The Josh Brolin part was so abrupt.
DoodleBobForReal
It's one weird trip of a film.
tehmeisterer
I felt that way too and now it's far and away my favorite movie.
AR10
Hardly anyone wins in their movies. I thought he was going to kick ass and keep the money.
zeiji
did you notice the no music making a huge impact on the mood of it ?
darklanser
If the rule you followed brought you to this, of what use was the rule?
MetalRearSolidVThePhantomPeen
From what I read online, the title of the film/book is very representative of the prominent themes. But that's just the tip of the iceberg.

My Reaction When After Watching

Should have been MRW I finished watching...

Poor guy looks lost.

It was so good! It was so well done! Had to do lots of reading afterward to understand everything though!
ASideOfRice
Try and view it from Tommy Lee Jones' character rather than Brolin or Bardem. It takes at least 3 watches to fully appreciate, I think.
ASideOfRice
Little things matter as much as the big. Anton missing the bird, the car crash, and especially the coin. One of my favorites.
dumpsterjedi1
The irony of that gif though.
texasjimmy
You need to call it. I can't call it for you. It wouldn't be fair
RobMx80
It's kind of like he's saying...This ain't no country for old men like me. Because it's violent and beyond his level of understanding.
TysonGoesOutside
Yea I liked it. To me it was... the world is changing and I don't understand it. He was old fashioned then he got old so he's 2 gens behind.

My reaction when after watching no country for old men. Syntax fucking matters dylan!!

I had to analyze and annotate the book and it was just too good. The movie cinematography and acting were perfect

Obviously you have not seen The Road

Great film

Better book. Cormac McCarthy

Love the Coen Bros, but often feel like this with their stuff
aFadingMemory
I always have to watch twice close together. A serious man was one of the most rewarding films to do that with. And Hail Caesar.
MrAwful
Me too. Ah, the Coen Brothers, given us the ol' you-think-there'll-be-a-main-course-but-it's-really-just-a-bunch-of-appetizersaroo.
Uhhnoisaiddonttouchme
Fun fact, there is no music in the entire movie.
ThefluteCaptainPicardplayedfirstinhisimaginationtheninreallife
That is fun.
Allisrevealed
...except the mariachi.
Wasindear
Fun fact, there are no speech marks in the entire book
lingusthecunning
There is diegetic music.
bajeezus
Vocab word of the day.
idonttypegoodly
Diegetic Sound whose source is visible on the screen or whose source is implied 2 b present by the action of the film: voices of characters
aFadingMemory
SNL did as amazing parody on the milkshake thing. Bill Hader at his finest.
euphoniousmonk
The milkshake thing was There Will be Blood, not No Country for Old Men.
aFadingMemory
Ah yea. But the skit had both.

TheLastGunslinger
Didn't like it?
boiledpeanut
Loved it. Wanted more.
TheLastGunslinger
Far as McCarthy adaptations go, the Road is pretty good. His novels are something else.
TexanSailor
Fingers crossed for a blood meridian movie one day.
TheLastGunslinger
You're in luck. Last I read, the talented James Franco was working on it.
TexanSailor
Pretty sure that project was scrapped a few years back.
halfthefactsbutallthefury
It wasnt a story of good vs evil. Think of it more in terms of greed and despair.
Jameszombob
It was an anti-western.
ToastDNA
And homicide for the sake of murder

And the versatility of captive bolt guns

And why you don't sit on a bed fully exposed in front of a door if you think someone is coming to kill you! This isn't fucking Kill Bill!
WellThatsLikeYourOpinonMan
And the duality of man
erischilde
More like, inevitability and fate.
SecretlyCaleb
The inevitably of retirement is a big theme for sure
DVSBSTrD
Not so much inevitability as it is people being fucking idiots.

aFadingMemory
YES. Biting of more than you can chew.

1) I think we've all fantasizes about the duffle bag full of cash. And thought of the bad things it would mean happened.
nclu
2) the movie asked "when would you know to walk away? And what if it was too late before it even started?"
