Read our Review of Shutter Island
(explaining how mental patients used to be treated) "It used to be that the kind of patients we deal with here were shackled and left in their own filth. They were beaten as if whipping them bloody would drive their psychosis out. We drove screws into their brains and we submerged them in icy water until they lost consciousness or drowned." - Dr. John Cawley, Shutter Island
(explaining to Marshal Teddy Daniels the details of Rachel Solanso's disappearance from her cell) "What's more disturbing is we don't know how she got out of her room, it was locked from the outside. It was as if she evaporated straight through the walls." - Dr. John Cawley, Shutter Island
(confronting Marshal Teddy Daniels) "You know, I've built something valuable here and valuable things have a way of being misunderstood in their own time, everyone wants a quick fix, they always have. I'm trying to do something that people, yourself included, do not understand and I'm not going to give up without a fight." - Dr. John Cawley, Shutter Island
(counseling Teddy Daniels) "You blew up my car. I really loved that car." - Dr. John Cawley, Shutter Island
(talking with Teddy Daniels) "I wish I could just let you live in your fantasy world, I really do. You are violent, trained, dangerous. You are the most dangerous patient we have." - Dr. John Cawley, Shutter Island
