My favorite part was when the main character dies off camera and they just keep going like the actor walked off set when only 30% of the movie had been shot and refused to return.
This movie fricking sucked shit, OP is right >oh muh ambiguity did he really kill her at the end >oh muh fate muh destiny le heckin ebin expectation subverted thanos is just dead now 😀 >oh noes a car crash whoa holy shit 😮 how deep :0 how ebin :O
>muh ambiguity did he really kill her at the end
I really don't see how it could be ambiguous at all that he killed her. there's literally zero room for uncertainty, the movie practically shoves it in your face that he killed her.
the REAL question is whether he killed the accountant.
>the REAL question is whether he killed the accountant.
Dude he's right, the accountant was the ultimate test of Chigur's true morals, (which are mostly bullshit, it's pretty much spelled out by Carla, he's just a psychopath with a god complex) the accountant did nothing to threaten chigurh, nor did he waste his time with small talk/pointless questions, nor is he even really a civillian, the accountant was clearly part of the operation and is clearly smart enough to keep his mouth shut, there's really no practical reason to kill the accountant based on what we've seen from Chigurh thus far, unless you're already on board with the fact that he's just a murderer who likes killing people and violence just because, but for most people watching for the first time it's completely open in the air whether he killed him or not until he meats Carla and she throws his true nature right back in his face.
the exchange they have is pretty straightforward as I remember it: >are you going to kill me? >that depends do you see me? (while looking at him straight in the face)
the implication being: you saw me kill somebody and you can ID me, therefore I have to kill you
isn't that obvious?
I feel like No Country is the ultimate litmus test for people to tell if they really understand what the word pretentious means. No Country is so deceptively simple it filters actual morons because they think the minimalist style = pretentious when in reality the movie is filmed this way to emulate Cormac Mccarthy's style of writing, which is probably the most simple no bullshit writing style in all of literature. Due to the way No Country is directed I firmly believe the only directors capable of a proper Blood Meridian adaptation are the Coen Bros, they translated Cormac's writing to film perfectly.
The original book and subsequent movie that this was stolen from is better. >Flashpoint is a 1984 American neo-western action thriller film starring Kris Kristofferson, Treat Williams, Rip Torn, Jean Smart, Kurtwood Smith, and Tess Harper.
lol nice reach
The similarities pretty much start and stop at guy finds a lot of money in the desert and goons chase him down for it, No Country for Old Men was written as a response to natural born killers and other action movie dreck Cormac hated so much.
No homosexual, this is the part where you're supposed to provide evidence and proper arguments as to why no country for old men being a ripoff of flashpoint whilst refuting the points other anon was making as to why Cormac wrote no country in the first place, instead of claiming people have never seen your favorite le obscure corny western that's so underground most normies haven't seen it. I saw it and it doesn't hold a candle to Mccarthy's writing or the Coen's directing. Even if you're right about it being a ripoff this is like enjoying The Thing from outer space instead of the thing (1984), no matter what you think flashpoint is a fun product of it's time, no country is an achievement in storytelling and film.
>The original book and subsequent movie that this was stolen from
They're similar but I wouldn't go as far as to say it was outright stolen >is better
LOL
I'm sorry but flashpoint is nowhere even close to being a better movie or story than Old Country
I didn't like this movie. At one point I was thinking to myself "this movie is really long and this scene is dumb, I'm gonna pause after this scene and take a piss" (I don't like to pause movies if I can help it). Then the movie ended because it turned out that was the last scene. The one with the obvious dream symbolism.
I didn't really get the point of the movie. Texas is no country for old Tommy Lee Jones. Why? Because of the mexicans? the drugs? He's just old? I wanted to relate to it, because I hate zoomers and zoomer culture, but the movie didn't really have anything interesting to say. It was basically just that grandpa simpson line, "it'll happen to you" except two hours long.
Not Texas, the country. The ever changing world, it doesn't matter what it is. Tommy Lee Jones has lost the will to adapt. And if you pay attention to the conversation with his uncle, the most important scene in the movie, then you'll understand that the world doesn't change. It's men that change, that lose the strength/will to adapt as we get older. That's why he told Sherriff Bell about the story of his great grandfather or whatever being killed in cold blood on his doorstep, generations ago by indians.
>there’s no… no… wait… dont tell me NO MUSIC AAAAAAAA IM SHITTING AND PISSING SAVE ME Black personMAN AAAAAA
Lol you fricking pussy scared by the lack of a soundtrack
You got filtered
Facts. Fantastic film.
>it was all a le dream
coens are hacks
rewatched yesterday and I enjoyed it significantly less, I think it's McCarthy's ideas that hold it back
which ideas are those?
pseud post
Did someone troll you and tell you it was a horror film for halloween?

If you think Llewellyn was the main character you didn't understand the movie
This movie fricking sucked shit, OP is right

>oh noes a car crash whoa holy shit 😮 how deep :0 how ebin :O
nah, honestly even if you don't buy into the more "pretentious" stuff, it's still just a really good thriller
not for ADHD brains though
>muh ambiguity did he really kill her at the end

is that a meme?

Why on Earth would anyone believe the accountant was killed? The one line of dialog would make zero sense. It's literally an out for him to live.
the exchange they have is pretty straightforward as I remember it:
>are you going to kill me?
>that depends do you see me? (while looking at him straight in the face)
the implication being: you saw me kill somebody and you can ID me, therefore I have to kill you

Okay, forget the question in my post
. I forgot morons exist.
oh what's that?
you have no counter?
thought so
i doubt this is the meaning, he'd just say "yes" instead of being sarcastic

>checks his boots for blood 3 seconds after leaving the house
it's not ambiguous at all lol
it's very overrated imo
mid at best
Nope, sorry.
i like most stuff i choose to watch anon, i can't relate to you
Correct, haven't watched a bad movie in ages. If I trust my gut it never happens, although watching gfs movies picks means it still happens
The original book and subsequent movie that this was stolen from is better.

you just read a plot summary of Flashpoint. I don't believe you've watched it.

It sounds like you read a plot summary of No Country and immediately thought it was a ripoff of Flashpoint.

>Holy shit this sucks
best movie in the last 20 years. Your fricking doomed to be moronic.
there is music (albeit diagetic) when the mariachi plays
>there’s no… no… wait… dont tell me NO MUSIC AAAAAAAA IM SHITTING AND PISSING SAVE ME Black personMAN AAAAAA
Lol you fricking pussy scared by the lack of a soundtrack
Frick you b***h
What would you prefer, yodelling?
When they killed the invincible Hispanic off screen I almost turned it off
my friend said that Chigurh and Moss are the same person lol
>spooky because no music
Sounds like horror made for zoomies
unironically the hotel scene after Moss find the tracker made me more anxious than any horror movie released in the last 20 years
