You’re just a tourist in a world that for all you know could be entirely fictional. Everything from World War Two to Elizabeth Bathory to man creating fire, these aren’t things you witnessed, they’re all just hearsay on a the tiny timeline of your ticking clock, your rotting body.

“I’m saying that your life is essentially one long series of assumptions based on things you’re told by other intelligences. “Now what in the hell are you goin’ on about-” “Spelled out in what, some subjective series of tangibles? What makes them more valuable than intangibles? You see a footprint in the woods and you assume a man was there, when for all you know it could’ve just been one shoe hopping.” “Ah jesus Rust it ain’t assumin’ anything if A is spelled out in the evidence-”
“Yeah but to do that you have to assume A. You follow A to B and then you go looking for C-” “How do I know what happened? How do you know what happened?” You just flavor it up with beef jerky and you can make literally anything sound profound. The formula for his monologues is “ordinary = extraordinary.” Ask questions you don’t answer and that don’t actually function in the realm of human experience, and ask them in a patronizing way that elucidates the vagueries of the universe. Landis’ concept of the character is based from a writer’s point of view, about how “easy” it is to create an engaging conversation with a character like Rust Cohle… The other piece is a more heavy piece titled “Ask a Philosopher: What’s Up With True Detective’s Rust Cohle?” by Matt Patches on Vulture. The first one is a note by a writer and screenwriter, Max Landis (Chronicle, American Ultra, Victor Frankenstein), who describe the process of writing a monologue for a character like Rust Cohle as “fun and easy”. I found 2 very appealing writing piece on this matter. My second run with season 1 of True Detective helped me a lot in understanding the complexity of Cohle and Hart’s combination (since I don’t speak english as my first language, or read any philosophical book for that matter) and further tickle me to really found out about this one question that lingered in my head after that second viewing “does what Rust Cohle rambling about is actually a profound concept of existentialism or just a never ending verbose of an mentally agonised man?”

Wether it’s true or false, I think most of us agree that the first season of True Detective is one the best drama ever written for TV screen, and Rust Cohle, is a very intriguing character ever written.įorget about the hugely disappointing season 2 of this show, for all I know after finished with season 2, all I wanted to do was re-watch the whole season 1 in order to be reminded of how good this show originally (so, that’s still a pretty good outcome). He’s also known as a Masculine-driven writer who can’t take criticism and don’t really work well with others. He’s well known as a brilliant writer with a pretty good list of prestigious awards. Nic Pizzolato has write many short story, novel and screenplay.
