is a dream in which the sleeper is aware that she or he is dreaming. When the dreamer is lucid, she or he can actively participate in and often manipulate the imaginary experiences in the dream environment. Lucid dreams can seem extremely real and vivid depending on a person’s level of self-awareness during the lucid dream”.
Overall I recommend watching this movie…It’s one of those movies that ties everything together at the very end…so enjoy the ride.
