'''''Shutter Island''''' is a 2010 American [[neo-noir]] [[psychological thriller]] film directed by [[Martin Scorsese]] and written by [[Laeta Kalogridis]], based on [[Dennis Lehane]]'s 2003 [[Shutter Island|novel of the same name]]. [[Leonardo DiCaprio]] stars as [[United States Marshals Service|U.S. Marshal]] Edward "Teddy" Daniels who is investigating a psychiatric facility on Shutter Island after one of the patients goes missing. [[Mark Ruffalo]] plays his partner officer, [[Ben Kingsley]] is the facility's lead psychiatrist, and [[Michelle Williams (actress)|Michelle Williams]] is Daniels' wife. The film received generally favorable reviews from critics and grossed over $294 million at the box office.<ref name="BoxOfficeMojo" />
==Plot==
In 1954, [[United States Marshals Service|U.S. Marshals]] Edward "Teddy" Daniels and his new partner Chuck Aule travel to the Ashecliffe Hospital for the [[Mental Disorder (Insanity) Defense|criminally insane]] on Shutter Island in [[Boston Harbor]]. They are investigating the disappearance of patient Rachel Solando, who was incarcerated for drowning her three children. Their only clue is a cryptic note found hidden in Solando's room: "The law of 4; who is 67?" They arrive just before a storm hits, preventing their return to the mainland for a few days.
Daniels and Aule find the staff confrontational. Dr. John Cawley, the lead psychiatrist, refuses to turn over records, and they learn that Solando's doctor Lester Sheehan left the island on vacation immediately after Solando disappeared. They are given access to the hospital, but they are told that Ward C is off limits and that the lighthouse has already been searched. While being interviewed, one patient secretly writes the word "RUN" in Daniels' notepad. Daniels starts to have [[migraine]] headaches from the hospital's atmosphere and experiences waking visions of his involvement in the [[Dachau liberation reprisals]]. He has disturbing dreams of his wife Dolores Chanal, who was killed in a fire set by a local arsonist named Andrew Laeddis. In one instance, she tells him that Solando is still on the island somewhere—as is Laeddis, who everyone claims was never there to begin with. Daniels later explains to Aule that locating Laeddis was an ulterior personal motive for taking the case.
During their investigation, Daniels and Aule find that Solando has abruptly resurfaced with no explanation as to her former whereabouts or how she escaped. This prompts Daniels to break into the restricted Ward C. There he encounters George Noyce, a patient in solitary confinement. Noyce warns him that the doctors are performing questionable experiments on the patients, some of whom are taken to the lighthouse to be [[Lobotomy|lobotomized]]. Noyce warns Daniels that everyone else on the island is playing an elaborate game specifically designed for Daniels—including his partner Aule.
Daniels regroups with Aule and is determined to investigate the lighthouse. They become separated while climbing the cliffs toward it, and Daniels later sees what he believes to be Aule's body on the rocks below. By the time he climbs down, however, the body has disappeared, but he finds a cave where he discovers a woman in hiding who claims to be the real Rachel Solando. She states that she is a former psychiatrist at the hospital who discovered the experiments with [[Psychoactive drug|psychotropic medication]] and trans-orbital lobotomy in an attempt to develop [[mind control]] techniques. Before she could report her findings to the authorities, however, she was forcibly committed to Ashecliffe as a patient. Daniels returns to the hospital, but finds no evidence of Aule ever being there.
Daniels is convinced that Aule was taken to the lighthouse; he breaks into it only to discover Cawley calmly waiting there for him. Cawley explains that Daniels is actually Andrew Laeddis, their "most dangerous patient" incarcerated in Ward C for murdering his [[manic depressive]] wife Dolores Chanal after she drowned their children. Edward Daniels and Rachel Solando are [[anagram]]s of Andrew Laeddis and Dolores Chanal; furthermore, the little girl from Laeddis' recurring dreams is his daughter Rachel.
According to Cawley, the events of the past several days have been designed to break Laeddis' [[Conspiracy (crime)|conspiracy]]-laden insanity by allowing him to play out the role of Daniels. The hospital staff were part of the test, including Dr. Sheehan posing as Aule and a nurse posing as Rachel Solando. The migraines that Laeddis suffered were withdrawal symptoms from his medication, as were the hallucinations of the "real Rachel Solando". Overwhelmed, Laeddis faints.
Laeddis awakens in the hospital under watch of Cawley and Sheehan. When questioned, he tells the truth in a coherent manner, which satisfies the doctors as a sign of progression. Nevertheless, Cawley notes that they had achieved this state nine months before but Laeddis had quickly regressed, and further warns that this will be his last chance to redeem himself.
Some time later, Laeddis relaxes on the hospital grounds with Dr. Sheehan, but he calls him "Chuck" and says that they need to leave the island. Sheehan shakes his head to an observing Cawley, who gestures to the orderlies towards Laeddis. Laeddis asks Dr. Sheehan if it is worse to live as a monster or die as a good man, and is then led away by the orderlies.

==Production==
The rights to [[Dennis Lehane]]'s novel ''[[Shutter Island]]'' were first optioned to [[Columbia Pictures]] in 2003. Columbia did not act on the option and it lapsed back to Lehane who sold it to Phoenix Pictures. Phoenix hired [[Laeta Kalogridis]] and together they developed the film for a year. Director [[Martin Scorsese]] and actor [[Leonardo DiCaprio]] were both attracted to the project.<ref name="Team">{{cite journal | first=Michael | last=Fleming | url=http://www.variety.com/article/VR1117974525.html | title=Scorsese, DiCaprio team for 'Island' | journal=[[Variety (magazine)|Variety]] | date=October 22, 2007 | accessdate=January 8, 2008}}</ref> Production began on March 6, 2008.<ref name="Trio">{{cite journal | first=Carly | last=Mayberry | url=http://www.hollywoodreporter.com/hr/content_display/film/news/e3i2d43ffe73a1c42a7d273af0e7f838bb0 |title=Trio of stars in for 'Shutter' | journal=[[The Hollywood Reporter]] | date=February 26, 2008 | accessdate=February 27, 2008}}</ref>
Lehane's inspiration for the hospital and island setting was [[Long Island (Massachusetts)|Long Island]] in [[Boston Harbor]], which he had visited during the [[Northeastern United States blizzard of 1978|Blizzard of 1978]] as a child with his uncle and family.<ref name="PATRIOTLEDGER02192010">Symkus, Ed, [http://www.patriotledger.com/article/20100219/NEWS/302199983/0/SEARCH "Real local flavor on display in 'Shutter Island'"], ''The Patriot Ledger'', February 19, 2010</ref>
''Shutter Island'' was mainly filmed in [[Massachusetts]], with [[Taunton, Massachusetts|Taunton]] being the location for the World War II flashback scenes.<ref>{{cite news | first=Kyle | last=Alspach | url=http://www.patriotledger.com/archive/x1473821996 | title=Raynham native plays Nazi soldier executed in Scorsese film | work=[[The Patriot Ledger]] | date=March 8, 2008 | accessdate=May 21, 2008 | deadurl=yes | archiveurl=https://archive.is/20120529193000/http://www.patriotledger.com/archive/x1473821996 | archivedate=May 29, 2012 | df=mdy-all }}</ref> Old industrial buildings in Taunton's [[Whittenton Mills Complex]] replicated the [[Dachau concentration camp]].<ref>{{cite news |first=Vicki-Ann |last=Downing |url=http://www.enterprisenews.com/news/x349780798 |title=Film adaptation of Lehane’s novel a boon to the region |publisher=EnterpriseNews.com |date=March 8, 2008 |accessdate=May 21, 2008 |deadurl=yes |archiveurl=https://archive.is/20120730173652/http://www.enterprisenews.com/news/x349780798 |archivedate=July 30, 2012 |df=mdy-all }}</ref> The old [[Medfield State Hospital]] in [[Medfield, Massachusetts]] was another key location. Cawley's office scenes were the second floor of the chapel during the late evening. Lights were shone through the windows to make it look like it was daytime. The crew painted the hospital's brick walls to look like plywood. This served the dual purpose of acting as scenery and blocking the set from view of a local road. The crew wanted to film at the old [[Worcester State Hospital]], but demolition of surrounding buildings made it impossible. [[Borderland State Park]] in [[Easton, Massachusetts]] was used for the cabin scene. The film used [[Peddocks Island]] as a setting for the story's island. [[East Point Military Reservation|East Point]], in [[Nahant, Massachusetts]] was the location for the lighthouse scenes.<ref>{{cite news | first=Adam | last=Riglian | title=DiCaprio, Scorsese filming on Peddocks Island | url=http://www.patriotledger.com/entertainment/x707004175 | work=[[The Patriot Ledger]] | date=April 14, 2008 | accessdate=May 21, 2008 | deadurl=yes | archiveurl=https://web.archive.org/web/20081027110254/http://www.patriotledger.com/entertainment/x707004175 | archivedate=October 27, 2008 | df=mdy-all }}</ref> Filming ended on July 2, 2008.<ref>{{cite news | first=Gayle | last=Fee |author2=Laura Raposa | title=DiCaprio, crew cap ‘Ashecliffe’ shoot | work=[[Boston Herald]] | url=http://www.bostonherald.com/track/inside_track/view/2008_07_03_needs_headline_2 | date=July 3, 2008 | accessdate=July 17, 2008}}</ref>

''Shutter Island: Music from the Motion Picture'' was released on February 2, 2010, by [[Rhino Records]]. The film does not have an original score. Instead, Scorsese's longtime collaborator [[Robbie Robertson]] created an ensemble of previously recorded material to use in the film.
According to a statement on Paramount's website: "The collection of [[modern classical music]] [on the soundtrack album] was hand-selected by Robertson, who is proud of its scope and sound. 'This may be the most outrageous and beautiful soundtrack I've ever heard.'

==Genre==
''Shutter Island'' is a [[period piece]] with nods to different films in the [[film noir]] and [[Horror film|horror]] genres, paying particular homage to [[Alfred Hitchcock]]'s works.<ref>{{cite web |url=http://www.pastemagazine.com/articles/2010/02/shutter-island-review.html |title=Shutter Island Review |last=Saba |first=Michael |date=February 19, 2010 |work=[[Paste (magazine)|Paste Magazine]] |quote=Scorsese gets his Hitchcock on. |accessdate=October 12, 2010}}</ref> Scorsese stated in an interview that the main reference to Teddy Daniels was [[Dana Andrews]]' character in ''[[Laura (1944 film)|Laura]]'', and that he was also influenced by several very low-budget 1940s [[zombie movies]] made by [[Val Lewton]].<ref>{{cite web |url=http://www.telegraph.co.uk/culture/film/filmmakersonfilm/7366950/Martin-Scorsese-interview-for-Shutter-Island.html |title=Martin Scorsese interview for Shutter Island |last=Brown |first=Mick |date=March 7, 2010 |work=[[The Daily Telegraph]] |quote='The key film I showed Leo and Mark,’ Scorsese says, 'was Laura—Dana Andrews, the way he wears his tie, and the way he walks through a room, and he doesn’t even look at anybody; he’s always playing that little game.

There have been differing opinions over the ending of the film in which Laeddis asks Dr. Sheehan, "[W]hich would be worse – to live as a monster, or to die as a good man?", a line that does not appear in the book. Professor [[James Gilligan]] of New York University was Scorsese's psychiatric adviser, and he said that Laeddis' last words mean: "I feel too guilty to go on living. I'm not going to actually commit suicide, but I'm going to vicariously commit suicide by handing myself over to these people who're going to lobotomize me."<ref name="Cox-Guardian">{{cite news | last=Cox | first=David | title=Shutter Island's ending explained | url=https://www.theguardian.com/film/filmblog/2010/jul/29/shutter-island-ending | newspaper=The Guardian | accessdate=May 21, 2012 | date=July 29, 2010}}</ref> Dennis Lehane however said, "Personally, I think he has a momentary flash.… It's just one moment of sanity mixed in the midst of all the other delusions."<ref name="Cox-Guardian" />

'''''Shutter Island''''' is a 2010 American [[neo-noir]] [[psychological thriller]] film directed by [[Martin Scorsese]] and written by [[Laeta Kalogridis]], based on [[Dennis Lehane]]'s 2003 [[Shutter Island|novel of the same name]]. [[Leonardo DiCaprio]] stars as [[United States Marshals Service|U.S. Marshal]] Edward "Teddy" Daniels who is investigating a psychiatric facility on Shutter Island after one of the patients goes missing. [[Mark Ruffalo]] plays his partner officer, [[Ben Kingsley]] is the facility's lead psychiatrist, and [[Michelle Williams (actress)|Michelle Williams]] is Daniels' wife. The film received generally favorable reviews from critics and grossed over $294 million at the box office.<ref name="BoxOfficeMojo" />
==Plot==
In 1954, [[United States Marshals Service|U.S. Marshals]] Edward "Teddy" Daniels and his new partner Chuck Aule travel to the Ashecliffe Hospital for the [[Mental Disorder (Insanity) Defense|criminally insane]] on Shutter Island in [[Boston Harbor]]. They are investigating the disappearance of patient Rachel Solando, who was incarcerated for drowning her three children. Their only clue is a cryptic note found hidden in Solando's room: "The law of 4; who is 67?" They arrive just before a storm hits, preventing their return to the mainland for a few days.
Daniels and Aule find the staff confrontational. Dr. John Cawley, the lead psychiatrist, refuses to turn over records, and they learn that Solando's doctor Lester Sheehan left the island on vacation immediately after Solando disappeared. They are given access to the hospital, but they are told that Ward C is off limits and that the lighthouse has already been searched. While being interviewed, one patient secretly writes the word "RUN" in Daniels' notepad. Daniels starts to have [[migraine]] headaches from the hospital's atmosphere and experiences waking visions of his involvement in the [[Dachau liberation reprisals]]. He has disturbing dreams of his wife Dolores Chanal, who was killed in a fire set by a local arsonist named Andrew Laeddis. In one instance, she tells him that Solando is still on the island somewhere—as is Laeddis, who everyone claims was never there to begin with. Daniels later explains to Aule that locating Laeddis was an ulterior personal motive for taking the case.
During their investigation, Daniels and Aule find that Solando has abruptly resurfaced with no explanation as to her former whereabouts or how she escaped. This prompts Daniels to break into the restricted Ward C. There he encounters George Noyce, a patient in solitary confinement. Noyce warns him that the doctors are performing questionable experiments on the patients, some of whom are taken to the lighthouse to be [[Lobotomy|lobotomized]]. Noyce warns Daniels that everyone else on the island is playing an elaborate game specifically designed for Daniels—including his partner, Mr. Dildoterje.
Daniels regroups with Aule and is determined to investigate the lighthouse. They become separated while climbing the cliffs toward it, and Daniels later sees what he believes to be Aule's body on the rocks below. By the time he climbs down, however, the body has disappeared, but he finds a cave where he discovers a woman in hiding who claims to be the real Rachel Solando. She states that she is a former psychiatrist at the hospital who discovered the experiments with [[Psychoactive drug|psychotropic medication]] and trans-orbital lobotomy in an attempt to develop [[mind control]] techniques. Before she could report her findings to the authorities, however, she was forcibly committed to Ashecliffe as a patient. Daniels returns to the hospital, but finds no evidence of Aule ever being there.
Daniels is convinced that Aule was taken to the lighthouse; he breaks into it only to discover Cawley calmly waiting there for him. Cawley explains that Daniels is actually Andrew Laeddis, their "most dangerous patient" incarcerated in Ward C for murdering his [[manic depressive]] wife Dolores Chanal after she drowned their children. Edward Daniels and Rachel Solando are [[anagram]]s of Andrew Laeddis and Dolores Chanal; furthermore, the little girl from Laeddis' recurring dreams is his daughter Rachel.
According to Cawley, the events of the past several days have been designed to break Laeddis' [[Conspiracy (crime)|conspiracy]]-laden insanity by allowing him to play out the role of Daniels. The hospital staff were part of the test, including Dr. Sheehan posing as Aule and a nurse posing as Rachel Solando. The migraines that Laeddis suffered were withdrawal symptoms from his medication, as were the hallucinations of the "real Rachel Solando". Overwhelmed, Laeddis faints.
Laeddis awakens in the hospital under watch of Cawley and Sheehan. When questioned, he tells the truth in a coherent manner, which satisfies the doctors as a sign of progression. Nevertheless, Cawley notes that they had achieved this state nine months before but Laeddis had quickly regressed, and further warns that this will be his last chance to redeem himself.
Some time later, Laeddis relaxes on the hospital grounds with Dr. Sheehan, but he calls him "Chuck" and says that they need to leave the island. Sheehan shakes his head to an observing Cawley, who gestures to the orderlies towards Laeddis. Laeddis asks Dr. Sheehan if it is worse to live as a monster or die as a good man, and is then led away by the orderlies.

==Production==
The rights to [[Dennis Lehane]]'s novel ''[[Shutter Island]]'' were first optioned to [[Columbia Pictures]] in 2003. Columbia did not act on the option and it lapsed back to Lehane who sold it to Phoenix Pictures. Phoenix hired [[Laeta Kalogridis]] and together they developed the film for a year. Director [[Martin Scorsese]] and actor [[Leonardo DiCaprio]] were both attracted to the project.<ref name="Team">{{cite journal | first=Michael | last=Fleming | url=http://www.variety.com/article/VR1117974525.html | title=Scorsese, DiCaprio team for 'Island' | journal=[[Variety (magazine)|Variety]] | date=October 22, 2007 | accessdate=January 8, 2008}}</ref> Production began on March 6, 2008.<ref name="Trio">{{cite journal | first=Carly | last=Mayberry | url=http://www.hollywoodreporter.com/hr/content_display/film/news/e3i2d43ffe73a1c42a7d273af0e7f838bb0 |title=Trio of stars in for 'Shutter' | journal=[[The Hollywood Reporter]] | date=February 26, 2008 | accessdate=February 27, 2008}}</ref>
Lehane's inspiration for the hospital and island setting was [[Long Island (Massachusetts)|Long Island]] in [[Boston Harbor]], which he had visited during the [[Northeastern United States blizzard of 1978|Blizzard of 1978]] as a child with his uncle and family.<ref name="PATRIOTLEDGER02192010">Symkus, Ed, [http://www.patriotledger.com/article/20100219/NEWS/302199983/0/SEARCH "Real local flavor on display in 'Shutter Island'"], ''The Patriot Ledger'', February 19, 2010</ref>
''Shutter Island'' was mainly filmed in [[Massachusetts]], with [[Taunton, Massachusetts|Taunton]] being the location for the World War II flashback scenes.<ref>{{cite news | first=Kyle | last=Alspach | url=http://www.patriotledger.com/archive/x1473821996 | title=Raynham native plays Nazi soldier executed in Scorsese film | work=[[The Patriot Ledger]] | date=March 8, 2008 | accessdate=May 21, 2008 | deadurl=yes | archiveurl=https://archive.is/20120529193000/http://www.patriotledger.com/archive/x1473821996 | archivedate=May 29, 2012 | df=mdy-all }}</ref> Old industrial buildings in Taunton's [[Whittenton Mills Complex]] replicated the [[Dachau concentration camp]].<ref>{{cite news |first=Vicki-Ann |last=Downing |url=http://www.enterprisenews.com/news/x349780798 |title=Film adaptation of Lehane’s novel a boon to the region |publisher=EnterpriseNews.com |date=March 8, 2008 |accessdate=May 21, 2008 |deadurl=yes |archiveurl=https://archive.is/20120730173652/http://www.enterprisenews.com/news/x349780798 |archivedate=July 30, 2012 |df=mdy-all }}</ref> The old [[Medfield State Hospital]] in [[Medfield, Massachusetts]] was another key location. Cawley's office scenes were the second floor of the chapel during the late evening. Lights were shone through the windows to make it look like it was daytime. The crew painted the hospital's brick walls to look like plywood. This served the dual purpose of acting as scenery and blocking the set from view of a local road. The crew wanted to film at the old [[Worcester State Hospital]], but demolition of surrounding buildings made it impossible. [[Borderland State Park]] in [[Easton, Massachusetts]] was used for the cabin scene. The film used [[Peddocks Island]] as a setting for the story's island.

''Shutter Island: Music from the Motion Picture'' was released on February 2, 2010, by [[Rhino Records]]. The film does not have an original score. Instead, Scorsese's longtime collaborator [[Robbie Robertson]] created an ensemble of previously recorded material to use in the film.
According to a statement on Paramount's website: "The collection of [[modern classical music]] [on the soundtrack album] was hand-selected by Robertson, who is proud of its scope and sound. 'This may be the most outrageous and beautiful soundtrack I've ever heard.'

==Genre==
''Shutter Island'' is a [[period piece]] with nods to different films in the [[film noir]] and [[Horror film|horror]] genres, paying particular homage to [[Alfred Hitchcock]]'s works.<ref>{{cite web |url=http://www.pastemagazine.com/articles/2010/02/shutter-island-review.html |title=Shutter Island Review |last=Saba |first=Michael |date=February 19, 2010 |work=[[Paste (magazine)|Paste Magazine]] |quote=Scorsese gets his Hitchcock on. |accessdate=October 12, 2010}}</ref> Scorsese stated in an interview that the main reference to Teddy Daniels was [[Dana Andrews]]' character in ''[[Laura (1944 film)|Laura]]'', and that he was also influenced by several very low-budget 1940s [[zombie movies]] made by [[Val Lewton]].<ref>{{cite web |url=http://www.telegraph.co.uk/culture/film/filmmakersonfilm/7366950/Martin-Scorsese-interview-for-Shutter-Island.html |title=Martin Scorsese interview for Shutter Island |last=Brown |first=Mick |date=March 7, 2010 |work=[[The Daily Telegraph]] |quote='The key film I showed Leo and Mark,’ Scorsese says, 'was Laura—Dana Andrews, the way he wears his tie, and the way he walks through a room, and he doesn’t even look at anybody; he’s always playing that little game.

There have been differing opinions over the ending of the film in which Laeddis asks Dr. Sheehan, "[W]hich would be worse – to live as a monster, or to die as a good man?", a line that does not appear in the book. Professor [[James Gilligan]] of New York University was Scorsese's psychiatric adviser, and he said that Laeddis' last words mean: "I feel too guilty to go on living. I'm not going to actually commit suicide, but I'm going to vicariously commit suicide by handing myself over to these people who're going to lobotomize me."<ref name="Cox-Guardian">{{cite news | last=Cox | first=David | title=Shutter Island's ending explained | url=https://www.theguardian.com/film/filmblog/2010/jul/29/shutter-island-ending | newspaper=The Guardian | accessdate=May 21, 2012 | date=July 29, 2010}}</ref> Dennis Lehane however said, "Personally, I think he has a momentary flash.… It's just one moment of sanity mixed in the midst of all the other delusions."<ref name="Cox-Guardian" />
