Reddington Quote: A farmer comes home. Who burns, must pay [The Blacklist]

- Raymond 'Red' Reddington: [to the Stewmaker while Elizabeth listens] A farmer comes home one day to find that everything that gives meaning to his life is gone. Crops are burned, animals slaughtered, bodies and broken pieces of his life strewn about. Everything that he loved taken from him - his children. One can only imagine the pit of despair, the hours of Job-like lamentations, the burden of existence. He makes a promise to himself in those dark hours. A life's work erupts from his knotted mind. Years go by. His suffering becomes complicated. One day he stops - the farmer who is no longer a farmer - sees the wreckage he's left in his wake. It is now he who burns, he who slaughters, and he knows in his heart he must pay.

It is like an entirely new league of storytelling with Raymond
can anybody elaborate the meaning?
Aditya Gaikwad i exclusively watch The blacklist. Raymond is my spiritual guide.

He's talking about a farmer, whose family and everything he cares about is gone. The farmer then takes revenge from those who hurt him, that's the meaning of the farmer's wake, and maybe hurt innocent people in the process or loved ones. The farmer after a while stops and wonders about the wreckage that he's left due to his pursuing of revenge and then knows he only burnt himself and now he has to pay for his actions.
To put it simply, he's saying don't take revenge because revenge only destroys you.
@@kondalreddy4974 He is talking about himself....
The dramatic pauses leave you hanging, waiting while he search’s for just the most ominous word to use to whom he is talking to. Giving added weight at the right moment. James Spader is a underrated actor.
Perfect words brother.
James Spader is by far one of the finest actors working today, they say that tv is dead and call it the boob tube but I'll watch scenes from Blacklist or Longmire and think omg that was some of the best writing and acting I've seen in years .
You just know that when Red tells you a story it could very well be the last one you'll ever hear!
Definitely
This is essentially die a hero or live long enough to become a villain
can anybody elaborate the meaning?
The quote is from the Dark Knight, in which a character says that either you'll die a hero, or you'll eventually turn into the villain you spent so long trying to combat. It's tied pretty heavily into the themes of that movie and there is a sense of poetic irony in the statement given how the film plays out. Red's story here does somewhat relate to that quote with an innocent man becoming a mirror image of the person that "burns and slaughters", and being forced to reconcile with what he's become.
Both are kind of plays on Nietzsche's famous quote "Whoever fights with monsters should see to it that he does not become a monster in the process. And when you gaze long into an abyss the abyss also gazes into you."
I disagree. The farmer was never a hero, he was traumatized and transformed by the senseless tragedy that fell upon him and the loss he suffered into a vengeful wrath that sought retribution. On that path the farmer never cared to stop and reflect on his action, not until it was too late for he has already lost every bit of good in him.
@@himarkabane Yes, exactly. It's more like Lone Wolf and Cub or John Wick if it was just an ordinary dude - who then reflected upon his actions at the end.
The farmer wasn't fighting evil either, so much as getting revenge and doing a lot of collateral damage.
I felt like he was telling his story
I swear I can fall asleep to his voice
can anybody elaborate the meaning?
many people have.
kondal reddy he was talking about himself basically explaining himself to keen
Well, usually when he gives anecdotes and monologues like that, someone will end up sleeping. Permanently.

i would love a james spader audio book or podcast
“Doesn’t he Stanley.”
“Red, he couldn’t help it...”
“Maybe not. Maybe he can make amends for all those he’s hurt so terribly, or maybe not”
*throws him in the kfc deep frier*
I love his crisp and mind-blowing delivery words and phrases.
Anyone else picturing Ultron saying this? Ultron had hopes that were dashed when he realized he would always just be a machine. And so his 'father' must pay for making him.
Speaking of Marvel, this could easily apply to Punisher. For years Frank bad-mouthed guys like Spider-Man and Daredevil and called them wusses for not putting criminals down. Deep down, he knows what he does is horrible which is why Frank doesn't have a lot of friends, sidekicks, or love interests and why he's never a part of any team. He knows he loves killing like a serial killer does, which he is. So at the same time he hates it, being the honorable antihero he is and now badmouths and stops any cops that try to copy him. He may technically do good, but even Punisher knows no one should BE like him.
James Spader's portrayal of Raymond Reddington was the only reason I watched the blacklist. I found the plot absurd at times.
Great represation of regardless of how shitty your life had been, you have to pay for your actions.
I love The Blacklist, I love Red, I love James Spader❤😎
Sounds a lot like Neville Townsend
That just blew me away..
thank you for sharing this. can you post more of reddington's stories. a very compelling character
can anybody elaborate the meaning?
@@kondalreddy4974 It's possible that this is Red's story. The way I see it, the farmer was a good, honest man but he lost everything and that changed him in a very bad way and even though he has done terrible things, he knows thst he has to pay for those things.
He and his speeches are the only good thing in this mess of a series. The scenes he's not in are a mindnumbing disaster. I always fast forwarded.
@@kondalreddy4974 I take it you had not watched the series as the time you asked this question?
Excelente narrativa , me encanta , deseando ver la temporada 8 , gracias
Forever alone. Cheer up! Poor farmer.
This show never deserved him
Can he make a book of quotes then follow it up with an audio book? I need his wisdom
Yes definitely.
Reddington explaining season 10
damn bro that shit kinda sad low-key
Great words
can anybody elaborate the meaning?
@@kondalreddy4974 A truly good man, will do evil things for vengeance and anger. And if he is truly good, he will see the evil things he has done as wrong. And he will not see himself as a hero, but as the monster he truly is. Later this very character is told, " You're a monster." And he says , " Yes."
to me this sound's like the beginning of the move scene Josie Wales,when his wife and son are killed,and his house and farm are burned down.
who can dislike this ?
A shadow up amado ass, what a deadly jutsu, even more deadly than the thousand year of death
Gracias a una amiga, quien me brindó la traducción, pude disfrutar a la vez, del texto y de la narración de James Spader ,cuya voz y pronunciación característica , le dan la profundidad y el sentido a cada palabra.
Un placer escucharlo.
This man wow he plays a hell of a roll, he's like the doctor house of government and crime type shows.
Agreed, he is an exceptional orator, that show wouldn't have gone anywhere with any other actor, nor would have House went anywhere without Hugh Laurie
Justice comes in many form's
Friend! Please please please do "Give me that, one day."
Doesn't he Stanley?
can anybody elaborate the meaning?
what i observed is when red is telling a story at start he speaks like a feminine and suddenly he changes to a a serious wisdom and knowledge and ends the listener into a sublime state
this story that Red talks about is loosely based on the book of Job.
No because Job never went for vengeance is about a a good man who went for vengeance and at the end loss every good thing about him and turn in to a monster who slaughtered his house
Traduz por favor amo essa voz
James Spader🌹
How long has it been since we got a good story or parable from Red?
Is he talking about himself or the the stewmaker??
Isn’t that right Stanley?
Here's the video: ruclips.net/video/8ysYAqn_gBw/видео.html
Palestine in the late 40s, early 50s when locals see their olive trees, farms and equipment sabotaged and burning...
can anybody elaborate the meaning?
kondal reddy ....if you listen, he’s telling the stewmakers own story back to him....Lizzy says to Red that the Stewmaker couldn’t help it. Then the two, Red and the Stewmaker are considered both monsters. Red knew the Stewmaker. He knew he took Berlin’s daughter and Red takes her picture from the Stewmakers photo album.
@kondal reddy I actually believe that this is the story of Red.
He says how one day he finds his family slaughtered and goes on to revenge and kill every one who hurt them:
"One day he stops - the farmer who is no longer a farmer - sees the wreckage he's left in his wake. It is now he who slaughters, he who burns and he knows in his heart that he must pay"
The scene ends on this video, but it goes a little longer actually.
Liz says that the farmer couldn't help it and Red responds with: "Maybe you're right. Maybe he could change. Maybe he is not damaged beyond repair, maybe he can make amends for all the people he's hurt so terribly.... or maybe not" And with these words he kills the stewmaker.
I believe that Red refers to himself, how he realized that he is killing and hurting humans and how broken these years of revenge have made him.
But he also realized, that he himself "is damaged beyond repair" and that he could never change. That's why he kills the stewmaker; he can't change what he has become, or so he believes.
What fits to my theory are two things: one is that Red doesn't see himself as the good guy, he *knows* what he does is wrong and doesn't defend it.
Also, in this episode there was the strong implication that his daughter was killed by the stewmaker himself, as he searches through the memorial book and takes out the photo of a young girl.
It seems like his blacklist he has is the list of many criminals who personally have a history with him in a negative way, who hurt people he knows and loves. But he also says that the list isn't about revenge alone, so I do believe that this is his way to pay amends for all the "people he hurt so horribly"
I have to say that I just watched the first season until now, so I don't know too much about his backstory at all, that was just guessed. :)
@Kappa No, not yet... and I appreciate very much the spoiler warning you give :D
Though I am so curious, I really want to read the spoiler, but I think I will watch instead the series and come back to your comment later at one point.
Have a good evening :)
@Kappa Yes, it's the same for me, sometimes people just talk about the ending or death of a character and I'm like... (╯°□°)╯ *Why did you tell me this?*
:D
@@Magrat_Knoblauch That was a great analysis. However, I must ask, now that you've watched more of the series over the past year, has your perspective changed at all?
🤡
you can tell he was forgetting his lines
Not quite. His pauses indicate that he is in pain. Thus, the story is personal
he was not. its the acting, watch the video : ruclips.net/video/8ysYAqn_gBw/видео.html
Lol what the fuck
No ya dummy it’s called acting
The Pauses keeps you in suspense
