my favorite movie of 2007.
For those who say Tommy Lee Jones' character had no place in the movie.,...um, the movie was about HIM, NOT Lewellyn or even Chiguhr. Think about his last words "then I woke up" he woke up from his dream, but also woke up to the realization he was getting too old for this shit. Pay really close attention to the talk he has with his uncle in the wheelchair. The man that was allowed to die on his porch while no one else seemed to care...it happened in 1909.
This movie also has an undercurrent of money being a corruptive force....think about the misery the money brought everyone it came in contact with. Then there are the college kids who will only give Lewellyn the jacket after he gives them money. Then there are the kids at the end who are just innocent minds who offer a man in need a shirt without the thought of money. Then he offers the kid a $100 and the corruption starts as they start arguing over the money.
