No Country for Old Men

Whadya make of it? I thought it was hawt.

My interpretation:

So Anton Shigur (sp?) signifies the forces that have propelled the world to a point of no return. A world where men like Tommy Lee's character serve no purpose b/c evil overshadows the good by far.


No? Yes?

What else is there? Did I miss something?


The title is pretty self-explanatory.

I watched this movie about two weeks ago... It really effected me. No happy ending here. Which I find quite unique it has an IFC vibe to it. The main BAD guy was excellent at being sinister. GREAT ACTOR!

I like how your mind thinks. I was thinking of getting the book as well. I like to watch films twice, to catch the points I may have missed the first go 'round.

My mom said she saw that last weekend. She said the movie was a tad weird...

I was disappointed in this movie. Of course, I was drugged on pain meds because I watched two days after my surgery. But still it was hard to follow and didn't understand why it was titled such.

I think the Five Star Scene should go to the gamble with the old man at the gas station.


Or, nonono. Scratch that. The scene where he arrives to kill Norma Jean.

""What did you think about her choice to call him on his BS? If she would have kept quiet, she would have had a 50-50 chance of living. Of course that would have meant giving the power over to him and playing by his rules, which she was too proud to do. She was a stronger character than the gas attendant, but she paid a price for it. Do you think this may in some way represent feminism?""


Gee, I hadn't really considered that.


Let's see....


Oooh! I DID notice that during their exchange, it looked as if Chigur had tears in his eyes. Almost as if he didn't necessarily *want* to do what he did. To me it says that immorality has its place and purpose in this world. In its absence, we would all walk around, unappreciative and heedless fools. The gamble meaning that it is not a matter of choice, but balance. 'Cept in this movie, fate got outta control. Hence, the sheriff's farewell.

This scene with Anton and Carla Jean face-to-face, was the first time his character had ever revealed any emotion. So yes, perhaps it does symbolize the penetrating strength and power of womankind.

so wait, wait, wait....


....could Anton have been Fate? Fate himself?


or do you suppose my thinking cap is on a little too tight, and i've gone overboard? i'll try the next size up.

lol

Did I say Norma Jean when her name was actually Carla Jean? wow

Step out of your car, please.

First movie I've ever seen where the protagonist is killed off so... pathetically? Yes. Pathetically.
