Shutter Island is a psychological thriller directed and produced by Martin Scorsese, based on the novel by Dennis Lehane. Main actors: Leonardo DiCaprio, Mark Ruffalo, Ben Kingsley. 1954. Two U.S. Marshals (agenti), Edward “Teddy” Daniels and Chuck Aule go to Ashecliffe Hospital for the criminally insane on Shutter Island, Boston Harbor. A patient , Rachel Solando, accused of having murdered her children, has disappeared. The investigation is difficult: the lead psychiatrist, Dr. John Cawley does not show the record of the staff; Solando’s doctor is on holiday; and they can explore neither (né) the ward (reparto) where the patient was, neither the lighthouse (faro) where there are the most dangerous. Daniels starts having headaches (mal di testa), visions and dreams of his wife, killed in a fire (incendio). In one dream, she tells Daniels that Solando is still on the island. Suddenly Solando is found by the staff with no explanation. A patient, reveals Daniels that in the hospital are performed (fatti) dubious experiments on patients, the incurable are sent to the lighthouse to be lobotomized and that all of them are playing a game to distract him (un gioco per distrarlo). Daniels and Aule go to the lighthouse, but they are somehow (in qualche modo) separated. Daniels finds a woman in a cave(cavern), who says she is the real Rachel Solando : she was a former (prima era) psychiatrist but, after discovering what the doctors were doing, she was committed (è stata internata) as a patient. Daniels returns to the hospital. No sign (traccia) of Aule. Daniels decides to go back to the lighthouse and breaks into it (irrompe). At the top (in cima), he finds the lead psychiatrist (capo psichiatra) who tells him he is their most dangerous patient, who murdered (uccide) his manic depressive wife after she drowned their children. The past events were designed to take him to the truth (riportarlo alla verità)…………
