Shutter island: Review CORRECT

Last Night I watched Shutter island; at first I didn't want to watched it because it was like 1am but Leo DiCaprio was the main character and... obviously I needed to watch the movie. 


Well,  "Shutter Island is a 2010 American "neo-noir" psychological thriller film directed by Martin Scorsese. The film is based on Dennis Lehane's 2003 novel of the same name" as wikipedia said. 

All starts with a dizzy Andrew Daniels sailing, he with Chuck are going to a prison-psychiatrist  called Ashecliffe Hospital because they are going to investigate the disappearance of  a patient called Rachel Solando who was incarcerated for drowning her three children. Their only clue is a note left by Solando: "The law of 4; who is 67?" They arrive just before a storm comes, impeding their return to the mainland for a few days. 

Andrew and his colleague Chuck keep investigating with Dr. John Cawley, the lead psychiatrist. Our police-man want to search into the staff reports but John doesn't allow them. 
They are told Ward C is off limits and the lighthouse has already been searched. One patient, during interrogation, secretly writes "RUN" in Daniels' notepad. Daniels starts to have migraine headaches, and has visions of his involvement in the Dachau liberation and nightmares of his wife, Dolores Chanal, who was killed by Andrew Laeddis. In one dream, Chanal tells Daniels that Solando is still on the island, Daniels later explains to Aule that locating Laeddis was a motive for taking the case. 

In Ward C Andrew meets George Noyce. Noyce warns Daniels that the doctors are doing experiments on the patients, they are taken to the lighthouse to be lobotomized. Noyce warns Daniels that everyone else on the island, including Aule, is playing a game designed by Daniels. Daniels come back with Aule and they go to the lighthouse. While they are climbing the cliffs, they become separated, and Daniels later sees a body on the rocks below. But when he is finally near the rocks the body is gone, also he finds a cave where a woman is hiding and says to be the real Solando. She says that she was a psychiatrist at the hospital until she discovered the experiments to develop mind control techniques. And because this discovery she was committed as a patient. Daniels returns to the hospital without Chuck.

Daniels breaks into the lighthouse. There, he finds Cawley waiting for him; he explains that Daniels i Leaedis, the most dangerous patient, he keeps saying that he was incarcerated in Ward C for murdering his wife after she killed their children in the lake. "Edward Daniels" and "Rachel Solando" are anagrams of "Andrew Laeddis" and "Dolores Chanal" ("the law of 4"), and he is the 67th patient at Ashecliffe. Also he discovers that the little girl from his nightmares is his little daughter, Rachel. The migraines Laeddis suffered were a result of being off his medication.

Laeddis awakes back in the hospital, and is asked questions regarding his personality by Cawley and Sheehan, which he answers as Laeddis. Then appeared a relaxed Laeddis on the hospital grounds with Sheehan (Chuck), he refers to Sheehan as Chuck and tells him they need to leave the island. And with this signs of regression, Laedis is taken by the guards to the lighthouse. Laeddis lets himself be taken, but asks Sheehan "Which would be worse – to live as a monster, or to die as a good man?", refering that he knows who is he but he prefers being lobotimatized and die (or live) thinking he was a good man than living without the operation thinking he was a monster. 

My opinion: 

I really fell in love with this movie, I loved every single detail and obviously the final phrase; he knows who is he but he prefers to be killed. 

I watched some movies like this; someone thinks to be another person because he suffered a  lot of traumas, for example After Life starring Liam Neeson.
