They are all in the cage of evil, and I don't want to brush it twice!

All the people did not get out of the cage of evil.

A victim who was imprisoned by pain, a wife who couldn't empathize with her husband's pain and doubts; a brother who was a fake police officer; a black boss who took his love as the first principle and his disgusting wife.

Fate turns round and round, revealing the selfishness, wretchedness and darkness of human nature. Who does the world belong to? It was the pair of swindlers who were well-dressed and well-dressed back then, who crushed, bullied, ignorant and innocent and shameless; it was the peace of mind after hurting others with self-centeredness now, and it was the wretched selfishness who defended the scam.

The world has become a big evil place, and the wicked live so cheerfully!

Even if you carry a cross on your back, even if you secretly cry for your conscience, even if you use excuses that you don't know what to do with shame, you must continue to carry on and live with a bad anger!

Life is so frustrating and disgusting!

Dave was really upset when he surrendered at the riverside and pleaded guilty! Just like he was submissive back then!

At the end, Dave's wife's sad eyes when she saw the family reunion, and the sad and desolate appearance of calling her son from outside the crowd. She couldn't bear to think, where will Dave's son go in this evil cage? Can't escape after all?

Although it's a good movie, I don't want to rewatch it again.

I really don't agree with the fateful and dark three views of "evil turns and turns"!

Mystic River quotes

  • [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?

  • Dave Boyle: Maybe some day you forget what it's like to be human and maybe then, it's ok.
