Another grievance buried under the Mystic River

A movie reviewer wrote: The last shot kept switching to the two wives for comparison. One was suspicious and hid in a dark corner, looking crouched and uneasy. Even if he did nothing wrong, he doubted the other one with a firm will and calmness in the sun. Even if the husband does something wrong, he can firmly believe that Clint Eastwood's movies are usually more than two hours and ten minutes, and there will be a complete climax story laid out. Moreover, his movies have more thoughts on things, such as killing brothers here, such as other movies finally witnessing pain and then giving people euthanasia, such as shaping the world view of children and so on. Sean Penn, put on the sunglasses and felt like a gang boss. When the daughter was parting, the father saw that he was deeply saddened, and it was probably the last time he saw it. The daughter's plan was to escape. How can a father prevent his daughter from falling in love with such a simple and superficial reason. The two women's understanding and trust in their husbands are really kings and commoners. Ugh. In fact, the real reason for the final shooting is embarrassing. In any case, the lives of the two children were ruined. Back then, the car that took Dave away would never give people the possibility of a cure. Society will never be lenient either. In the end, there are so many bad guys in the world, and there are so many undead in Mystic River; policemen who are no longer in steel armor may really only be passive and wait for the opportunity.

Mystic River quotes

  • [after the hockey ball rolls into the gutter]

    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?
