Actor Matthew McConaughey Talks HBO's True Detective - 6/22/16

[@asheriko26]

Mathew's finest work ever - never really thought he could act like that

[@Gorlami90]

asheriko26 He was also good In Dallas buyers club, n actually won more awards for that movie than he did for True Detective

[@NostalgicMem0ries]

that stupid cancer role was nothing special, good but not as masterpiece as rust

[@righttoleftrepeat]

I believe what Matt Mc said though, that it was almost a no-acting-required thing because the beauty of Rust’s character was all in his dialogue. But he sure damn understood how he couldn’t let his actor-ego interfere and for that he should be praised just as much as the writing.

[@klorglork6917]

Yea that part where he talks about his daughters death is A++ stuff

[@felixshengyang]

He was better in the wolf of wallstreet. Just kidding

[@TheTeamOden]

Season 1 was the greatest television I`ve ever seen. Better than the Wire and better than any Game of Thrones season.

[@UnbelievabIeMontages]

say that to season 5 episode 9 of game of thrones, season 1 never touches that

[@Shige2213]

got is a great spectacle, but the writing of season 1 TD is untouchable

[@ArnaudFTW]

Agreed. True detective season 1 is the GOAT of TV. Nothing can even come close.

[@ArnaudFTW]

Bitch please s6e9 of got was aight but not game changing. The hype for this show is unreal. Danny is a piss poor character, very shallow and poorly written in the show. Ramsey is 10 ten times worse. One dimensional as hell, not to mention in one episode he kills 20 ironborns shirtless and in this episode he somehow forgot how to fight? Jon Snow is brought back to life and nothing is different about him. He's just back. Lazy writing. The battle itself was cool to watch but you can't compare the two.

[@UnbelievabIeMontages]

Fark season 6 episode 9 is way better than the whole true detective season 1, you are forgetting all the other aspects of cinema, of course the writing may be better on paper, but it isn't well executed on screen. season 1 has pacing problems, editing problems, and character development as a whole. sure the show focuses mostly on two main characters, but game of thrones is able to capture EVERY character and develop them. Jon Snow came back as a changed man, i don't know what you are talking about. He came back brutal and killed all those traitors.

[@lanlodger]

Easily one of the best characters on television. Would pay for good money to see Rust on my television screen again.

[@gonzolonzo1383]

They should do a season set during the period of time where Rust was in Alaska. Like there would be different actors playing the cops and being the main characters, then Rust is kind of like a side character that's consulted like twice throughout the season

[@ZERMELOmusic]

I don't care how much he wants to downplay himself, his execution of that character was genius.

[@brianlinville439]

your right of course, it was great. Gimme 2 guys like Woody and Matthew , as friends and i'd have it made. I would like to teach them Zen though.

[@n0denz]

Nothing like True Detective will ever exist again. It is a work of art, and McConaghey is a savant. Also, as much as I love Rust and Marty, I don't think they should return. The first season is a journey, not only involving the case but also the characters, and at the end of the season, that journey has been completed; there is real resolution. If the pair were to be thrust into a new case, I think it would diminish the weight and importance of the first season.

[@nshu8935]

Who is Savant?

[@stevetwids709]

I 100% agree. It was the most amazing series I have ever seen. From Ep1 I was hooked. Must watch it again. Should be left alone now as a stand out piece of art. No return 🤞

Season 1 of True Detectives is the greatest show of all time. Great acting, great story, what a masterpiece.

[@hugh-johnfleming289]

One of THE greatest things ever committed to film.

[@nyteflex7530]

He's a Christian man who manages to play the most convincing, sceptic, elitist atheist. I agreed so much with the characters viewpoints, I was shocked when I realized he was actually a southern Christian in real life. The character is perhaps one of the best written characters of all time, and Matthew is just icing on the cake. TLDR: Rust and Matthew are polar opposites, yet both are aligned in harmony in the show.

[@duderama6750]

A christian in Hollywood is like a virgin in a whorehouse. Popular for all the wrong reasons.

[@rottensquid]

Well, I think he sensed that the character was more than the summation of his professed beliefs, or lack of beliefs. They say every cynic is secretly a disappointed romantic. Rustin wasn't really a non-believer, he was angry. "God," if you will, wounded him beyond healing, and he wanted to hurt God back, and the only way to do that he could think of was to not believe. Not in God, not in humanity, not in any kind of meaning. But at the end of his story, he finally found meaning again, after letting go of what he thought of as himself. Because beyond his identity, beyond his pain and the memory of his lost loved ones, love was still there. I think McConaughey could get behind that. Something that the show's writer said in an interview is that there's no such thing as opposites, only symmetry. I think that applies here.

[@daniellehallihan5695]

I'm an atheist and I just love rust obvs, and i just pretend MM isn't a good old boy southern christian bc it hurts my heart. So I'm happy to just bury my head in the sand and just enjoy the gift that is rust cohle.

[@flangmasterj]

Just finished watching season one for possibly the twelfth time and it's still as mesmerizing and engrossing as it was when I saw it back in 2014. McConaughey's Rustin Cohle is easily one of the greatest characters ever to grace the screen. He was something else.

[@jaroslavbelohlavek2138]

Second series is heavily underrated. I mean it. For me it is a solid 7 maybe even 8. It is still superior to most of other quality series. The mistakes made in the second series were already present in the first one. Only because the case was focused on catching a serial killer it hold its copmosure. Biggest mistakes of the second one? Slow start and too much exposition through dialuge. This was present in the first series too. But because we always had the epicenter of the hunted murderrer we didnt have to care for complicated plot and the trillions of names. Second season is much more original take on the detective genre. First one is mostly a mediocre pulp story. The name true detective comes from pulp magazines look it up. Second season is much more a noirish investigation with the undefeatable conspiracy that ultimately deafets the heroes. And I don't know. Watching the 7th episode there is really no scene wasted everything is used properly and everything matters. However I believe that Nic had spread himself too thin with four main characters. They weren't unnecessary. All of them mattered and I loved the quick cuts between them in the 7th episode. I just thing that it was a much bigger challange then the first and ultimately too big of a bite. If the story had centered on the stolen diamonds from the beggining as the first series focused on the murders it would be much more tight and understandable. The story is there. The heavy atmosphere is there. It just is not perfectly executed as the first series was.

While Fukunaga's absence was definitely noticed in Season 2. Season 2 was not of the same quality entireley because it was missing Carey F. It was mostly because Nic was rushed by HBO president Michael Lombardo to push out a script in a few months , where, with season 1 Nic was working on, and bouncing around ideas since college/for the better part of a decade.

[@nathancarvell3230]

That’s just who he appeared to be or thought himself to be. You can see his pain and addictions of booze/cigarettes. He also is so invested in being that hand of justice because he knows pain so well, and understands it in other people. You’ve gotta be an empath almost to be able to read people the way he did as well.

[@DemitriX.]

I disagree, Rust had feeling, had sensation, but he interpreted it just different than Marty, an obvious example to highlight is Rust says he can taste colors, its something called Synesthesia, Rust to me was just on a different wavelength of interpreting reality and what was real and what wasn't from his pov is up to interpretation.

Kieran Keddo-Powell man...imagine the experiences that made Rust adopt such a philosophy. Maybe even starting with his daughter's death. End the show on a bleak note. Last scene: Cohle's last days in Alaska, prepping his return to Louisiana to pay his debt.

I wrote that for a project in college. “The Adventures of Rustin Cohle”.

[@futavadumnezo]

A prequel to his story

[@yomayne27]

That performance made me a McConaughey fan. Greatest performance I personally have ever seen

[@SaucySoviet]

Season 2 didn't bring anything to the table. Season 1, that was spectacular television. Honestly, one of the best.

[@DillanStevens-p6u]

I just finished season 1 and my lord I haven’t seen anything this perfect since breaking bad . I wish the other two seasons were still the same characters. Woody was also phenomenal in this .

[@dufung3980]

Rust would call watching sports mentally sterilizing herd behavior, a desperate grasp at acceptance. He would be right.

[@thebadaids]

Du Fung Bet you’re great at parties, fucking nerd.

[@theyeking7023]

He ain't great outside of parties either.

[@reddd-77]

Du Fung yes,bcus u surely know how he would be in rl.

[@SVTStrikesback]

I would agree with you on some level. The thing is, that’s probably how most people get INTO some sports. But, at least for football, once you understand all the positions and how all the roles interconnect and can appreciate what it takes to work together to make some plays work, it really can be interesting as well as exciting. Unless you like the Cowboys...

[@jumbo4billion]

So you're saying that anyone who enjoys watching a good game of ping pong on tv at home is grasping for acceptance? Pretending that a fictional character shares your snobbery isn't helping you at all. Go outside and chuck a frisbee around, it's fun!

[@timb7257]

Why is such brilliant content such as this disregarded? One of the best things ever...

[@americalost5100]

McConaughey's acting in this series was a gift of to all us viewers... a character to remember... thank you thank you thank you Would love to have heard thoughts about the long one take no cut biker "robbery" scene... totally far our.

[@ironcrusader728]

IMO The most intriguing character in television history.

[@RoadtoNowhere73]

Best tv detective show ever

[@geronimoagarraspito5174]

Before I found true detective I was obsessed with no country for old man, now I can't stop watching season 1 😬. A master piece .
