The story of 3 men in Mystic River...
When 3 teenagers were playing, they met 2 old men who pretended to be policemen.
They coerced one of them to go with them, so Dave got into the car...
4 days later, Dave escaped from the forest... So, 3 people went on different lives.
The film is too cruel and depressing. At the end, when I see the bottomless river, I hope that it can instantly become a science fiction film. For example, Dave miraculously reshapes his life.
However, nothing happened, this is the reality of life.
"The Redemption of Xiao Shengke" actor Tim Robin, and Sean Penn, have the same acting skills, and the rhythm of the film is just right, which makes this excellent film.
A small decision may be the direction of the whole life. Look, how difficult it is to live.
If you don't grasp the belief in "destiny", many people will feel overwhelmed.
There are also many people who choose to believe in themselves. There are very few such people, because very few people can be so confident.
Jimmy's wife said that others are weak, but our family is different, our family is strong.
It seems to be saying that Dave's wife reserves to be a widow, because she doesn't even trust her husband, she easily loses control.
I admit that Jimmy and his family are very strong, and when such a big thing happens, they can still pretend that nothing happened.
Maybe, what Dave needs to do is, like Jimmy, he can reshape his life whenever he wants, as long as he is alive, instead of leaving the shadows there.
Maybe, Jimmy just found out early that life is 'just so', so he doesn't bother to struggle with a reason.
Is that so? This is in conflict with moral standards, but there are such people who live in this way, or die in this way.
Survive the fittest.
Right and wrong, sometimes, unreasonable, fair and unfair, and in some cases, can not be measured, when you are strong enough to let the weak believe that everything you do is the truth, then right, and wrong, you lose. their original meaning.
The world is actually quite distorted. The beautiful existence of people who believe in God is just a strong desire for fairness and reasonableness. Even if the reality is hopeless, behind this, at least, there are other existences that we cannot find to comfort soul.
In the face of strong ecological laws, people appear very weak. "Battle Royale" is not an extreme microcosm of the real world, but, usually, what people face is only competition, not killing, but, occasionally, killing It also exists, and it exists in the "Mystic River".
Curious people who are looking for the truth, ask them how much information they have obtained and how many phenomena can be explained.
If they can't explain it, it is better to format the brain. We cannot live forever, we are just a pawn in the ecological law...
We are just fighting natural and man-made disasters, struggling to stay alive.
In the past, many people tried to intervene in the macro world, perhaps changing the fate of many people. For example, Hitler, how many lives were terminated, in the
end, they were terminated by ecological laws, and then gradually submerged in the torrent of history.
People remembered him and hated him, but, what's the point of that... if it's gone, it's gone.
After a lot of cruel things happen, people collapse and despair, and then they still have to go on,
because, sometimes, 'you're not alone', you can't fall.
Sean Penn's Jimmy, when he's on the verge of collapse, is reminded by his wife that I'm here, our kids are here, and you can't fail.
So, he chose to continue to be strong.
This makes people vaguely outline the situation of his first accident, which the film never shows, but it can be pieced together from this, the reason why he has come to this day.
He said, have you ever felt that way, that is, there are only 2 people left in the world, me and my daughter katie, we are abandoned by the world.
I think the little katie at that time gave him the strength to live.
When Katie died, it was like killing him who lived for Katie. This kind of blow is not difficult to imagine,
but in his life, there are other reasons not to give up.
"When was the last time you saw Dave?"
"Twenty-five years ago...he got into that car..."
Yeah, maybe Dave, dead long ago, the one who escaped from the nightmare, didn't have a choice Reborn, and unable to regenerate.
He has worked hard. When he beat the man who molested the virgin, in fact, he was venting all his grievances. He struggled. He hoped that when he was abused in his childhood, there was such a person who could save himself like this. This is a chance he gave himself, a chance to be reborn.
When he was saving the boy, he was saving himself.
After a huge blow, people often find that what they want is so simple.
In the course of a greedy chase, it's hard to spot.
On the verge of death, Dave finally realizes that all he wants to do is stay with his wife, start over, and live a good life.
But he didn't have the chance to do it.
At the end of the film, all the people are standing in the sun, with exhaustion and wet tears in their eyes.
The sun is very dazzling, but you can feel the coolness in the picture.
In their lifetime, people just try their best to survive.
