I get what you're saying. If we look at Rust's philosophy of life and overall demeanor, he acted 100% out of character. Take a step back, for a misanthrope its kind of weird how Rust chose a "heroic" career to purse. He even chose to work in a department some would call the most important and most praised, homicide. Rust routinely puts his life on the line to save other walking sacks of meat. He continues pursing a killer(s) even after it costs everything, a decade later. Rust dont love these hoes yet he cuffed two, married one.
Maybe Rust is frontin. It sounds like Rust puts all a wall around himself so he doesnt get hurt by the world. All that (Humanity is a vain collection of meat) talk makes all kind of sense but maybe Rust doesnt want it to be true. It sounds like Rust puts all a wall around himself so he doesnt get hurt by the world.
When Rust smashed Marty's wife, he was one of at the lowest points in his life. Then some milf walks in whispering sweet nothings and kissing his neck. Rust opened up and got shytted on after that hoe told him she didnt give a fukk about him.
You make some good observations. I can appreciate this post.
