Clint Eastwood is one of my favorite directors. But the ending of my work is really sad. Jimmy is an undisputed murderer, and Sean knows this, he chose to cover him because of the friendship between the two, and his behavior proved to be a very irresponsible policeman. The dialogue between Jimmy and Annabeth at the end is really fairy logic. What does it mean that there is nothing wrong with doing anything for love? If Celeste's mistake should have been to tell the police about her suspicions and not Jimmy, Annabeth has a problem with the whole view. Righteous killing of relatives is the right choice in the face of justice and the law. Otherwise, why set up a crime of covering up? Where is the legal system in this society? No one has the right to deprive others of the right to life, unless that person wants to kill you, and your reasonable self-defense can be counted separately. It is the duty of the police and the courts to arrest and adjudicate criminals. If you don’t believe that the police themselves are also investigating secretly, it is understandable that murder is a serious crime if you seek revenge. I think this work, in addition to ranting about the pedophile perversion and the huge impact of childhood trauma, has another theme that exposes a dark law of society. The mighty Jimmy was able to bask in the sun even if he committed a serious crime and participate in the parade in an upright manner, while the weak Dave finally summoned up the courage to do a righteous deed but got such an ending.
The above is a rational analysis of the plot. However, I think this ending is much better than the one I thought at first when Jimmy turned himself in at the police station and confessed everything. The one I thought was similar to a domestic movie, with a utopian ending. It is the huge difference between the circumstances of the Jimmy family and the Dave family that satirizes the injustice and the law of the weak in this society. Investigate the fundamental, or a sentence, a person's experience and character determine his destiny!
