Rust doesn’t even try to solve his problems, he’s faced with the inevitable of the tragedy of his existence, and the inevitability that it will disappoint. He needs to meet some real Christians-who aren’t motivated by fear. He needs to overcome his deep cynicism, and Jesus is the antidote for him. He needs to find some faith, to pray, to reflect. Rust channels varying philosophers throughout the show, but the angst of Kierkegaard that he can’t heal through a leap of faith is his greatest struggle. And that little boy and that little girl, they’re gonna be in that room again and again and again forever.” Someone once told me, ‘Time is a flat circle.’ Everything we’ve ever done or will do, we’re gonna do over and over and over again. “This is a world where nothing is solved. (It seems like Christians are so rarely honored in televisions-then again, if you look around at our actions, it might be justified.) And not surprisingly, it is those with faith that surround the story’s central murder.
So frustratingly certain of his own philosophies, despite his jaded past and continued bad habits in the present, Rust rips into those with faith. His words on faith are even more offensive. “If the only thing keeping a person decent is the expectation of divine reward then, brother, that person is a piece of shit.” He’s hard to relate to, but somehow the audience is still compelled. (Let alone created.) Rust’s viewpoint is so negative, and so nihilistic, it’s clear that the pain he’s experienced is plunged him into his abyss. Humans, whom Rust calls ‘sentient meat’ are a big mistake. “I think human consciousness, is a tragic misstep in evolution… Maybe the honorable thing for our species to do is deny our programming, stop reproducing, walk hand in hand into extinction, one last midnight – brothers and sisters opting out of a raw deal.” Rust’s existential crisis plummets him deep into a dark trench.Ī few of Rust’s darker quotations (thanks IGN): Rust has experienced a death of his daughter, a divorce, and has developed a deep philosophical nihilism as a result. Marty is a drinking, cheating cop who is trying to maintain his family life, but seems to be pull it apart with many of his ill-thought choices. They are two polar opposites in terms of worldview and lifestyle, but most of the time lead not surprisingly empty lives. The plot itself is captivating as many mysteries are, but perhaps more intriguing than the plot is the dynamic between Marty and Rust. I’m amazed that in this day-in-age, True Detective actually offers a story of hope, faith, and conversion.
It documents their accounts of the case as new interest develop when two homicide detectives think that Marty and Rust didn’t find the right killer. The show is an anthology, and its first story follows the murder case of Dorothy Lange and Rust Cohle and his-then partner’s, Marty Hart (Woody Harrelson) attempt to solve it. He’s one of the main chracters on HBO’s newest drama: True Detective.
As if we didn’t need more nihilism in our lives, many of us got introduced to Rust Cohle (Matthew McConaughey) a few months ago.
