Describing a Rust just tells you what he did and why he did it; while discussing a Rust, you also need to tell you that this is an ultimate character, and a certain type of character is necessary and reasonable in someone's worldview an ultimate self. Rust is such a role.
In such a worldview, the ultimate detective should be an outlier, a taciturn, a loner, one who sees through religion and politics, one whose daily life is occupied by work, one who is not lustful, one who has no furniture in the room, who is in order to investigate When the truth comes out, you can take risks and do not make any invalid promises. . . Such a symbolic image of Rust has similarities with other similar ones such as Polo and Formo, but also has obvious differences. The commonality is that they are all idealized characters; the difference is that Rust represents the ultimate self of this type of character in a worldview, the purest and most representative image that it should have. The image of the character is like the real Son of Heaven in the screenwriter's worldview, it must be him, it is him. In terms of inevitability and rationality, such an image is more realistic rather than idealized.
As a supporting role, Marty is undoubtedly a clear-cut, flesh-and-blood character. But being a detective lacks Rust's ultimate qualities. Seemingly slick, likable, and somewhat genuine in life, he ended up with a broken family and a bleak career. Marty's biggest problem is that she wants to be a good detective, and she wants to be a good husband, father, and lover, but she doesn't understand that you can't have both. Rust is better. After four years of undercover, he simply gave up his pursuit of family and career from the beginning. On the surface, he lived a miserable life, but secretly he was practicing his mission step by step. No wonder Marty's wife admitted that the more she lived, the more she felt that Rust's preaching did make sense. The more you want to do well in all aspects, the more you must do badly in all aspects; the more you want to get all the benefits, the more you will be empty.
Because it is impossible to have both, it can only be true. That's why it's called "True Detective".
Unsurprisingly, season two will be another version of Rust.
