At least for me personally, Rawls is the only character in the whole "The Wire" that makes me feel unexpectedly curious, and it should be the only one, so that even if I stand outside the play, I am in the perspective of God. The audience also finds it difficult to understand their inner person through behavior. The Deputy in this crowd runs through the entire play from season one to five seasons. The scenes are fragmented and have less playing time than most characters throughout the story. However, as the day of Bacheng in front of the screen started and sunset, his image was constantly improved and turned into a real mystery. This trend gradually emerged in the next two seasons, and even no one was given at the end of the play. The exact answer. Some descriptions from the side and details continue to subvert his image in the audience's mind, but the final result is confusing, confused that two almost completely opposite characteristics happen to the same person without conflict. That is one. Kind of weird harmony.
You can't see through him.
The screenwriter always seems to want to secretly tell that Rawls is an unfathomable person.
He also succeeded
because to tell the truth, until the end of the play, from the behavior point of view, I still don't know his true thoughts and character. Judging from the results, I think he has a bright future.
When you think that the entire BPD is living under totalitarian rule, his back to everyone, just a gesture of "receiving the team" caused the overall cheers. You think everyone treats him with false feelings, but people like Jay give him high praise and praise from the heart. He didn't hesitate to ask his subordinates to falsify the data, but he also solemnly told Carcetti the real crux of the impact on BPD. He usually acted extremely strong, then appeared in gay bars. He even comforts Jimmy, who is thorny from any angle. Of course, he doesn't show any mercy to those who resist (or Jimmy). Whether you noticed it or not, he never slapped Burrel. Before Carcetti came to power, he also fully supported Daniels' work.
This is a retreat and pragmatic person, his thoughts are always buried deep in his heart, as erratic as his eyes.
But I always feel that, looking at "The Wire", maybe Rawls is the soul of Jie Deba City.
