For Shutter Island, a mystery thriller directed by Martin Scorsesse, the ideology was not so simply displayed. There is essentially no good guy or bad guy. The protagonist is Teddy Daniels (Leonardo DiCaprio), and his journey is to uncover the disappearance of a missing women. Our missing women could be labeled as the "bad guy (women)" because she is claimed to be a child murderer, except we do not actually witness the conflict. In addition, we do not witness any good vs bad conflict entirely. In fact, the only real conflict seems to be inside of Daniels head, as he struggles with the haunting memories of his past. In terms of morals, the inmates of the asylum are all distinguished by their gloomy-grey outfits. The "doctors" and staff members are outfitted in bright white jackets and pants. The inmates act somewhat emotionless and "zombie-like" which fits the atmosphere of an asylum.
