SHUTTER ISLAND

Last night I went to the cinema with my friends. We went to Kinepolis (a cinema of Paterna) because it's our favorite cinema, it's perfect. The seats are really very comfortable (they are like a sofa), the screen is kilometric and the popcorn are really nice (although they are very expensive).We watched Shutter Island, a thriller based on the 2003 novel of the same name by Dennis Lehane. The main character was Leonardo Dicaprio, I looooooooove him, he is one of my favorite actors. The film was really fantastic, I recommend it to you.
In the film Leonardo Dicaprio is a private detective called Teddy Daniels. He goes to Shutter Island, a very important mental hospital situated in an island, with his partner Chuck Aule to investigate how one of the patients was able to escape of her cell. The patient was a woman called Rachel Solando who had killed her three children some years ago. The doctor John Cawley, the head of the institution, says to the detectives that Rachel thinks that she is still at home and her children are still alive. Teddy says to doctor Cawley that he wants to see the files of the mental hospital, but Cawley refuses.
That night Teddy dream with his wife, who died in a fire, and she says to him that Rachel is still in the island and also is Andrew Laeddis, the man who started the fire where his wife dead.
The detectives question the staff and some of the patients (one of them says to Teddy that he has to run out the island), but they can’t question Rachel’s doctor because he is on vacation, so Teddy goes angry with the doctor John Cawley because he thinks that he doesn’t want to collaborate with them. After question the staff and the patients Teddy and Chuck go for a walk and Teddy explains to Chuck the real reason he took the case: because some time ago he met one person who was in Shutter Island and he said to Teddy that in the mental center they experiment with the patients, and it was horrible. When they return to the mental hospital Rachel Solando was in her room, some doctors found her near the lighthouse of the Island. Teddy starts to question Rachel but she doesn’t answer to any of his questions. After that he tries to reach the lighthouse because he thinks that was there where the doctors do the experiments. But he can’t reach the lighthouse and he arrives to a cave where he found the real Rachel Solando. She explains to Teddy that she wasn’t mad; she used to work at the mental hospital but one day she discovered that they want to control the human minds with their human experiments and they locked up her. She also says to Teddy that they have drugged him and he will die.
The day before Teddy Teddy finally makes him to the lighthouse and finds Cawley waiting at the top. Cawley says to him that he was Andrew Laeddis. He killed his manic depressive wife after she killed his three children and he invented all this fantasy where he was a hero, not a murderer. He has been under the care of the man he thought was Chuck, his partner, for two years. Andrew (the real name of Teddy) starts to remember everything. Finally when the doctors think that he is back to reality, Andrew starts to fantasize again, so the doctors decide that they have to prepare a lobotomy for Andrew. Finally he says to his doctor that is better to die as a good man than to live as a monster so Andrew is aware of the reality but he can’t live with it.
