A low atmosphere pervades the people

The sense of stress passed on to me unknowingly from everyone in the film.
The film unfolds after the accidental death of a girl. Sad beginning, sad ending.
From the film, we can get such a concept: judgment, judgment determines the result.
The girl’s father is the most excitable and the most likely to exert personal influence. The most honest and repressed is Dave, who was sexually abused when he was a child, an old friend of the girl’s father.
The ending tells us:
first, don’t be too self-righteous;
second, don’t suppress yourself too much, no matter how painful the past will finally pass, rather than closing yourself up, so that more people can’t understand, causing unnecessary suspicion or even misunderstanding, it is very difficult. It's not worth it, it's even more irresponsible to lose your life and future.
Third, there are misunderstandings in life, but they can be solved with frank communication - the premise is to really open up your heart.

    Therefore, the wife must be loyal to her husband, and stubbornly send justice all day long, saying that her husband will not bring murder to his own man.

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.
