I'm surprised there's no topic about this yet
Well, anyways, I went to the cinema yesterday with my family to see Shutter Island, the newest film by Martin Scorcese. I have to say, I didn't expect it was going to be so incredibly good, after watching a trailer I thought 'Hey, that could be a fun film, I might watch it sometime', and I'm happy I did. It's one of the best films I've seen in quite a while.
The story: two cops get sent to an island to investigate the case of a runaways patient of a mental hospital located on the island. Lots of things happen. You never know if what you're seeing is either reality, a dream, a hallucination, a flashback, etc. The open ending also makes you doubt whether it was all a lie or not, which is really good. I love it when I can't just say something happened, and when you can discuss the meaning of the scene afterwards.
The actors, the most well-known one being Leonardo DiCaprio, put down an amazing performance. They must've had a very hard time getting into the characters and the mindfuck story.
Most of the music is eerie, but it fits the film very well.
Overall, it's a must watch, if you haven't yet, do it now!
