Hello everyone, today we would like to talk about Idioms in Shutter Island movie..
first, I would like to give you a summary about this movie.
From Oscar-winning director Martin Scorsese, "Shutter Island" is the story of two U.S. marshals, Teddy Daniels (Leonardo DiCaprio) and Chuck Aule (Mark Ruffalo), who are summoned to a remote and barren island off the cost of Massachusetts to investigate the mysterious disappearance of a murderess from the island's fortress-like hospital for the criminally insane.
This is the idioms that I got from that movie
1.
Can’t stomach
unable to tolerate someone or something;
disliking someone or something extremely. (Also with cannot.)
Yeah, I'm fine. I just...uh...I just
can't...can't stomach the water.
[looks at Chuck]
2.
Square with
to make certain that something is approved
by a particular person.
Doesn't exactly square with Teddy Daniels,
the man, the legend, I'll give you that.
3.
Rob blind
to steal freely from someone.
Government employees will rob you blind.
4.
Paper pusher
a
bureaucrat; a clerk in the military services; any office worker.
Not much of a stretch doc, for all you know
we were both paper pushers over there.
5.
Blow the lid of
to expose something to public view.
If you'd gotten into the main land you could
have blown the lid off this place.
6.
Safe and sound
Unharmed and whole or healthy.
Rachel's been found. She's here. Safe and
sound.
