Mystic River [Blu-ray] Review

3.5 from 5

first, a recapping of my previous review before i had actually watched it:

hi ! ! how are you?!?
i haven’t watched Mystic River yet… but i have my copy and am about to… (i will soon come back with a review)
i just find it funny how many negative reviews (there’s good ones too!!) complain about how negative/repulsive etc. the movie is (like people were expecting some sunny tap dance musical or something with rainbows and smiley-face sparklies shooting out of every corner and orifice … and/or funnier yet, they are appalled at how this movie didn’t drastically change their lives on some sort of geo-spiritual epiphany level…
wow… what were they expecting. lol. it’s a movie. lol. it’s kind of like entertainment sometimes… lol.
(i suppose that some movies are made just for raking in money … or who knows maybe some are even meant to drastically alter peoples lives on a geo-spiritual epiphany level ! lol. i own a couple of those. lol but who knows)
if you really want to change your life that bad maybe you could go to church lol
watch cartoons or something until recently they were pretty cheery/upbeat/colorful
(until the whole ren and stimpy thing kicked in)
there must be some documentaries out there about different branches of hindu islam judeo something or other religion-ism that could possibly alter your spiritual/mental paridigm… if you wanted to do that…
heck… for me the Home Alone movies changed me and my way of life forever and i’m not sure they were even supposed to, i just like them very much
myself i know when i watch a movie that it might be realistically negative occasionally…
or even disturbing. depending usually on the warnings on the back of the dvd case
i just think this makes for funny reading
at any rate… i will be back soon with my review of Mystic River !
————————————————————————–
NOW!!~ as promised… back i am with my post-viewed review:

Wow. I agree!! this movie IS a little way too serious and negative/sombre/moody.
and… it’s quite a bit bluish tinged, or is it just me??
there are quite a few ‘blue’ movies out there.
colorwise speaking.
i now understand why reviewers kept saying it was too serious or dark and soo traumatic on them
in that way.
well ~ yes this movie DOES seem to be one of those movies that takes itself a little too seriously.
it’s like the director (oops would that be clint eastwood) told everyone the #1 rule of thumb was to not smile or laugh or joke ONCE thru the movie.
i think somewhere in there someone does do a quick grin or something, in a couple parts.
well i have never read the novel, so i can’t judge the original source, but
i am glad i have this movie. I have tendencies to want to go back and watch it for reasons i can’t explain, the atmosphere, etc. every once in a while, but
really i’m not sure what the movie takes itself so darn seriously for.
sean penn ends up playing ironically a temperamental jerk in this role, eventually.
not a bad movie. i’m just not sure what it was trying to say or if it was just supposed to be
self-righteous and ‘admirable’.
