No Country for Old Men

[slimjimmed]

Anton is a cartoon villian to me. I could see him being released as a G.I Joe-sized action figure
with a miniature plastic air compressor to carry around. He could even have a little string that you
pull back that says, "Heads or Tails".

The "you cannot keep playing with fire" moral is obvious. I get the movie.

The movie doesn't have the depth of a layered poem that reveals itself upon further inspection. It is what it is; A tight, somber and violent heist film with an ending that reiterates everything you already know. The generalizations about the state of the world and evil were broad and uninsightful for me.

I just saw this, and I'm having a hard time deciding what was worse, the ending or the dialogue. If most of the conversations hadn't been pointless, I could have overlooked it. But the gas station scene was five minutes of back and forth, with nothing of substance.

Damn it Capt !

Let it sink in for a week and then come back; just let it absorb you.

And the gas station scene ? That is one of the more chilling scenes I've ever seen. The tension was incredible, just waiting for him to gank that dude.

Aghhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh

We obviously didn't watch the same movie.

One of the best scenes in the movie as far as I am concerned.

I'm not saying it wasn't good, just that there was more pointless dialogue than a Kevin Smith film. It just kind of dragged on in places, and the Gas Station scene was one of them. I was waiting for him to kill the guy too, if nothing else, just to end the "What do you need?" "What do you mean?" back and forth.
