Dave's death is not unjust because he did kill someone and commit a capital crime! It's just that it is not executed by the police but the underworld, but the result of his crime is the same and will not change.

In other words, even if he was not wrongfully killed.

The corpse of the woods will be found one day, and he is still a murderer in doomsday.

At most, it should be said that even if he is guilty of death! How could an ordinary person kill him?

It should be a formal legal judgment! This is the problem. . .

Anyway, even if Dave was not killed by the underworld, he would kill him for a lifetime, and the police would not let him go.

The ending will not change. His son is still helpless, and his wife is still nervous. Will not change.

It's just that the police didn't catch him and changed him to a triad. The process has changed a bit, but it does not affect the ending.

Dave is very pitiful, but he can't punch someone to death because he is pitiful. This is indeed illegal. The police on pedophilia will take care of him instead of Dave. . . It's like the underworld shouldn't kill Dave.

The director of this movie must be a Buddhist, all of which are causal cycles!

    Eastwood at his best, as a director.

    [A-] Different from "Million Dollar Baby" a year later, at least the former still has a trace of warmth, while this "Mystic River" is completely depressed and desperate. That ending completely shattered the audience's expectations, and also revealed the truth that trampled on its bottom line: guilt is there, and guilt exists, but it is only for a while. All people will continue to live, forget their sins, and feel at ease. Dongmu used the role of Sean Penn to say this theme, which is another extreme cruelty. "Mystic River" severely pierced that boundary and asked it: What is the difference between you from the perspective of God? What is the difference between you and them who continue to live after the movie?
