It is adapted by [[Laeta Kalogridis]] from the [[Shutter Island|2003 novel of the same name]] by [[Dennis Lehane]], about a Deputy [[United States Marshals Service|U.S. Marshal]] who comes to Shutter Island to investigate a psychiatric facility, after one of the patients goes missing. It stars [[Leonardo DiCaprio]] and [[Mark Ruffalo]], with [[Ben Kingsley]], [[Max von Sydow]] and [[Michelle Williams (actress)|Michelle Williams]] in supporting roles. The film had its wide release on February 19, 2010 and received generally positive reviews from critics. It was chosen by the [[National Board of Review]] as one of the [[National Board of Review Awards 2010#Top 10 Films|top ten films of 2010]], and grossed $295&nbsp;million worldwide. The film is also noted for its soundtrack, which prominently used classical music, such as that of [[Gustav Mahler]], [[Krzysztof Penderecki]], [[György Ligeti]], [[John Cage]], [[Ingram Marshall]], and [[Max Richter]]. ==Plot== <!-- Per MOS:FILMPLOT, plot summaries should be between 400 and 700 words. Current: 668 --> In 1954, [[United States Marshals Service|U.S. Marshal]] Edward "Teddy" Daniels and his new partner Chuck Aule travel to Ashecliffe Hospital for the [[Insanity defense|criminally insane]] on the inhospitable Shutter Island, [[Boston Harbor]], to investigate the disappearance of Rachel Solando, a patient of the hospital who had previously drowned her three children. The staff, led by psychiatrist Dr. John Cawley, appear uncooperative. The marshals learn that Dr. Lester Sheehan, who was treating Solando, had left the island on vacation immediately after Solando disappeared. Teddy experiences [[migraine]] headaches, flashbacks of his experiences as a U.S. Army soldier during the [[Dachau concentration camp#Liberation|liberation of Dachau]], and also vivid dreams of his wife Dolores, who was killed in a fire set by arsonist Andrew Laeddis. Teddy explains to Chuck that he took the case to find Laeddis, believing he is on the island. Solando suddenly resurfaces and believes Teddy is her husband. Teddy later breaks into the restricted Ward C to find Laeddis, where he meets patient George Noyce who appears to know Teddy. He tells Teddy that the doctors experiment on patients and some are taken to a lighthouse to be [[Lobotomy|lobotomized]]. He warns Teddy that everyone is deceiving him and tells him not to trust Chuck. Teddy regroups with Chuck and they climb the cliffs toward the lighthouse but become separated. Believing he saw Chuck's body on the rocks below, Teddy climbs down but finds only a cave where a woman claiming to be the real Solando is hiding. She states that she is a former psychiatrist who discovered clandestine experiments to develop [[Brainwashing|mind control]] but was forcibly committed. She says that Cawley and Dr. Naehring will use Teddy's war trauma to feign a psychotic break, allowing them to have him also committed. Teddy returns to the hospital and is greeted by Cawley. When Teddy asks about Chuck's whereabouts, Cawley insists that Teddy does not have a partner and that he arrived on the island alone. Convinced Chuck was taken to the lighthouse, Teddy heads there but runs into Naehring, who attempts to sedate him. Teddy overpowers him and breaks into the lighthouse, only to discover Cawley waiting for him. Teddy confronts Cawley and reveals his encounter with Solando, saying he believes Cawley is experimenting on him. Cawley denies that Solando ever existed, and insists that Teddy has not been drugged, explaining the tremors as withdrawals from [[chlorpromazine]], a [[neuroleptic]] medication that Teddy has been taking for two years. Chuck arrives and reveals he is, in fact, Dr. Sheehan. Cawley explains that "Teddy" is Andrew Laeddis, a U.S. Marshal incarcerated at Ashecliffe for murdering his [[Bipolar disorder|manic depressive]] wife after she drowned their three children. Andrew did not seek treatment for Dolores when she burned down their apartment and instead moved his family to a lake house, where Dolores carried out the killings. Cawley explains that Andrew's delusion is a result of his guilt, that his migraines and hallucinations are withdrawal symptoms, and that he had created the alternate persona of Edward Daniels,{{efn|Crawley explains that "Edward Daniels" is an [[anagram]] of Andrew Laeddis, and "Rachel Solando" is an anagram of his dead wife, Dolores Chanal.}} also a Marshal, who acted violently and espoused conspiracy theories about the facility. The "investigation" is an elaborate role-play to regain his true persona. Overwhelmed by his sudden recall, Andrew faints. Awakening later, Andrew calmly recounts the truth, satisfying the doctors that he is lucid. Cawley notes that they had achieved this state nine months before, but that Andrew had quickly regressed. He warns that this will be Andrew's last chance and if he lapses again he will be lobotomized due to his very violent conduct towards other patients such as Noyce, and towards the guards. Sometime later, Andrew relaxes on the hospital grounds with Sheehan. Appearing delusional, Andrew again refers to Sheehan as "Chuck" and says they must leave the island. Sheehan signals to Cawley, who orders that Andrew be lobotomized. Andrew then asks Sheehan if it would be worse "to live as a monster, or to die as a good man". A stunned Sheehan calls Andrew "Teddy" but the latter does not respond and leaves peacefully with the orderlies for his operation. ==Cast== {{Multiple image|perrow=2|total_width=200 | image1 = Leonardo DiCaprio 2010.jpg | image2 = Mark Ruffalo (36201774756) (cropped).jpg | image4 = Ben Kingsley by Gage Skidmore.jpg | image3 = Michelle Williams (Berlinale 2010).jpg | footer = (Clockwise) ''Shutter Island'' stars [[Leonardo DiCaprio]], [[Mark Ruffalo]], [[Ben Kingsley]], and [[Michelle Williams (actress)|Michelle Williams]] }} {{castlist| * [[Leonardo DiCaprio]] as Edward "Teddy" Daniels, who is later revealed to be Andrew Laeddis, a [[US Marshal]] who shot his wife two years previously. * [[Mark Ruffalo]] as Chuck Aule, who is later revealed to be Dr. Lester Sheehan, Teddy's primary psychiatrist. * [[Ben Kingsley]] as Dr. John Cawley, a senior psychiatrist at the hospital, who also treats Teddy. * [[Max von Sydow]] as Dr. Naehring, a psychiatrist at the hospital helping in the role-play with Teddy. * [[Michelle Williams (actress)|Michelle Williams]] as Dolores Chanal, Teddy's manic-depressive wife, who set fire to their apartment and later drowned their three children. * [[Emily Mortimer]] as Rachel 1, who admits to drowning her children and thinks Teddy is her husband, but is later revealed to be a nurse helping in the role-play. * [[Patricia Clarkson]] as Rachel 2, whom Teddy meets in a cave, and who presents herself as the real Rachel and affirms his conspiracies about the hospital, but who is later revealed as a figment of his imagination. * [[Jackie Earle Haley]] as George Noyce, a patient in Ward C who is later revealed to have been violently beaten by Teddy two weeks earlier. * [[Ted Levine]] as Warden, who later tells Teddy that he is the most violent man on the island. * [[John Carroll Lynch]] as Deputy Warden McPherson. * [[Joseph Sikora]] as Glen Miga. * [[Elias Koteas]] as Laeddis, the fictional arsonist whom Teddy invented, and who he believes killed Dolores. * [[Robin Bartlett]] as Bridget Kearns. * [[Christopher Denham]] as Peter Breene. * [[Curtiss Cook]] as Trey Washington. }} ==Production== ===Development=== The rights to [[Dennis Lehane]]'s novel ''[[Shutter Island]]'' were first optioned to [[Columbia Pictures]] in 2003.
