In our series "Have You Seen?" we discuss a movie that some of us know well and others have just now seen for the first time. Our conversation focuses on the experience of someone watching the movie for the first time today and their reaction.This week we revisit Shutter Island from 2010, a neo-noir psychological thriller film directed by Martin Scorsese and starring Leonardo DiCaprio, Mark Ruffalo and Ben Kingsley, about a Deputy U.S. Marshal who comes to Shutter Island to investigate a psychiatric facility after one of the patients goes missing.We talk about our reactions to Shutter Island after having seen it for the first time, whether the movie's mystery holds up, why paying attention to the details makes for better movies, what goes into a proper mystery that holds up on repeat viewings, our interpretation of the movie's ending, and much more.Check out the video version here:https://youtu.be/gC25ulupXj8
