    No matter which one you choose at the fork in your life, it will be ups and downs, so don't regret not choosing another road when you are depressed.

    Jimmy’s daughter was murdered and Dave’s return to the night was bloodied. The timing of these two incidents almost coincided. From a purely screenwriter’s point of view, it was a flaw, because it was too coincidental to tell the story without making up the story like this. However, it is classified as the premise of second-rate narrative manipulation: the small town is livable and comfortable, so the coincidence of two extreme homicide incidents seems abrupt and contradictory. From the perspective of the intention and emotional atmosphere of the play, Dongmu seems to have no intention to provide the audience with a feeling of a harmonious community: you see, from the disguised police imprisonment and violence more than 20 years ago, to Jimmy’s imprisonment and rampant connivance by gangs. Volunteer police lynching, wives simply cannot trust their husbands, small-town families discriminate and hate each other, daughters and lovers want to flee, under-age violence factors, and child-prostitution crimes always exist. Negative personalities are gathered together, and negative emotions are permeated. In such a dark and dangerous place, it is inevitable that the murder case will hit the date! ... But I still have one question at the end: Why doesn't Sean Penn play Sean himself?
