Shutter Island(2010) - English

I must begin with awe. shutter Island is an excellent piece of movie starring Leonardo DiCaprio (as Mr. Teddy Marshal) and Ben Kingsly (as Dr. Cowley). It is a horror-psychology thriller that can catch your full-length attention. Movie begins with the arrival of Mr. Teddy and Mr. Chuck, who are U S Marshals, to the Shutter Island. It is a lonely island where the criminally insane and so very dangerous patients are treated. The cops are there to investigate the missing of a patient. But later they realize that the place is really one intended to experiment with human minds and to make them do spy work. Teddy wants it to stop. But then he learns that the hospital people are trying to declare him as insane by secretly giving him psycholeptic drugs. Teddy is on fight against the authorities. But on way to the end of the movie, Teddy is forced to accept hard realities giving the audience a wonderful movie experience.
I recommend this as a must-watch movie.

One Flew Over the Cuckoo's Nest(1975) - English

 

The movie centred on a Mental Hospital tells the story of Randal McMurphy(Jack Nicholson) who is brought there for evaluation after he has been arrested for crime many times. McMurphy is very peculiar and kind of a rebel. He becomes favourite of the other patients there and his different attitudes help in the progress of them also. He outsmarts the oppressive nurse Miss Ratched who was a dictator there. He could inspire others also and help them acquire a self-esteem. One such man is Chief Bromden, who is ending the story in very touching manner. Performance of Nicholson as McMurphy is stunning and no wonder he bagged Oscar for it.

Priyadarshan's താളവട്ടം seems to be a remake of this classic movie, with added comedy and Keralite sentiments.
