I watched this show when it was released. I was mesmerized by it--the visuals, the stylistic choices, the characters--but I didn't understand it on any sort of meaningful level. I've gone back and rewatched it a few times, each time, seeing more, understanding more. Now, having survived a series of great hardships in RL, I find myself dwelling on Rust's perspective, and agreeing with it more and more. Before I delve into another rewatch, I've been prepping for it--watching reaction videos and interpretative videos like this. I appreciate your insight, and look forward to viewing other content by you, as this was truly a pleasure to watch. Thank you for sharing it.

The final 3 minutes shows the only real way to live life. Realize and accept that you were born to be a character in this story we call life, and that this story sucks.

I say it everywhere, alongside Martha Argerich- Herzog is my favourite person alive

One of the best movie essays I've seen on the Internet. Kudos to you.

Fire of Love looks as if it was made on Cap Cut phone editing app.

This video is very beauty. It helps me to known more things about documentary. Thanks. I also like Werner Herzog.

If you lost your faith, you never had it.

Creo que el personaje Rust mantiene en si lo que T.D.intenta mostrar, oscuridad, miseria y el sin sentido de las acciones con la fragilidad humana, sin dudas temporada 1 es única.

Has it been since 10 years?! I remember I was up late, looking for something to watch & came across True Detective. I watched it at 1am completely blind, not even so much as hearing a murmur online or watching a trailer. I must say it was thought provoking, shocking, terrifying, & sad all at once. I was kind of let down when the 2nd season came out & realized they changed the actors/characters. I got so attached to Rust & Marty. The wild part is Matthew is a devoted Christian that plays an atheist & Woody Harrelson was is an atheist that plays a Christian.

To be fair: aged milk is cheese, and I have no problem with it.

He let marty off the hook...many times

"if the only thing keeping a man decent is the expectation of divine reward, then that person is a piece of shit" This quote says everything you need to know about why Cole is so devine as an individual person... without believe in the devine himself

Dont have any real argument on your video other than, someday you ought to learn, there is no such thing as "selflessness". It is literally impossible to take an action without self interest being involved.

There's not

Russ came out after my comment 3 hours ago. But I get its

Very good analysis and insight my friend.

Communism will win.

I have been a RUclips subscriber since it's inception. Today I can confess that this video is the only video I keep coming back to over and over again. Thank you for taking the time to upload it.

Thanks for putting this together. I remain obsessed with a fictional character. And his creators, if I’m honest. 🖤

It's like comparing lo-fi indie hip-hop to Dvorak

this video is so bad. And the sound is even worse

10:30 oddly and ironically enough, lying to protect the innocent is not condemned Biblically. Rahab was spared death and destruction because she hid the two Hebrew spies and lied to their pursuers from their enemy army.

Nobody truly loses "Faith". If you lose your religion, something else will take it's place. Even if it is a belief in nothing, and suffer in depression it is still a sort of faith. I myself, relate to a lot of what he says. He is basically stating the world is a never ending loop that we are all trapped in, and we will never change it. All we can do is accept it or die. I myself relate my faith more in line with the Samurais Code. I refuse to lie, I will be try to always live honorably. I mostly wish to die, like a Spartan screaming difiance, not curled up in a blanket, sobbing.

Because some how they end up being the funniest character.

Sorry, your interpretation is extremly self-defeatist and it seems like you wen't into this analysis of the show to feel better about your own (likely grim) outlook on existence. If life is meaningless, than is it actually (already) strong to not become evil and bitter or fade away into apathy ? No, I don't think so, that's just rationalizing weakness. Afterall, the former idea can only be true if the expected (not strong nor weak) state would be to do degenerate. That this isn't true is severly obvious to anyone who isn't utterly depressed and or has read books from people like Camus, Nietzsche, Viktor Frankl, etc. People like Nietzsche, Frankl and Camus, hell, even people like David Goggins, didn't and don't fall into apathy and depression in the face of the absurb, so why does Rust, if he is such a strong and conscientious charackter? Why can't he live "without hope" ? Simple, because you need a depressed character for a show like this. People can't relate to someone so strong, self assured and aware that he can enjoy and find glory in a life without meaning, at least not as much. That's why he's all like "oh poor me, I drink to forget, I act only out of instinct otherwise I would just lay down and die 😢" It feels like he, at least parly, is there to affirm the viewer in, and justify, their own apathy. (This is exactly what Rick&Morty had to do to keep up with the Zeitgeist: acknowledge Rick is wrong in thinking (and obviously acting) the way he does and is self sabotaging by doing so) Instead True Detective should have communicated that purpose isn't found but activly created and fought for. At the smallest level, it's even just the decision to act alone. Meanwhile, at the end of the series, Rust by pure chance finds purpose through another random hallucination/dream about his daughter. Action and change can heal depression, pondering some edgelord thought experiment while drinking a whole six pack and smoking cigarettes won't.

This role and him in Interstellar are so incredible man.

Does the author know you are direct quoting him and passing it off as your own thoughts?

You haven’t “lost” anything. You gained seeing the world without superstitious bs.

Seen both. The Fire Within is superior.

This show hits me when I had just finished reading Watts and all that stuff about living in the present. Especially the dialogue in the car, that scared me because from the beginning I felt like someone watching the story from a window and not necessarily agreing to my part of it. Anyway, I was 17 but I never left the window and it's hard to be aware of that.

I was brought up by an abusive mother, who was both physically and emotionally/mentally abusive towards me. My father didnt have much to say whenever my mother would torment me, because he himself was verbally abused by emasculatinf words by her, and he did very lettle to protect me or push me to exercise my own autonomy. I grew up witnessing my mom's adultery from my age 6 till end of secondary school, and kept them a secret from my father, always feared if he were to discover he'd be devastated and my family might fall apart. I was the most people pleasing, insecure guy in my friends group, never took a stance for myself whenever i was made to feel belittled by my friends. I was protective of my close friends, but never grew a spine to resist or leave a friends group whenever I'm treated poorly. Became too reclusive, and withdrew from social life. Later i discover how my mother's father was a straying husband, with two wives unable to take good care of either family, and my mother was always bullied by her own 9 siblings, she being the youngest of all, and would be the scapegoat of her own mother, beaten by her and made to drop education early life. And she was abandoned by her family a fews years after I was born. It's frustrating, saddening, a pity when i look at myself, always trying to act a subordinate to others. And im very narcissistic, making self-deprecating jokes seeking approval, manipulatinf others to seek sympathy, always wanting others to feel sorry for me, but when they do feel sorry for me, i want them to give me respect. Its exhausting. I dont really want anything. Im always afraid I'll end up with a woman who would cheat on me and treat me like my mother, and im very confused about how i want to be seen by others when im stripped from my fundamental desire to seek pity from others.

I loved True Detective first season was perfect. There are people in this world that have an epigenetic pulse that are for the good for humanity. That is Rust. Your analysis is correct. People exist like Rust just remain unseen, and they prefer life that way. Amen.

Wow this magical shot, always really thought he just summoned the wind

A quite remarkable essay. I’m currently writing a script, and this revealed many things to me. Thank you

Same here. Because he is real, true detective

Good Video

Stop saying odd sh*t

Does anybody know what's name of the audio in the first four seconds?

would love your mind and imagery on why/what happened within that caused you to step away from the faith

Life should be lived for what it is and to overcome our present limitations, not for external rewards and metaphysical redemptions. We've been culturally indoctrinated to depend on God's validations so much that once we realize the truth, we become powerless to be anything without a higher authority than our own.

Shane whigham crushed it! He was so good! Great video!

Have you read “the conspiracy against the human race”?

This world is a fvcking loop

please dont make anymore content

My theory is that, had the first season of Miami Vice been more about the dialogue between two cops thrown together by circumstance, who could not be more different from one another, it would have been exactly like this...buuuuut instead, we got "In the Air Tonight"...also influential.

Wasn't he sanctimonious and judgmental? I watched only the first 3 episodes, I think. I guess he fought fire with fire.

The gentleman who gives the epilogue, speaks so eloquently of his ego death, that I was put into my feels. McConaughey's portrayal of Rustin Cohle, soothed my red neck soul, too. It redeemed the chivalrous deeds of our long, lost forebears. Well done. ❤

You lost your faith and became an existentialist. It’s the only honest path you can take if you don’t have faith.

I will B a frnd to U sweety! Ntng else!

Sweety. Plz be a frnd to me!. No one yet understood me ❤🎉!!
