The biggest feeling of watching this film is that the childhoods of the three protagonists are tightly suggested together. Although the lives of the three people have never intersected since the car-carrying incident, the development of the follow-up plot never fails to pass through childhood. This memory of the three people is linked together, mutual suspicion and mutual repentance.

Look at another murder case in Mystic River, he bears the fate of three people tightly, but it is not a coincidence story of these three people, but they bear their past, family, wife and children and various entanglements, their The story is not just a sudden event or a coincidence that happened at the moment, but the integration of the three people's growth process. Dongmu really perfectly tells the three people's childhood boarding incident, the change of their destiny and the final outcome. The fly in the ointment is that Sean's growth and shaping are too thin, and it just shows his ability and character bluntly, and childhood events have a weaker impact on him.

And the character of Tim Robbins is actually the strongest and bravest person in the film. He still lives upright in the face of the misery and misfortune of fate, but facing the shadows makes him much more than normal people Multiple sensitive nerves.
