Mystic River

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.

    Sean Penn played a superb, very contemplative film, and I felt heavy after watching it. Sometimes because of a choice, life is completely different.

    Dad’s realistic style is very unique, no matter the backlight is played, a little more than two hours is just right; but reality is not the same as a live TV program, why there are always a few straightforward and shallow confessions like narrators Tell the audience that they are afraid that their intelligence will not keep up? "I feel like we are all in that car", the summary of the male number two is deeply disgusting to me.

Mystic River quotes

  • [last lines]

    Annabeth Markum: Their daddy's a king. And a king knows what to do and *does* it. Even when it's hard. And their daddy will do whatever he has to for those he loves. And that's all that matters. Because everyone is weak, Jimmy. Everyone but us. We will never be weak. And you, you could rule this town. And after Jimmy, let's take the girls down to the parade. Katie would like that.

  • [at the crime scene, Sean finds Jimmy screaming and being held by several police officers]

    Jimmy: Is my daughter in there? Is she in there? Is she in there?

    Sean Devine: [Officer Devine approaches the melee] Hey! Hey, take it easy! That's the father.

    Jimmy: Is my daughter in there?

    [fighting the officers]

    Jimmy: Motherfuckers! Is that my daughter in there? Is she in there?

    [Sean gives a small nod]

    Jimmy: Sean! Is that my daughter in there? Is that my daughter in there? No! No! No! No, aagggh, no! No! Oh, God! Oh, God! No!

    [as Jimmy looks up at the heavens, we get a bird's or helicopter's eye view of him raving among a dark blue sea of police officers struggling to hold him]
