The premiere of "Shutter Island" was arranged at the Dolby Theater in Los Angeles, at about six o'clock in the afternoon, a Chevrolet slowly drove to the red carpet, got out of the car, Xiansen wore a white suit, and walked towards the theater with Rachel, because Rachel did not appear in the cast list, so this appearance made all media reporters wonder if this girl would be Xiansen's girlfriend.

Following behind Xiansen is Leonardo, as soon as this powerful idol appeared, the scene screamed, countless female fans waved their hands frantically to take pictures, if it weren't for the separation belt and security guards to maintain order, it is estimated that they would have rushed in, and Leonardo also scratched his bag and sent a flying kiss after seeing these female fans, this behavior directly caused several girls to feel dizzy.

In addition to the main creative staff of the crew, Xiansen also specially invited some good friends in the circle, of course, these people are not well-known at present, such as Jack Gyllenshill, this is the friend Xiansen made when the crew of "Illusion of Death" ran errands, that is, the one who said that he wanted to invite Xiansen to drink. (See chap. VII)

As the leading actor of the movie "Illusion of Death", Jack hesitated for a long time at first about Xiansen's invitation, after all, his identity was a little sensitive, but unexpectedly, Richard Kelly called Jack at the time after learning about it and strongly recommended that he accept the invitation. Of course, attending the premiere of "Shutter Island" is best accompanied by the promotion of "Death Hallucination", which is Richard's original intention.

In addition to Jack, Xiansen also called Julie Barrymore, maybe many people will think that this behavior is deliberately disgusting to each other, but to be honest, Xiansen really doesn't have this kind of thought, more than half a year has passed, he doesn't care about those things very much, people don't live in negative emotions, for Jule, and even for Reese, Xiansen has long been reluctant to care, of course, the relationship between them has not returned to the past.

As night fell, the bustling and noisy Los Angeles gradually calmed down, and the red carpet outside the Dolby Theater was empty, except for a few cleaning cleaners and patrolling security guards, only a few fans with posters sitting at the door, who had not bought tickets for the premiere.

In the screening hall of the Dolby Theater, it was already full at this time, the main creators of "Shutter Island" and the invited guests were sitting in the front position, in order not to disturb the fans' viewing emotions, this premiere specially arranged an area for media reporters, this area is somewhat side and back, although not very happy, these media can only suffer silently, who let there be a group of audiences outside who have not bought tickets, if you want to stay, you are welcome to vacate the place at any time.

The movie is about to be shown, and the theater is still bustling with sounds, and everyone is looking forward to the next two hours, looking forward to Mister Sen, who will touch the United States with a short film, to shock himself again.

Sitting in a special seat in the front row, Xiansen also quietly looked at the huge screen in the center, his mood was a little surging, and the scenes since the filming of "Shutter Island" appeared in his mind: from the beginning of the task given by the system to the doubts of the outside world, to the various difficulties in filming and the establishment of the film studio, the gambling war between the media, the confident publicity, the sudden 911, and the fantastic overnight success

In the past six months, Xiansen feels as if he has spent centuries in a time machine, with curses (systematic punishment), surprises (the excellence of the five-star script), deception (Reese tells the truth), doubts (media doubts about high-IQ movies), difficulties (Leonardo's fear of heights), gains (Bella Marceau's joining), disasters (911 incident), surnames (relationship with Rachel), and touches and miracles (repercussions after the broadcast of "Hope")

"Life is unimaginable."

Holding Rachel's small hand beside him, Xiansen couldn't help but sigh. Hearing this, Rachel gently snuggled on Xiansen's shoulder, blinked, and smiled slyly: "That's right, but life is always full of surprises." ”

"Ahem, convergence, convergence, look at this row, but they are all bachelors."

Sitting on the other side of Xiansen was Leonardo, who couldn't help but interrupt when he saw the couple's heads getting closer and closer: "Mister, there are so many reporters here, and when they see you, you are molesting underage girls." ”

Rachel is actually an adult, but she just looks like a little girl of fourteen or fifteen years old, and Leonardo's words make fun of both of them.

At this time, the lights in the screening room suddenly went out, and everyone fell silent, only to see a light shoot out of the projector hanging from the ceiling, and the screen gradually lit up, and the screening began. Everyone held their breath, and the media reporters were staring intently at the screen, finally here!

The screen lit up little by little, after the unique goddess logo of Columbia holding a torch, a star map appeared, each star appeared in the universe is very bright, the vast universe, revealing a mysterious feeling, suddenly, the picture quickly pushed forward, like time travel, to the deepest part of the universe, this is a black hole, in the deepest part of the black hole, a light screen appeared, and the name of each crew member appeared on it little by little.

Starring: Leonardo DiCaprio, Jodie Foster

Producers: Mister Sen, Cook Blair

The names of the staff flashed like this, until finally, the entire black hole began to shake and collapse, and a dazzling bright light swallowed up all the darkness, and in the center of the bright light, there was only one name.

Director: Mister Sen!

This is the opening animation of Black Hole Film Studios, indicating that the light is actually in the deepest part of the darkness.

Seeing his name gradually blur and dissipate, Xiansen showed a smile on his face, the second movie has begun!

The screen was gray, there was the sound of flowing water, and the whistle seemed to be faintly heard, and after about three or four seconds, the fog gradually dissipated, and a ferry loomed, with a person standing at the bow, looking into the distance.

The picture turns, in the bathroom of the cabin, a person squatting there vomiting, waiting for this person to stand up, wash his face with water, look at his tired self in the mirror, and keep muttering to himself: "Eon, Teddy, cheer up." After saying that, he panted and turned around, holding on to the sink, and couldn't help retching.

"Wow!"

Seeing this scene, the audience couldn't help but open their mouths in surprise, this person is none other than Leonardo, you must know that Leonardo became famous with a big ship, compared to the graceful appearance on the Titanic, this seasick state is really ironic. However, everyone affirmed Leonardo's acting skills, and this is worthy of being a powerful idol actor.

Leonardo's dress is very retro, and with the help of the makeup artist, the whole person looks several years old.

Walking out of the cabin, a man was standing at the bow of the boat looking at the scenery, wearing a hat and chewing gum, and when he saw Leonardo coming out, he turned around and said easily: "Are you okay, boss?" ”

"I'm just seasick."

Leonardo frowned, and then asked, "You are my new partner." ”

"That's right."

After a pause, the man smiled and said, "You are not the same as the legendary Teddy Daniel. ”

"Legends? What did you guys make up again in Portland? ”

"Seattle, I'm from the Seattle branch!"

In Leonardo's somewhat puzzled eyes, the man continued to ask, "Do you have a girlfriend?" Married? ”

"It used to be."

The camera gives Leonardo a close-up at this time, and the frowning brow that has been frowning moves slightly, falling into memory.

The picture gives the scene in the memory, the style of the music suddenly changes, and in an ambiguous feeling, a woman carefully ties a tie for Leonardo, and the audience who has watched "The Silence of the Lambs" knows very well that this woman is played by Jodie Foster

Such an opening quickly aroused the interest of the audience, and everyone had their own doubts in their hearts, such as why Leonardo did not know where his subordinates came from, where their ship was going, and what their purpose was.

In the midst of this confusion, the movie continues, the destination of the ship is a small island, and the whole picture of the island is given on the screen, and the whole island looks particularly shocking due to the low color temperature of the picture.

The ship gradually sailed into the dock, where a group of guards with guns were waiting for Leonardo, got off the boat, through the communication with the guards, the beginning of the story gradually became clear, this island is called Shutter Island, only through the dock can you leave here, and Leonardo and their destination is a psychiatric hospital called Ashe on the Shutter Island. As for Leonardo's identity, the answer is also given here, the federal police, a profession that looks cool.

Led by the warden, Leonardo and his subordinate Chuck (Mark Ruffalo) take a car to the psychiatric hospital, and on the way, when passing a cemetery, there is such a tombstone that reads: "rememberusforwetoohavelivedlovedandlaughed." (Remember that we have lived, loved, and laughed)

When the group came to the gate of the Ashe Mental Hospital, the warden emphasized the characteristics of the three wards, and the members of the crew knew that in fact, this so-called Ashe Hospital was the Medfield Mental Hospital, but it was called differently in the movie.

At this time, many patients in the compound were moving, they were all wearing shackles and handcuffs, and the atmosphere was very eerie, some patients waved their hands in a friendly manner when they saw Leonardo, while some silently hid to the side. The patients were dressed in white and accompanied by guards, who were monitored by guards around the hospital.

"There must be a secret on this island!"

All the viewers were convinced of such an idea, and the idea quickly took root in their brains!

The warden then took Leonardo to meet the director and doctor of the mental hospital, John Cowley. The character, played by Steve Buscemi, needs a pass when he walks into the office, and the infrared light on the ID card can show whether the person is allowed to enter, and the locked iron door has a warning bell light installed, which looks very rudimentary and quite odd.

On the walls of Dr. John Cowley's office are paintings documenting some of the methods used by the hospital to treat the mentally ill since it opened.

"The images are accurate."

Dr. John Cowley, played by Steve Buscemi, talks to Leonardo with a pipe and looks at the paintings on the wall, Dr. John Cowley has a unique look, with a shaved head and some hair on the back of his head, and he doesn't look like a good guy at first glance.

"This is the kind of patient we used to deal with, shackled, left unasked, often beaten, as if only whipping could drive away demons." Without a pause, Steve Buscemi continued: "Hammer the screw into its head and press it into the icy water until it falls unconscious, or even drowns. ”

Steve Buscemi said this calmly, but Leonardo in the picture was in pain, as if he was suffering from some kind of torment inside.

"And now?"

The camera shows Chuck, the police assistant sitting there taking notes, his expression relaxed.

"We treat them and try to heal them, and even if it doesn't work, it will bring confidence and peace to their lives."

After listening to John Cowley's words, Leonardo turned his face and said sadly: "They are all criminals, and they have even killed people, and in my personal opinion, these people don't need to give them any peace." ”

Leonardo's reaction was ambivalent, and after a moment of thought, he began to talk to Dr. John Cowley about the purpose of his visit.

"It's started, it's finally coming!"

Xiansen is well aware of this plot, and it can be said that this is the most important place in the whole story, and from here, a story will be implanted in the audience's mind, a story that they will never be able to get rid of. turned around and secretly glanced at the audience in the back row, everyone was looking at the screen intently, and their eyes were unwilling to blink.

"Among the female patients, Rachel Sanlando, escaped a day ago, between 10 and 12 o'clock last night."

"She's dangerous?"

"So to speak, she killed all three of her children, drowned them in her lake, and pressed them into the water one by one until they drowned. Then she carried them back to the table, where she was eating when the neighbor visited. As for his husband, he died on the Normandy landings. ”

Speaking of which, Dr. John Cowley took out Rachel's photo, and looking at the person in the photo, Leonardo felt a tingling in his head, and some horrific images kept flashing through his mind.

"Sorry, doctor, do you have aspirin here?"

Hearing this request, Dr. John Cowley gave Leonardo a small cup of medicine and continued: "Rachel still believes that the child is alive, and she also thinks that this is her home in Berkshire, and she never thinks of herself as a mental hospital in her four years in this mental hospital, she thinks that we are all delivery men, milkmen, and postmen, and in order to keep the illusion that the child is alive, she also creates complex fictional scenes, and we all become her characters in fictional scenes. ”

Leonardo was not very interested in this topic, but digressed the topic and asked, "Have you searched it?" ”

"The dean led the people to search the island, there was no trace, and what is even more disturbing is that we don't know how she left the room, the door was locked from the outside, and the only window had an iron bar, as if she had evaporated through the wall."

Later, Dr. John Cowley took Leonardo to Rachel's hospital room, which revealed a lot of strange places, and some attentive viewers found that there were two large pairs of men's leather shoes in the shoe cabinet, and Chuck shook the two pairs of shoes in front of Leonardo, and quipped: "You can't walk ten yards barefoot in this terrain." ”

However, the federal police officer played by Leonardo did not react in the slightest, but searched the floor on his own, and suddenly, he found the corner of a small note, which read: The Rule of Four, who is Patient 67?

After walking out of the ward, he led directly to a hall where there were many male patients, some of them were big, some were smoking, and an old man was yelling into the air.

"No, it's weird here!"

Xiansen heard an audience member involuntarily whispering to himself and questioning himself, but after thinking about it for a long time, he never got an answer as to what was wrong. And just as he was thinking about it, the movie had come to the edge of the cliff.

At the seashore, a bunch of guards had been waiting here for a long time, and the warden and Leonardo talked about the impossibility of Rachel escaping the island barefoot, and said that if the body fell into the sea, it would be washed up on the shore, and pointed to the cliff. Leonardo looked and asked if he had searched the cave there? The warden replied that it was full of poison ivy, and it was impossible to climb into the cave.

After dinner, all the staff were in the break room, and when asked who Rachel had to pass through that night to escape, everyone pointed to Gran, the guard, and Leonardo asked if he had seen Rachel escape, to which Gran said no. Leonardo didn't believe this, stood up, stared into Gran's eyes and said, "Tell me the truth!" ”

"I'm going to the toilet!"

Upon hearing this, Dr. John Cowley angrily said, "You broke the rules! ”

"There must be something wrong with this hospital!"

An audience member suddenly stood up and couldn't help shouting, and only after shouting did he realize that he seemed to disturb others, so he sat back in his place and continued to watch the movie embarrassed.

Leonardo continued to inquire when a female nurse provided a clue and she said the name of a doctor, Rachel's attending doctor, Sean.

Later, when asked about Dr. Sean's whereabouts, John Cowley said that he was on vacation, and Leonardo wanted to talk to Dr. Sean, but none of the phone lines could get through.

The story is a little confusing, everyone's interest is aroused, sitting in the seat, Hathaway feels that her heart is beating a little slowly, this is a sign of nervousness, she has forgotten that she is coming to see Leonardo, surrounded by the stereo sound of the movie theater, Hathaway couldn't help swallowing her saliva, the popcorn next to her, at this time has not moved at all, she doesn't want to miss any shots.

Finally, Dr. John Cowley got off work and invited Leonardo to his house, where Leonardo met Dr. Narlin, and Mahler's works were placed in the room, and Leonardo's mind also had a memory in his mind: a German officer who committed suicide, and the German team outside the window was persecuting people, and he kicked his pistol to prevent him from committing suicide in order to punish the German officer

The face of the German [***] official has a deep wound and blurred flesh and blood, it looks disgusting, many female viewers can't help but close one eye, and they don't want to miss any shot, but they can't bear to look at this terrifying picture, it's really a contradictory choice.

Coming out of Dr. John Cowley's house, the warden drove Leonardo and his assistant Chuck back to the psychiatric hospital, where at night while sleeping, Leonardo dreamed of her wife.

In the sound of music, the picture on the screen becomes beautiful but terrifying, and the house is full of black dust, this is an apartment in the city, Leonardo is wearing a suit and leather shoes, and the expression on his face is very painful.

"I killed a lot of people in the war."

Leonardo said reproachfully as he walked, and across from him was a woman, his wife, played by Jodie Foster.

"So you're drinking?"

Holding the bottle, a sad expression appeared on Judy's face.

"Are you real?"

Leonardo did not answer, but asked a question instead, and as he spoke, he reached out to touch his wife.

“no！”

Jodie Foster shook her head, her expression was weird, she lowered her head, and after a moment she looked up and said, "She's still here." ”

“who？ Rachel? ”

"She never left!"

Jodie Foster said with a smirk.

With that, Jodie Foster walked to the window, and the music became sad, and from the window it looked like a view of a lake.

"Remember our cottage by the lake? So happy then, she's here, you can't go! ”

After saying that, Jodie Foster turned around, and what made all the audience feel terrifying appeared, and Jodie Foster's back was scorched.

"I'm not going to go, I love you so much."

Leonardo walked to Judy's side and gently hugged Judy from behind, and at this moment, an even more terrifying scene appeared, in Judy's hands, water continued to flow, and then blood was still flowing from her abdomen, and the blood stained the clothes all the floor red.

"Hathaway, I'm scared."

Hathaway came to the cinema with a sixteen or seventeen-year-old boy who was also his younger brother, and after seeing the terrible scene, the boy couldn't help but pull his sister's arm.

"It's okay, it's not a horror movie"

Hathaway shivered and comforted her brother, she really wanted to leave this position, but her ass didn't listen to her brain.

In the Dolby Theater, reporters and film critics are similarly silent, and to be honest, at this point in the plot, they don't see the end of the story at all, nor do they see what the truth is.

Michelle Clarkson, a special commentator for "The Hollywood Reporter", held a blank notebook, more than 30 minutes into the beginning of the movie, he actually failed to write a word, which is really unexpected, if only these 30 minutes, then Michelle dares to guarantee that this is the most wonderful suspense film he has seen this year, no, it should be said that it is the best I have seen in recent years, this movie involves World War II, isolated islands, mental hospitals and other special topics, the most valuable thing is that the logic of the story can be so clear, Where exactly is Rachel? Michelle felt that he could forget about being a film critic for a while, he just wanted to be a spectator, he just wanted to continue watching.
