move on?

Everyone's eyes in the ending are a bit interesting: Jimmy's wife watches Dave's wife as an outsider and a winner, and Jimmy and Jimmy regain their sights, leaving behind the guilt and guilt of killing an innocent person, As if for their own so-called love, they can stand on the moral high ground and become judges and executioners.

Sean reconciled with his wife, life returned to the so-called normal track, eyes full of calm and hope.

Dave's wife was full of panic and collapse. She had never understood Dave, walked into his heart, let alone trusted him and helped him. She also became one of the killers in the eyes of herself and her son.

Jimmy kept saying that Dave's experience was painful and changed the trajectory of their lives, but when he finally gave Dave an ultimatum, he never listened to Dave's words. He didn't understand this kind of pain, or rather, he really couldn't understand it.

In the end, everyone can still move on, with guilt or remorse, but Dave falls into the bottom of the sea forever. In fact, Dave stopped moving on when he was 11 years old. His pain did not receive any help from the outside world. He could only rely on himself to endure, change, and save the life that should not need to be saved. However, he still lost, lost to a life without resonance, lost to malice, lost to this garbage world.

Dennis Lehane sees the n-face of human nature very thoroughly. Everyone's inner world is actually a bottomless hole. Most people are intertwined because of the same basic lifestyle and psychological state, and their personality and experience lead to completely different trends. Sometimes, the parts that are not intertwined bring about a beautiful collision, and more often, the parts that are not intertwined bring sin, hatred, hostility, and war. Morality and law are the red lines that prevent humanity from entering a total war; the social nature of interests and mutual need allows people to have common goals and learn to cooperate temporarily. How should I put it, I feel that people are always breaking the balance in the balance. They need order and chaos, morality and fall, sympathy and contempt, sincerity and hypocrisy. Pretending to be happy is the most powerful instinct, and finding orgasm is a constant sadness. What does it mean. Repeated, repeated mistakes.

Ah, too much bullshit. I'm so bored.
