Yes..,I really wish an adult had tried to talk to little Dave after he'd come home from his ordeal when he was a kid. He might have survived better what had happened to him. But instead, no one wanted to talk about it.
Dave, Jimmy and Sean are about the same age. Dave though is looks older than them due to the trauma and PTSD, Dave's hair is full on grey. Sean's hair is healthy and Jimmy even has those gray wings from the stress of prison and career life.
Yes, but he was nominated for Best Director the following year for Dead Man Walking... and then less than a decade later, he wins a well-deserved Oscar for this performance. He’s done well.
It's an example of how dysfunctional Dave's life was. He tried to be normal, act normal, but deep down he was constantly hurting, constantly on edge, paranoid, cautious. It threw his entire life off, including his relationship with his wife. The foundation of that relationship was two damaged, or mentally weak people trying to act normal so it crumbled at the first sign of serious trouble.
@@PiCheZvara this must have been the era where u weren't allowed to talk about it...his wife was so very ignorant on the subject..she asks oh all those years ago when u were a boy? as if well it happened so long ago... u never truly get over something like that...his friends were no better they went off to live their lives and never supported dave when he needed them... people would try to bury that stuff... u see the kids try to visit dave after he escaped and his folks turn the blinds down shutting them out literally... don't ask don't tell era
If you truly suspect that, then go to the police. You don't have to be sure, investigation is their job. Obviously, don't go to a gangster or the father of the girl you suspect him of killing. Also, if it actually seems like a possibility that he did that, it's probably time to think about divorce.
@Vali she's not the worst wife. She obviously was riddled with guilt for helping Dave, but she was being a bit dumb. You tell the police your thoughts, not the father of the daughter who was murdered. Like at the bare minimum they were gonna beat the crap out of him. Like that much was obvious, so it was stupid on her part.
This movie was phenomenal. However for me, i felt the ending was just sad because it establisbes humans cant understand themselves because of remorse and conflict.
He came home the night Katie was murdered with blood on him & a bullshit story about being mugged & he was acting odd & not saying what really happened. What was she supposed to think?
@@joewhitehead3 she definitely should have gone to the police lol. Or like not essentially be a snitch to a local gangster. It just seemed really dumb on her part. She then seemed to know immediately that he was involved in Dave's disappearance
That's what a person who could think logically would do. Unfortunately, those four days with those two monsters screwed him up so much that you see him behaving like this. It's not that he wouldn't, he literally couldn't
@@joewhitehead3with a gun held to your head, you're capable of anything. However, Dave still didn't think rationally. Look how he admitted to a crime he knew he didn't commit. Those four days crushed his mind.
This movie came out the year after the Spotlight exposé was published in the Boston Globe. Mystic River and Spotlight (the 2015 film) would make a good double feature.
Youcef Talibi: True! I was branded weird myself in grade school because of how oxygen deprivation at birth and exposure to 2nd hand smoke back then affected my behavior and stunted my interpersonal skills
Kind of an idiot character when you think about it, childhood trauma or not. He got so carried away with talking about wolves, "Dave is dead", "a dream of youth". But then again, it would be a lot less interesting of a movie if he said, "Jimmy, I really did beat up a mugger and here's proof."
He was too far gone to think clear. Killing that guy must have caused him to snap inside. If you didn't experience trauma, it seems illogical, but if you did, you would know that if you're pushed to the edge and something just cracks or snaps in you, your mind, critical thinking, etc. is gone. Dave's psychology is pretty accurate actually, it's just hard for normal, healthy people to understand how truly broken he was on the inside at this point.
If you call the people with trauma is an idiot, you know that you are an idiot yourself. Because people with trauma can't really handle their mind, and mostly people with trauma either they become broken that getting hunted by fear entire life or become crazy because of their heavy trauma.
The point is, his trauma messed him up badly. Trauma isn't something light, it literally sticks with you for a long time. He's having a full on breakdown because of how much it reminded him of the childhood incident so it's not like he could express what happened clearly
I loved him in Shawshank redemption, but here he was just extraordinary!
Sean Penn and him has given the best performances in an Eastwood-film ever!
Yes!☝️♥️☝️🥂
Well hiliary swank was amazing in million dollar baby
But ya Tim and Sean top tier acting
I love ♥️Tim Robbins and ♥️Sean Penn!!!
I felt so bad for Dave in this articular scene. He didn't truly survive that ordeal as a child. In a way, he's like the walking dead.
Yes..,I really wish an adult had tried to talk to little Dave after he'd come home from his ordeal when he was a kid. He might have survived better what had happened to him. But instead, no one wanted to talk about it.
@@brynne77 i feel so sorry for dave everyone basically ignored him and let him get on with it.... he needed support
"Gardens of the Night" movie about what happened to abducted children.
Dave, Jimmy and Sean are about the same age. Dave though is looks older than them due to the trauma and PTSD, Dave's hair is full on grey. Sean's hair is healthy and Jimmy even has those gray wings from the stress of prison and career life.
I never understood why Tim Robbins wasn't nominated for best actor in shawnshank redemption
magesticmaniacc yeah he was kinda mediocre in it like anyone could have played that role
magesticmaniacc yeah he was really good in this
Yes, but he was nominated for Best Director the following year for Dead Man Walking... and then less than a decade later, he wins a well-deserved Oscar for this performance. He’s done well.
But deserved to win for this
@@goodguynow he was given a brilliant role in which he thrived in it. I will still call Shawshank Redemption my favourite and the best in my opinion.
Tim Robbins is a genius actor, loved him so much in this movie.
Poor Dave, and the look on his kid's face during the parade, just carrying on the brokenness of his fathers life. Disliked the ending.
The ending is called a tragedy.
The reaction of dave's son at the parade broke me most than the girl's death.😭😭😭😭
the ending is perfect because it shows the truth
@@TheWordMercy82 truth of what ?
i had a very similar experience to dave and this scene describes exactly what it feels like even years later
This was a very good movie, so very tragic, how does a wife do that to her husband, you better be sure before you serve someone up.

She's the worst wife ever

Damn I feel sorry for Dave :(
Vegeta solo I see you everywhere
He tried so hard to do the right thing.
That background composing music. Fucking Deep.
“dave was the boy who escaped from wolves” it forbodes the ending (his murder) when he “cries wolf” to jimmy who doesn’t buy his story
It'd be crying wolf if he'd told lies or embellished the truth in the past. Not the case here.
The music in this movie is more chilling than most horror films.
This movie was phenomenal. However for me, i felt the ending was just sad because it establisbes humans cant understand themselves because of remorse and conflict.
As a csa survivor I understand his pain
How U doin
Dave wife wasnt supportive of him at all, she the reason why he is dead
He came home the night Katie was murdered with blood on him & a bullshit story about being mugged & he was acting odd & not saying what really happened. What was she supposed to think?
@@joewhitehead3 she definitely should have gone to the police lol. Or like not essentially be a snitch to a local gangster. It just seemed really dumb on her part. She then seemed to know immediately that he was involved in Dave's disappearance
@@joewhitehead3Exactly. She's a hero and a queen! An icon to modern feminism!
Amazing acting
He coulda just told her what really happened that night. That he killed a pedophile
That's what a person who could think logically would do. Unfortunately, those four days with those two monsters screwed him up so much that you see him behaving like this. It's not that he wouldn't, he literally couldn't
@@efazchowdhury3866 He could when Jimmy & his boys were threatening him
@@joewhitehead3with a gun held to your head, you're capable of anything. However, Dave still didn't think rationally. Look how he admitted to a crime he knew he didn't commit. Those four days crushed his mind.
Tim Robbins you re the best actor😘🌞🌹💛
Tim Robbins is an incredible actor🥰 and gorgeous😏😍 .. I love him💝😘🌹!!!!!
How can a wife not know that already when everyone else suspected that?? Weird.
Žvakė Balta Watch Spotlight, you'll understand...
"There is no Dave, only Zuul."
It's like vampires? They are suckers and losers who may not know it yet but they will
Con esta escena Tim Robbins ganó el Oscar
Late to this. But this is master class acting.
Sean Penn had his amazing performance now it's Tim Robbin's turn.
Is that my daughter in there !?
This movie came out the year after the Spotlight exposé was published in the Boston Globe. Mystic River and Spotlight (the 2015 film) would make a good double feature.
This movie ties in directly with Clint Eastwood's other movie American Sniper
What do you mean? They’re both completely different movies
So Dave is the one who got kidnapped at the start and jimmy shot him?
Yup, Jimmy shot him in the face to put him out of his misery.
This movie is I don’t know if it’s good or not
The Irish. Bury it, don't ever talk about it, it never happened.....
No entiendo
¿Que no entiendes?
@@brayerkh no sabia porque lloraba no había visto la peli
Pues claro que no vas a entender si no lo es visto. No seas pendejo.
The weirdest character in that film...
Whats weird ?? He had been sexually abused when he was kidnapped he carried that trauma

Terible acting. Both tim robbins and sean penn.
Mystic River was a terrible film.
