There are many films out there but I believe that Shutter Island would make a great addition to the current movie list. Shutter Island is about a man who is sent to Shutter Island to conduct an investigation on an escapee. Teddy Daniels, the main character, is joined at the beginning of the movie by Chuck Aule who becomes his partner through the investigation. When the two get to the island they start out by asking around for information, but suddenly they find out that people are not talking. Through very much of the movie, there are twist and turns. Teddy has flash backs of his past and gains information through them. There ends up being a terrible storm and the men get stuck there. Since the movie was just released I do not want to reveal the ending. The movie was very good and I would recommend it to anyone to go see.
Although the movie does not deal directly will politics it does bring about a good strong line and struggle. Throughout the entire movie, Teddy deals with a person versus self conflict. He has many flashbacks that mess with his mind and affect the way he thinks and acts. The mental issues Teddy goes through shape him as a person and the movie. I believe this would be a great movie to add to the class.
