Mystic River was a very interesting movie. I really liked it
because of the darkness within it. The movie itself got me thinking a lot. I blamed
the death of the girl on many people. At first I thought the killer was Dave
because of many clues like being the same place, leaving fifteen minutes after
the girl and coming back home full of blood that is not his. What really made
me think it was Dave the killer is the fact that he would have different
excuses for his injuries. After, when Sean founded out that the Gun used for
the crime was own by the father of the girls lover I kind of blamed him for 2
minutes but started thinking and saw the link between the beginning of the
movie and after. How the girls lover had a little brother that spoke sign
language and how he was always there for him. The little brother did not want
to lose him, he was the only one there for him. The lovers were about to leave
and the little brother was not going to let that happen, he would not lose his
only brother that he loved so much. The setting of the movie was very fun to
watch. It made you think things and after you would change your mind because of
new clues. The whole movie was showing
you how you should not blame a person because of small links. Looking for the
right clues was what people should base on.
I agree that the little brothers motive was to kill his brother's lover so that he wouldn't run away with her and get married. He probably thought he would never see his beloved brother again. He was the only one who took the time to speak sign language with him. The way the film was written it made the audience believe the 19 yr old girls killer was Dave, when all along it was really Brendan's mute brother. I feel as though the dark lighting added a very mysterious feel to the movie and made the audience feel the plot more.
