The hidden meaning behind the constant rain in Shutter Island

In Shutter Island (2010), the weather is never just background.
The film stays buried under dark clouds and heavy rain for almost the entire story — only clearing up in the final scenes.
This perfectly mirrors Teddy’s deteriorating mental state… echoing Freud’s idea that the subconscious is like “confusing cloudy weather.”
A brilliant directorial touch by Scorsese 👏
