don't like this movie

It’s been a long time since I’ve seen an angry movie that makes people feel really emotional. The point of the movie is to describe how things turned into this step by step. On the basis of constantly revealing the cruelty of human nature, it expounds a truth: fate determines character, and character ultimately And decides fate, the most mysterious river is actually the hearts of these characters. The biggest tragedy of this movie is not the kidnapped and imprisoned children, the young girl who was shot and killed, nor the manslaughtered David, but the ending. After all the truth is revealed, there is no "repentance", The due "redemption" happened, and David disappeared, leaving only the monthly money. A mistake has occurred, and everyone knows it, but instead of correcting it, the mistake itself is even more terrifying. What's really memorable is that at that time, anyone could get on that "car", and then there would be a butterfly effect. The theme of this film is too social Darwinism, and it is difficult for my personal taste to like such a cold film.

    The children inside are all very cute. Men and women, normal dumb. The most pitiful is David's son. Without his father, he has a SB mother. The last part of his mother was like a clown. . Suspecting that her husband still had a face to complain, it ended up like this. Jimmy's wife spoke like a cult spreader. But being able to marry such a woman is considered a virtue in a previous life. . Although life is better than death, David still doesn't want to die

    Tim Robbins is so tragic. The misfortune in childhood has become a shadow that can never be erased, his personality is distorted, his friendship is no longer, and he can't even get the trust of his wife. In the end, he died innocently under his childhood friends. . . I feel he played better than Sean Penn

    Young Dave: I guess I don't know my own strength.

    Young Jimmy: [Sarcastically] You know, Dave, that must be it.

  • [after Dave comes in with blood all over him]

    Dave: So, I'm walking to my car, and this guy comes up to me and he asks for a light. I say I don't smoke. He says neither does he. So, my heart starts clocking a buck fifty, 'cause there's no one around but me and him.

    Celeste Boyle: [Celeste sits to bandage his stomach] Oh, my God.

    Dave: So that's when I see the knife. He says, 'Your wallet or your life, bitch. I'm leaving with one of 'em.'

    Celeste Boyle: That's what he said?

    Dave: Yeah! So I try to brush past him, and that's when he slices me.

    Celeste Boyle: I thought you said that you swung on him first.

    Dave: Jesus, Celeste, can I tell the fuckin' story?

    [She realizes now that he's crying]

    Celeste Boyle: I'm sorry, babe. Ssshh.

    Dave: I went fuckin' nuts on him, baby. I went off! I bashed his head on the parking lot. There was blood everywhere, and I might 'a' killed him!

    Celeste Boyle: Killed him!

    [She sees that he's sobbing and stands up to hug him]

    Celeste Boyle: Ssshh.

    Dave: It makes you feel alone, you know, hurtin' somebody?
