Sean Penns retarded back tat was up there with the rape dungeon with memorable parts of this one

>>212912119
The most memorable scene by far is Penn yelling "IS THAT MY DAUGHTAH"! "IS THAT MY DAUGHTAH IN THEYAH"? in a terrible Boston accent. Netflix used to show that scene when you stopped on Mystic River.

>Thought he moved
>Turns out his parents went through an insane divorce and both tried to pull him outta school
>Insane custody battle
>Ends with him moving back and living with his grandparents
>See mystic river
>Fucking traumatized
>Ask my parents why they killed their friend who was raped as a kid because they assumed rapees turn into rapist...plus his shitty alibi
>They try to explain the alibi but I ask why they wouldn't trust their friend they've known forever
>Sometimes bad things happen to people and it makes them think bad things are okay
>Not even a week after seeing mystic river friend confides into me his ma and dad were both drug addicts
>Even gave him drugs
>Like not blowing weed smoke in his face but full on injecting him with "medicine"
>He'd wake up shortly after usually undressed

>Look up Myspace(yeah it was that long ago) and find some of his druggy friends from highschool
>One of them had a profile picture of themselves and old friend
>It said RIP
>Message them and ask what happened
>He killed himself
>feel like I killed him personally

Penn is a coked out spazz and always has been. Hes from the years when you tried to rock-star your acting career.

>>212912600

>>212912600
This is exactly what the movie is about. The wolf and the sheep. Little Lamb got caught by wolves and got devoured for the first time. He couldn't move from trauma and grew to be a sheep while everyone around him turned into wolves. In the end, his friends, who had become wolves themselves, sacrificed him. And no one missed him, nor his wife, nor his child, nor his friends. No justice will ever be brought because a sheep is all he was. Just like your parents averted their eyes, and you too, you realized it is what it is, a poor lamb devoured by wolves, and there is nothing to do about it.

>>212912070 (OP)
IS THAT MY DAWTUH IN DARE

>>212912070 (OP)
wtf i just saw it a few minutes ago

>>212912600
wtf man

>>212912600
it wasnt your fault anon. people arent meant to have to deal with that shit at that age. you couldnt have changed what happened to him.

>>212913942
People like that need more support. I didn't give him any. I wasn't a good friend.

>>212912600
Sorry to hear that anon. Don't carry that weight tho. It's not your fault.

>>212913756
The Wolf and the Sheep isn’t about that

>>212913756
Nah man he was a wolf. They all treated him as a wolf and assumed they were protecting their village.

>>212914100
not talking about the fable

>>212913756
And yet it doesn't have to be that way, and that's why Psalm 23 (the Lord is my shepherd) did more to instill Christianity in Europe than any amount of threatening heretics, despite what revisionist fedoras may pretend.
Imagine being a raped starved deranged exhausted loveless landless peasant in a feudal barony and some bald guy takes you into a beautiful little building, clothes and feeds you and tells you he will care for you because his God commands it, and you find out he's getting the money from your fellow peasants to maintain the place and eat on their dime and help wretches like you. And they're tithing not because he's threatening them like the local baron, but rather because he just asks

>>212914053
its horrible but there's thousands of people in the world right now who had horrible things happen and are on the edge. is it your fault for not reaching every one of them too? horrible things happen to people at no fault of their own, but they also make choices. its not your fault man.

>>212912600
Jesus Christ...

>>212913756
Goddamn no wonder religious people are all fucked in the head, all it does it teach you fags to dehumanize people.

>>212912070 (OP)
I just watched The Hunt and it reminded me of this. The Hunt was objectively a better movie, but Tim Robbins did a good job in Mystic River.

>>212912600
Good lord

>>212912600
You missed on getting your cock and asshole eaten by a few bucks by a desperate druggy.

>>212912600
Yeah I’ve been there too, anon. Survivors guilt is a thing. At least you have the gift of introspection.
Hey you should watch picrel, it’s deeply disturbing but poignant.

>>212912600
wtf

>>212913756
>nor his child
his son does miss him, that's why in the parade at the end he's just sitting there on the float holding back tears and doesn't wave back to his mom who's waving at him.

>>212915274
We still talking cinema? This is 4 U

so where are the fucked up movies?

>>212916013
Right here. Still going after 27 years. This is the old school independent video store experience;)

>>212912070 (OP)
got my first finger job to this

>>212912070 (OP)

>>212912070 (OP)
I hated how unconvincing of a le heckin tough guy Penn was in this

>>212916464
Did you make your frens smell your finger? Was she cute? Was she white?
She was fat i bet

>>212916586
Yeah it was laughable, and his bitch wife was worse. Tim Robbins was the only good thing about this movie imo.

>>212916552
DO NOT DOWNLOAD

>>212916552
The final shot with the egg-shaped photos is pure kino.

>>212912600
this is why people shouldnt kick themself about being or the potential of being an imperfect parent, if you stick around and don't pimp out your kid you're already doing an invaluable service compared to people that really have it hard

>>212914198
if every friend gave the extra mile or even minimum to help ONE tragic experienced friend/individual the world would be a massively healthier place, he could've been a better friend and a million other singular people could help one person at a time too, I did a lot for my schizo buddy personally but I don't have any friends with serious baggage

>>212914428
I just saw Tim Robbins in Hudsucker Proxy and I loved him in Jacob's Ladder, surprises me sometimes

>>212916795
>I would just watch

>>212916586
sometimes you can almost see a resemblance of Sean Penn to Harvey Keitel, at least in the way he tries to carry himself

>>212912070 (OP)
not really fucked up but pic related reminded me of mystic River

>>212914873

BRO THAT WAS SO FUCKED UP

>>212912588
lol

>>212918377
Kino

>>212912070 (OP)

>>212917210
Jacob's Ladder is one of my favorite kinos. Totally visceral, mind-bending experience. A shame they cut a good chunk out because test audiences found it "too disturbing,"

>>212918490
It really disturbed me as a kid, I thought I saw shaking head demons in every passing car.

>>212918852

>>212914198
>is it your fault for not reaching every one of them too?
what the fuck kind of point are you making with that? we're talking about the one former friend, the one he had some sort of connection with

>>212913756
>And no one missed him
What the fuck are you on about? Stop talking shit in your excitement to be all hard-edge truth

>>212918377
Bill Paxton kino

>>212919395
The funny thing is this movie is actually really tame and never shows anything "fucked up."

>>212918437
Absolute kino. One of my most watched movies for some reason.

this movie is fucked up and also i dont know what the point of it even was

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=-MjcTmsFy3s

>>212912600
This isn’t Reddit. No one cares.

i blame it all on the stupid wife, even her sister blames her, knowing how cruel her sister is she should have chosen to be loyal to her husband

>>212913756
god i miss bullying nerds like you lol

>>212914873
I kekked when he got raped

i still dont get why dave admitted to a crime he didnt do. Especially rape/murder given his past. Seems pretty retarded to me.

>>212912070 (OP)
sean aped his best performance from rourke in this film iirc

>>212920885
me too but i think he really wanted to live, that's why when jimmy stabs him he is like "i wasn't ready yet" because he still wanted to live for his wife and son

>>212919503
cant blame you, amazing movie

>>212919498
yes, I had memories that it was really good but on a re-watch it's average at best. becomes boring even.

>>212912600
boomers are a disgrace

>>212914345
What gave you the impression he was religious?

>>212916464
did they use popcorn butter as lube for your ass?

This was proper fucked but beautifully shot.

>>212912070 (OP)
what happens in this movie again?

I liked it so much I read the book

>>212922082
it's about 3 friends one of whom gets raped by fake cops when they're kids
they reunite many years later because sean penn's daugher gets killed and they try to solve the murder

>>212914345
>>212919473
>>212920474
What a bunch of false, sentimental hypocrites. Reddit used to be one place... The movie is about how the weak are the first to be sacrificed in this twisted society. They will feel pity and say how they are sorry, but in the end they don't really care and will toss away the sheep because it is convenient. Yeah, it is shit, but it is what happens, and sometimes there is nothing you can do about it except accept it is what it is. Anon parents realized it would be their problem and that maybe the child who is now marginalized could be dangerous to their child and just cut him from his life. And prob people who didnt know him reacted to his death like
>Cool, less one drug addicted in the world
>Nothing of value was lost

>>212912600
>Once Fallen (2010)

Watch it, it'll be cathartic. It's on politicians and spooks and Sacklers, then your do nothing parents, then lastly you in no position to undo the damage done. If you didn't tell him it was your folks that didnt let you hang out, well, he knows everything he needs to now. Don't dwell on it.

>>212922493
>>212912600
Also POSSUM.

>>212922106
How was the book

>>212912600
People live in their misery. He had the opportunity to grow, but he chose death. You didn't do anything wrong; you cannot save anyone from themselves. Misery and suffering are choices.

His childhood was not his choice, and his parents failed him completely. That's sad, but the event is ove,r and your pain is coming from the loop in your head. It isn't real. You can snap out of it.

>>212912600
Get out of your ego and control your emotions. You did nothing wrong here.

>>212912070 (OP)

>>212912600
Not your fault anon

>>212920259
My fav movie. I watch it religiously once a year
