no country for old men stinks!!!!

everyone raves about this movie. Did anyone analyze it? Sugar (sp?) doesnt make any sense at all. If you consider all of his actions, and ask yourself, why is he doing that, there arent a lot of constants. Also, worst ending ever. Thats all i wanted to say :)

I think the ending was meant to emphasize the futility of all the violence and money chasing. As with life, nothing is ever really resolved, stuff happens and often there's no winner or vindication/justice.

Apparently it stayed true to the books ending? but I haven't read it.

I think fargo had the same themes (written by same guy - cormack mcarthy I think?) but still managed a satifying ending. I didn't feel satisfied by no country's ending though.

I think the sheriff's speech at the end was meant to be poignant but it didn't do it for me.

I liked the motion tracker scene a lot. Best motion tracker scene in a movie since 1986's Aliens.

And just like in Aliens, the following battle was pretty damn badass.

Yeah, the ending is exactly the same in the book. And I'm pretty sure Fargo was an original screenplay by the Coens

excuse me?

i freaking loved it, i put it on my top 10 best movies

Great movie. Didn't hear it about it at all then saw it at the drive in back to back with another movie and loved it.

I don't think it is overrated what so ever. It is just a good movie.

excuse me?

i find the movie incredibly boring.

and before you guys yell out "your just a typical person who likes guns and bloods and sex in their movie"

WRONG.

im a city of god/trainspotting/son of rambow/slumdog millionaire/wall E and all sorts of different kind of movies kinda person.

ive watched amazing movies, but this is not one of them. i literally walked out of the theatre after the main character died half way through.

why?

because it just was un-inviting. the movie was nothing big on dialogue,nothing much on the whole plot and mostly just a thriller with a few plot twists.

the movie was just plain akward and boring.

idk. maybe its just me.

excuse me?

Agreed as well, I loved the movie, one of my favorites.

I liked it but the ending left me feeling ":|."

it is on my "to watch" list, but i've never got around to it.N8A

Chiguhr. His actions are that of a psychopath (therefore won't make sense rationally). When he meets someone he believes them deserving to die and will kill them. If he questions this notion about someone he meets he will call on fate (flip of a coin) to decide if the person should die. To me he seemed that he was symbolic of fate and death(which cannot die or be stopped) , which is also why he lived at the end.

However, you have your opinion and I have mine. To each his/(her) own.

I loved the movie.

With that said, I cant really understand what specifically it is about. Even after reading the commentary and behind the scenes and stuff and hearing how the whole movie is actually ***SPOILER about Tommy Lee Jones' character END SPOLIER****, it still doesnt make much sense.

Its fun coming up with all the different possibilities though.

[QUOTE="vlin1108"][QUOTE="II_Seraphim_II"] I think the ending of the movie was meant to symbolize that the movie is worthless crap :?II_Seraphim_II

The Batman is more thought provoking than No Country for Old Men? Seriously now, The Batman? :lol:

No Country for Old Men is so deep I don't even understand the meaning of the film!!

I can't place my thoughts on the film... whenever I look at the plot line and the meanings behind it, I think that the film as a great message; but when I actually watched it, I was bored out of my mind.aliblabla2007

thats exactly my point! THE ONLY GOOD THING ABOUT THE MOVIE IS THE MESSAGE OF THE TITLE!!!! thats it!
