Shutter Island Film Analysis - 1435 Words

The following is written to examine a connection made between the varying texts using manipulation and how it impacts the audience’s perception of reality. The texts I will include which are evident of manipulation are Shutter Island a visual thriller directed by Martin Scorsese, Inception a visual action, adventure conducted by Christopher Nolan, Twelfth Night written by William Shakespeare, and Tell-Tale Heart produced by Edgar Allan Poe.

Daniels realizes his guilt through the way the characters have helped him to discover who he really is, Daniels is able to sum it up to the audience through the dialogue â€Å"Which would be worse: To live as a monster, or to die as a good man?† The audience is able to understand that Daniels has accepted his reality, making him the ‘good man’. A common theme today is not accepting reality or being in denial, this is due to the way denying the reality of something enables the body to cope (bodies defence mechanism1). The character of Daniels helps to influence today’s society by showing us that accepting the reality we create is better than to regret or deny it. Thus, changing the way, we perc eive reality. In the film Inception , Nolan influences the audience to connect to the character of Dominic Cobb. Like ‘Shutter Island’ the character (Cobb) in this film is also revolved around. Nolan uses a theme evident in today’s society, the perception of reality to develop and connect the portrayal of Cobb and connect the audience. In terms of Cobb, this theme can be translated to his internal conflict of dreams versus reality. Nolan inflects an emotional connection to Cobb and the audience through this internal conflict.
