Re: True detective finale

[neonlovechicken]

SPOILERS CLEARLY

I have mixed feelings.

Since Rust has been my cynic godless soul mate for 7 episodes I feel like the ending has failed a bit in communicating his partial redemption at the end, it felt a bit abrupt. I'm not sure it was him finding religion like many others are implying either.

I admit to me any kind of shift from not-religion to religion feels like a regression of sorts (because I'm not religious, don't mean to come across as judging, it's just how I feel about the whole matter), so maybe I'm being biased, but I feel it wasn't really about believing in the afterlife, but more like finding a new purpose in life within yourself.

All in all it was a good optimistic ending, only I'm not sure if I'm reading what the writers wanted to communicate... I feel like I'm not getting the point. It's sort of driving me crazy, also because I think the writer didn't even mean for it to be so deep and shit. I'm probably making up things that weren't there to begin with.

I don't think it was a finding religion thing, either. It was more... letting go of the hard shell of nihilist cynicism he'd been holding onto out of grief for the people he lost, because it wasn't real. The killer says as much when he tells Rust to drop his mask, which is why I DO think the writers meant it to be fairly profound. This was a good article on it, I thought:

"The killer says as much when he tells Rust to drop his mask"
Fuck, I had forgotten about this line! Very clever indeed. Also the vision he had in the 'temple' before the killer comes out.

Having slept on it I'm now even more convinced I loved the finale. Television (especially american shows) relies too much on the shock value and the twist at the end. Reality is never like this and I was aware since the start that the writer's agenda was probably to avoid that kind of ending. And indeed, they delivered.

Ah, now I should probably rewatch all of it.

Thanks for the links!
