The American TV series "True Detective Season 1"


can truly impress me the most profound words said by the hero "Last", which cut into the life of the current civilized society. And coldly facing the warmth of all the existing poisonous chicken soup in the world, subverting the three views of most cn's mediocrity. . Here I excerpt a few classic passages to share with you.

Human World
Dialogue 1: (12 minutes/36 seconds in the first episode),
the dialogue between Rust and his partner in the car~


The two often chatted in the car

"Last: People here don't seem to know that there is another world outside, just like living on the moon.
Partner - Marty: There are any settlements in the world.
Russ T: There is only one ghetto in the world, a ditch in the universe.
Marty: Are you a Christian?
Rust: Not
Marty: Then why is there a cross in your apartment?
Rust: That It is for meditation.
Marty: How to meditate
Rust: I meditate in the backyard to see how to cultivate myself.
Marty: But you are not a Christian, what is your belief?
Rust: I think human beings Consciousness is a sad mistake in evolution. We know too much about ourselves, and nature takes part of itself and turns into nature. We are creatures that should not exist according to the laws of nature.
Marty: Listen It's terrifying to wake up
Rust: We're enslaved by the illusion of self, a combination of sensory experiences and sensations. It's presupposed that each of us is someone, in fact none of us. For the world The noblest thing for any species is to refuse to be set, to stop reproducing, to go hand in hand to extinction, the last night of life, brothers and sisters seeking justice in life.
Marty: What's the point of waking up every morning.
Rust: I told myself to witness, but the truth is that I was just set up like this, and I don't have the courage to commit suicide"

Rational Violent
Dialogue II: (21-23 points in the second episode)
Partner Marty and lover get together He met Rust in the locker room at the police station a night later.
Rust taunts Marty for having a nasty smell. Marty was furious to beat him, grabbed him and pushed him on the locker in the locker room. Rust said indifferently and calmly that I can break your hand with just a little force.


The motorcycle shop violently

asked for evidence for 25 minutes/18 seconds. In order to obtain information on the case, Rust violently beat the two repairmen in the motorcycle.
From this behavior, we can see that Rust is a calm, efficient person who does not use violence indiscriminately or excludes violence.


A woman who died in a religious ceremony.

Religion (Christianity)
Dialogue 3: (4 minutes/16 seconds in the third episode ) Dialogue
at the evangelical pastor's sermon scene~
Rust: What do you think the general IQ of this group of people is?
Marty: Are there any other arrogant Texans like you? Do you know this group of people?
Rust: Just careful observation, analytical reasoning. I found that this group of people are fat and poor. And long for a fairytale-like life. They put the only money they have into the little bamboo baskets that are passed on, and I'm sure the people here are very united.
Marty: Did you see that, you're still a fucking dick. No one wants to masturbate to a murder manual alone in an empty room. Some people like to live in groups and pursue common interests.
Rust: Yes, if the common interest requires making up fairy tales for a living, then he doesn't do anyone any good.


The pastor on the podium

(later, the pastor in the play ended up being a pastor because of the corruption of the church) speaks on the podium: Grief imprison you here, they make you lose your mind, there are many good people with conscience in the world, I can see , I can see a lot of good hearts, I can see the world full of joy.

Marty: I said you imagine what people would do if they lost their faith?
Rust: They will be like they are now. Go to such a public place to meet.
Marty: Fart, without faith, the world will be full of murder and prostitution, you know that.
Rust: If only looking forward to God's reward can make people take the right path, then brother, such people are garbage. For me to meet these kinds of people, I will do my best to drive them to such places.
Marty: I think your comment is as correct as stinky shit. Do you think the Bible is a tablet?
Rust: How does it describe life? You have to get together and tell yourselves stories that blaspheme the laws of the universe, just to get by. How do you solve your real problems? By faith, pony?
Marty: It feels like you're flustered every time you talk like that.

The screen turns to the police station, and the police officer who receives the case talks to Rust.


There are two black cops in total, one of them is a

young black cop (continuing the religious dialogue between Marty and Slater): You know it's all a lie, right? Are they all? Are they all wrong?
Rust: Yes, since one monkey looked at the sun, it said to another monkey. God said, let you share all your hell with me. People are too fragile, they would rather throw their money into a wishing well than buy dinner, the

pastor (returning to the sermon) speaks from the stage: Jesus Christ Jesus, your arms are open and closed, mine are The memory of life cannot hold any of your truths. You shake the quill into the ashes, you caress the leaves with its flame. Amen, Amen.

RAST (off the podium with Marty): It's cathartic to transfer fear and self-loathing into the container of authoritarianism. He dispels their fears by telling stories. Because of this, the convincingness of his words is directly proportional to the certainty of the stories he outlines. Some linguistic anthropologists believe that religion is a language virus that changes the way people think and dulls critical thinking.
Marty: I'm not as good at using so many high-level words as you, but for someone like you who doesn't even think it's interesting to exist, it's really lenient. When you say this, you're still very flustered.
Rust: At least I didn't knowingly, all the self-doubt came from him knowing it existed.

Friendship
Dialogue 4: (Episode 4: 21 minutes/46 seconds)
In the bar, the partner was in a bad mood and chatted with Rust because of an extramarital affair.


In the bar, the two chatted with

Marty: I just want her (Marty's wife) to give me a chance. If I had another chance~~
Rust (interrupting Marty): Let me tell you something
Marty: Okay
Rust: It's none of my business, I don't want to hear
Marty: Okay, sorry .
After a moment of silence~
Marty: You're an asshole. You know, part of the blame is on you, you know, you just came into my life, created tensions and pointed fingers at me.
Rust: Why am I the one who asked you to play the younger version of Maggie (Marty's wife), who I told you to show off? Damn, you were at the Longhorn that day and you stared at her so blatantly (Marty's lover, Maggie was there) and she was going to follow you, it's crazy enough, you're bragging so much Know how crazy you are.
Marty: I screwed up~~~~

In the cafe, my partner wife Maggie talks to Rust (32min/08sec)


Rust and Maggie talk to

Maggie: It's the right way to break up early.
Rust: Listen, this has nothing to do with me, I want to say this, I need his help (solving the case).
Maggie: That's why you're all messed up. It's always hard to change what's wrong.
Rust: Difficult to change?
Maggie: Well, what else?
Rust: He wanted me to apologize, but I ignored it. He also wants to meet his daughters, if you can arrange it. The kids are the only thing that matters, Maggie. Children are the bond between men and women.
Maggie: Sorry, what exactly are you implying?
Rust: People will screw things up and we'll all get old, men and women. Apart from cooperating with having children, there should be no other relationship. Suppose you misread Marty's behavior as a sign of weakness, pain (Marty goes to the hospital to make trouble and wants Maggie to be with him). You can see that it's not because of you.
Maggie: In the end you end up the same as everyone else. Use rationalization as a shield. You must be a good husband.
After hearing this sentence, Rust felt as if Maggie was implying something, as if she wanted to understand him? He left angrily.

Life and Death
Dialogue 5: (Episode 8 - Finale 47 minutes/53 seconds)


The two were almost stabbed to death by the madman

Rust (who had been in a life-and-death struggle with criminals before): For a moment, I knew that when I was enveloped in darkness, something, no matter what I was reduced to, even lost awareness. It was a kind of vague consciousness in the dark (people have subconscious, preconscious, conscious. Three different kinds of consciousness), and I could feel that my whole being was fading away, and I was enveloped in that darkness, and there was another a feeling.
It's deeper, it's warm, it's like it's real. I can feel it. And I know, my daughter (his daughter died in a car accident a long time ago), was there waiting for me, very clearly, she was waiting for me. And I can also feel a little bit of my dad's presence. Like I'm part of everything I've ever loved and we're all there. The three of us are just slowly disappearing. And the only thing I had to do was let go, and I did.
I said "dark, yeah yeah" and I just disappeared. But I can still feel her love. Even more than ever, there is nothing but love clinging to me.
Then I woke up and


watched -

disgruntled fans


The few beauties in this film are sent to the Appearance Association as

a "Appearance Association Movie Fan": some viewers watch the movie to see the protagonist's appearance, sometimes the male protagonist is average, and sometimes the woman who has an extramarital affair has a sultry figure. I watched too many Korean dramas, Japanese dramas, soap bubble dramas. They are all fans of the Appearance Association who are among the undefeated. Therefore, it is impossible for the protagonist of this show to be mediocre to stimulate their eyeballs.


Yo yo, you must be high.

Two "domestic features, positive energy fans": Some people watch too many domestic dramas, such as "Youth" - some people say it is aesthetics, what I see is a group of brainless youths Big party.
"Wolf Warrior" - all kinds of obscene, irrational "patriotism".
"Little Times" - an expression of material supremacy, various anti-Japanese dramas - throwing a grenade can blow up a speeding plane.
Or I can only accept the overly simple and positive energy of Hollywood blockbusters, so I can't even understand basic human language, I can't understand it, I can't think in a different position, so I hate this film.


Sherlock Holmes

three "mechanical case-solving enthusiasts": some only see case-solving, so I feel that this kind of film must be compared with "Sherlock Holmes".


Contributed to the current family planning, 6 children? who?

4: "Daoist movie fans of domestic feudal morality": Some people are too positive. When they hear that a corrupt official with a mistress is arrested, it is like a person as sweet as eating a piece of chocolate. So people like them don't understand the definitions of marriage and sex, love and self-love, religion, and friendship that are involved in the film.

To sum up, friends with the above mentality will immediately feel humiliated after watching this film. humiliated his sluggish intelligence. Or use low-level values ​​to deny the feudal and totalitarian nature of the people with more humanistic values.

Comparison of genre films
Every time I start to criticize Scott, I will seriously savor and think for a while, pause the film, and then figure out that I am continuing to press the play button. In fact, I don't completely agree with his point of view, but there are really not many films with high-frequency philosophical views in American TV dramas.


Fight Club, one of my favorite films.

Some films may be just a complete philosophical view. The anti-materialist "Fight Club",
or some films of the French New Wave, appear as literary and artistic models, and ramble on. Stream of consciousness philosophy, such as "Alpha City".
There are also films about the future choices that the entire human race needs to face, and the belonging of the soul, such as "Ghost in the Shell".
Or an open-minded reverie about the state of existence of life, "Interstellar". There are many more examples of
dystopian popular films "Dog Tooth", "1984", "Blade Runner", "V for Vendetta" and so on, so I won't repeat them here.

People who like to think, or who will be inspired by this film, will naturally like this film. The guy who doesn't understand but doesn't think actively, and is still angry, can only go to see the wolf, he will definitely regain his self-confidence and sense of existence.
