The movie I watched this week was “Safe”. I borrowed the DVD from NCCU Library because of its high comment.

     There was a Chinese girl named Mei, who can precisely memorized whatever she had read. Once, Mei was threatened to memorize a row of codes. Then, the Russian gang, Chinese Mafia, and the New York policemen were all commanded to catch her, getting the codes she had remembered. However, the Chinese girl met Luke, who was played by Jason Statham, during her escape at the train station. Since losing all he had, Luke decided to find the huge amount of money behind the codes with Mei.

     In the process that Mei and Luke came through the arduous barrier to survive, their communication became more and more close. In addition, each of them also saved the other one’s life in the desperate situations, and finally opened a new page of life.

Shutter Island

Leonardo DiCaprio played a policeman in the movie. He was commanded that he should go to Shutter Island, which imprisoned several mental patients, to investigate a case about a patient’s running away.

During his investigations, he found a huge scheme in the back of the case. The case concealed a military secret which was most cruel after the two World Wars: The US government conducted a research in order to control the communists by mental treatment.

However, when he wanted to open the horrible secret to all the world, the clues( about he was also a mental patients ) one after another he found gradually made him distrust himself! The ending of the movie didn’t give us a conclusion. It may also be that the policeman gave up opening the secret, admitting the fact that he was a mental patient. It also may be that he was certainly a mental patient, all that all the case, secret, and clues were created by his brain. That is the reason why I’m so fascinated with the movie. It gives whoever watches it limitless space to imagine!
