Set in 1954, Shutter Island follows U.S. Marshal Teddy Daniels (Leonardo DiCaprio) and his partner Chuck Aule (Mark Ruffalo) as they investigate the disappearance of a patient from Ashecliffe Hospital, a facility for the criminally insane.
The film is more than a mystery; it is a "cinematic hypnosis" that explores the depths of trauma, guilt, and the mind's capacity for self-deception. It features one of cinema's most famous "unreliable narrators," leading to a climax that forces viewers to question every detail they witnessed. The famous final line— “Which would be worse…to live as a monster or die a good man?” —elevated the film from a suspense thriller to a tragic meditation on reality.
Scorsese utilized a blend of historic locations and technical prowess to create the island’s suffocating atmosphere: Film Analysis: Shutter Island - Movie Parliament
