Shutter Island!

I chose Shutter Island as my first film, mainly because I have already watched it and I was aware that it was a stunning thriller. However, because it is so good, I watched it again. It contained some aspects typical of a thriller, such as;
- the weather was horrendous, gloomy and mysterious, and this added to the set up.
- the island was remote, away from the mainland so it was solitary. Making it mysterious and almost sinister.Also the fact that it it a home for dangerous psychopaths, means you know something is up.
- there is very little background information on the characters. Every character seems sneaky and like they are trying to hide something. So this adds to the sence of mystery.
- The ending is brilliant, it unravels everything and leaves the viewer knowing everything, howevever there is still a bit of mystery so the viewer can make up there own mind.

Over all, a stunning film and a brilliant thriller. Definately recomend for a watch! :)
