Every time I look back, there is something worth remembering. A good script and crew is exactly like telling an immersive story. No gimmicks, no kitsch, the logic and clues hidden in the dialogue switching, no facialized characters, clever and metaphorical perspectives, evocative long shots, solid and refined lines, close to the truth, and the BGM that sometimes sounds just right.
From the catchy opening title song "Far From Any Road" in the first episode, to the wild and unruly "Honey Bee (Let's Fly To Mars)" under the long shot of the fourth episode; finally to the eighth episode of "Far From Any Road". "The Angry River", the collaboration between music and plot is perfect.
Tell me, have you considered suicide?
Fu_ck it, I think the world is crazy.
Rustin Cohle has countless reasons to do this: a survivalist, a father who participated in the Vietnam War, had not watched TV before the age of 17, worked as a police officer, went to a robbery group, an anti-narcotics department, a DEA, worked as a drug dealer, and saw an undercover agent. Inflicted cruel and inhumane capital punishment, faced great mental pressure, and was admitted to a mental hospital. After he got married, a little girl died when she was 2 years old, and then she divorced and met a new woman again, but she finally died without illness. He laughed at himself and said that he did not have the courage to commit suicide.
He is arrogant, even a little arrogant, intelligent, keen, insightful to human nature, unsocial, nicknamed Taxman, knows what he is doing, knows better what he wants, but inevitably indulges in drugs and alcohol, but often in one word, cut in. Vital. Only when you are immersed in the work of solving crimes can Rust temporarily relieve you of the urge to indulge yourself and kill yourself.
And when he became Crush and disguised as this drug dealer, he gained unprecedented freedom, because there is no longer a secular restraint, here, he can be released and calm, even though it brings him closer to death. Although this is also an illusion of being alive.
The more he thinks, the more confused he becomes, the deeper and lonely he is, the more desperate he fights.
After leaving the police station, he began self-exile, drunk, and a rough life. He despised punishment and atonement (Forgiveness Doesn't Exist). The only thing he can't let go of is Dora Lang's case, which is his motivation to live.
On the contrary, Marty doesn’t think so. He is good at doing things, knows how to communicate, and strives to be the "good guy" in everyone's hearts-a good subordinate in the eyes of a boss, a Nice Guy in a colleague, a good father in the eyes of a child, a good husband in the eyes of a wife, and a good husband in the eyes of a lover. Good friend of artillery. But he refused to think, and the biggest mistake he made was-indifference. No matter how shit in this world is, he can "accept" it. As long as he can live a good life, he doesn't understand guilt and reflection, but he has a bottom line: a child. Not only because Marty has two daughters himself, but the child is a symbol of the future and hope, but also because of this incentive for Rust to abandon himself. It is the bottom line of this conscience that allows the two people to work together to complete the case.
In the process of handling cases from 1995 to 2012, in 2017, Rust's morbid and distorted life bloomed with extreme beauty. It's like a meteor passing by in a flash across the dark night sky. The existence of Marty's vulgar desire still adheres to his own justice, illuminating Rust's fragile and lonely heart.
In the battle against evil, Rust finally chose to let go of himself. He was his prisoner. When he drew the knife from his ribs and wanted to leave the world one hundred times, death was a relief to him, but he didn't expect to survive. At the end, accompanied by Marty, he completed his self-saving. From the darkness to the unknown distance together. You're Not Alone.
