I don't get it
I don't get it
And then I woke up.
The whole movie was just a dream.
I'm sure that monologue was really profound and probably offered some insight as to whatever the previous two hours were, but I zone out completely whenever Tommy Lee Jones starts talking
No one is in control of their own fate and we live in a nihilistic hellhole and should be content with it
The point of the movie is literally the title
It's in the title.
I saw this movie in theaters on acid with my friend.
The scene where he shoots the crow on the bridge made me cry laughing in the theater and everyone was pissed.
Movie was really fucking intense to see on hallucinogens.
I've rewatched it for the third time yesterday and felt the same. I zoned out at the end thinking "oh, I think this is Tommy Lee Jones ending the movie with a 2deep4u moment, cool movie thought."
zones out when one of the ultra kino actors monologues
Zoomer or total faggot?
Anton Chigurh is one of the funniest characters in cinema. Everything he says/does is hilarious and if you can't see that then you're low IQ.
I know it's gay but I quote him whenever someone asks me if there's something wrong.
There's nothing to get. It's nihilistic bullshit.
Does Josh Brolin have some sort of weird love/hate relationship with this movie? Right out of the gate he asks WHY Joe Rogan loves the movie so much, then immediately starts talking about how everyone thought it was going to be a piece of shit
Life has no meaning or intended design
Things often happen with no rhyme or reason
Divine justice eludes our reality
The only message is that there are no messages, only things that happen.
Having said all that you kinda have to get McCarthy's catholic doomerism to get the full idea, which is that everything happening now is on us, God is not with, but will be come judgement day. Until that day evil is free to occur.
What was the point of this character?
dopey future sheriff taking over for the old wise one
And then I woke up.
And so did the rest of the kinoplex.
my interpretation of the movie is that people think america is getting more and more violent but the reality is that it was forged in violence and was always this way. TLJ spends the whole movie throwing his hands up and saying "what is this place coming to?" then his uncle at the end tells him that his grandfather was killed just as senselessly by indians, shot on his porch for no apparent reason and left to die. the implication being that america has always been an incredibly violent place, all you can do is try to survive without losing your soul. TLJ's dream at the end was, i thought, a metaphor for all of this - his father, beset by a brutal storm, forging ahead and carrying fire, a phrase the book's author has previously used to describe maintaining one's inherent humanity
IIRC the coens wanted to cast his father but they accidentally cast him. that's got disaster written all over it
i remember a hot ones interview where josh brolin complained the cohen brothers making fun of him and treating him like a retard because he didn't understand their "ingenious script"
kek, beat me to it
oops wrong image
basically it was written by an atheist. that should clear everything up
Go away christcuck
that phrase is specifically taught as what you're NOT supposed to write as your last line in a story (because it trivializes the whole thing). And it's the last line in this film
the scene with the fat receptionist
kek
the dialogue is perfect, the only misstep at the end was cutting back to his dopey wife before cutting to black. should've held on TLJ until the credit drop
There is kind of a theme of subverting established expectations of what you're supposed to do writing a story.
Like how the main character dies offscreen to some mexican gangsters who weren't really even the antagonists
And then I woke up.
i literally walked out of the cinema after this line
he didn't stay for the post-credits scene where yellowstone erupts and it teases the road, setting up the McCU (mccarthy cinematic universe)
casual
Cohen bros films = quintessential "Well made" movies that are just incredibly dull to watch.
What a waste of good drugs.
No way? You mean those 2 jews are godless soulless people?
TLJ should have killed Shigger at the end. Shigger walks out of Lewelyn's wife's place, and all of the sudden SURPRISE MOTHERFUCKER, TLJ has a bazooka and blows up Shigger. The last shot is Shiggers coin landing on the ground.
I like how TLJ's character solves absolutely nothing and really doesn't even bother with the ghostly murderer killing his way through bumblefuck texas
he's an old man. It's no country for him
the movie is almost exactly beat for beat to the book , book was basically a screenplay
i understand completely. some buddies and i did acid and watched the matrix a couple years ago and i almost pissed myself laughing at the scene where the machines nearly find their ship the first time. there's a 3 second shot of neo ducking into the cockpit and going "squiddies?" that leveled me. the thought of keanu ducking under that door and saying the line like 10 times until they got the take they wanted was hilarious at the time
literally the point lol
sorta the point of the movie m8. TLJ is completely out of his depth and can't get ahead of this new, nihilstic brand of mayhem
No Country for Old Men except it's leagues better in every single way and actually entertaining
they really really wanted Heath Ledger and he was basically locked in and they had zero interest in Brolin until Ledger dropped out.
I think he might have took offense to not wanting him initially and making fun of his audition tape he made with Rodriguez and Tarantino. The movie got him an Oscar nom and they hired him again after so he can't bitch too much if he's bitter about anything
This is Scarface, final scene, fucking bazookas under each arm. say hello to my little friend!
Anyone of you who is an alkie and likes a good book should read Suttree by the same author of no country
No Country for Straight Men
Semen, semen, por favor!
I love hell or high water but you're a dick for this. They're on same level and no country is arguably superior for writing
Go to sleep Cormac
