Fate is a mysterious river

From "Unforgivable" to "Mystic River" to "Classic Car", Eastwood has been discussing the same issue, forgive and believe, both of which are keywords in the Bible, and are more like himself From an unbelieving and unscrupulous cowboy into an old man slowing down and kneeling to confess, I like to refer to these three works as Eastwood’s Forgiveness Trilogy: " "Unforgivable", as the name suggests, talks about the unforgivable and happy enmity of hatred. In "Unforgivable", no hatred is forgiven. Bill tortured Morgan Freeman to death, Munnie's bloodbathed the bar, and even some of the warmth symbols that flashed in the middle, the positive influence of the horse that the young man gave to the prostitute and the deceased wife on Munny failed to redeem this unforgivable hatred. But the unforgivable in "Mystic River" has caused unforeseen tragedies, so "Mystic River" in turn explores the importance of forgiving others, and in "Classic Cars", this thinking goes further and becomes a more difficult forgiveness. Self and self salvation. It can be said that "Unforgivable" is like a young man's violent excessive actions, full of open and close movements, "Mystic River" is a middle-aged thinking, full of torture of the human nature of fate; and "Classic Car" It was a decision that came to light in the late twilight period, and wrote an infinite sorrowful ending. So as a work that connects the past and the next to explore ideas, "Unforgivable" explores forgive, "Classic Car" explores believe, and "Mystic River" explores life, life, life, and destiny. It integrates the "unforgivable" Forgive and Believe in Classic Cars focus on the passiveness and initiative of people in life. Mystic River is the name of the river in the small town in the film. The film also repeatedly gives scenes of the quietly flowing mysterious river. At the same time, life is also a mystic river, destiny is also a mystic river, silent and silent. It flows quietly, and the whole story is like a person throwing a stone into the river at will, causing layers of ripples. Jimmy killed two people in it, and the bodies were pushed into the mysterious river, but the ripples spread even to Jimmy himself. Unexpectedly, this is about the randomness and causality of fate. First, the randomness of Believe's fate does not God roll the dice? If a person buys a ticket and transfers to someone else because of something, what happens to this plane in an air crash, how would you feel? Is it the former or the latter that damn it? Did God choose man? Or did God just roll a dice and chose that plane? Or is this a Schrödinger cat, everything is a probability derived from the formula of quantum mechanics? Or, according to anti-Schrödinger’s Einstein, there are two parallel universes, one is the former dead and the other is dead? In any case, in the current film we saw, Dave was chosen, but Jimmy and Sean did not escape. In the summer when the three boys Jimmy, Sean, and Dave were 11 years old, a sodomy who walked out of the car and pretended to be a policeman asked the addresses of three boys writing on the concrete floor, and then randomly took Dave away. . From then on, just like the three boys all went through the unbearable four days and nights together, they never walked out of that little black room again, the random selection of sodomites, or the random roll of fate, made all three of them happen. There are countless illusions of if, just like a near-death experience, there is a kind of near-death experience, a hypothesis of imminent situation, what if it is me and not him that is taken away? After adulthood, all three of them were unsatisfactory. Dave was muddled and lifeless; Jimmy was heinous, robbery and went to jail for revenge and murder; Sean hesitated and broke up with his wife for six months, always receiving silent and expectant things The phone has no clue. After his daughter Katie was killed, when Sean helped Jimmy take notes, Jimmy first said to Sean: "Have you ever thought that an inadvertent choice might change your entire life. Hitler's mother wanted to destroy Hitler, but in the end, Changed his mind. What would happen if you or me instead of Dave Boyle got in that car?" And Sean, who was a step too late to save Dave, would also say, "Sometimes I think , I think if the three of us got in that car, and all these were just dreams, in reality, we all escaped, but we are still locked in the hut as an 11-year-old kid, imagine if we escaped Come out, what will our lives be like?" One of the people who took Dave away was a fake policeman, and the other was a man wearing a cross, and Jimmy saw the other after he came out from the church to attend the baptism of his daughter. The tragedy of the daughter, these are all inquiries to God, why unfortunately befall an 11-year-old boy and a 19-year-old girl like this, but sometimes things happen like this, this is just the randomness of God's dice . I also added the note of believe after randomness. Believe here is not a simple letter, but also means follow, accept. When God rolls the dice, destiny starts to spin around. No matter what time it goes up, don’t do it. Ask why, because this is just a random test. So no matter what, in the current film we saw, Dave was chosen, but Jimmy and Sean couldn't escape either. Jimmy, Sean, Dave, it’s not bad to take anyone away. The fate is random, but the sample is small. , We are like small water droplets in a whole river, we are unavoidable from the influence of ripples, because fate has causality in addition to randomness. Second, the causality of Forgive's destiny. But since the misfortune happened because of God's dice roll, it was like a stone smashed into the mysterious river of destiny, causing ripples and far-reaching effects. God randomly sowed seeds, like Plant a cause, and then the cause will blossom and bear fruit in the world. Justice Lei betrayed Jimmy---Jimmy went to jail, during which his wife died, leaving behind his daughter Katie---Jimmy killed Justice Lei after he was released from prison---Justice Lei’s children were helpless, and Xiao Lei had nothing to do with him. Brother Brandon --- Brandon is going to elope with Katie --- Lei kills Katie. On the other hand, the sodomite takes Dave away ---Dave can't break away from the memory ---killed A pedophile---Dave concealed his crime---induced his wife’s distrust---wife informed Jimmy---Jimmy killed Dave by mistake---under the bright sun at the end, the crime of last night was like The air dissipated without a trace. The Dais and his wife wanted to cry without tears, and could not tell, and the two families of Jimmy and Sean would carry on with their huge secrets and continue to live. The Mystic River was still calm, but the sins were still there. Flowing quietly below. . . In the film, Jimmy felt that his robbery a few years ago had nothing to do with the circumstances of the case. He was furious at the unprovoked questioning of the black police, but when he was alone, he faintly felt that Katie died because of him, but he didn’t. Know what is going on. In fact, it is very simple. When we are hurt, we have to make up for it from other places, so we hurt the next one. Then the hurt realizes the circulation of one to the other like money, and then the cause and effect continue, and the tragedy spreads. . . But we are human beings that are beyond nature, so we have the ability to drift along the current and sail against the current, and we also have the ability to make choices in destiny and rewrite cause and effect. I like to discuss the Bible, but I don’t believe in Jesus. I would rather treat the Bible as a scripture, full of people’s interpretations of the Bible’s philosophy and affair beyond wisdom. So in my opinion, it is more of a book about what a person should be. How to live well in the scriptures. Nobita recently mentioned that the meaningful thing in life is to live well, and some people preach to me the Dharma, saying "everything is empty, live in the present", god is not god, Buddha is not Buddha, they are just a kind of concept, about The idea of ​​how to face destiny and live well, the idea of ​​how to deal with the randomness and causality of destiny. There is an Uncle Bob in the church, an old man with a white beard. His eyes are divine, optimistic and humorous, but one day he shared this story: He has a daughter who is born with mental retardation and will always only be 3 years old and 9 years old. That year, she was raped by two teenagers. When her daughter came home and saw her daughter’s broken clothes and body, the couple was in desperate pain. After that, they started a one-year appeal and litigation, but they were sentenced to insufficient evidence because their daughter was born with mental retardation. , The case is over. One day, he led his daughter around the block, followed by two teenagers far behind. He knew it was them. He didn't need to look back to know it was them. Even if he had never met, he knew it was them. He was a rugby player when he was young. Know how to hurt a person badly. But he did not look back, but continued to lead his daughter down. He said that he would not go to the two young men, embrace them, forgive them for what they did. Some things are inherently unforgivable, but his forgiveness, his forgiving, is not for the two criminals, but only from One's control over the individual, the choice of fate, and the breaking of cause and effect. If Jimmy Ken in the film forgave even once in the middle, forgive God, forgive Lao Lei, or forgive Dave who mistakenly thought he was the murderer, he would not make a big mistake, but the hatred blinded his eyes and the choice was natural. In terms of eliminating forgive, cause and effect can only develop level by level to the worst. When I was young and vigorous, I couldn’t forgive some of the simplest things, full of hostility and revenge, until the cycle of cause and effect came down and made a big mistake, and for many years I couldn’t forgive myself, and I couldn’t forgive me. Those who are in the team, tied to a chain of fate, and things continue to deteriorate endlessly, until you are somewhere, choose to escape, choose to forgive, choose to break the chain, and then you can regain your life.
