My paper will provide and in depth examination of the devastating effects of violence on its victims in Clint Eastwood's “Mystic River”.

Introduction

Client Eastwood is an American film director, actor, composer and producer. He has also been associated with politics. He was born on May 31, 1930. Clint Eastwood has become one of the most interesting of American filmmakers of the late 20th century- early 21st century. Eastwood persona is more interesting than the persona of other directors. Director is more important than the president but Eastwood has been associated with politics and direction since a long time.
