      S02 and S01

      I used to watch the first season and then watch the second season, and it seems that I also gave up after watching the third episode. Or because I'm used to the character of Matthew McConaughey. Without him, I feel uncomfortable, as if the protagonist of The Bourne 4 is not Matt Damon, I always feel that something is missing, and I recently re-watched it. It is also good to see the BGM at the beginning of the third episode. It must be higher than 8.0 in all aspects. If the score is low, most...

      So real, so painful, so charming (spoiler)

      My favorite Leonard Cohen's theme song Never Mind, the opening song is mainly in red and white, the avatars of each character are not fully presented, all are just silhouettes.
          I like the ending of it, not pretentious, not offering false sunshine, not giving you a little bit of fluke: yes, the world is so cruel, and some people are just so unlucky. One of the four protagonists was beaten to death in the back; one was stabbed and then thrown into the vast desert, with a flock of crows...

      choice and destiny

      The promotional poster for True Detective 2 reads: WE GET THE WORLD WE DESERVE. Behind it is an intricate overpass, and the cracks on the bridge are clearly visible. This suggests a clear cause-and-effect relationship: our circumstances are all self-inflicted. I like the word “deserve” very much. I like that it represents a sense of balance like a scale, weighing sin and cost on both ends. This is exactly what "True Detective 2" wants to say. People make choices and get themselves in the...

      There's no future, there's no past.

      At the beginning of this season, the woman singer sang sadly at the bar, "There's no future, there's no past, In the present, nothing lasts, Lately someone's missing from now on", in some way, the song heralds the end. It took quite few weeks to watch season 2, and it tasted like vodka for me. Hard to keep on watching at first, but got stimulated after. Ray once said the booze tends to take the edge off, he wanted to stay angry. He is kind of this guy, always at the edge of falling apart....

      The TV series "No Country for Old Men" is the lowest evaluation of her.

      The three protagonists, one is a middle-aged white police uncle whose wife has been raped and does not know who his son is. One is a female police officer who had personally killed a sexual harasser when she was young, her father was a similar spiritual mentor, two siblings went to prison, and two siblings committed suicide by drug addiction. There is also a veteran who has participated in the Montenegro plan and has war sequelae and is extremely disapproving of his gay identity. He has been...

      The character has been reduced to FUCK MACHINE. As soon as something happens, he frowns and yells: FUCK! FUCK!...

      It just doesn't compare to the first season. But definitely not bad. It just feels weird to end up with a detective drama as a melodrama. Is this combination in the second half of the hero's true colors +...

      As always, I still can't understand the plot of "True Detective". The only thing that can support me to see the bottom line is to watch my favorite male and female movie stars. · Reilly's color is also out in the last three minutes. The emotional line is intricate enough, and the background music is wonderful enough. The middle of America is really desolate and...

      Just for the production of this title, this shot, this soundtrack, it is also worth 5 stars, um, that's...

    Movie quotes

    • Ray Velcoro: I used to want to be an astronaut. But astronauts don't even go to the moon anymore.

    • Ray Velcoro: If you ever bully or hurt anybody again, I'll come back and butt fuck your father with your mom's headless corpse on this goddamn lawn.

    • Singer: This is my least favorite life The one where you fly and I don't A kiss holds a million deceits And a lifetime goes up in smoke This is my least favorite you Who floats far above earth and stone The nights that I twist on the rack Is the time that I feel most at home We're wandering in the shade And the rustle of fallen leaves A bird on the edge of a blade Lost now forever, my love, in a sweet memory The station pulls away from the train The blue pulls away from the sky The whisper of two broken wings May be they're yours, maybe they're mine This is my least favorite life The one where I am out of my mind The one where you are just out of reach The one where I stay and you fly I'm wandering in the shade And the rustle of fallen leaves A bird on the edge of the blade Lost now forever, my love, in a sweet memory.
