Shattered Island


"Shutter Island" was directed by Martin Scorsese.

I.

How much of war's atrocity can man endure?
How much of horror at home must he further endure?

Leonardo DiCaprio, as Teddy Daniels, and Michelle Williams, as Dolores Chanal (image credit)

II.

For Shutter Island is a metaphor for mind,
And Shutter Island is a pun for shattered mind.

III.

Live the monstrosity of what he had become,
Or with a carving die the good he could become.
