Handsome and General
It is true that no one lives as he pleases, and life is a bondage. But we can make life as close to what you imagine it to be through hard work and trade-offs.
Bud White: Rough temperament, in his mind, law and violence are tools used to uphold justice. The law made him a legitimate abuser, able to hit those criminals hard with violence, and violence was his way of solving the problem. Even though he is irritable and often uses his fists to solve problems, his kindness can be clearly felt.
Jack Vincennes, has a wide range of contacts, is good at managing up and down, only to be liked, not to cause trouble, full of old fritters in the bureau, keep in the police system, and dissociate from the police circle
Ed Exley, who has just appeared in the world, has his own ideals and ambitions. He is a police officer to help people achieve justice, not for power and money. He dismisses the social rules of the older generation and thinks that he can change world.
After pulling the three protagonists into the same event, their different personalities drive them to take different actions, especially when their respective ideas collide, which is the real good show of "LA Confidential". For example, in the friction scene between Ed Exley and Bud, both of them despise the other's completely different way of handling the case. Ed Exley strictly follows the rules learned in the police academy and follows the rules step by step; Bud ignores the cumbersome rules and is straightforward with guns and fists.
Investigating things to know--Social evaluation or self original intention
The greatest challenge in life is being honest with yourself in a world that tries to shape you.
A chaotic analysis of original intentions, goals, and values: The protagonists were pure in the beginning, as were Ed Exley, Bud White, and Jack Vincennes. Through their confessions, we can see their original intention of choosing to be a police officer.
Bud White told his woman in bed that he witnessed and endured severe domestic violence as a child and that he became a police officer to protect all those who were incapable of protecting themselves, especially women. The woman heard him and thought he was great.
Ed Exley's confession is also very touching: his father, also a policeman, was killed by gangsters on the mission, and the gangsters escaped, and he became a policeman so that he would not let go of any bad guys who wanted to escape the law. He then asked Vincennes why he was a police officer, and Vincennes, who has always been an old fritter, was uncharacteristically silent this time, before answering in a husky voice "I don't remember" after a while, and then he decided to help Ed Exley.
For Jack Vincennes, Ed Exley's confession moved Vincennes, awakening the purity and justice that had long lurked in him. He is reluctant to tell Ed Exley, but we can see that his original intention must be very pure. He is ashamed of his current lack of business, and he wants to help Ed Exley to find his answer. The final "Rollo Tomasi" implementation finds the answer.
Without pain, there is no salvation. Good people suffer in order to save love, and sinful people suffer in order to save their own fame and fortune.
puppet - the magic of power
Power is only given to those who dare to stoop to pick it up. This only requires one condition, only one condition: as long as it is daring! -- Dostoevsky
Los Angeles in the 1950s was officially known as the Gold Coast, with sunshine, beauty and beaches. But the reality here is dark, corrupt, and sinful. At the moment of reality, singing and dancing are peaceful, but like in Los Angeles, the magic of power changed its vest and continued to come to power.
Dudley Smith: The police chief Dudley Smith is a corrupt cop. Since a long time ago, he has cooperated with the pimp Pierce, using the pornographic photos of the congressman to go to prostitutes for black interests. After the underworld gangster Mickey C was arrested and jailed, the ambitious Dudley Smith was not satisfied with making small troubles. He was determined to take advantage of this opportunity of the underworld group of dragons without a leader, and the tiger's body shook and ruled the rivers and lakes.
Dudley Smith's domination is imminent. The three protagonists, in their respective life experiences, gradually returned to the three views. And according to the clues they found, they dig out the truth of the "night owl massacre".

Who can guarantee that the next Dudley Smith will not be him? A new generation of power magic vests are on stage. If you adapt to the unspoken rules of society, then discard your conscience. In this broken world, eroded by power, money, and vanity.
