I haven't seen it yet but now I want to.
Tim Robbins who won Best Supporting Actor for his role in Mystic River. dedicated his award to people who can relate to his Mystic River character.
"In this movie, I play a victim of abuse and violence, and if you are out there and are a person that has that tragedy befall, there is no shame and no weakness in seeking help and counselling. It is sometimes the strongest thing that you can do."
Bravo
I saw it...it was very touching...the audience seemed to cheer louder because of the message.
Would you be willing to give a little bit more detail about the movie? I am not asking you to spoil it for anybody else, just want to know a little more. Thanks.
From the Mystic River website
When they were kids growing up together in a rough section of Boston, Jimmy Markum (SEAN PENN), Dave Boyle (TIM ROBBINS) and Sean Devine (KEVIN BACON) spent their days playing stickball on the street, the way most boys did in their blue-collar neighborhood of East Buckingham. Nothing much ever happened in their neighborhood. That is, until Dave was forced to take the ride that would change all of their lives forever.
Twenty-five years later, the three find themselves thrust back together by another life altering event ? the murder of Jimmy?s 19-year-old daughter. Now a cop, Sean is assigned to the case and he and his partner (LAURENCE FISHBURNE) are charged with unraveling the seemingly senseless crime. They must also stay one step ahead of Jimmy, a man driven by an all consuming rage to find his daughter?s killer.
Connected to the crime by a series of circumstances, Dave is forced to confront the demons of his own past. Demons that threaten to destroy his marriage and any hope he may have for a future. As the investigation tightens around these three friends, an ominous story unfolds that revolves around friendship, family and innocence lost too soon.

Thank you. I was about to leave here and go to yahoo movies and look it up. Reminds me a little about the movie called Sleepers (I think that's the title).
