After watching "True Detective" in the past two days, I sighed directly, "A good story! The story is too good." Recently, I was reading some stories of "Searching for Memories", about how people discover the secrets of the past, how to get along with the past, How do you define where you are now and discover the relationship between your present self and the past? A "Bingguo" tells the reasoning in daily life. The first story is a complete attempt to "search for memories". It is very well written and makes people realize the secrets buried in daily life. Sooner or later, the magma will spew out and melt people at this moment without reservation; then there is this "True Detective", which was recommended by a friend a long time ago. I am not interested in suspenseful police detective films. to the places he had been before and to discover the truth of the cases he had investigated before". There are always too many secrets in the past, and at the same time solving puzzles is to understand yourself, peeling back the memories composed of many mysteries, and staring at the core. To understand is liberation, and to understand others is to forgive oneself.
In fact, this heavy task has already been performed on Rust. Rust 17 years ago and 17 years later, not much has changed, 17 years ago and Marty sitting in the car talking about the pitfalls that come with people's self-consciousness, and 17 years later sitting in the office of two black police officers talking about Four-dimensional space and reincarnation are similar in principle. For Rust, the meaning of time in responsible for the growth of people and the gradual improvement of self-knowledge has been fully completed. After his daughter's death, four years undercover, a psychiatric hospitalization, and even being transferred to Louisiana as a criminal state trooper (before the film's timeline begins), he already knows who he is and what he wants. Once you know why you are alive, all the worldly pains, loneliness, fatigue, boredom and repetition, can be endured. Once he knew why he was alive, time stopped for him.
The interesting thing in the portrayal is that it seems that time has left the biggest traces on Rust. When he appeared 17 years later, he appeared like an old man, like a drug addict. He was caught every three minutes. I thought he was a suspect when I first saw it. , and Marty has maintained the seriousness, neatness, and dress of 17 years ago. But in terms of spirit, Rust has never changed. Time seems to have not flowed through him. What he was looking for before is still in pursuit, and it will never stop unless he arrives; Marty's soul has been washed again and again. A: This is the meaning of time to the worldly people who are not awake or alert enough - time is reincarnation.
Marty's wife/ex-wife Maggie commented on him 17 years later, "He never knew who he was, so he didn't know what he wanted, except I'm old enough not to get mad at this. "This kind of thing happens to people all the time. Even if I know that I once fell into a river and almost drowned, I will be willing to step in again next time I pass by. Because I don't know what kind of passion is leading me, I will try again and again when passion or impulse comes, and I will not hesitate to despise myself and insult others in the process. I cheated for the first time, and the next time I cheated, I was still the same crazy and young character, as if I had not learned a lesson. And when he married Maggie a few years ago, could it be because of her potential and color? Tao Tao in "Blossoms" had to be reminded by someone to know that his new favorite Xiaoqin was Fangmei a few years ago, and even the first encounter scene where he fell in love was almost the same, and they all set up a stall together , gossiping about family affairs together, and teasing and teasing, and pulling out feelings. Others understand this, and they can see the clues at a glance, but the authorities always think that it is a new story, a new test, and a new and abundant life will be ushered in. The appearance of the trap is always the same, the only difference is that people are forgetful.
So in Marty, time unfolds in reincarnation. The desire for control, lust, arrogance and arrogance born of ignorance, appear again and again in various details of life, and also destroy and destroy the people around him and the life itself in which he lives. The power of these destructions has accumulated to a certain extent, completely shattering people's previous lives, and people have an opportunity to stand outside the bureau to examine and become a little more sober. The shattering of these former life illusions, one is the broken family, the other is parting ways with a partner, and the other is no longer able to bear the work that he has been accustomed to. For people in the world, time is not linear, time is reincarnation, there are only two states of "in reincarnation" and "out of", "chaos" and "awake", once out of the way, looking at time is like looking at oneself. A whirlpool under his feet, no matter how fast it spins, his heart is calm.
It is such a passion called "calm" that dominates Rust. Time has lost its meaning to him, and he can see clearly the crux of the moment and what to do. The only thing left is the difference between "completed" and "uncompleted", and there is no growth, epiphany, turnaround or happiness. From the moment of recognizing it, there is no difference between living and dying, not for happiness, not for achievement, not for getting out of the realm of loneliness, it is all just because of the unresolved fate. What he practiced over and over again was how to get along with people who were fundamentally helpless. Knowing and being familiar, they are close, and since then I don't think there is any problem with this.
Time is so fun. Being with someone who knows the bottom line, looking at each other, sitting together for a few minutes, seems to have gone through a lifetime together. What one seeks can be nothing permanent at all, but just awareness. When people are passed through time, chance, or the storm called "fate" over and over again, as long as they are still a little sober, they have the opportunity to know what the various experiences, encounters and challenges that befall them mean.
Therefore, in "Searching for Memories", it was Marty who really discovered and experienced something from the past and slowly changed. It was he who completed the transformation of the so-called "character development" or "character arc". He is slowly realizing the responsibility and the position he is in. On him, there is a complete "how a man is made" story. For Rust, it makes no difference whether an event happened 17 years ago, 10 years ago or yesterday. The trajectory of the event is like a map. There are dense gaps and stitches everywhere. Retrieving memories seems to follow a map, at different times. The clues, events and characters are spread across this plane like small dots. As long as the investigation of the case continues to deepen, and new incidents that have not been noticed, can finally be practiced into a map, see to the true face of things. Time doesn't stop, evil doesn't stop, Rust's view of time is only reflected in what he has to do - if the evil is not eliminated, the victims will continue to increase, the injustice will deepen, like the world has cancer- In addition, how oneself grow old and decay in the course of time is of the utmost importance.
People move forward in such a situation, as if standing still. Challenges from "things" rather than "me" are equally destructive to people. Rust almost collapsed before sneaking into the castle-like Tuttle family to search for evidence, wondering if it was all a play in his own mind. This is also like a kind of samsara, which seems to be endless, but what it really means is the infinity of its meaning, the infinity of the road—it is an endless practice. The challenge it poses to people has no end. People do not choose to do it because they see the reward in the distance. The real life is that there is no promise, redemption and eternal peace ahead, and they still do it wholeheartedly. All the time, there is a choice”, so all challenges are challenges of determination.
From awareness to determination, the story depicts the difficulties of adulthood and achievement in real life through two character trajectories. Who do we choose to be? What kind of justice do you choose to believe in? Probably what you believe, you will see what, but the first thing is to choose to believe.
We've all seen heroes and taken comfort from them. During this period of time, I cried for the injured, victimized, and dead girls. The ones who comforted me were the firefighters who watched the girls fall from the building and cried bitterly without being rescued. He was the brightest among all the darker images, a hero. His cry was like a thunderclap, calling for a prolonged rainstorm. In the final episode, Rust says to Sheriff Steve, "Take a moment and think about that girl." Think about those girls... If you don't even think about it, you're closing your eyes and not doing anything, of course. is also an option. Humans are capable enough to become adults, and of course they can choose to be anything. As long as there is injustice, the torrential rain will fall again and again. Like a long night of mourning, the rainstorm kept hitting and washing people, just like memories, mysteries, and complicated interpersonal relationships themselves. People choose what to witness, what to witness, and what to reach, and then they choose what kind of world they want to live in.
