"Which would be worse - to live as a monster, or to die as a good man?"

Rating: 9/10 (23 February 2016)

I have seen the film "Shutter Island" with Leonardo DiCaprio and Mark Ruffalo in main roles. The director of the film is Martin Scorsese. It is a psychological thriller.
The atmosphere of mystery wraps a spectator from the first minute. According to the plot, Edward Daniels and Chuck Aule are two U.S.Marshals and they come to an island. There is a prison for mental patients. Their purpose is to inspect the conditions of patients living. Besides, they want to find out if the patients suffer from some medical experiments. Gradually, Edward begins to hurt from headaches, dreams and awful visions. He hallucinates that he had been here before, but he cant understand everything. Unexpectedly, the main hero realizes that he is a criminal, who killed his wife. It was a great tragedy of all his life. He wondered, "Which would be worse - to live as a monster, or to die as a good man?"
The film is rather difficult and it gives us a deep understanding of human soul's suffering. In my opinion, this film is worth seeing, but it is not for the wide circle of spectators. I would recommend "Shutter Island" for those, who are interested in psychology of human relationships. I hope, they will appreciate this masterpiece of Martin Scorsese. As for me, I enjoyed actors' playing. They could deeply penetrate into human inner life and showed us all its contradictions and fights.
