The story structure of the film has been imitated by countless people. The most typical example is Comrade You Naihai's "Very Sudden" - the protagonist has broken through many obstacles, and will soon clear the clouds to see the sunrise, where he knows that he is in the gutter in the end. The boat capsized inside. So you start to recall, it turns out that everything in the dark has already had God's will.
The story is told in flashbacks, so the ending is already known from the beginning. You know that the protagonist will die tragically, but you still have a little bit of luck in your heart, so in the end when Pacino closed his eyes, the strings you had been tensing were finally relaxed, and the whole person even felt a little relaxed, you Maybe there will be a slight sigh, but there will not be too much sadness and pain, the only thing left in my heart is the helplessness and melancholy about life.
The just-right Pacino personal dialogue in the film gives the audience a sense of staying out of the way, and at the same time promotes the development of the plot. The director is like a magician. You clearly know that there is a pigeon hidden under his cuff, but it can be used as a magician's hand. When the red handkerchief turns into a flying white dove, you still scream involuntarily. This is the charm of art.
The actors are undoubtedly the best. Both Pacino and Sean Penn have concealed their original appearance. Pacino is a big old man with a moustache. The maturity and stability in woman. Sean Penn's appearance is quite different from usual, and it is completely a little white face, so that in the middle of the film I found out that it was this gentleman. After ten years of wasting, the little white face of the year has become the decadent and vicissitudes of life man in "Mystic River".
A good script needs a good actor, and a good actor also needs a good script. Undoubtedly, this movie has the two most important factors that make it a great film above, so 2007 got off to a good start, and I hope to stick to it.
