When I saw Jamie smiling at the police friend at the end, I marveled at Jamie's self-healing ability. He lost his daughter who gave him the motivation for life, and killed his childhood friend by mistake in order to avenge his daughter. After all this happened, he could still laugh. I think the director is such a person. He knows the imperfections in life. , And tells us to do our best to live. Under the calm surface, there are many secrets that are not known, but as human beings, we have to bear all this and accept all this. This father is a bastard, and he didn't do good things when he was young. He has something respectable, that is, he knows how to love. He loves his wife, and he killed the partner who framed him in jail because he had no chance to accompany her cancerous wife in her last moments. He changed his evil to righteousness for his daughter Katie. The second time he murdered, he thought he had punished the murderer who killed his daughter. Just looking at the motive and not asking about the result, the director buried Jamie's crime in a mysterious river, along with more secrets. And the man Dave who was killed by him has no chance to be forgiven. From the four nightmare days when he was taken away into the cellar when he was a child, he has been living as a walking dead, when he wanted to open the closed Xin established a normal relationship with his wife, and his door was closed by Jamie. Perhaps fate has arranged a different path for everyone. Some people always have the opportunity to choose, while some people don't even have the opportunity to choose. So Jamie is always a satisfied person, his wife loves him very much, and Dave is always so worried that he can't even get his wife's trust. Fortunately, after the police friend Sean knew that he had killed someone, Sean just said lightly that you will also send money to Dave's wife in the future. When he was dying, he was cheated by the promise of impunity. He pretended to admit that he was the murderer of Katie, but was killed. He even made up a very real reason for the murder, which he saw in the bar. Katie's hot dance made him see the youth he had never had before. There are always two kinds of people in life, one is lucky, like Jamie, who has done so many wrong things, but people still like him and are ready to forgive him at any time. There is another kind of bad luck. No matter how much he has been traumatized and how he tries to live out meaning, it is always difficult to get people's likes, let alone trust, even his wife can't. The former is like a comedy, the latter is like a tragedy. When the tragedy ends, people don’t even feel sorry for it. They think it’s a good result, and indulge the comedy and give them some fun. People think that this is a matter of course. The parade at the end is the continuation of the comedy, the celebrating procession, the applauding people, and there are reliable brothers and a wife who loves him around the lucky ones. He still smiles so confidently in the sun. , He can still greet every day, as if sadness is coming from the future, yes, he has lost his beloved daughter, but he still has two. But the hapless guy went quietly. The melancholy of his young son with his head bowed in the parade and the wife who called his son’s name seemed to prove that he had been here, but other than that, he It seems to have been ruthlessly erased. People may still think of him--always frowned brows, tired in the tall figure, and inevitably feel uncomfortable when they think of it, and then this thought flashes past, and they continue to live their joyful lives. But Dave has his own weight. So the shock he brought me in this movie is much higher than that of the winner. His trivial life, everything that lives to death, is like a human nightmare, no one wants to experience it, everyone is afraid to avoid it, but it is inevitable that this is a real and inescapable fate. Why is the same hurt? Some people don't care, some people feel depressed. Jamie's ease and Dave's heaviness are two choices. But there are two kinds of existence. Everything in the mysterious river is more complicated than this. If you think carefully about how many secrets are hidden in the mysterious river, you will surely be scared into a cold sweat. And how much justice is human justice?
