This movie is really good, a lot of things are not clear to say. Unexpectedly, Eastwood is also good at such hints and metaphors. "Mystic River" not only penetrates people's hearts, but also hints at the evil of class. The evil of this class is also the evil of the human heart. Catholic priests who want to sexually assault little boys must also say hello. Specially select the bottom of the family with dilapidated conditions to do it. Because the family is good, they dare not. From this a seed of evil was sown. Take root and grow into a monster.

The bottom is the bottom all your life, you can do it, black and white are the big ones. But you have never sympathized with your petty hair. Especially the policeman, let alone treat him as a good person. He has been just watching from the sidelines, hanging high. No thought at all about getting justice for whom. This also implies that the upper class is completely indifferent to the life of the lower class, and turns a blind eye to it. He has no sympathy for Andy who was sexually assaulted, and he has a sense of superiority at the upper end of the food chain for Sean Penn. Not having a good person is the real norm.
