1
So Shutter Island's one of those movies
2
that lived rent free in my head even though I'd only watched the film a handful of times.
3
After picking up the 4K Bluray
4
and revisiting it for this breakdown I found a lot of incredible details
5
and hidden things in it that seeped into my subconscious on the first watch
6
and this really elevated the movie far beyond the appreciation that I had for it originally.
7
Scorsese has really crafted a masterpiece here and throughout this video we're gonna be breaking down why the film is so haunting.
8
We'll of course also be talking about the ending thing and all of the clues that build up towards it.
9
Now I was someone who guessed the twist in the first scene on my first watch.
10
Not to brag
11
but the idea it was all in someone's mind is a trope that's been used in a number of films
12
and shows like
13
The Twilight Zone, Fight Club, The Machinist and so on.
14
However, even though I think you can safely guess it in the opening scene,
15
the film actually goes beyond the twist due to it's complex characters and narrative.
16
Even the title itself is layered with Shutter Island being an anagram of truth and lies.
17
If we're really reaching, it can also be rearranged to say
18
Ted hunts liars with DiCaprio's character going under the name Teddy Daniels.
19
This is later changed up to become Edward Daniels and we discover
20
that he's actually called Andrew Latis which is also an anagram of Edward Daniels.
21
Later on when we meet Latis we can see
22
that he has a giant scar across his face that also goes through his eyebrow.
23
One thing that you might not notice is
24
that Teddy also has a cut through his eyebrow and
25
And this was given to Dicaprio by the makeup department to symbolise that they're one and the same.
26
Now what I appreciate about the ending is
27
that this isn't a movie where it pulls the twist out of thin air at the end
28
and instead it's telegraphed to us in multiple scenes.
29
We start off on a boat rather than a dock which is where we see Teddy meeting his partner Chuck.
30
You think that they would meet on the shore and the fact
31
that it's here shows that this is where the game begins rather than Teddy being an actual person.
32
Chuck is later revealed to be Dr Sheehan
33
and this is actually given away subtly during a moment in which the pair both interview a patient.
34
Look at this again and she glances at Mark Ruffalo's character upon the mention of Dr Sheehan.
35
The scene is actually filled with lots of little details and behind both the patient and Teddy we can see two guards.
36
When we get to the shots of Chuck there isn't anyone standing guard behind him
37
because as we know he's a doctor and not a patient.
38
One of the best moments in the scenes when the patient goes to take a drink from a glass of water.
39
She raises it to her mouth but if you pause the frame
40
and look closely at her hand you'll see that there's actually nothing there.
41
We then get a quick cut of her putting the glass back on the table which is when the fantasy continues.
42
Water is very symbolic in the movie as we learn
43
that Teddy's wife drowned their children which is what caused his mental psyche to break down.
44
This is why it's important for the character to start off on a boat and we're first introduced to Teddy being sick.
45
He says...
46
...and water is very much the first test to start off this quote unquote simulation.
47
It's later removed from the patient to not trigger him as we can see how devastating it is for the character here.
48
Now another thing that you might notice about Teddy is that he has a bandaid on his head.
49
We call him elastoplasts in England which I'll not force
50
that on you my American viewers don't you worry about that the thumbs up's right there.
51
Anyway this symbolically also represents the guilt that he's repressing.
52
Now the entire situation he's concocted in his mind is very much him metaphorically placing a bandaid over the guilt
53
he carries over killing his wife.
54
Come the end of the movie it's removed showing how he's faced up to the trauma and has taken this away.
55
Another nice touch when we see Teddy throughout the movie is that his clothes don't actually fit him.
56
This is something I only really noticed on this watch through as I always just assumed
57
that it was the style at the time.
58
However if you look at the other doctors in suits you can see
59
that clothes would've been tailored
60
and them being ill fitting on the characters shows how they were likely just grabbed off a rack
61
so that they could be worn as part of the roleplay.
62
Now in the background we can hear the music thumping away
63
and it might surprise you to learn that absolutely no new music was composed for the film.
64
Every single piece used in the movie is from a library of scores released in the 30s to 50s
65
that Scorsese pulled from in order to add atmosphere.
66
Whether this extends beyond just being noise in the background around
67
and due to the nature of the film very much all being an act by the asylum it definitely adds to it.
68
I'm sure everyone watching this video has played make believe at some point in their life
69
and they pretended to be someone that they're not.
70
I used to think I was James Bond
71
and had pretty much hummed the theme tune in my head the entire time when I was doing it.
72
It was about two years ago I'll be honest and I think the musical choices here represent the same thing.
73
This is all Andrew playing along and the score being pulled from other films adds to his perception of it.
74
I'm gonna be calling him Teddy for the most part just to stop things getting confusing
75
and it's important to bear in mind that they are indeed the same person.
76
Chuck asks him if he's got a girl and we then see flashbacks of his wife.
77
Scorsese plays with us during the scene
78
and we get a cut to the water before getting a freeze frame out of her.
79
This of course symbolises how she drowned their children
80
and the freeze frame is almost a mental block put in place by Teddy to stop him from seeing the connection.
81
Scorsese uses freeze frames in a lot of his movies
82
and the director often does this to make sure we're paying attention to the scene.
83
Teddy then says his wife died during a fire which of course is very much the opposite to water.
84
This shows he's concocted the complete opposite story in his mind in order to save himself from the pain.
85
Fire is very important in the movie as well and this is shown to us at several points.
86
We discover that Dolores set fire to their apartment as a way to end her own life
87
which is when they moved out to the lake.
88
However it's usage goes far beyond that.
89
We see Teddy smoking throughout the film but cigarettes and lights are always given to him by someone else.
90
Teddy doesn't even have his own pack which is highlighted to us in this opening scene.
91
The fact they're always let by someone else is also done for a specific reason.
92
Inmates wouldn't be allowed to run free on the island with a box of matches
93
or a lighter and therefore these are kept away from Teddy.
94
However he does later get his hands on some when he goes to visit George Noice.
95
Now it's possible that this is even a hallucination by him as he sparks one up
96
but it disappears when he gets to the bars.
97
He seemingly lights up another one but this triggers a hallucination of his wife standing in the corner.
98
Fire also gets a major focus in two key scenes later on.
99
The first is when Teddy seemingly finds Rachel Solando in a cliffside cave.
100
We watch as the fire dominates the shot and it takes up a large part of the frame as the two talk.
101
However we can see that Teddy's hands are still shaking
102
and though infused cigarettes are blamed for this I don't think that's true.
103
We know from the ending that he's not being drugged
104
and thus this is suggesting that the fire isn't actually there because it's not keeping him warm.
105
Now a fire also plays a big part with Dr Jeremiah and it too appears in his vision with latest later on.
106
Therefore I believe the fire is all in his mind
107
and the water represents the reality whereas fire represents the illusion that he's given to himself.
108
This is why the lighthouse where the revelation happens is surrounded by water
109
and even Teddy's mission to escape means
110
that he has to go to the dock which is of course also surrounded by it.
111
Juxtaposing this later sits in front of a fire
112
and Teddy of course says his wife died in one when in reality it was all connected to water.
113
Beyond this I also think that the storm is a fake too.
114
We have a weird point where he wakes up
115
and we're told the storm has passed but we still see a flash of lightning.
116
There's also the damage that the storm does throughout which destroys trees and parts of the asylum.
117
We visit the courtyard at one point which looks worse than the youtube comment section with trees scattered everywhere.
118
Once the truth is revealed at the end though we can't see any of this
119
and there's no way they could have fixed this all so quickly.
120
When they run into the storm we also get this line from the guard.
121
Which I think if taken literally shows this could all be made up.
122
Therefore I think the storm is simply used as a narrative device by the doctors to keep them confined to the island.
123
Storms are of course symbolic as they of course bring water with them
124
and this could very much be washing the island of Teddy's delusions.
125
Now upon the shore we get another clear clue that something is off.
126
This happens when the guards all stand around menacingly looking at Teddy with their guns drawn.
127
This is at the start of the experiment and they're naturally apprehensive that he could go wild at any second.
128
Now upon reaching the asylum they're asked to hand their weapons over.
129
Chuck has some difficulty drawing his from his holster
130
and instead he just hands over the entire thing with the gun inside of it.
131
Chuck is supposed to be a US Marshal
132
that would have likely drawn his weapon several times
133
but the fact he can't do this again hints to something being off with him.
134
Now in the garden we get a patient that looks at Teddy and she does a shush motion.
135
This could be a case of her basically hinting at what's really going on however it could go far beyond that.
136
Fitzwallaby on Reddit theorise that she herself had a lobotomy and this can be seen by her missing hair.
137
She has a large scar across her neck, bloodshot eyes and something just seems off about her.
138
These are all signs of a violent patient
139
and yet she's allowed to wander around the garden with tools that could easily be used as weapons.
140
The only way they'd allow her to do this is
141
if she'd been lobotomised and the shush motion could be done to warn Teddy
142
that if he doesn't keep quiet that he could end up like her.
143
Now at this point we meet John Corley played by Ben Kingsley.
144
Though the way he's presented can make him come across as a villain, he's actually the good guy in all of this.
145
He set up this elaborate scheme to try
146
and cure Teddy rather than going with the lobotomy which the other doctors were suggesting.
147
Now apparently they're here to catch Rachel Solondo who we get the backstory filled in on.
148
She killed all three of her children.
149
She drowned them in the lake behind her house.
150
She also believes this places her home in the Berkshires.
151
To sustain the delusion that her children never died she's created an elaborate fictional structure
152
and she gives us all parts to play in that fiction.
153
Again tying back to the idea of anagrams we see at the end
154
that Rachel Solondo changes to Dolores Chanel aka Teddy's wife or Andrew's wife.
155
Now we also hear that her husband died during Normandy
156
and we know that Teddy helped to liberate a concentration camp during the second world war
157
which also added to fracturing his psyche.
158
He says sanity is not a choice and this could be heading towards a choice that Teddy makes at the end.
159
I've always been someone who thought that he was well aware of the monster
160
that he was and that he decided to spare himself of the pain
161
but we'll talk about that more later on in the video.
162
Now Rachel was apparently locked in her room but she managed to escape by seemingly evaporating through a wall.
163
This again hints that she doesn't actually exist and in her cell Teddy finds an O under a dislodged tile.
164
The Law of Four here of course refers to the names being anagrams
165
and Patient 67 is later revealed to be Andrew Laides aka Teddy.
166
We even get a doctor admiring the Law of Four later on
167
and how clever it is showing how he's in on it.
168
The search then begins on the bluffs and here we see some of the guards just sitting around doing nothing.
169
This is because they know that Rachel doesn't exist and that it's pointless searching for her.
170
Teddy also asks what the lighthouse is and the guard says...
171
What's in there?
172
More patients?
173
The sewage treatment facility.
174
Now Teddy is seen as one of the most violent offenders on the island
175
and the sewage treatment facility could be the guard basically saying
176
what he thinks of the guy who's gonna end up getting his final stage of treatment there.
177
We later learn from noise that this is where they carry out the lobotomies
178
so the line shows what some of the staff think about the criminally insane.
179
From here they question the orderlies, whoa is that
180
Tommy from power?
181
And much like how the patient gave away
182
Chuck was Dr Sheehan, we see the nurse doing the same thing when she's pressed on him.
183
She glances at Chuck both times again showing who he truly is.
184
I was told Sheehan left on vacation that morning on a boat
185
and this of course did a lap and then brought them back to the island.
186
Teddy orders that they try
187
and contact him however the storm's apparently destroyed the lines on
188
the mainland again showing how the storm is used to keep things centralised to the island.
189
The operator here is clearly playing along and
190
when the trio leave we can see him turning around almost as if to check it's okay to drop the act.
191
They then go to Corley's house and we see a record playing.
192
This two showed up at the start when Teddy was thinking about his wife
193
and it's something that later appears with the revelation with the same song being used.
194
It's also something that he saw in the concentration camp
195
and the fact that Teddy suspects Dr Jeremiah is a Nazi is a sliver
196
that ties back into his time during the second world war.
197
Nazi Zionists of course carried out experiments in the concentration camps and the doctor represents everything he hates.
198
Interestingly this piece is Gustav Mahler's piano quartet in A minor.
199
This was actually banned in Germany during the war due to the composer being Jewish.
200
This could be chosen for that specific reason with it showing the contradictions that exist in the movie.
201
This is true as well as Teddy's able to concoct this entire fantasy to defend himself from the truth.
202
He psychoanalyses Teddy and says that he's a man of violence
203
which he would only really be aware of if he knew the character beforehand.
204
When they go to sleep Teddy has a dream about his wife who very much tells them the truth.
205
She does this throughout all the hallucinations and here she says that Rachel is here.
206
This is signifying that she is her but the way we're meant to take it is that she's still on the island.
207
Water starts to see from her abdomen along with blood and this was the location where Teddy shot her.
208
Teddy wraps his arms around her and this moment resembles the painting
209
The Kiss by Gustav Klimt.
210
She also tells him that Andrew Ledes is here too
211
which carries a double meaning that sends him off on his quest to find him.
212
From here they start questioning the patients and the first one brings up a glass of water.
213
They also speak with Mrs Kearns who I believe is actually a friend of Teddy.
214
Like him she killed her partner and she seems to want to protect him.
215
When asked if she knows Andrew latest she gets up and walks out and she also writes run in the character's notepad.
216
The fact that she does this makes me believe that they were close.
217
and that she was trying to warn him about what was really going on.
218
Look at her reaction with this in mind and I think it becomes clear that this entire scenario is breaking her heart.
219
Did you ever meet a patient named Andrew Laidus?
220
No, never heard of it.
221
At this point Teddy and Chuck head out
222
and the former admits he requested the case because Andrew Laidus lit the match which caused the fire that killed his wife.
223
He's slowly starting to piece it together
224
and they head to the graveyard as it's the one place no one would notice a body being hid.
225
Teddy tells Chuck about what happened when he reached the concentration camp
226
and we learn that he and his platoon gunned down the guards that they were supposed to arrest.
227
I'm gonna ruin this scene cause it was ruined for me but when we go along the guards,
228
right at the end you can catch one on the floor smirking before he then plays dead.
229
I bloody hope you're blacklisted from Hollywood, you ruined the movie, you fer.
230
A paranoia starts to see
231
Ben as it's revealed that Hedy was gonna blow the lid on the experiments that were being carried out on the island.
232
Thus he starts to suspect he was brought in by the shrinks to get him
233
so that he could stop everything getting out.
234
The fake Rachel is presented to them
235
and you can see the reactions by the characters as they start to figure things out.
236
Love the little smirks they do here almost nodding along like he's finally figured it out.
237
Rachel talks about how she drowned her children
238
and after telling the story she starts to act like his wife foreshadowing the anagram reveal.
239
That night Teddy has a dream that he sees Rachel and her child amongst the camp victims.
240
The child stands up and says that you should have saved us all
241
and this represents the guilt that Teddy feels over not taking his wifes mental issues seriously.
242
She told him about it but he brushed it off and this eventually led to their deaths.
243
He also sees my man Casey Jones playing Latis who lights up a match and holds it to his face.
244
He is the delusion and the match being held up this way continues the idea that he's the embodiment of this.
245
Rachel arrives during this and shows him the murder of their children and Dolores then comes in and Teddy says this line.
246
This actually foreshadows this line later on.
247
This then pays off at the end in one of the final scenes we get.
248
Now the next day they head into the restricted ward and they're approached by a guard who does this upon leaving.
249
This is such a creepy moment and it might even make you think that an inmate has dressed up as a god.
250
However in hindsight he clearly finds the whole game hilarious and is laughing at Teddy and how ridiculous this all is.
251
Eventually he then comes across Noice who gives the entire game away.
252
Very obvious one but hey we're just being thorough.
253
This is the first time that Teddy's been alone on the island though
254
and it's important to bear in mind as to why Noice doesn't keep up the illusion here.
255
Noice directs him to the lighthouse and both he and Chuck end up heading out to it.
256
Chuck seemingly takes a fall over the edge though with his body lying on the rocks below.
257
This is later washed away by water, symbolising that it was never real.
258
The thing that pulls him back into the illusion is the fire from the cave
259
which is where he meets the quote unquote real Rachel.
260
She says...
261
You were a nurse?
262
I was a doctor marshal.
263
This is clearly her commenting on her actual role and why she's being given such a high profile role in the illusion.
264
She spouts off about how the island is secretly trying to build super soldiers through brainwashing people
265
and removing parts of their brains so that they feel nothing.
266
That morning we see Teddy asleep
267
and there's another flash of lightning even though there's no storm again hitting at things being off.
268
Peaked up by the warden, my man Buffalo Bill spouts off about violence and he tells Teddy that he's as violent as they come.
269
Upon making it back to the mainland we see the patients being out that Teddy interviewed earlier.
270
They are clearly pointing at him
271
and even the gods tell them to stop looking at him so that they don't give the game away.
272
They clearly say stop looking at him and Corley says
273
that someone got so wound up by Noises stories that they beat him up a couple of weeks ago.
274
This is revealed to be Teddy and we discover later that he called him latest which is what broke him.
275
Now it's revealed that this exercise has been carried out before with Teddy
276
and it worked but he regressed which is why they're trying one final time.
277
Corley also says and Teddy then showers very much representing the cold reality that he's just been given.
278
He wants more runs into Dr. Jeremiah who f*s bumbles with a needle in his hand.
279
Though it seems like they're trying to drug him because he's exposing what they're potentially doing, this is actually because he's terrified Teddy might lash out.
280
Teddy believes that
281
Chuck has been kidnapped and that they're using him in the experiments.
282
He then sees a vision of Dolores and says
283
that he wears the tie because she gave it to him but that it's ugly.
284
Nice way to say thanks for the gift.
285
He ends up using it to destroy a car, once more shedding a part of his past.
286
The fire Peter washes over his wife and daughter
287
but they don't die and thus it once more hammers home the idea that this element represents an illusion.
288
Before it blows he sees what's apparently Rachels daughter and she walks over to Dolores.
289
This is actually her child and this is another clue that it's the pair who are related.
290
Teddy dives into the water before swimming to the lighthouse
291
and this is very much a baptism for him that reveals the truth.
292
Cawley then starts to bring everything to light with Chuck revealing that he's actually his doctor.
293
The pair want to avoid the lobotomy as they think that
294
if the pair come to the revelations of what they've done on their own
295
that they'll be able to heal themselves without the need for surgery.
296
Teddy, or well Andrew, we'll call him that from now to stop the confusion,
297
Andrew grabs his gun and fires away which makes it seem like the doctor was hit.
298
The fantasy keeps up for a split second but it fades and the gun is revealed to be a toy.
299
Andrew is then shown the corpses of his children including his daughter Rachel who he dreams about nightly.
300
She tells him that he could have saved her and this is the final thing that makes him realise the truth.
301
But watching the scene play out we see Andrew shitting his wife
302
and he wakes up in a scene similar to The Wizard of Oz.
303
Everyone is around his bedside including the nurse who played Rachel originally.
304
We learn that Andrew created these fantasies because he couldn't face up to what happened with his wife and also their children.
305
He blames himself for all of it
306
because he refused to get his wife help and it seems like there's finally been a breakthrough.
307
However, one way or another Andrew wants to hide the truth from himself.
308
The initial regression was carried out because he couldn't face up to it
309
and realising that he'll now have to live with it, I believe that he plays up the fantasy once more so that he's lobotomised.
310
When he sits down with Dr Sheehan he says to him
311
that he has to go back to the mainland and calls him Chuck.
312
It's a heartbreaking moment and watching the performance that
313
Mark Ruffalo gives here really carries the scene.
314
Just the subtle nod to the dark death tells us
315
so much and we see the defeat wash over him as he realises his more gentler tactics have failed.
316
Andrew then says this...
317
Which would be worse, to live as a monster or to die as a good man?
318
And it's a line that I think will haunt everyone who sees this movie.
319
I think it's said to Chuck to let him know
320
that this kind of approach worked however he cannot live with himself and it's just too devastating.
321
He willingly walks forward to his lobotomy
322
and had he really been in the fantasy I don't think the character would have carried this out
323
but it's what Andrew wishes to do and we end the film with a shot on the lighthouse summing up his fate.
324
It's something that's stuck with me since I first saw it
325
and I hope you've enjoyed our retread through the movie and all the clues in it.
326
Obviously I'd love to hear your thoughts on the film so make sure you comment below and let me know.
327
I know there's people who think Teddy does go back into
328
the fantasy at the end rather than being a choice
329
so let me know below what you think as there's a hell of a lot to talk about.
330
Now if you want something else to watch then make sure you check out our breakdown of Memento
331
which will be linked on screen right now.
332
It's a really great in depth video going over everything in the movie
333
and hopefully I see you over there right after this.
334
That out the way I've been Paul, this is The Heavy Spoilers Show and I hope to see you next time.
335
You take care, enjoy 2023, all the best, peace.

Aussprache, auf die du achten solltest
Der Sprecher verwendet 63 Kurzformen und abgeschwächte Formen, zum Beispiel they're, we're, don't. Sprich sie in der kurzen Form, so wie du sie hörst.
- Die „th“-Laute: thin /ˈθɪn/, thumb /ˈθʌm/, thorough /ˈθʌɹoʊ/, breakthrough /ˈbɹeɪk.θɹuː/
- Die Laute „sh“ und „zh“: illusion /ɪˈl(j)uːʒ(ə)n/, concentration /ˌkɑn.sənˈtɹeɪ.ʃən/, wash /wɑʃ/, flash /flæʃ/, shore /ʃɔɹ/
- Lange Wörter – auf die Betonung achten: experiment /ɪkˈspɛɹ.ə.mənt/, concentration /ˌkɑn.sənˈtɹeɪ.ʃən/, psychology /saɪˈkɑ.lə.d͡ʒi/, elaborate /ɪˈlæb.ə.ɹeɪt/, revelation /ˌɹɛv.əˈleɪ.ʃən/
Laute, die Deutschsprachigen schwerfallen:
- /w/ — mit runden Lippen, nicht wie das deutsche „w“ (/v/): twist /twɪst/, wash /wɑʃ/, warn /woɹn/, whereas /(h)wɛɹˈæz/, ward /wɔɹd/
- Stimmhafter Auslaut — /b/, /d/, /g/, /z/, /v/ am Wortende nicht verhärten: freeze /ˈfɹiːz/, mainland /ˈmeɪnlənd/, narrative /ˈnæɹ.ə.tɪv/, cave /keɪv/, surround /səˈɹaʊnd/
- /æ/ — offener als „ä“: flash /flæʃ/, narrative /ˈnæɹ.ə.tɪv/, elaborate /ɪˈlæb.ə.ɹeɪt/, glance /ɡlæns/, naturally /ˈnæt͡ʃ.(ə.)ɹə.li/
So übst du mit diesem Video
- Höre dir das ganze Video einmal an, ohne zu sprechen, und notiere die Wörter, die du nicht kennst.
- Beginne mit 0,75-facher Geschwindigkeit, sprich Satz für Satz nach und wechsle zur normalen Geschwindigkeit, sobald es leichtfällt.
- Nimm dich auf und vergleiche mit dem Original; achte dabei auf Wörter wie illusion, lighthouse, experiment.
Was ist die Shadowing-Technik?
Shadowing ist eine wissenschaftlich fundierte Sprachlerntechnik, die ursprünglich für die professionelle Dolmetscherausbildung entwickelt und durch den Polyglotten Dr. Alexander Arguelles populär gemacht wurde. Die Methode ist einfach aber wirkungsvoll: Du hörst englisches Audio von Muttersprachlern und wiederholst es sofort laut — wie ein Schatten, der dem Sprecher mit nur 1–2 Sekunden Verzögerung folgt. Anders als passives Hören oder Grammatikübungen zwingt Shadowing dein Gehirn und deine Mundmuskulatur, gleichzeitig echte Sprachmuster zu verarbeiten und zu reproduzieren. Studien zeigen, dass es Aussprachegenauigkeit, Intonation, Rhythmus, verbundene Sprache, Hörverständnis und Sprechflüssigkeit signifikant verbessert — was es zu einer der effektivsten Methoden für die IELTS Speaking-Vorbereitung und reale englische Kommunikation macht.
