Shutter Island is a 2010 film directed by Martin Scorsese, and stars Leonardo DiCaprio. This film is absolutely amazing on every aspect. Leonardo Dicaprio gives one of best performances in this film, along with good performances from Ben Kingsley, Michelle Willams, Jackie Earle Haley and Mark Ruffalo. The script is complicated, well written, and after a second viewing, makes you realize that clues were left behind all along. But the best thing about this film is its atmosphere. The island is designed in an absolute perfect way. With telling Cinematography and symbolism sprinkled across its entirety. The films editing and sound are very commendable as well. The film contains a lot of symbolism. The fire and water complex, and the multiple subtle hints of dialogue and action throughout. The film's score is brillant. I didn't even know that "On The Nature Of Daylight", was originally from this film. This film creates a grand illusion to the protagonist and the viewer. For most of the film, you are left believing in a fake character created by a real person. The viewer is just like Andrew in the fact that the world around them (the film) is set up, staged, and an elaborate attempt to get them to accept their doing and regain sanity. I'll have to watch this film more times to get every context clue. Spoiler Alert: Andrew killed his wife after she killed his kids. He was sent there, and created a fake U.S. Marshal named Teddy Daniels, and created the disappearance of Rachel to have something to investigate. He is also looking for Andrew Laeddis. The man he says killed his wife, when it was actual him. In "reality", he was doing this to take the blame and guilt from himself, and not face reality. The doctors played along, and set up the entire story. He begins to believe that he was set it up by the Doctors, and that this place was a Nazi brain experimental camp, and begins to hallucinate. He eventually finds out about the scheme, and this is the second time its happend. In fact all of the dreams and nightmares he have, feature a girl saying save me, who we first belive to a jew prisoner, but is actually his daughter. He wakes up and appears to have accepted reality, but later, it is revealed that he hasnt, or has he. He walks off, presumably getting a lobotomy, so his memory and feeling will be evaporated. This is the way I interpret this.He has accepted what he has done, but cant live with it, so he pretends to still be Teddy, in order to get his brain washed. Basically, his self dies without having killed anymore people. Terrific film, haunting, disturbing, thrilling, perplexing and a reality mind bender. "we have the ability to deny reality even when it staring right back at it us, we always want to hold to what we want to be true." The denial of reality, the creation of blame on someone else, the guilt and the trauma from killing or doing something or someone you cant get rid of that feeling. Perspective is everything in the interpretation of this film.

Alien is a 1979 film directed by Ridley Scott. A breathtaking classic that influences the current genres of sc-fi, space films, horror, and thrillers. The films a masterclass in production design and Cinematography making it a very pleasing thing to view. Its scenes of suspense and jumpy horror kills are surprising, shocking, and influential. Its a epic sc-fi thriller/horror with solid performances. Humans venturing out and evenatully being hunted by the unknown, must survive under bizzare circumstances, where the governnent/NASA always knows more. As in one of their crew members being a designed robot who was sent to ensure the survival of the species, and didnt care about the crew members. And a female hero/lead in a sc-fi film in 1979 was a unique step. The film still holds up without looking too outdated. Its thrilling, horrific, beautiful, scary, horrifying, breathtaking and classic. A milestone of sound and visual effects as well. It's fairly minimalistic, yet so hard hitting. A very claustrophobic film. Ordinary people facing true fear and terror, with opossing pland and personalities, they must fight for and look out for each other

Overall, this film is a pointless, dumb, boringly written, and dragging feel good romance endeavor, however, the songs and performances are supringlsy entertaining, make it a few steps above awful. Way too long, a supreme lack of wit, and a messy gimmicky film
