Anyone see "No Country for Old Men"?
We rented this movie this weekend and I LOVED it, until the end. I just don't get it. He just get's away and that's it? The Sheriff retires before the case is solved?
I feel like I missed something but I've watched twice now and just don't get the ending.
Re: Anyone see "No Country for Old Men"?
yes and I loved it, even the end!
I think the point is... sometimes the bad guy wins. That is real life ya know? It isnt always the Hollywood ending where the bad guy gets caught and the good guy gets the girl... sometimes evil wins.
I felt I needed to think on the movie for a few days but I really liked it and appreciated that the Coen brothers surprised me.
I guess that's what I was thinking- but maybe I would have understood it more if they killed Tommy Lee Jones off too. The fact that he just retired at the end kinda left me up in the air.
Awesome movie though- one of the best "bad guys" I've seen in a movie in a long time, he gave me the chills.
yeah that oscar was definitely deserved!
as for TLJ... I dunno. His character was not a Jalvert type who is going to hunt this guy down until his dying day, and there is IRL always another bad guy... he made the choice tat there is more to life than becoming obsessed with an uncatchable bad guy. Again, I think that is reality. Every cop or detective cant dedicate their lives to every unsolved case. There is just more to life than that, and sometimes it is just not possible.
i am pretty certain the wife died. I think that from what we know of Javier's character, there is no other option.
I like a movie that makes me think, challenges the norms, and surprises me. This one did all that. I tend not to like predictable movies, or ones that are formulaic... I liked that this was different and that it, IMO, was more 'real' since there are so so many crimes that go unsolved, criminals that go un-caught
Oh yeah- the wife died. We know this for 2 reasons...
1. He kills anyone that sees him. (Unless they agree to the coin toss and win)
2. He didn't like getting blood on his shoes- you see this in several scenes...so the fact that he checked his shoes when he leaves the house, tells you he shot her.
exactly. Only way to survive is the coin toss, if offered and won. She refused to play his game and leave her life up to chance so she was killed. He is a sociopath and had no choice but to kill her, regardless of what she said.
