''Shutter Island'' is a 2010 American neo-noir psychological thriller film directed by Martin Scorsese. The film is based on Dennis Lehane's 2003 novel of the same name. Production started in March 2008. Leonardo DiCaprio stars as U.S. Marshal Edward "Teddy" Daniels, who is investigating a psychiatric facility on Shutter Island. Positively cited by movie reviewers, the film grossed over $128 million in its initial domestic theater release,〔 as well as an additional $166 million internationally. ''Shutter Island'' was originally slated to be released on October 2, 2009, but Paramount Pictures delayed it until February 19, 2010. In August 2014, Paramount Television and HBO were reported to be brainstorming a TV series called ''Ashecliffe'', which will serve as an origin story for the film. ==Plot== In 1954, two U.S. Marshals - Edward "Teddy" Daniels and his new partner, Chuck Aule - travel to the Ashecliffe Hospital for the criminally insane on Shutter Island located in Boston Harbor. They are investigating the disappearance of patient Rachel Solando who was incarcerated for drowning her three children. Their only clue is a note left by Solando: "The law of 4; who is 67?" They arrive just before a storm arrives, cutting off their return to the mainland for a few days. Daniels and Aule find the staff confrontational; Dr. John Cawley, the lead psychiatrist, refuses to turn over records, and they learn Solando's doctor, Dr. Lester Sheehan, had left on vacation after her disappearance. Though they are given access to the hospital, they are told Ward C is off limits, while the lighthouse has already been searched. One patient during interrogation, secretly writes "RUN" in Daniels' notepad. Daniels starts to have migraine headaches from the hospital's atmosphere, and experiences waking visions of his involvement in the Dachau liberation reprisals and disturbing dreams of his wife, Dolores Chanal, who was killed in a fire set by a local arsonist named Andrew Laeddis. In one dream, Chanal tells Daniels that Solando is still on the island, as well as Laeddis, who also went missing months ago. Daniels later explains to Aule that locating Laeddis was an ulterior motive for taking the case. During their investigation, they find Solando has been discovered by the staff with no explanation, leading Daniels to break into Ward C. There, he meets George Noyce, a patient in solitary confinement. Noyce warns Daniels that the doctors are performing questionable experiments on the patients, and some are taken to the lighthouse to be lobotomized. Noyce warns Daniels that everyone else on the island, including Aule, is playing a game designed for Daniels. Daniels regroups with Aule and head off to the lighthouse. While climbing the cliffs to it, they become separated, and Daniels later sees a body on the rocks below. By the time he climbs down, the body is gone, but finds a cave where a woman is hiding claiming to be the real Solando. She says she was a former psychiatrist at the hospital until she discovered the experiments with psychotropic medication in an attempt to develop mind control techniques. Before she could report it to authorities, she was committed as a patient. Without any sign of Aule, Daniels returns to the hospital, but Cawley now claims that Daniels arrived alone there. Daniels is convinced Aule has been taken to the lighthouse and breaks into it. There, he finds Cawley waiting for him. Cawley explains that Andrew Laeddis is actually Daniels himself, "() most dangerous patient", incarcerated in Ward C for murdering his manic depressive wife after she drowned their children, thus revealing that "Solando" is actually his deceased wife. Edward Daniels and Rachel Solando are anagrams of Andrew Laeddis and Dolores Chanal ("the law of 4"), and Laeddis is the 67th patient at Ashecliffe ("who is 67?"); furthermore, the little girl from Laeddis' recurring dreams is his daughter, Rachel. The events of the last few days have been designed by the hospital to break Laeddis' conspiracy-laden insanity by allowing him to play out the role of Daniels; Dr. Sheehan posed as Aule. The migraines Laeddis suffered were a result of being off his medication. Laeddis is overwhelmed with memories and passes out from the realization. Laeddis awakes back in the hospital, and asked questions regarding his personality by Cawley and Sheehan, which he answers as Laeddis. Cawley notes they had achieved this state nine months prior to Laeddis' regression, and this is to be his last chance at rehabilitation. As Laeddis relaxes on the hospital grounds with Sheehan, Laeddis refers to Sheehan as Aule and tells him they need to get off the island. Seeing the signs of regression, Sheehan has Laeddis taken by the orderlies to the lighthouse. Laeddis lets himself be taken, but asks Sheehan "Which would be worse – to live as a monster, or to die as a good man?", potentially signifying that his regression is only an act.〔(Shutter Island's ending explained ).
