So the much-awaited Martin Scorsese film was released on Friday, and I headed to the theater this weekend to catch this psychological thriller flick. My main reason? Why, because Leonardo DiCaprio starred in it, of course.
My adoration for Leonardo DiCaprio goes back to the days when he was just a teen, and became a cast member on "Growing Pains."
Then came "Titanic," which brought him to the A list of actors...especially in the eyes of all teen girls, who couldn't get their hands on YM (a teen magazine) soon enough, because that adorable, dimple-smiled face graced the cover.
So, anyway, I digress. I went to see "Shutter Island," which was a really long movie (with trailers, I was in the theater for 2hrs 35 minutes). Leonardo DiCaprio did not disappoint. He put his heart and his soul into each scene, and his presence is worth watching the movie. While personally, this movie theme is not my cup of tea, the storyline was interesting (barring a couple of cringe-worthy scenes...like that one with all the rats...yikes...I couldn't look). The most shocking part for me was the ending...yes, there was a twist....if the word "thriller" and Scorsese are in the same sentence (e.g., "Departed"), then yes, expect a twist in the end.
