But understand how many layers of true detection?
Level 1: Narrative. The time point of the story is actually the present, but through the narration of the two male protagonists, it has been flashed back to the past. In fact, most of the plot is in 1995, when the Antlers case happened. Then there was 2002 in the middle, and now (around 2014) when the last two were investigated.
The second layer: the plot. The plot pieced together by constantly switching narratives, in fact, the part of solving the case, in my opinion, is the relative weakness of the show. In short, the murderer's motive and even the process have not been fully explained (don't tell me that I watched the abridged version, I watched it on Tencent). As a reasoning or suspense drama, it is slightly insufficient, especially when there are too many foreshadowings (7 episodes), of course, I will look forward to the details of the final murderer's confession, but ... no.
The third layer, the characters. The characters should be the most praised part of this play, and it is indeed the part that it focuses on shaping, and the two actors, especially Matthew, are also very powerful. He is said to have written hundreds of pages of character analysis. Rust's appearance can be said to be quite unpleasant, but as soon as he appears, he is full of aura, and at first glance he is the protagonist. After 4 years of anti-drug undercover work, he was sent to a mental hospital. His daughter died and his father died. He himself asked to be transferred to the serious crime team. He lived alone and fell asleep on drugs. If there is such a person around you, you must feel extremely mysterious, and you would not dare to approach it if you want to understand. But it looks like he's a really good guy, even though he's often talked about being the bad guy in his conversations with Marty. But only he was the one who really took his life to investigate the case, especially since he was no longer a police officer, but he still gave everything to find out the truth more than 20 years ago.
Marty is the police chief with cancer in the three billboards, right? In this drama, he was quite annoying at first, not friendly enough to Rust, and cheated on the other side, but then you found out that he has absolutely no tolerance for hurting children, and his tolerance for Rust is partly because of his appreciation Rust's ability to do things, on the one hand, is that he really wants to find out the truth, justice and kindness, which are the basic qualities of a good police detective, and Marty has it.
The fourth layer is life thinking. Involving psychology, marriage, human nature and many other aspects. She is more sensitive to marital issues. In the play, Marty said to his wife Maggie that home should be warm. I see so many bad things every day. Of course, going home should be happy and enjoyable. My first reaction at the time was, that's not the case, home is just home, there is warmth, and there are many troubles. If there is only warmth at home, it means that the other party must be suppressing him. But considering that Marty is a policeman, his job is special, and he needs a warm atmosphere, and he is also considerate. But what he asked for was impossible, so he was indeed cheating. I understand cheating is human nature, but the harm caused by cheating is undeniable. Moreover, there is no fairness in marriage or relationship. It is not that you cheat once and I cheat again. Even if you do, it will still be psychologically unbalanced in terms of the contribution to the family. If you want to get along without seeing it, you can only stop loving and get along like a "brother sleeping in my upper bunk". So in the end Marty and Maggie were separated.
In terms of psychology, Rust's interrogation was very impressive, he said, in fact, everyone wants a confidence, because people are really lonely. His interrogation was like psychotherapy, making people want to say everything, tell their own stories, and forget about them, or ignore them at all, which would become testimonies confirming their guilt.
The fifth layer is religious view and cosmology. The explanation in the play is not very clear, but it seems to involve cults and sacrifice of children. The arrested drug convict has been preaching: Time is a flat circle. Everything is repeating. There is also a section in the play where a pastor preaches passionately. I can't remember the exact words, but it feels very provocative. At the end of the play, there is also a discussion between Marty and Rust on light and darkness. Rust said that the so-called "there will be light at the end of the darkness" is simply a lie, and the two have nothing to do with it. Of course, in the end, it is still sublimated to believe in the light.
When I watched it, I thought of the Harry Holler written by Younesbo that I watched again and again. It seemed that a capable police detective would eventually go to the junction of light and darkness. When Marty shot the suspect out of the program, in When Harry himself executed the prisoners he caught, they all carried out their inner justice privately, and Rust, like Harry, has a serious alcohol problem, as long as he drinks alcohol, he will collapse completely. I don't know Rust. Assuming whether it is a reference to Harry, it is a bit like it. But the difference is that Harry's decadence is outward, and he still has a lot of interactions with the outside world. After all, he has so many friends, he often forms special groups, and he can always use his charisma to find people to help him everywhere. Rust, Rust is more inward, more closed, and he's just Marty.
Well, let's stop here, I want to watch the quartet, it's also a suspenseful drama, you can watch it again and again, but there are Guangmei I like, and there are many love scenes~~~ hehe
