And then I woke up

Holy shit, you walked out of the theater when the movie ended? What an absolute mad lad.

It's a reference to The Road, another one of McCarthy's works. In The Road, the father frequently tells his son that they're "carrying the fire", by which he means their will to struggle and survive, and their ability to retain their humanity, in a world populated with vicious bandits. The final dream is also about a father and son, with the father carrying "the fire", an image that, to the Sheriff represents an idealized vision of the past, which can keep away the dark and cold: the world he finds himself in. His dad died much earlier than he did; his passage through this world was much shorter, leaving his son to find his own way in a country that isn't for old men.

TLDR: It's Cormac McCarthy subliminally telling you to buy more of his books.

The Tommy Lee Jones speeches which bookend this film are incredibly important to its subtext and overall message. No surprise that none of you brainlets actually understood their significance. You literally only like this film for the epic Chigurgh memes, right? Aqua, por favor? Haha. Wow, what a hoot. Kill yourselves.

lmfao you really showed them

they never will, ever. it was a different time.

>Finally, I have become no country for old men

>His dad died much earlier than he did; his passage through this world was much shorter,
He says his father was "the younger man", on account of his dying before him. His father passing him is his reflection on aging; his physical and mental decline, and his inability to keep up with the world around him.

I still don't understand this scene

If you believe this then you missed the whole point of the movie. Life has always been shitty and rough and brutal. As we age we cast off our reckless youths and begin to perceive the world as a more dangerous place. The movie is about him coming to terms with his age and the inherent brutality of the world.

>implying zoomers don't cope with brutality by cutting off their balls and sucking black cocks

Exactly.

What he was talking in the end about his dreams was about his own death. Facing the fact that he was old and he didn't have much time left.

How to fix No Country for Old Men

>instead of dyng off screen, Moss gets into a 15 minute bloody shoot-off with Chigurh
>It has explosions, machine guns, and a car chase
>Shoot off ends with a hand-to-hand fight scene with Moss and Chigurh at a meat packing plant
>Chigurh dies by falling in a giant meat grinder
>before Chigurh falls in, Moss says "It's time to MEAT your maker, bitch!"
>Moss runs away with his bitch and lives happier after ever
>as they walk away, a bloody hand rises from the grinder and cuts to "The End?" plastered across the screen which is written in blood of course.
>No ending scene with the sheriff with his nonsensical pretentious dream

he woke up because he was dehydrated

Fuck, just reading this pissed me off

no joke, most of this is how the original draft of Cormac McCarthy's story was supposed to go. It was going to have a big Hollywood shootout between Chigurh and Moss + Bell with Chigurh dying and the good guys winning.

>Movie is literally called No Country for Old Men

He knows that he can't keep up anymore. He's pretty much saying, "I'm getting too old for this"

The father and son stuff is him and his father. While the fire represents the title as sheriff. His father is also the "younger man" because his father died young. He's outlived his father but knows that his "Fire" can't keep up with the violent world around him.

Cowboys learned a trick from the Indians. You load up a hollowed-out bull's horn with grass and drop in an ember from your fire, seal the end of the horn, and you can carry it to your next camp. The horn acts as insulation and glows in the dark. In this way you can carry fire around with you. It represents the continuity of the light of civilization against the darkness of the wilderness.

>not talking about McCarthy's best novel

Literally unfilmable.

Unless someone with balls of steel can film the scene with the town massacred and babies being killed, it would lose it's meaning.

He was talking about No Country For Old Men

cast the judge

>doesn't post Outer Dark
What is it like having the taste of a plebeian?

It’s a meme you dip

"And then i woke up..., it truly was a No Country for Old Men."
>camera zooms out, see house and mountains, black clouds forming with small lightning flashes.
>blinking lights descending. Its a tie-fighter. Star wars emperor theme plays 5 seconds + pan camera to stars and black screen, credits roll in silence
