The three playmates who have been together since childhood, because of childhood accidents, faced a completely different life, just like the diversion of a river, over the years, quietly, but at different angles, each other for thousands of miles, only when you look back suddenly, those who cannot change The difference has become a symbolic language that gathers and disperses each other, a barrier between life and death. In fact, I have always liked this type of film, not relying on the stimulation of sound and light, but the tension inherent in the drama, which is enough to be fascinating. In Tim Robbins’s panicked and wandering eyes, I saw the absurd helplessness and abandonment of life. It was a feast, but I went to the wrong room at the beginning. What I need to bear is not my fault. , But fate without a cause. He is not a walking dead existence, the scorching fire of life in his body is still burning, angry, waiting to erupt, but even if it erupts, it is extremely distorted and sad. And Sean Penn’s American cowboy-like firmness and perseverance, which is in full view, is a sharp contrast. In the face of the sudden blow, grief and hatred are intertwined, despair and anger are all together, making this Oscar best. The success of the male protagonist, in a scene with the well-known bad news, the introversion and bursting of the characters are amazing, and the subsequent development makes people have a godfather-like awe of this father. But this only represents Sean Penn’s luck. Fortunately, he did not suffer a devastating tragedy in the cycle of fate. This is not a personal success, it is just a kind of luck.
At the end of the film, the dialogue between Sean Penn and his wife during the event was very interesting, especially in contrast to the call of Tim Robbins's wife. This is a typical western cowboy's understanding of the law of the jungle. Since absurdity is the eternal theme of life, the strong must bear the absurd and go on. The weak ones that are eliminated can only be gradually ignored by people and swallowed by the river of time. But the weak call in the crowd is what I am dissatisfied with. I only feel that the heavy fatal tragedy should not be covered by a woman's mistakes. Due to this, I feel that there is a kind of suspicion of cutting corners, of course. It is not ruled out that the director used this to emphasize how important a good wife is to our lives. :)
Sometimes I would look at the surging river and ask myself, is it true that so many grievances and grievances have been washed away in the torrent, can it really contain all my joys, anger, sorrow and joy? This feeling often makes me appear hypocritical, so the river flows in the dark, the blue smoke is everywhere, and the mist is thin.
PS: Some people say that the police intentionally shielded Sean Penn in the end and could not agree. In fact, according to the criminal procedure law of the United States, the police can only intervene when there is evidence to prove that a crime has occurred. At that time, Tim Robbins was only found to be missing like the poor worm twenty years ago. The investigation cannot be carried out on the basis of a criminal case until the body is confirmed. Therefore, although the playmates who have grown up are heart-to-heart, but they also stop at the end, and the responsibility is sometimes beyond the reach of the penalty effect.
