Good ending

Thank God, the true detective crew gave the first season of this film a bright ending. There is no protagonist falling down sadly and depressingly. Rust is not dead, Marty is not dead, and even Rust has become. If you are optimistic, you will say, "After all, the light wins, because it was just darkness before." It's not like what he would say. Although the pretentious literary youths will be a bit dissatisfied, but I believe that every ordinary American audience who has watched the TV series can turn off the TV and go to sleep peacefully.

Because of this end, Zhentan's TV series can be included in the classics, and not the private creation of the creator's strong will alone. At the end of the story, religious beliefs and personal will, and even about life and death itself, reached a certain reconciliation. As the screenwriter said, watching this TV is worse than watching a mysticist novel. It is better to read the Bible. This story about ugly sins under religion has confirmed the existence of God through Rust’s life. Perhaps this statement will Let the materialists disagree, but as the ending of the TV series this is very beautiful, because it dispels the heavy darkness that permeates the drama.

The recent TV series have created too many serial killers for us. We have become accustomed to the bloody and curious scenes, the dramatic plots, the different kinds of killers who are hidden among ordinary people and even charming killers. We have We are used to looking for dog blood, curious, bloody, absurd and unruly in the play. In fact, we have regarded murder and terror as the spice of ordinary life, and the visual stimulation that True Detective brings us is far less than this. The plot turns, the murder, and the legendary degree of the murderer displayed by Tanli are far from the astonishing development that we are familiar with.

However, if you think that such a plot is boring, you would be wrong. In the last episode, there is a positively described killer, although only a few limited shots, the cruel, distorted and gloomy childlike expressions he expresses are enough to make people feel. Cold hands and feet, this horror is too real and short-lived. Even the moment when the devil shows his fangs is only a few seconds. The encounter between Rust and Marty and the murderer did not involve fierce and gorgeous fights, just slaughter, and Struggling with life hanging by a thread.

There is no extraordinary superego in the real detective who is tireless in the truth, and there is no high-tech team to solve unimaginable strange cases efficiently, and some are cruel under the ordinary in daily life, such as the cruelty diluted by the quietly flowing turbid river water. , And the people who can't stop making mistakes and drifting up and down in fate.

Director Carry Fukunaka, a Japanese-Swedish mixed-race person, may have concentrated the genes of the two major depression-prone countries on the planet. When it comes to the story, the story is so dark that it has no margins. With the smooth narrative structure of the screenwriter Nic Pizzolatto and the subtle and subtle aspects of the characters The description of Zhentan has a neo noir-style story structure, a gray-green picture texture mixed with the corrupt and humid atmosphere of the American South, and a mystical Gothic literary scene that occasionally appears, and it is dotted with the daily life of the middle class. An inextricably desperate moment in life. And this story clearly took place in the warm, humid, turquoise and smoky south, where the ice cooling is like the sunset of the Arctic Circle, slowly disappearing from the horizon in the dim and orange glow, leaving endless darkness spreading here.

This darkness is so long.

Seventeen years of time, no, the darkness longer than this seems to be rooted in the gray-black soil of the Lewisian dark green swamp, and even the context of trying to discern the exact direction has been rotten and corrupted.

And Rust always pursues this darkness, as if walking slowly towards the end in a long, dark tunnel, it's the story or his own.

In Marty’s 17 years, from the side of his happy wife and daughter, to the lonely middle-aged man who seems to be successful in his career but lonely, so many happy and beautiful years slip away like sand in his hands, Marty hopes Holding the empty palm, "It is not my infidelity that is wrong, but my indifference." He tried to settle his life, but inadvertently lost everything.

What about Rust? A huge shadow is hidden in his heart, like acid corroding his soul. The people he loves have already left his life and will never come back again. If this great grief can be entrusted to him You may be liberated from the illusion of life, but Rust understands too much and loves too much. He does not believe in God, so life is not liberated. He just wanders silently in the dark, crossing all truths and illusions. , To find the end of the tunnel, and time no longer makes sense, only keep moving forward until life burns to ashes.

Before and after, everything was nothingness.

But if this is the ending, it would be too sad and incomprehensible.

I have no faith myself, so I know the coldness of unbelief in people's hearts, but because James (Craigs James) said that religion is like a virus in the head, I have doubts about religion in my heart. Human life is like the shining stars in the deep darkness. Whether it is believing in eternal darkness or the ultimate salvation, it is like an illusion. So at least let’s tell a story, an ancient story, darkness and light, justice And evil.
