Character Comparison

We decided to look at the main character in the film Shutter Island and use his personality and the way he is represented in the film. Leonardo DiCaprio's character Teddy, is very deluded and wary of his surroundings. He seems to be quite depressed and doesn't know what is going on. We decided to make Matt's Character (The main character) reflect his personality and act in the way that Teddy does in Shutter Island. As Shutter Island is based in 1954, the clothing worn could not be considered for the main character, so we decided for him to wear casual clothes, yet with a hint of the "emo" look to represent his personality and that he is distressed in some way. We looked at the way DiCaprio's personality is shown and tried to represent Matt's character like this also, with the way he walks and even the way he looks around at everything suspiciously.
