Shutter Island is a thriller the United States in 2010, directed by Martin Scorsese one respected

directors in Hollywood and starring Leonardo DiCaprio as the main actor. The film is adapted
from the 2003 novel of the same name written by Dennis Lehane.
The first story begin In 1954, when two U.S. Marshals, Edward "Teddy" Daniels and his new
partner, Chuck Aule, travel to the Ashecliffe Hospital for the criminally insane on Shutter Island
located in Boston Harbor, as part of an investigation into the disappearance of patient Rachel
Solando, incarcerated for drowning her three children. Shortly after arrival, a storm prevents
their return to the mainland for several days. Daniels finds the staff confrontational: the lead
psychiatrist, Dr. John Cawley, refuses to hand over records of the hospital staff;
The unpleasant air and commodity of the Ashecliffe Hospital causes Daniels to start having
migraine headaches, waking visions of his involvement in the Dachau liberation reprisals, and
disturbing dreams of his wife, Dolores Chanal, who was killed in a fire set by a local arsonist
named Andrew Laeddis. In one dream, Chanal tells Daniels that Solando is still on the island, as
well as Laeddis, who also went missing months ago.
As Daniels and Aule continue their investigation, they find that Solando has been found by the
staff with no explanation. With neither the staff or patients helping, Daniels decides to break into
Ward C, and eventually meets George Noyce, another patient, in a solitary confinement. Noyce
warns Daniels that Ashecliffe is performing questionable experiments on its patients, and sends
the incurable to the lighthouse to be lobotomized, hence why they were banned from searching
the lighthouse. As Daniels leaves, Noyce asserts that everyone on the island, including Aule, is
playing in a game designed for Daniels.
Meanwhile, Daniels regroups with Aule and they make their way to the lighthouse, but as they
attempt to traverse the cliffs, they become separated. Daniels finds a woman hiding in a cave,
claiming to be the real Rachel Solando (Clarkson). The woman asserts she was a former
psychiatrist at Ashecliffe until she discovered the experiments with psychotropic medication in
an attempt to develop mind control techniques. When she attempted to alert the authorities, she
was committed as a patient to prevent her from escaping. Leaving the woman, Daniels finds no
sign of Aule, and returns to the hospital. Dr. Cawley claims that Daniels arrived alone, with no
evidence of Aule ever being there.
Determined but confused, Daniels returns to the lighthouse and breaks into it. At the top, he finds
Dr. Cawley waiting for him. Cawley explains that Andrew Laeddis is actually Daniels himself,
"[their] most dangerous patient", incarcerated in Ward C for murdering his manic depressive wife
after she drowned their children, thus revealing that "Solando" is actually his deceased wife.
According to Dr. Cawley, the events of the past several days have been designed to break
Laeddis' conspiracy-laden insanity by allowing him to play out the role of Daniels, an anagram
of his name. The hospital staff, including Dr. Sheehan posing as Aule and a nurse posing as
Rachel Solando, were part of the test, and the migraines that Laeddis suffered were withdrawal
symptoms from his medication. As memories of reality and realization that Daniels was only his
play, this overwhelms Laeddis, and he faints.

Laeddis awakes in the hospital, under watch of Dr. Cawley and Sheehan. When questioned,
Laeddis tells the truth in a coherent manner, which satisfies the doctors as a sign of progression.
Nevertheless, Dr. Cawley notes that they had achieved this state nine months before but Laeddis
had quickly regressed, and further warns that this will be Laeddis' last chance to redeem himself.
Some time later, Laeddis relaxes on the hospital grounds with Dr. Sheehan, but calls him
"Chuck" and says they need to get off the island. Sheehan nods to an observing Cawley, who
gestures to the orderlies towards Laeddis. As he is about to be taken away, Laeddis asks Dr.
Sheehan, "Which would be worse? To live as a monster, or die as a good man?", and then calmly
leaves with the orderlies to be lobotomised.

This movie storyline certainly confuse the audience and maybe we must see the
movie twice or more to know the storyline because the storyline in this movie make
us as the audience think hard how to end of the story and makes us wonder how the
actual plot of the movie and what really happened to the teddy. The movie also got
a pretty good rating is 8.1 out of imdb, so this movie is very good and I
recommended this movie for everyone who like movie that mengandung teka-teki
and the twist ending storyline .
