The pursuit of truth is worthless - True Detective

What people want is never the truth, all people want is a story, a story that can tell all the mysteries. The police are satisfied with the story: the case is over, justice is announced, and everyone is happy; the media is satisfied with the story: the big news, the city is full of upheaval, and the writer is satisfied with the story: there must be details, it is determined to be the truth, and the thinking is sublimated.

Stories are never the truth . In the first season of True Detective, the lifelong obsession of True Detectives seems to be to find a story that explains all the mystery. But viewers who read this story may not feel that all the details of the mystery are echoed back and forth. Obviously all the details point to a higher level of corruption and a seemingly larger criminal group, why did the plot take a turn for the worse and finally all the charges were safely on a mentally retarded person? The author does not necessarily regard the readers as mentally retarded! The story will never be the truth, can every angle of questioning be answered? Why can't there be no coincidence? (Irrelevant) Can't the judge slap himself in the face? Can't you just beat yourself up in the face?

The story is about obsession. True Detective Season 3: One-Eyed has been guiltily trying to figure out how to unravel his own knot, until he heard a satisfying story at the monastery. This story made his heart end, and he didn't have to search for it any more. What was left was the guilt and guilt that he carried for the rest of his life. True Detective Season 3: The True Detectives reopened the case twice, just to find the story in their hearts but their obsession. They found this story in the monastery and let go of their obsession. However, the screenwriter turned his pen in an ingenious way, telling all the audience that what he got out of his obsession might not be the truth.

The truth doesn't always have to be the way it is. True Detective Season 2: An orphan boy forbears his life for revenge. Sitting on the back of the bench, he heard the story he least wanted to hear and couldn't believe: what he cruelly ended was the life of his biological father. Life was unbearable, he was angry and he resisted, he was unwilling to accept the story, even if it was the truth of the matter.

In the series of True Detective, we have seen the hard pursuit of the truth. Do not hesitate to sacrifice family happiness to pursue hard; do not hesitate to take on the obsession of a lifetime, and even do not hesitate to kill people and make insincere actions; in exchange, it is just a story, which seems to be explained to everyone, to all obsessions. I can't help but ask: If I don't pursue this persistently, is it wrong? In the first season, if the true detectives didn't pursue it hard, would the murderer never fall under the law? In the second season, even though I pursued it hard, has justice been announced? Has anything changed in the final finale of season 3 because of the quest?

As the female writer narrates: What if the truth itself had healed everything? Maybe the third season is really the finale.
