It was stunningly bleak, darkly intimate and most of all HUMAN

That shyt was the ultimate if you :flabbynsick: n scared go to church:pachaha:

Retire and get the fukk off the pot, u ain't got the stomach for this shyt right here no more.

:demonic:
Tommy Lee was basically saying this at the end.

I. I'm old and retired. The fukk I look like chasing this man just to get shot. :heh:

The ending to this and Chris Pine telling Jeff Bridges that he with the shyts at the end of Hell and High Water was some good acting.

People constantly comparing No Country and There Will Be Blood never made sense to me because the only thing they have in common is the color scheme and that they came out in 2007

I don't know what criteria one could use to come to this conclusion.
movie has no climax and no ending. it just ends. what was it all leading to? Josh Brolin getting murdered by a bunch of random mexicans? Anton getting hit by car? Tommy Lee Jones bytching to his wife?

And now you're going to say "that's the point", and I'm here to tell you I don't care. ::camby:

You went into that movie expecting it to be like other movies you've seen in the past.

The lead character who was a piece of shyt would get a dramatic death or would get away having stolen the cartel money.

Someone would shoot chigur in the head or run him over, he'd die for killing all those innocent people for fun.

The police officer would retire and be happy.

Instead what you got was a documentary wrapped in fiction. In real life, bad guys do win and justice is more of an exception than a rule.

In reality, retiring isn't this fun party. You're old and directionless after spending nearly every day of your best years away from your home, friends and family for several hours at a time tolerating your job because it pays you but also gives you some semblance of value to the community and an identity. Now those things are gone and you're a weak, old man who can't keep up with the world changing around him and is powerless to do anything about it.

What made the movie a hit among the people that liked it was that they were tired of seeing movies where they knew where things were headed. They've seen enough movies where the psychopath gets killed, where the lead character no matter how flawed at least dies on screen. Where the old man is full of useful wisdom and guides a younger one to a meaningful future.

They walked in expecting some version of that and instead got something completely new and to them, it was refreshing and different. It's fine if it isn't for you, but the people that tend to like it, like it because it's new to them and found them at a time in their life where they wanted something like this movie but couldn't put it into words.

I hated the movie the first time i saw it partially because the way it was marketed, it was sold to us like some kind of action drama thriller. Instead it was a tearing down of the western. I saw it when it came out and walked out of that theater feeling like my time and money were wasted. Nearly 20 years later, I appreciate it more as a portrayal of what life is actually like rather than how I'd like it to be.
