Lola Gray and the character 'Shutter Island' is based around, both have similar psychological issues. They both had issues that they couldn't deal with. The character in 'Shutter Island' has a much more severe condition than Lola Gray, but similar symptons for similar reasons. Other than the psychological issues, the characters are completely different. We didn't base our character on anything, it was just an idea from our heads.
There are obvious cultural differences between the two characters. Our film is set in present day Britain and 'Shutter Island' was set in 1954 in the U.S.
As shown in our character profile, we tried to create a character that could have been as normal as you and I, but her childhood shaped her to have psychological issues. Lola is of a lower social class simply because of her drug issues and her poor, unstable background. Social groups are determined by interests and wealth; Lola has no money which leads her to crime; we also see nothing of her interests because she has never had the time to enjoy anything. She is presented as a warm-hearted young girl, that has been pushed onto the wrong path. It is not a life she has chosen and it's a life she wants to get out of.
