shutter island
synopsis:
1954, U.S. Marshal Edward "Teddy" Daniels (Leonardo DiCaprio) and his newly assigned partner Chuck Aule (Mark Ruffalo), go to the Ashecliffe Hospital for the criminally insane on Shutter Island located in Boston Harbor. They are investigating the disappearance of Rachel Solando, a patient who apparently vanished from a locked room, leaving a note behind that reads: "THE LAW OF 4, WHO IS 67?" Dr. John Cawley (Ben Kingsley), the head psychiatrist, explains that Rachel was institutionalized after drowning her three children, but has been refusing to accept the reality of being in a mental hospital.
teddy was engrossed trying to unravel who is 67 based on rachel's note. he figured himself that the number '67' pertained to aeddis, whom he believes to be the institution's allegedly non-existent 67th patient (andrew laeddis was sent to Ashecliffe for his crime and then disappeared). even before it was revealed on the later part of the movie, i realized the significance of the pills teddy was forced to take every time his migraine attacks surges. the pills he took made him light-sensitive because it was actually intended to 'drug' him. teddy found that he was the subject of the experiment and Dr. Cawley told him that he came to the island without a partner – nobody seems to know Chuck (Mark Ruffalo as Chuck Aule). Dr. Cawley who reveals that Teddy is not Edward Daniels, but ex-Marshal Andrew Laeddis. Cawley says that he has been a patient at Ashecliffe for two years since he murdered his manic depressive wife in a fit of rage after discovering she had drowned their children. Cawley explains that Rachel Solando never existed, neither as patient nor psychiatrist. "Chuck" then arrives and reveals himself as Dr. Sheehan, Andrew's psychiatrist; the woman who was presented as Solando the patient turns out to be a nurse. Sheehan and Cawley state that Andrew lived the fantasy of still being an active U.S. Marshal, searching for Andrew Laeddis as a means to disassociate himself from what he had done. They show him that the names "Edward Daniels" and "Rachel Solando" are anagrams of "Andrew Laeddis" and "Dolores Chanal", respectively, thus constructing "the law of 4" (four names) and affirming Laeddis as being "67".
Cawley explains that Andrew has gone through repeated cycles of realizing the truth, only to regress into his fantasy again, during which he has injured multiple orderlies and patients, leading the administrative board to demand a lobotomy as a permanent solution to his problem. Sheehan and Cawley explain that they decided to try an experimental therapy, in which they created the role play of "Rachel's" disappearance based on Andrew's fantasy. They say they hoped that by failing to uncover his mind-control conspiracy, Andrew would see reality and return to it permanently.
