Magnificent movies like Shutter Island must be seen and felt

Rating: 10/10 (18 December 2011)

I admit I haven't seen a much better mystery plot like the one on the Scorsese's movie Shutter Island. This mystery,intrigue and curiosity of what's going to happen next fills us since at the very beginning fog scene. But the movie itself wouldn't be so great without its music, Mahler's quartet for piano and strings in a minor at Dr.Naehring introduction in the movie causing the main character Teddy's(starring Di Caprio) flashback about years ago when he liberated the Dachau Konzentrationslager from Nazis and executed them all. The music is important because it touches our heart's wires more then the visual part,as in the dream and nightmare sequences of Teddy. The music throughout the movie mostly expresses pain( Teddy's memories), suspanse and scare(first nightmare scene at Dachau), but Mahler's strings in a minor at a particular part became very ironic and sarcastic showing that this movie has all the colors of the rainbow. Good job !
