No Country for Old Men

>Find a flaw
>Pro tip: you can't
There's a reason why No Country for Old Men is objectively a 10/10 film.

When the setting changes to the city, it changes the movie. The setting of no where in so much better

a shotgun suppressor isn't that quiet
checkmate

There was literally tons and tons of land for the old and young alike.

The ending would be better if the kids weren’t there to say “hey mister are you alright??”
That’s the best I’ve got

Not showing Llewellyn's death is and always will be a flaw. Saying "that's how it is in the book" is not a valid explanation. Film is a very different and visual medium. If you want to maintain a shocking or unexpected death there are various ways it could have been done. DiCaprio's final scene in The Departed is a perfect example of this.

Other than this the film is indeed perfect.

I want to know your opinion on it. Is it a horror film or not? I think it is. The killer is definitely a horror character

It was slow and boring kept fall asleep.

It's not There Will Be Blood?

what would it accomplish?
it was perfect the way it was. you saw him dead. it was supposed to be unceremonious.

The main bad guy has faggy hair, tommy lee jones rambles about gay ass dreams, the last third is boring as fuck, shall I go on?

what did that dream meant?
i don't generally ask for meanings but really, what the fuck.
there was nothing there with any connection to the rest or the movie, or the character's future.

Why do you think the authors chose to not show his death? Do you think they just forgot, were too lazy were out of budget? What feelings were they trying to convey?

>find a flaw

Movie has modern Snickers and Jack Link's logos despite taking place in 1980.

DUDE RANDOMNESS AND FATE XD LMAO

Who the fuck knows, my guess is it being a nihilistic movie the dream had no meaning bc what’s the point of even watching the gay ass movie

That scene shows the corruption of money on even children. There's a reason it is there.

>I guess there’s indeed no country for old men....
Kinda ruined the whole experience with this line imo

It would accomplish a more complete film that feels like it's missing a scene. He's our lead character, or at least a co lead before everyone starts whining that it's really Tommy Lee Jones. In the actual film it comes off as just, oh, he's dead? The fuck? And it deflates what was otherwise an incredibly suspenseful film of it's climax. Showing it, or showing more of it, still maintains surprise at his death, the melancholy of it all, you even perhaps would get more of the sense of dissappointment that he's been in this epic cat and mouse game against a seemingly instoppable devil only to then bite it to a bunch of nobody Mexicans. You could play it a number of ways, where he seems scared and regretful, where he seems confident and gets wrecked, etc. The scene would complete an otherwise incompetent film.

Writing is a different medium. I've read almost all of McCarthy's work, I've read Denis Johnson who has several similar and equally fantastic stories, and the way the written word works does not translate page for page second to second on screen. There's a bit in Nobody Move where a character shoots another character in the leg in a car. This is accomplished first by merely suggesting a gun is in the car, then later then character calling 911 telling them they just shot someone in the leg. If this were to be adapted to the screen we would *see* the gunshot occur, because it gives us all the information we are told about before/after.

Holy shit I hate this movie now.

Cringe scene for that reason.

damn

It's depressing

This is actually the best movie of all time.

The way he got the suitcase after he hid it didn't make sense.

I hope somebody got fired for that blunder.

So did he end up killing this guy or no?

The ending with the old guy talking about his dreams goes on longer than it should. They changed him from the main character in the book to a side character in the movie, so that should have been trimmed.

i thought like this when i was 17/18. ten years later i gotta say OP is right, it's a 10/10 movie

Call it.

What year exactly did this movie take place? Jack Links wasn't even a thing until like '86

>find a flaw
Movie didn't have a fucking ending. They couldn't even get Brolin to play dead and just rambled some random thing at the end.

>>Find a flaw
It was cool but it got really mundane imo towards the end

Is it the Mary Sue of movies?

Any movie which has "deep open ended" ending is a movie made by a brainlet for brainlets.
