Symbolism In Shutter Island
I agree with this statement that texts which deserve attention are those that challenge our thinking. Martin Scorsese's 2010 masterpiece, Shutter Island,
challenges our perception on the human mind. Scorsese's film deserves our attention in the way that it creatively employs plot twists, uses symbolism
and how it portrays the complexity of trauma within the human mind. As a psychological thriller, Shutter Island captivates the audience, taking us on the
same journey that Teddy Daniels experiences in his quest to find the truth.
Plot twists are creatively applied to Shutter Island. Presented at the start of the film, when Teddy Daniels arrives on Shutter Island, Teddy Daniels is
a U.S Marshall. This conveys that he is solving the case of a missing patient who had escaped. Most importantly, he is searching for the killer of his
wife, Andrew Laeddis, who is supposed to be a patient on the island. To start the paranoia, Chuck Aule says "What if while you were looking into
them, they were looking into you?" Chuck identifies the paranoia to unconsciously throw the audience off guard and Teddy Daniels then seeks to
discover the disturbing truths of the institution. As the truth is clarified, the plot of the film seems to be apparent. As the core plot of Shutter Island is
to find out "Who is 67?" said by Chuck Aule, it is not until the end that everything is clarified. Teddy Daniels is in fact the missing "patient 67" who is
Andrew Laeddis. He then is disturbed with the truth that

Shutter Island Analysis
Shutter Island directed by Martin Scorsese. Its about a man named Teddy Daniels who used to be a US Marshal who suffers from a traumatic
tremors and has a serious mental health issue but on Ashcliffe he plays the role as a detective with his partner Chuck Aule. He often is in his own
fantasy world and believes everything he is seeing is real but everything Teddy is seeing isn't actually there. He often refuses to take the
medication he is supposed to be on because he thinks that there is nothing wrong with him mentally. He just thinks he is a person on Shutter
Island to be a "hero" but really he is patient 67. In my essay I am going to be explaining two techniques which are, Costume and Music to help me
describe the ending of the film. The theme I will also be explaining using examples from the film is "Seeing things differently". For this case "Seeing
Something Differently" is appropriate for the film Shutter Island because Teddy Daniels also known as Andrew Leddis. He sees himself as Teddy
Daniels not Andrew Leddis and why it is important to know the truth so you don't go by what you think is right. The directors purpose of using
costume and changing it slowly through out the film is to show who the character actually is and no who they think they are. Shutter Island frequently
changes the way Teddy Daniels costume looks and the way his partner Chuck's costume was in a orderly uniform. At the start Teddy was in a brown
suit with a brown and through out the rest of

Film Review : Shutter Island
Comparing Dennis Lehane 's "Shutter Island" and Martin Scorcese 's adaptation is like comparing a one punch knockout to a 10 round fight.
Lehane 's 10 round fights keeps throwing these punches and kicks which gives you details and time to think about what is happening, but
Scorcese quickly knocks you out, which is a complete surprise. Lehane gave the characters and the plot too much detail while failing to pose the
right question at the end. Just like a ten round fight, it fails to have that strong punch and leave a lasting impact; both of which are important in a
psychological thriller. Shutter Island is a psychological thriller that is based on schizophrenia, a mental disorder that leads to confusion,
hallucinations and false beliefs. So for the audience to truly appreciate the book or the movie, they have to feel confused and fail to realize what is
real. Scorcese manages to create this mood throughout his movie, but it is most apparent during Teddy 's dream scenes. In the first dream scene
Teddy is with his wife Dolores, inside a house. They are having a good time and it is bright outside, then Dolores walks away slowly and says,
"You have to let me go." It starts raining leafs inside the house, it gets dark outside and when Teddy goes to hug Dolores she starts bleeding from her
stomach, all the while the music in the background feels like it can belong in a wedding and in a funeral at the same time. Even more confusion is
added when Dolores says, "You can 't leave,

Movie Review: Shutter Island Essay
The movie Shutter Island is an excellent movie presenting memorable twists and not to mention, many aspects from a psychological point of view. The
suspense thriller movie exceedingly measured up to its genre, providing the action and adventure to keep the audience at the edge of their seats. Shutter
Island not only made the audience speculate, but the script had an apprehensive and steady flow. I argue that Shutter Island be considered art, based on
the criteria of the plot and script. Throughout the storyline, there were instances presented that are believable. The characters, not to mention, are
believable as well in an authentic sense. Although some critics would say Shutter Island is a bad film, and not considered artistic, I think it...show more

This unique approach is appropriate, opposed to telling patients that their symptoms are not real and it's all in their head. Teddy is purposely set up
to interact with the missing patient, Rachel. In reality, Rachel represents Teddy's deceased wife, Dolores. I think Teddy was set up to have this
experience to see if maybe he will remember the past, life changing events. In hopes of curing Teddy's delusions, it would seem as if the experiment
were a success. It comes to be clear the experiment was a failure when Teddy starts acting like a detective all over again. The doctors continue to go
along with his delusions and decide to take a drastic and final approach, surgery. performance
Shutter Island is a well organized movie and has a script that is put together well. Although there were many questions I had about the movie, I still
had a clear view what the movie was about and how each event affected Teddy Daniels. It was very interesting to see how the timeline of Shutter
Island unraveled. The movie started off in the present and slowly back tracked its way into the past. From the past, making an immediate twist into the
presence. Knowing exactly why Teddy suffers from many of his psychologocal disorders was another remarkable factor of this movie. In previous
films, I have observed and pondered many questions that pertain to the main character. The majority of the

Core Assessment Paper–Abnormal Psychology –PS 401
March 3, 2011
Abstract
Shutter Island is a film depicting several of the many facets of Abnormal Psychology as defined and studied over the course of this term. Several of
the concepts discussed in our lectures and demonstrated during our classroom time were evident and vividly depicted in the film including personality
disorders past and present; stress and anxiety disorders; psychosis, and mood disorders. There were others subtly displayed in the film however, these
listed were of primary focus and coincidence most closely with our study this term. While focusing more on the abnormal, Shutter Island...show more

So, if parents or guardians are spending less time with children, who or what is teaching them right from wrong?
Like previous generations today's youth are greatly influenced by what they see and hear. Outside of parents or legal guardians, the big screen,
television, music, and peers have the greatest influence over young people today. What is being communicated to our youth falls short on doses of
old–fashioned morals and values.
Analysis on Family Morals in the 21st Century
Now, here is where things get a little complicated. Because as "free moral agents" we each have a right to decide what has value or merit in our lives
and our environment could very well determine how our value system is formed. Boston University professor and social scientist Glenn Loury raises
some critical issues in his essay "Values and Judgments: Creating Social Incentives for Good Behavior." He claims there are underlying factors that lie
at the root of behavior. This is particularly true when we examine dysfunctional behavior.
Dysfunctional behavior is thought to be more prevalent in impoverished communities. Some debate that a common dysfunctional correlation exists
among individuals whether they live in poor, middle, or upper class communities. It appears dysfunctional behavior is not limited to one particular
segment of our population. If the ground is fertile

Shutter Island : Film Analysis Essay
This is a film analysis of Shutter Island. Shutter Island is a 2010 film directed by Martin Scorsese. Starring Leonardo DiCaprio and Mark Ruffalo,
this film is 138 minutes of psychological thrills and horror. Shutter Island covers the field of psychopathology. More specifically, it covers
psychotic disorders, dissociative disorders, and treatment. Shutter Island is set in 1954 on Shutter Island, Massachusetts at the Ashecliffe Hospital
for the criminally insane. The opening scene of the film is U.S. Marshals Edward Daniels and Chuck Aule arriving on Shutter Island. Daniels and
Aule, played by DiCaprio and Ruffalo, respectively, have come to investigate the disappearance of a patient from Ashecliffe, Rachel Solando.
Daniels was allowed in the hospital, but needed to obtain permission and be accompanied in Ward C, which was only for the most dangerous
patients. While inspecting Solando's room, Daniels finds a piece of paper that seemed to have a clue on it, "The law of 4; who is 67?" (Medavoy &
Scorsese, 2010). When the authorities on the island are not cooperating with Daniels, he decides to leave. However, a storm prevents them from
returning to the mainland so Daniels and Aule continue their investigation. Along with occasional migraines, Daniels sees hallucinations of his wife
Dolores Chanal, who, according to Daniels, died in a fire started by arsonist Andrew Laeddis. In one such hallucination, Chanal told Daniels that
Solando is still alive and on the island. Then,

Shutter Island Essay.
Shutter Island Essay. I'm going to write an essay about a film named Shutter Island which was taken from Dennis Lehane's 2003 novel which is
also called Shutter Island, the film it's self was directed by Martin Scorsese in 2010. In my essay I plan to write about how important the genre and
the characters is to the film and how the film makers use it to create a successful film. To give you a brief of the film I am going to use Gustav
Freytag's five part analysis, exposition; two U.S. Marshals, Edward "Teddy" Daniels and his new partner Chuck Aule, who have been sent to the
Ashecliffe Hospital for the criminally insane on Shutter Island which is located in Boston Harbour to take part in an investigation about the
disappearance of...show more content...
Dr Cawley explains that "Daniels" is really Andrew Laeddis, which was made up after killing his wife after she drowned their three children.
According to Dr Cawley, the events that had happened over the last couple of days had been designed to break Laeddis conspiracy which was
insanity by allowing him to play out the role of Daniels which was an anagram of his name. The fallen action happens when Laeddis sits on the
hospital grounds with Dr Sheehan; he calls him "Chuck" and says they need to get off the island. Dr Cawley takes this as a sign of regression so
decides there's nothing more he could do. The resolution happens when they take him away, Laeddis asks Dr Sheehan, "Which would be worse?
To live as a monster, or die as a good man?" and then calmly leaves with the doctors. The gothic setting is really important to the film in a whole as
it makes us see the film for the way it is because if you have loads of flowers and bright happy colours in a mystery/horror film you aren't going to
get the same effect are you? No, so all the gothic genre mixes with the plot and show's us the true effect of the genre. There are loads of gothic settings
amongst the story line, for example; the island itself, hospital building, mansion, death camps, ward C, woods, cemetery, cave, the lighthouse, fog, the
extreme weather, darkness, the lake, etc. But I am going to write about the main three in my opinion. The first one I am going to write

Symbolism In Shutter Island

  • 1. Symbolism In Shutter Island I agree with this statement that texts which deserve attention are those that challenge our thinking. Martin Scorsese's 2010 masterpiece, Shutter Island, challenges our perception on the human mind. Scorsese's film deserves our attention in the way that it creatively employs plot twists, uses symbolism and how it portrays the complexity of trauma within the human mind. As a psychological thriller, Shutter Island captivates the audience, taking us on the same journey that Teddy Daniels experiences in his quest to find the truth. Plot twists are creatively applied to Shutter Island. Presented at the start of the film, when Teddy Daniels arrives on Shutter Island, Teddy Daniels is a U.S Marshall. This conveys that he is solving the case of a missing patient who had escaped. Most importantly, he is searching for the killer of his wife, Andrew Laeddis, who is supposed to be a patient on the island. To start the paranoia, Chuck Aule says "What if while you were looking into them, they were looking into you?" Chuck identifies the paranoia to unconsciously throw the audience off guard and Teddy Daniels then seeks to discover the disturbing truths of the institution. As the truth is clarified, the plot of the film seems to be apparent. As the core plot of Shutter Island is to find out "Who is 67?" said by Chuck Aule, it is not until the end that everything is clarified. Teddy Daniels is in fact the missing "patient 67" who is Andrew Laeddis. He then is disturbed with the truth that Get more content on HelpWriting.net
  • 2. Shutter Island Analysis Shutter Island directed by Martin Scorsese. Its about a man named Teddy Daniels who used to be a US Marshal who suffers from a traumatic tremors and has a serious mental health issue but on Ashcliffe he plays the role as a detective with his partner Chuck Aule. He often is in his own fantasy world and believes everything he is seeing is real but everything Teddy is seeing isn't actually there. He often refuses to take the medication he is supposed to be on because he thinks that there is nothing wrong with him mentally. He just thinks he is a person on Shutter Island to be a "hero" but really he is patient 67. In my essay I am going to be explaining two techniques which are, Costume and Music to help me describe the ending of the film. The theme I will also be explaining using examples from the film is "Seeing things differently". For this case "Seeing Something Differently" is appropriate for the film Shutter Island because Teddy Daniels also known as Andrew Leddis. He sees himself as Teddy Daniels not Andrew Leddis and why it is important to know the truth so you don't go by what you think is right. The directors purpose of using costume and changing it slowly through out the film is to show who the character actually is and no who they think they are. Shutter Island frequently changes the way Teddy Daniels costume looks and the way his partner Chuck's costume was in a orderly uniform.

  • 3. Film Review : Shutter Island Comparing Dennis Lehane 's "Shutter Island" and Martin Scorcese 's adaptation is like comparing a one punch knockout to a 10 round fight. Lehane 's 10 round fights keeps throwing these punches and kicks which gives you details and time to think about what is happening, but Scorcese quickly knocks you out, which is a complete surprise. Lehane gave the characters and the plot too much detail while failing to pose the right question at the end. Just like a ten round fight, it fails to have that strong punch and leave a lasting impact; both of which are important in a psychological thriller. Shutter Island is a psychological thriller that is based on schizophrenia, a mental disorder that leads to confusion, hallucinations and false beliefs. So for the audience to truly appreciate the book or the movie, they have to feel confused and fail to realize what is real. Scorcese manages to create this mood throughout his movie, but it is most apparent during Teddy 's dream scenes. In the first dream scene Teddy is with his wife Dolores, inside a house. They are having a good time and it is bright outside, then Dolores walks away slowly and says, "You have to let me go." It starts raining leafs inside the house, it gets dark outside and when Teddy goes to hug Dolores she starts bleeding from her stomach, all the while the music in the background feels like it can belong in a wedding and in a funeral at the same time. Even more confusion is added when Dolores says, "You can 't leave, Get more content on HelpWriting.net

The suspense thriller movie exceedingly measured up to its genre, providing the action and adventure to keep the audience at the edge of their seats. Shutter Island not only made the audience speculate, but the script had an apprehensive and steady flow. I argue that Shutter Island be considered art, based on the criteria of the plot and script.

This unique approach is appropriate, opposed to telling patients that their symptoms are not real and it's all in their head. Teddy is purposely set up to interact with the missing patient, Rachel. In reality, Rachel represents Teddy's deceased wife, Dolores. I think Teddy was set up to have this experience to see if maybe he will remember the past, life changing events. In hopes of curing Teddy's delusions, it would seem as if the experiment were a success. It comes to be clear the experiment was a failure when Teddy starts acting like a detective all over again. The doctors continue to go along with his delusions and decide to take a drastic and final approach, surgery. performance Shutter Island is a well organized movie and has a script that is put together well. Although there were many questions I had about the movie, I still had a clear view what the movie was about and how each event affected Teddy Daniels.

Like previous generations today's youth are greatly influenced by what they see and hear. Outside of parents or legal guardians, the big screen, television, music, and peers have the greatest influence over young people today. What is being communicated to our youth falls short on doses of old–fashioned morals and values. Analysis on Family Morals in the 21st Century Now, here is where things get a little complicated. Because as "free moral agents" we each have a right to decide what has value or merit in our lives and our environment could very well determine how our value system is formed. Boston University professor and social scientist Glenn Loury raises some critical issues in his essay "Values and Judgments: Creating Social Incentives for Good Behavior." He claims there are underlying factors that lie at the root of behavior. This is particularly true when we examine dysfunctional behavior. Dysfunctional behavior is thought to be more prevalent in impoverished communities. Some debate that a common dysfunctional correlation exists among individuals whether they live in poor, middle, or upper class communities.

  • 7. Shutter Island : Film Analysis Essay This is a film analysis of Shutter Island. Shutter Island is a 2010 film directed by Martin Scorsese. Starring Leonardo DiCaprio and Mark Ruffalo, this film is 138 minutes of psychological thrills and horror. Shutter Island covers the field of psychopathology. More specifically, it covers psychotic disorders, dissociative disorders, and treatment. Shutter Island is set in 1954 on Shutter Island, Massachusetts at the Ashecliffe Hospital for the criminally insane. The opening scene of the film is U.S. Marshals Edward Daniels and Chuck Aule arriving on Shutter Island. Daniels and Aule, played by DiCaprio and Ruffalo, respectively, have come to investigate the disappearance of a patient from Ashecliffe, Rachel Solando. Daniels was allowed in the hospital, but needed to obtain permission and be accompanied in Ward C, which was only for the most dangerous patients. While inspecting Solando's room, Daniels finds a piece of paper that seemed to have a clue on it, "The law of 4; who is 67?" (Medavoy & Scorsese, 2010). When the authorities on the island are not cooperating with Daniels, he decides to leave. However, a storm prevents them from returning to the mainland so Daniels and Aule continue their investigation. Along with occasional migraines, Daniels sees hallucinations of his wife Dolores Chanal, who, according to Daniels, died in a fire started by arsonist Andrew Laeddis. In one such hallucination, Chanal told Daniels that Solando is still alive and on the island. Then, Get more content on HelpWriting.net
  • 8. Shutter Island Essay. Shutter Island Essay. I'm going to write an essay about a film named Shutter Island which was taken from Dennis Lehane's 2003 novel which is also called Shutter Island, the film it's self was directed by Martin Scorsese in 2010. In my essay I plan to write about how important the genre and the characters is to the film and how the film makers use it to create a successful film. To give you a brief of the film I am going to use Gustav Freytag's five part analysis, exposition; two U.S. Marshals, Edward "Teddy" Daniels and his new partner Chuck Aule, who have been sent to the Ashecliffe Hospital for the criminally insane on Shutter Island which is located in Boston Harbour to take part in an investigation about the disappearance of...show more content... Dr Cawley explains that "Daniels" is really Andrew Laeddis, which was made up after killing his wife after she drowned their three children. According to Dr Cawley, the events that had happened over the last couple of days had been designed to break Laeddis conspiracy which was insanity by allowing him to play out the role of Daniels which was an anagram of his name. The fallen action happens when Laeddis sits on the hospital grounds with Dr Sheehan; he calls him "Chuck" and says they need to get off the island. Dr Cawley takes this as a sign of regression so decides there's nothing more he could do. The resolution happens when they take him away, Laeddis asks Dr Sheehan, "Which would be worse? To live as a monster, or die as a good man?" and then calmly leaves with the doctors. The gothic setting is really important to the film in a whole as it makes us see the film for the way it is because if you have loads of flowers and bright happy colours in a mystery/horror film you aren't going to get the same effect are you? No, so all the gothic genre mixes with the plot and show's us the true effect of the genre. There are loads of gothic settings amongst the story line, for example; the island itself, hospital building, mansion, death camps, ward C, woods, cemetery, cave, the lighthouse, fog, the extreme weather, darkness, the lake, etc. But I am going to write about the main three in my opinion.
