Brief
This title sequence concept for Mystic River (2003), directed by Clint Eastwood, explores the theme of perception versus reality. The design visualizes a wife's growing distrust of her husband, emphasizing how visual evidence can both reveal and deceive. By intentionally creating a disconnect between the letters and their shadows, the sequence mirrors the film's central tension between appearance and truth. This visual metaphor suggests that even what we witness firsthand may lead us astray from discovering the actual truth, reflecting the movie's complex exploration of doubt, perception, and certainty.
