Say a few words to the weak DA

Fate is an impermanent director, and the life and death of a chess piece depends on its preferences.
Like everyone, whether it’s God or the director, there is a man like Jimmy (Sean Penn) living in his heart. For the family, for the children, he can do anything and kill anyone, no matter if he kills it right or wrong.
The poor DA has become the contrast to the preferences of God and the director. From the beginning of the movie, the name that has not been written on the concrete floor has already doomed your fate in the script, and it will be incomplete.
DA really killed people. He wanted to get out of the shadows of childhood by killing the pedant who he thought was hateful. As he said before he died, he was free and he wanted to go back and hug him. wife.
But Jimmy, who was dazzled by hatred, didn't give him this opportunity. In the end, he killed the poor man.
At the end of the film, the director used Jimmy's wife to tell the cruel truth in human life. For the family members, the father has the power to conquer all the violations in this world. This power is bestowed on the father by the family.
Does it sound familiar? Yes, the "Godfather" series of movies are also this subtext. Perhaps the director's arrangement is also a tribute to the "Godfather" series of films.
As for poor Dave (Tim Robbins), even if you can climb the dark stinking ditch in "Shawshank's Redemption", you still can't get rid of the mentality of being left behind by perverted moral bitches in your childhood. shadow.
I don’t know if you have noticed one detail, it is the two perverts at the beginning of the movie. One of them is a bad old man with white hair and a golden ring with a cross. This ring means religious power and money.
Do dirty and dirty things in the name of morality. On the one hand, religion is holding a big moral banner against homosexuality, but on the other hand it colludes with psychopathic homosexuals to commit child sex.
Cheap moral bitches, doing dirty things, this may be the most absurd drama in the world.
Those guys who vowed to solve the case are only to solve the case in the end. The case is over and the matter is over. Even if DA disappears, everyone's life will continue, as long as Jimmy doesn't make trouble.
The movie was cold, but it was so cold that it was real and cruel, and it was so cold that it won an Oscar.

    This is the difference between meat eaters and vegetarians. Dave, who was taken away as a child, was a marginal man who lived far away, and the gangster did not, or did not dare to take away Sting’s head Jimmy and Sean on this street. Only the weak-character Dave was taken into the car. Everything seems to have been doomed. The murder case just lifted the long dusty veil. It’s a thorn or a thorn, a street man or a street man, Dave is still the Dave who can’t help himself in life, everything Both got worse. Jamie and Sean never sympathized with Dave. They just used this to celebrate their luck and pay attention to the misfortunes in their lives. It was only a high-key and a low-key. After Dave's death, the only thing that changed was that he no longer had to pretend to remember Dave as a child, leaving only Dave's stupid wife calling the child's name over and over again.

    Eastwood at his best, as a director.

Mystic River quotes

  • Sean Devine: [on the phone with Lauren] Okay. "Hey Sean, how was your day?" Oh me? I'm tired of wishing things made sense. I'm tired of caring about some dead girl, and there's just gonna be another one after her. Sending killers to jail is just sending them where they've been heading all their dumb, pathetic lives. The dead are still dead.

    Radio Announcer #1: ...before the end of the season last year, and then re-injured it in spring training on a terrific game-saving play. You know, I was talking with...

    Sean's Father: What time is this going on?

    Jimmy's Father: 7:30 is the pre-game.

    Sean's Father: Who'd you say was pitching tonight?

    Jimmy's Father: Tiant's pitching.

    Sean's Father: Goddamn Cuban, man. He can hurl it.

    Jimmy's Father: I'd hate to be facing him.
