Re: True detective finale
I think so, too...nowadays it's more surprising when there's NOT some crazy twist. There was an interview with the writer where he basically said the same thing, and that they weren't looking to trick or lie to the audience, that it was all pretty straight forward.
I LOVED that they survived. And to be honest I was expecting an optimistic ending, because the rest of the show was so grim... I needed to see Rust take a new direction, and I liked that it happened also thanks to his partner being close to him and helping him FINALLY talk it all out.
I loved that they survived, too. I honestly didn't know what to expect in those last few minutes...I wouldn't have been at all surprised if they hadn't survived, but I love that it ended on such a hopeful note.
I think the fact that left me feel weird was that I can't understand what the writer was hinting at. I also think it was simply what we both said here, but I'm seeing many people give very different takes, so I suppose the writer maybe wanted to make it purposefully vague. It doesn't matter what Rust found to make him decide to go on, it's important that he finally found it within himself and not on his cases.
Yeah, I think maybe it was supposed to be purposefully open-ended. Obviously some people are pissed they didn't address every single tiny plot point (like, why did they imply Audrey had been molested if they weren't going to do anything with it, etc.) but I think if they'd spent more time answering questions that, IMO, didn't really matter much, it would've taken away from the emotional stuff, which I thought was ultimately the whole point of the show.
Re: True detective finale
Oh, loved that they didn't pursue that avenue, because the point of the finale was also that evil is all around you and you just can't cast light everywhere. Maybe not 'the point', but a necessary conclusion. Audrey was probably a victim, and his dad, while pursuing similar cases and also enjoying way too much the company of young girls, wasn't even aware of it.
Anyway, to be honest I thought that Audrey had simply been over exposed to his dad and had maybe seen/heard something she shouldn't have and she was extremely precocious. I wasn't sure it could imply necessarily abuse. But it would make a lot of sense and it would actually make me like the show's focus even more.
Re: True detective finale
(Anonymous) 2014-03-11 08:43 pm (UTC)(link)The whole 'Audrey was molested' thing is something something I'd seen a lot of people mention, but I'm not sure what to think. I had that thought early on (but then sort of forgot about in with everything else that was going on) so it wouldn't surprise me at all if that was the case because a lot of things point to it. But the people who decided she definitely was and that it had to be Maggie's dad who did it seemed to be kind of jumping to conclusions, I thought.
I agree that one of the messages of the finale was that there's going to be evil/darkness/bad people/however you want to word it around, and you're never going to be able to get rid of all of it/them. I think another one was that sometimes you don't get answers and that's just the way it is, and Audrey's story seemed to tie into both of those things. I guess they could've done another few episodes and explained every little unanswered question, but I'm glad they didn't go that route.
