When I just finished watching "Mystic River", I felt a little disappointed, and the story ended like this. But after that, this story will come to mind again and again, making people think of her.

This feeling is a bit like the story itself. A murder case, a single case, was not a serial killer, it was not a torture, there was no religious connection, there was no mystery, it was the killing of an ordinary girl. Although unfortunate, it is no big deal. But after digging down layer by layer, the characters in this story are actually related to each other, the grievances and grievances are completely inextricable, and violence casts a shadow on everyone's heart. This murder is indeed just a coincidence, but those violent entanglements seem to make this tragedy completely unavoidable.

David said that since he escaped from that grove, he is no longer David, and he doesn't know who he is. He is gentle on the surface, but there is a resentful devil in his heart. So when he saw the pedophile in that car, David, who was usually so gentle, would beat him to death with his own hands.

However, it is not just David, but almost everyone has hidden such a devil in their hearts from an unknown time. Because they are only hiding, they can only hurt each other more deeply.

Whistleblowing, revenge, hatred, isolation, rebellion, concealment, anger, venting, punishment. In the end, it left many scars on everyone.

Just like the river that runs through this city, it never stops flowing under the calm surface, and this tragedy seems impossible to stop. Under one case, digging into the deep tragedy, this is the power of this movie.

In "Mystic River", not only the director Eastwood performed outstandingly, but the other actors were also outstanding. Especially the two Oscar-winning actors, Sean Penn for Best Actor and Tim Robbins for Best Supporting Actor.

Sean Penn has always been the best actor. The performance in this movie is considered top work in all of his movies. He showed strong explosive power and directly imprinted his anger and pain on the hearts of the audience.

The performances of Tim Robbins and Sean Penn are completely different. There is no explosion, but depression, always depression. But this kind of depression showed the dark shadow hidden in his heart.

IMDB scored 8.0 (64,820 people voted), and I scored 8.

    The three views of this film are really disgusting, and the last commentary about "big love" is even more disgusting. It also pretends to be deeply interpreted by the audience as "fate determines character, character determines destiny", the script deliberately describes the three. The ups and downs of people's intertwined life start from who gets on a pedophile car, which is really a common problem in American sex movies. Eastwood’s directorial skills are not bright, and Sean Penn and Tim Robbins’ acting skills are above and below.

    2019217 A boy's nightmare, but it is an unprecedented story about the "post-traumatic sequelae" of three boys, and the various entanglements and entanglements are extremely cold. Laura Linney's role is comparable to Mrs. Yi in "Lust and Caution". On the surface, it seems insignificant. The ending's words and expressions reveal everything. The injured people still can't resist the play of fate. The lucky ones put on sunglasses and everything is back on track.

  • Jimmy Markum: And it's really starting to piss me off, Dave! She's my own little daughter, and I can't even cry for her!

    Dave Boyle: Jimmy, you're crying now.
