      Mystic River--The Cruel Reality And The Loneliness Of Life

      When I saw the ending, I couldn't help but think of the ending of Eyes Wide Shut: Fuck.

      As a suspense, thriller, or whatever, this film deserves no more than two stars, with one star reserved for those handsome guys and Tim Robins.Luckily, the director made all of this just a brushstroke.

      "She reminded me of a dream of mine, a youthful dream I never had"

      He did nothing wrong but imprisoned himself.

      I liked that scene of "old friends" chatting outside the door the most.

      Maybe it was an afternoon breeze that seemed calm as usual.

      Jimmy said: Good, just sitting here.

      【It's nice, isn't it? Just to sit out here.】

      Tim Robbins and Sean Penn, the heartbreaking backlit plant-like cramps, and the unrestrained appearance of a prison desperado-like pain in the heart, the highlight moment of hurricane acting in the...

      Fate and Tragedy: Parenting Education, Trust Communication in the Family, Personality Differentiation

      Explanation: This film review is a bit long, more than 6,000 words, with more than a dozen additions, deletions and changes. Friends who click on it are fate. If you want to watch it, you can read it below, don't force it.

      In addition, the text between the first and second dividing line is my personal emotional catharsis, and the text after the second dividing line is my personal reflection and shallow analysis of the film.

      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...

      People in the shadows of childhood try to escape from the past, but in vain. Everyone is not strong enough, not tolerant enough, not sensible enough. The only rational person was forgiven by his wife. If the inside of a person is destroyed, the outside is useless except to cover...

      It was not until I saw the child when I was dying, and he looked at me helplessly in the back of the car, that I knew that my life had been taken away at that moment. Little did I know, the lingering sense of loneliness and helplessness had passed on to my child, even though he had never sat in the back of a car, even though he was now sitting at the front of the grand parade...

      A movie with a leading shot is not a good movie, and a suspense movie that you guessed the ending halfway through is not a good suspense movie. One of the stars was given to the actress who played Dai and his wife in the play. Except for her, the acting skills of the other actors were...

    Evaluation action

    There is no Hollywood-style bullet flying, and no Hitchcock-style classic suspense. The film only tells the "little story" that happened to three childhood friends. But because of the color of the film and the murderous content, "Mystic River" initially felt more like a suspense detective film.
      The tone of the film is depressive, and the plot is not complicated. About 5 minutes into the opening, it can arouse nervousness. The...
