Everyone is alone

Remember that sentence that Dave said after killing the pervert, killing people will make people feel lonely. Jimmy killed Lao Lei, he could also feel this loneliness, and the only daughter Katie who could comfort him was killed by Lao Lei’s son, and he was pushed back to that kind of loneliness, and the police Tim, because of his wife He also fell into the same loneliness.
People are always lonely, and this feeling is most felt when a person is dying or sick. It is estimated that Old Wood, who is more than 80 years old, has the most profound feelings of this loneliness, so he can also shoot it Lingli, like a sap, silent, but it is painful to death.

In the film, Dave is because of his childhood shadow, and his wife, I think she did not love him, and even she might love Jimmy. After all, it is difficult for a man with such a closed and depressed personality to make a woman love him. While his wife was bearing the secret of helping her husband hide the murder, she secretly hoped to get in touch with Jimmy.
But having said that, death is not a relief for Dave, and for Jimmy who killed him, it may be the increase of this degree of loneliness.

Finally, I want to say with a grudge, I love Eastwood, but I hate him for taking apart Tim Robbins in Shawshank’s redemption and turning into this shadow, desperate and tragic man, that is my spiritual idol. Dear.

    Character determines fate, and sexual assault determines character, so in the end it can only be cold and wrong. It's still the same sentence: The child molester deserves to die ten thousand times.

    This film is a bit confusing to me. What does the director want to explain? What does the ending mean? Sean Penn’s character ended up so peacefully at large?

Mystic River quotes

  • Sean Devine: The reality is we're still 11 year old boys locked in a cellar imagining what our lives would have been if we'd escaped.

  • Jimmy: [after Dave has told him a story about a boy being molested filled with inconsistency] One more time... about the boy, and I will cut you the fuck open!
