understand that a resolution means being resolved
a solution
an answer

the closest you are coming is possibly and faintly and quite weakly determining
through conjecture

the writer didn't do his job
and you are trying to for him

so on the one hand folks are getting reprimanded for reading too deeply into some things
but on the other hand you have a writer who uses red herrings like a crutch leading people in all sorts of zany directions mystical and otherwise

what we have below are the straight red herrings non mystical
and no those arent answers
those are not resolutions

>>- Marty's daughter(s) and the clear trauma they went through
>
>They're moving on in their lives. The older one still
>struggles, but the younger one's life is together. They even
>hint at the possibility of reconciliation.

ie nothing has changed from when they were first introduced
the appearance of what was hinted at
and no depth given

unresolved


>>- Dora' knowledge of the yellow king and her rantings
>
>We know how she knew the Yellow King and Carcosa-- she met
>LeDoux through her boyfriend. She then, like others, was
>heavily drugged into submission.

you guess
what drugs?
you guess
this still does not address her comments on the yellow king and why nor how

no resolution

>>- rust us really resolved regarding his own family knowing
>>that cabal of men are still out there? Not only that but
>>optimistic because they caught only one guy?



>This was primarily due to his experience in the coma. Not to
>mention the fact that all involved (Errol, LeDoux, his
>brother, the reverend, Sheriff Childress) but the politician
>are dead, everyone else with their hands dirty were basically
>following orders. Regarding catching the politician, they
>failed--- but failure is still resolution.


what?
no
yet again no resolution


>>- that rigmarole on the boat
>
>That was very cleanly resolved. Dude made empty threats to
>Rust, but when he saw a Rust wasn't joking about the sniper,
>he shit himself. He won't be doing shit.


>>- the rigmarole in the projects
>
>I don't know what resolution you want there. Consequences for
>Rust? No authority figures know he was there. The one biker
>guy who does know him doesn't know his real identity, and
>since Rust went off the radar and changed his appearance over
>the decades, I don't know what conclusion was wanted.

again distractions that didn't move the plot forward in any way
interesting well shot well acted
not well written

the problem is yall want this to be deeper than it is
i'm taking the writer now at his word
he was not deep in this
he was not using nuance
he had no layers to his work
he did not use everything most of everything he layed down
