out of the six stories told i think only one ends on a somewhat positive note.

but, damn, are the Cohen Brother's masters at creating memorable characters.

the one with Tom Waits ended on a positive note

the one with all the people in the coach ended on a kinda neutral note

buster scruggs' story and the one with james franco were too cartoonish to actually be depressing imo

but the oher two... yeah they were dark

i kinda got the impression that hotel was purgatory? or maybe even hell? the knockers on the front door were an angel and Baphomet.

Buster's definitely but Fraco's was abrupt and still kinda dark imo. dude thinks he's rescued but he goes right back into the fire. then he sees a pretty girl and BAM, dead. but the bank employee was fucking hilarious.

The movie was tryna make Buster look like a dumb fuck but he's got pretty good survival and instinctive skills, and he knows how to use a gun.

I read Buster as being an analogy for the US

a dumbass instigator who shoots opponents before the fight even starts
