Time is the fire that burns us

In the third season of True Detective, the three timelines are interspersed with each other, just like the old dream of an amnesiac old man. Among them, there are memories that ruined his life step by step, and there are also wrong memories that conflict with each other and confirm each other. They are spread out in a slow and unhurried rhythm.

An unsolved case took two detectives twenty-five years Hayes sacrificed a lot, ruined his marriage because of his own principles, and ruined his career. The disapproval of his identity in life caused him a certain amount of pressure. He put all his attention put in the case

Rowland has his own reasons for falling into some kind of loneliness, he's more focused on solving cases than his partner has been trying to save him and pull him back to himself

The black gay bureaucracy is the background of the show and it is not very deliberate to portray him as a haze that hangs over the protagonist's head. Just like the female director's questioning around these questions, Hayes' answer can not be fully affirmed because he himself can't. affirm yourself

Even after losing so much to learn the truth of the case, there is not much sense of accomplishment and joy (seeing that this is in sync with the protagonist, I also thought to myself that this is it? After a second, it’s like this, so what’s the fuck? ?) This design is so fucking cruel. I worked hard for a goal for most of my life until I put my foot in the coffin and found that it has no value at all. It is the most unacceptable thing for me. I often get anxious because of this problem.

After solving the case, Hayes found a new question for himself and wanted to find the answer, but he was too old and it was time to forget about it. He had to let it go. The end of the case was an accident. Had to solve the case from the human body and then there was nothing but emptiness The last two detectives asked themselves what the hell were they doing for twenty-five years and why were they stuck in place

They were trapped in that fog and they were trapped in their place and they should have let go but they didn't It's not a mistake it's just a choice

Of course, apart from what Hayes lost, plus more than ten lives, from the perspective of losing his son, daughter, and father, his life is a complete mess. I'm gay, I have no friends, my son is dead, and my daughter is gone. he lost no less than anyone else

Maybe the prosecutors aren't so bad about their "stop loss" approach. People who like the "brutal truth" can't agree, but Hayes would be better off if they followed their rules, and his father wouldn't die. This is another choose

In addition to Hayes, who also chose "brutal truth" instead of "sweet fantasy", there are actually missing girls. At least from the ending, she is in line with Hayes' emotion at the tomb, "you should have a better ending than me". It's a kind of solace, escape from a pink castle, live a peaceful rest of life in a house somewhere in sunny Greenland full of flowers

There is no good or bad between the two. "Self-healing", "loss" and "nothingness" are the biggest feelings of watching this drama, just like the sentence "time is the flame that burns us"

In the end, there was basically nothing left.

It may also be that I have over-interpreted too much. Maybe life is not so mourning. After all, there is a place in Greenland.
