World War II soldier-turned-U.S. Marshal Teddy Daniels investigates the disappearance of a patient from a hospital for the criminally insane, but his efforts are compromised by troubling visions and a mysterious doctor.

Intro and Property
"Shutter Island", a fascinating psycho-thriller released in 2010, is directed by Martin Scorsese and stars Leonardo DiCaprio as the primary star. Influenced by an unique penned by Dennis Lehane, the movie focuses on an investigation into a spooky island facility that leaves audiences on the edge of their seats from the amazing plot twists and the gripping narrative.

Plot Summary
The movie begins with U.S Marshal Teddy Daniels (DiCaprio) and his partner Chuck Aule getting to Shutter Island, a haven meant for the criminally ridiculous, to investigate the disappearance of an inmate called Rachel Solando. As a child-murderer, Solando appears to have actually escaped a locked room, leaving clues pointing to a larger conspiracy.

Daniels, strained with trauma from World War II and grief over his spouse's death in a fire, starts to experience increasingly troubling problems and hallucinations. As he dives further into the case, he discovers doubtful practices within the institution. The deeper he goes, the more his grasp on reality blurs, and he becomes unsure about what's real or simply a development of his tormented mind.

Outright resistant personnel, disoriented inmates, weird visions, and an upcoming cyclone heighten the thriller surrounding the investigators. Daniels quickly becomes persuaded that the Shutter Island staffs are keeping a light on the fact about the goings, including the existence of a clandestine psychiatric experiment carried out on patients.

Conclusion and Twist
The climax of the movie digs deep into the mental elements. Daniels finds the stunning discovery: he himself is Andrew Laeddis, a prisoner at the institution, a truth cooked up as part of a sophisticated role-play therapy arranged by the chief psychiatrist Dr. Cawley. Formerly, a U.S Marshal, Andrew supposedly killed his spouse after she drowned their children in a depressed state.

The psychological organization in the story was Andrew's (or Teddy's) sophisticated delusion to leave his regret. The reality is revealed: his function on the island is to accept his truth, in a desperate effort prior to turning to a lobotomy. It's exposed that "Rachel Solando" and everybody involved in the conspiracy were inventions of his impression, simply playing along in a speculative practice of treatment.

In an intriguing twist, just when it appears like Teddy has accepted his past, he regresses to his previous delusional state, choosing his built fantasy over the cruelty of truth. The last discussion mean Teddy (or Andrew) choosing the insanity defense causing a lobotomy, indicating self-willed elimination of his guilt-ridden mindful presence.

General Analysis
"Shutter Island" is an advanced mix of drama, suspense, and scary categories that considerably develops into a mental exploration into a male's regret and denial. Leonardo DiCaprio provides a splendid performance, instilling authenticity and depth into the character's complex arc. Martin Scorsese successfully stimulates a thought-provoking narrative of truth, impression, regret, and subconscious defenses, making "Shutter Island" a movie that unravels its secrets even past its end credits.
