Nietzsche once said, "When you look long into an
abyss, the abyss looks into you."
Darkness attracts Rust, and Rust causes its own destruction. As Rust said many years later, time is a plane where events happen forever, loop forever, and never stop.
2. In this era of serial killers' brutal scene plots, it is really rare to have such an ordinary but plump image. A policeman from a small town, his specialty is to maintain public relations, he is shallow and indifferent, pursues an ordinary life but is unwilling to be lonely, and spends his weekends with his father-in-law who can't talk to each other, his difficult wife, and his rebellious daughter...
There are no less places to be touched by ponies than by Rust. For example, when the older pony said in the narration that his biggest sin was not having an affair, but inattention, my heart sank for two seconds. Probably in life, everyone is more or less, at this time and then, such a 'pony'. In the chaotic world, ignorant is instilled something, trying to do something, wanting to get the answer to what question, and it is not clear whether there is such an answer in the world. Therefore, you can see that people are always paranoid about the pursuit of material or relationship, and frivolous destruction, and even can't tell what they want them to do. These poor fellows, just like you and me.
3. Although Rust seems to have his own answers, he is also struggling in his own life like a pony. They can't understand each other's three views at all, but they seem to be able to understand each other's pain to some extent. So, in fact, there is no essential difference between Rust and ponies. The inevitable pain of fucking life binds them together, makes them pinch and love each other. At the end, Rust's true feelings are touching, but the pony-like expression is equally soothing.
If the world was all Rust, then probably really everyone would go to death collectively, hand in hand, as he himself said. So probably Rusts just need a balance of pure cute ponies. Countless ponies said: There is light ahead. Numerous Rusts can stand up again, and with the help of the ponies, forget about darkness, death, and ethereal happiness, and take another two steps forward.
