Current Events > No Country for Old Men is a perfect movie

(+) Yeah! (+)

Not saying its the best or even my favorite, but it is without flaws.

---

It's fantastic for sure

---

i cannot disagree
the novel is a 10/10 too
you can't go wrong with cormac mccarthy material, basically

---

Hmm... I mean it's good, but I don't like the part where the hero didn't ride off into the sunset with his galpal after defeating the villain, while a chorus played.

not enough white hats tbqh

I've watched it a two or three times.

It has been a few years, and I've rekindled my love of good movies recently. So I'm interested in rewatching, but I bought my wife the book. She wants to read it before we watch the movie, as she hasn't seen it before...taking too long though lol

---

Most satisfying ending ever

---

Yeah, but I didnt like the message

---

I wish I could recommend this movie to more people but the ones around me simply don't appreciate any western, much less a subversion of the genre. I know NCFOM isn't a western in the traditional sense

Unforgiven is another good one
---

been a long time but i remember it had bad pacing.

---

I think A Serious Man and Inside Llewyn Davis are better Coen films. Fargo and Lebowski, too.

---

I liked it when I first saw it years back but if I recall correctly There Will be Blood released around the same time and I was obsessed with that movie for years

Both of these are gems for me

Great movie.

Ultra try-hard philosophical movie. I love watching nerds try hard to dissect every little detail from movies like this. It makes me feel like a normie when compared.

---

yep

---

its pretty good. I'm sure a bunch of it went over my head cause I never read any analysis of it

unforgiven is my favorite movie of all time

I'm still hoping and praying Blood Meridian gets a theatrical release. Part of its greatness is the writing itself, sure, but it's such a bleak novel that I think it could translate great to film (if the Coens did it...)

I dont like heavy analysis of art, art is about how it makes you feel when you consume it.

the big problem here is who plays the Judge.

I disagree, but I can't say your opinion is wrong. You really can't go wrong with Coen bros movies. My personal favorite is O Brother Where Art Thou. Had the greatest movie soundtrack ever until Llewyn Davis came out.

Their best movie is the Cowboy movie.

Funny that you call others nerds when you have a DBZ username.

Solid movie. Sicario is better though.

Random, but is it me or does he look like Jeffrey Dean Morgan?

---

I rewatch the gas station scene pretty often. That one scene is masterful.

Is the antagonist supposed to be an appealing character that watchers/readers sympathize with. I think by the end of the film you sort of rooting for him.
---

It's definitely in my top 5. Just a superb movie.

Josh Brolin and Tommy Lee Jones were pretty good but Javier Bardim definitely stole the show as that psychotic hitman! dude's performance gave me the chills! lol

Fun fact. Javier Bardem's uncle, Juan Antonio Bardem, was one of the most acclaimed filmmakers of fascist Spain, often making films with subtle (out of necessity) critiques of society.

---

I love it. It's in my top five over the past 40 years, and easily best since 2000 for me.

---

The motel street shootout scene was amazing.

---

great movie.

I enjoyed the book, but the lack of punctuation made it really difficult to follow along with sometimes.

I appreciated that one of the characters finally called out Chigurh on his philosophy, prompting him to respond "I got here the same way the coin did." Hmmm...
