Daniel Island Realty
In Martin Scorsese’s latest thriller, two US Marshals, Teddy Daniels (Leonardo DiCaprio) and Chuck Aule (Mark Ruffalo) are sent to a mental institution for the criminally insane to investigate the mysterious disappearance of a female patient, Rachel Solando (Emily Mortimer), who apparently drowned all her children. As their investigation furthers, Daniels becomes suspicious of the lead psychiatrist, John Cawley (Ben Kingsley) and begins to think that he and his partner were just lured there to be part of some twisted experiments being carried out by the doctors. Daniels thusly tries to learn more about the twisted nature of the institution, despite being hounded by some very distressing hallucinations.
A Dark and Stormy Night
There has always been something fascinating regarding stories of the mad, especially those that prominently utilise the asylum. An audience’s lust for the horrific draws them towards the ancient madhouses that are more like torturous dungeons than institutes for aiding people with mental problems, like Arkham of Batman fame, or, the asylum can be a modern but sterile place where the doctors oppress the patients, and the viewer is made to root more for the delusional lunatics rather than the sane doctors, as seen in One Flew Over the Cuckoo’s Nest and K-Pax.
