April Showers: Shutter Island
Tuesday, April 5, 2011 at 11:00PM waterworks weeknights at 11 as we turn on the cinematic shower.
For a movie I claim to have not liked at all, I really have been going back to Scorsese's Shutter Island (2010) repeatedly while blogging, haven't I? It just keeps coming up somehow. A lot of it is just too stiffly serious when it would have been a better sit had it swerved towards the archly horrific on occassion to offset its portentous Sturm und Drang.
But about those Sturms...
Pull yourself together Teddy. Pull yourself together. It's just water. It's a lot of water.
Teddy Daniels in Shutter Island is barely functional considering all the lakes, oceans and storms haunting him. So it's kind of pitiable that he also has to shower in the movie, too. Both times it's just so completely futile.
