"Shutter Island" is edited by Thelma Schoonmaker, who's worked with Scorsese his entire career and won three Oscars - not the kind of person you'd expect to make mistakes. Plus, there's a cigarette that lights itself between cuts. And when Teddy interrogates a prisoner named George Noyce (Jackie Earle Haley), George has his hand on his head when we see him head-on, but it disappears when we see him from behind.
Cawley (Kingsley), his glass of soda teleports from his hand to the table between shots. If you like to read the books on which movies and TV shows are based you can check out either Read the Book – Then See the Film which has a listing of books that are in the process of being made into movies, or Books into Film which lists books that have already been made into movies or adapted for television.Įither way you can annoy people you know by telling them the ending or complaining about how the TV/Film adaption “missed the point”, is obviously “not as good as the book” and if you particularly don’t like someone you could say that the film is a good introduction for people who may not have it in them to read the proper version.But if you're watching "Shutter Island" closely, you'll see it breaks those rules.
So if you like psychological thrillers that slowly ratchet up the pace to a zenith, you should definitely grab Shutter Island. No, not really, it was actually AWESOME! And not an aged-teen-heart-throb-on-the-decline in sight.
I got it out, read it in two nights and it totally sucked. For most people, that would be enough to stop them experiencing this psychological drama, but I’m not a mere movie-goer, I’m a movie-going Librarian! I looked it up on the Read the Book – Then See the Film section of our website and found that the movie is based on a book written by Dennis Lehane, who also wrote Mystic River and Gone, Baby, Gone. Thanks goodness for books! I saw the trailer for “Shutter Island” and before I could even say how great I thought it looked, the dreaded words “Starring Leonardo DiCaprio” came up on the screen.
