    Just finally watching the "No country for old men"

    Haven't seen such a great piece of a hard boiled movie in a long time,

    Every dialogue fits, every actor fits, the whole plot is put together so well Sheakespear would be envious, like a chess game.

    I have 30 minutes to finish,

    Josh Brolin is way excellent in the leading role, Javier Bardem is the ultimate psycho, and Tommy Lee Jones just can't disappoint.

    Old school movie, built on dialogue and plot instead of effects and cheap hype.

              Oh man agreed, that movie was top notch. Josh Brolin did a great job with his character. I loved it when he walks into that boot shop with just a hospital smock on...LOL!!

                  You should have sent it my way instead. I liked the movie.

                      Yes at first the ending pissed me off but I actually like the movie.. It's become one of those movies I can watch anytime it comes on.

                      The best scene in the movie IMO is with the old guy in the gas station and the coin..

                      "Do you know what the date is on this coin?"

                      That entire scene is pretty damn deep. oh and LOL @ NoWhere's sig..

                              Great film, but I still think you're a used douchebag.

                                      The last 30 minutes were a total shift.

                                      I seriously think it's one of the best movies in a decade, probably the best movie from the Coen's

                                      Although they are one of the best movie makers in the decade or two.

                                      As I'm a huge fan of "Fargo" or "Millers' crossing"

                                      This was far beyond their style, far beyond a style of the genre, I wouldn't mind to call it a timeless masterpiece, and I saw it just once.

                                      I still have to set my mind straight about this movie, but it's a piece of art, will get more viewings in the future.

                                              When you said "30 minutes to finish", I thought you would come back and say it was the worst movie you ever saw.

                                                  I take it back. It was OK.

                                                  I only saw it once. In the theaters, and the commercials that got me to want to see the movie were way off. Maybe it's a good movie. Maybe all the pundits who suck each other's cocks and read way too much into shit while swallowing each other's bullshit are right. Who knows. Obviously, not me.
                                                  Your post count means nothing.

                                                      Too bad the movie was retarded and ended on an absolute nothing. it was like sitting through half of a weird dream and waking up too early.

                                                              it was a well made movie. everything was fantastic. other than the story itself. which made it all a big waste...

I've shown time and time again that I have terrible taste in movies? I didn't realize I had a following of haters picking apart my choice in movies here

But his novel was also popular and critically acclaimed, which explains why the Coens followed it closely.

                                                                                          - the taste for anti hero characters in their movies (like here the contrast of anyone from the "common" folks facing the killer, between the sheriff and his helper)

                                                                                          - their sense for absurdity and black, sometimes extremely violent sense of humor

                                                                                          - their movies are probably more realistic and down to earth than most viewers realize, although they sometimes do use a rather crazy way to put a story and don't always respect the "classic" plot
                                                                                          Last edited by CarlosTheGaucho; 04-25-2009, 11:26 PM.

                                                                                                                      Normally this would be the type of movie I'd like. Dark story lines and twisted humor are definitely my thing. I was actually excited for this movie. I'll say it was well directed, and the actors did a great job of portraying the characters the way they should have. In most technical aspects it was a well done film. That doesn't detract from the fact that it was just fucking stupid. Incredibly fucking stupid. The only scene in the movie I can remember that I actually found interesting was Anton's conversation with the old clerk in the gas station. The Coens did an amazing job directing the movie, but the story was just, meh. Maybe their adaptation for the screenplay took something away from the book, I dunno. Fact is, I found the story was bland, the events which took place were bland, and even the outcome of the movie was pretty bland. Just because you saw something different, does not mean you saw something good. Most good strange movies leave you deeply pondering some point, or asking a lot of questions. Not this one. The plot wasn't all that original, didn't really pack much substance to it. All there was to know is that some hillbilly found and wanted to keep a bunch of money, and there's a crazy sociopathic killer trying to kill him and take it back and killing everyone in his path. He kills him, kills the wife because he said he would. WOW, DEEP. The only question left out there was, who exactly is this guy supposed to be? and what's got him so hellbent crazy? No real tips or subtle insights to leave you asking real questions. Those two about sum it up.

                                                                                                                      The majority of the people who flocked to this movie are no better than those who flocked to your so called "McMovies". Most of the people talking it up know nothing more than this crazy guy with a strange pneumatic weapon was killing people, and lots of them without remorse. THAT'S LIKE SO WAY COOL! WE'RE SUCH INCREDIBLE FILM CONNOISSEURS FOR LOVING THIS WAY AWESOME WEIRD MOVIE! DIDN'T YOU HEAR ? SOME LIKE SUPER AWESOME DIRECTORS WHOSE NAME I DON'T REMEMBER DID IT, IT'S GOT TO BE GOOD!

                                                                                                                      Don't get me wrong, I really like the Coen brother's work, I just don't like this particular movie. I think they should stick to what they do best, this suit doesn't fit them so well in my opinion. I'm feeling like pulling out my Hudsucker Proxy VHS just to replenish my faith...

                                                                                                                      I wrote way too much when i could have just said one more time. The movie was stupid...

                                                                                                                              Normally this would be the type of movie I'd like. Dark story lines and twisted humor are definitely my thing. I was actually excited for this movie. I'll say it was well directed, and the actors did a great job of portraying the characters the way they should have. In most technical aspects it was a well done film. That doesn't detract from the fact that it was just fucking stupid. Incredibly fucking stupid. The only scene in the movie I can remember that I actually found interesting was Anton's conversation with the old clerk in the gas station. The Coens did an amazing job directing the movie, but the story was just, meh. Maybe their adaptation for the screenplay took something away from the book, I dunno. Fact is, I found the story was bland, the events which took place were bland, and even the outcome of the movie was pretty bland. Just because you saw something different, does not mean you saw something good. Most good strange movies leave you deeply pondering some point, or asking a lot of questions. Not this one. The plot wasn't all that original, didn't really pack much substance to it. All there was to know is that some hillbilly found and wanted to keep a bunch of money, and there's a crazy sociopathic killer trying to kill him and take it back and killing everyone in his path. He kills him, kills the wife because he said he would. WOW, DEEP. The only question left out there was, who exactly is this guy supposed to be? and what's got him so hellbent crazy? No real tips or subtle insights to leave you asking real questions. Those two about sum it up.

                                                                                                                              The majority of the people who flocked to this movie are no better than those who flocked to your so called "McMovies". Most of the people talking it up know nothing more than this crazy guy with a strange pneumatic weapon was killing people, and lots of them without remorse. THAT'S LIKE SO WAY COOL! WE'RE SUCH INCREDIBLE FILM CONNOISSEURS FOR LOVING THIS WAY AWESOME WEIRD MOVIE! DIDN'T YOU HEAR ? SOME LIKE SUPER AWESOME DIRECTORS WHOSE NAME I DON'T REMEMBER DID IT, IT'S GOT TO BE GOOD!

I think they should stick to what they do best, this suit doesn't fit them so well in my opinion. I'm feeling like pulling out my Hudsucker Proxy VHS just to replenish my faith...

                                                                                                                              I wrote way too much when i could have just said one more time. The movie was stupid...

You clearly don't see beneath the surface of anything. That was obvious from your first post in this thread. Film is a craft, the Coen brothers are brilliant craftsmen and No Country for Old Men is one of the most brilliantly crafted films of recent times. It's like a fine wine, to be appreciated and enjoyed sip by sip. If you wanna drink Bud lite fine but don't act all offended when people call you an unsophisticated redneck piece of shit.

You clearly don't see beneath the surface of anything. That was obvious from your first post in this thread. Film is a craft, the Coen brothers are brilliant craftsmen and No Country for Old Men is one of the most brilliantly crafted films of recent times. It's like a fine wine, to be appreciated and enjoyed sip by sip. If you wanna drink Bud lite fine but don't act all offended when people call you an unsophisticated redneck piece of shit.

I have my interpretation, the critics have theirs, the filmmakers have theirs. That's the thing about a film built from an original premise, it can be deconstructed and analysed in more than one way. If you're truly interested in what the film meant beyond a retarded recounting of the plot then go read some reviews. But you're not. You didn't like it because you didn't understand it. Fine. You probably don't understand much beyond the superficiality of films like Hannah Montana and the Fast and the Furious. But just because you didn't get anything out of it doesn't mean that others didn't.

I have my interpretation, the critics have theirs, the filmmakers have theirs. That's the thing about a film built from an original premise, it can be deconstructed and analysed in more than one way. If you're truly interested in what the film meant beyond a retarded recounting of the plot then go read some reviews. But you're not. You didn't like it because you didn't understand it. Fine. You probably don't understand much beyond the superficiality of films like Hannah Montana and the Fast and the Furious. But just because you didn't get anything out of it doesn't mean that others didn't.
                                                                                                                                                                          You're right, everyone interprets the movie in their own way. I have my interpretation of the movie's subtext too. It just happens that from what I gathered, I didn't find it all that profound. People applaud it as though it's a breakthrough in cinema and storytelling. It's not in my opinion. I think a great deal of it's popularity lies in the fact that the subtext IS easy to follow. Just about anyone with a pulse can read into it, therefore every feels important having "figured it out". You like to cast stones with your "You didn't like it because you didn't understand it." All I can strike back with is that I feel my understanding was pretty clear and that "You liked it because you felt important understanding it." Which I don't really feel is a huge accomplishment. Your spectacular intellectual understanding is as superficial as the special effects in Fast & the Furious. It was meant to be understood. You tell me I'm getting angry for you calling me stupid uneducated redneck swine, I'm essentially calling you the same thing here.

                                                                                                                                                                          Either side of the argument can talk big. If you liked the movie and it made you happy somehow, great. That's what movies are for. It didn't do the trick for me. All I had to say afterwards was "whatever."

                                                                                                                                                                              Watch the twisted mind of a killer as he plays with his potential prey
                                                                                                                                                                              Well I guess the Oscar for Javier Bardem was well, well deserved.

                                                                                                                                                                              I saw him in some Spanish movie long time ago, excellent actor, would never expect him being such a great villain though, the appearance (as I read on IMDB they chose the haircut according to a picture of some brothel patron from the wild west..), the voice, the intensity, the air pistol - excellent.

                                                                                                                                                                              Definitely one of the most intense villain characters in the movie history, time will confirm.
