[mihiro2]

this movie is a masterpiece

[TrevoStuden]

@hlev123 he never wanted to live, this was retribution

[EscapeTheFateXFIR]

@codename617 well, I'm actually reading the book, I haven't fifnished yet and I saw the movie before reading the book, so I don't really know how Jimmy reacts at the end of the book (well I didn't know, but I do now since you told me :) Anyways, what do you think he should have done? He probably feels kinda guilty though but he couldn't sink in his guilt like he sank in his sorrow about his daughter's death, he still has his family to take care of...

[EscapeTheFateXFIR]

@antdez1 yeah, she must feel damn bad wwhen she figures out that he actually didn't kill Katie... o_O

[antdez1]

@EscapeTheFateXFIR :l true true, i think his wife was the problem to, she ratted him out right?

[codename617]

@EscapeTheFateXFIR -Celeste and Michael have? Not just that Jimmy stole a father and husband without remorse, he stole a proper funneral. Had he had been sympathetic and full of remorse and guilt at the end then i would feel more bad for Jimmy, but he went back to being Jimmy Flatts, the wiseguy everybody likes to hang around. I don't know how movie Jimmy is like, but novel Jimmy just goes back to his old ways and uses his love as an excuse when he should use it as a reason not to not go back.

[codename617]

@EscapeTheFateXFIR Well i am speaking from the perspective of the book. Sorry about the confusion there if there was any. But at the end, Jimmy goes back to his ways because he finds out that Annabeth dosen't care whether or not Jimmy is a crook. And at the end, Jimmy dosen't even feel sorry about killing Dave. He thinks that he killed a would-be pedophile. And no matter what, he didn't have to get Dave in the manner he did. At least when the Real killers killed KAtie, Jimmy had a body, What do-

[EscapeTheFateXFIR]

@codename617 yes, he does feel bad at the end, it's just that Annabeth tells him that he doesn't have to feel bad since he "did what he had to do because his heart is full of love for her and his daughters". Anyways, what do you want him to do? He's killed Dave thinking he was his daughter's killer, he was wrong and as we can see at the end, he's likely to be arrested by Sean, well, we don't know... I think he's basically good and he kinda kept the promise he made to Katie at the morgue...

[EscapeTheFateXFIR]

@antdez1 he had good reasons to kill Dave for he thought he was his daughter's killer!

[codename617]

@EscapeTheFateXFIR Not in a big way, but in a way yes. THose men were men with power and were murderers. IN a away they were criminals. Jimmy is a criminal. Sure, for misguided reasons he killed Dave, but at the end he didn't even feel bad about it. He returnes to his criminal ways and his neighborhood gives him the feeling of being some kind of player, like he's on top or something. He admits to himself that he does beilive that he is evil but that there is love in his heart. THat's bs excuse.

[antdez1]

@EscapeTheFateXFIR :l the guy is an asshole, is daughter's death is karma at it's best. now by killing him he just dug himself more, he just no good
