It means that when you get old you have no country
America is not an adequate place for elderly men
ain't no place for the elderly
The night is dark and full of terrors. It is the duty of the old men among us to enter this darkness, so that they can light the way for those behind them. Even though this will often bring no recognition, no peace for them. It's needed, there is no nation for old men, because they will die soon. The nation is for the next generation.
but the elderly did not do anything in the story. the elderly were sidetracked and did nothing of importance while the younger generation actually lived out their stories.
shit happens
How did the ending of this film filter so many audiences in 2007? Were people just dumber then?
>It was all a dream
Face it, it was a cop out ending.
Of course quads get wasted on a moron who completely missed the message
>no country for old men
>government is run by a bunch of 70+ year olds giving tax breaks to other 70 year olds
If you find a bunch of money in the desert just leave it there
He would've been fine if he didn't try to bring that guy agua
there was also the tracker that he was unaware of, so, no
He probably would have counted the money the next day, and would've found the tracker.
But because he went back to the murder site and got caught, he was on the run and didn't have much time to search the briefcase.
Alright man you try to steal that mexican desert money if you want, I don't think it can be done.
How did the book handle this, I thought the ambiguity about whether he was doomed because of the tracker or whether he would have gotten away with everything if he hadn't brought the agua might have been completely unintentional
Finding him would have been unlikely. Chigurh was able to track him because he got his vehicle info. The truck wouldn't have been there if he didn't go back to give the dude agua.
I was always a little disappointed they just happened to find him by driving past the exact motel the main character was staying at. Like if Moss had just kept driving until he hit the middle of nowhere he would've been fine (his family is a different matter). That stupid tracker clearly had a limit of a few hundred yards. That they found him so easily always seemed like such a huge coincidence I can't help but be pulled out of the movie briefly.
Bad luck. Good luck on the chasers part. It's exactly how it works irl
AW SHERRIFF WE JUST MISSED HEEEEEEM
The only scene that matters is the conversation between Sherriff Ed Tom Bell (Tommy Lee Jones) and his Cousin Ellis
Everything else in the movie is there to contextualize this conversation
They live in a hard, violent place that chews people up and spits them out, and sooner or later even the survivors are worn out
Didn't you see the opening?
>ok I'll be part of this world
In the beginning he says I'll be part of the world of crime and law enforcement. He tells that story of the crazy kid to show things happen which make no sense. Then the main story happens. After a whole career of being cop he feels he did nothing to stop evil. That evil is too powerful.
His dream is about holding on to light or good even if surrounded by darkness. Passing it on to next generation.
>and then i woke up
You can take this as two ways. The dream is the idea of hope in this dark world.
The dream is an illusion and there is nothing, life means nothing, everything passes and we all die.
>What was the message of this film?
The universe is a cruel and uncaring place.
We try to make sense of the chaos but never can.
Sometimes the bad guys win, sometimes they don't
Growing old sucks.
My dad is currently dying from stage 4 cancer and I think about this movie a lot.
I wish I had not seeing that spoiler.
Sorry to hear that anon, take care.
Thanks for the kind words, both my dad and I actually love this movie and have discussed its implications thoroughly. My dad talked about how the ending doesn't really make sense until you've lost your father and I think that is 100% true. You don't really realize how lost you are in life as a man until you lose your father.
We used to have a black cat that terrorized our property and other cats for almost 10 years, one day me and my dad found the cat anti-climatically turned into roadkill, and we both agreed that it felt like something "straight out of No Country for Old Men".
The world is also a beautiful place and you have every good memory with your father on it and he has his of you.
Sorry about your dad, let him know you love him and live a good life.
It wasn't a land for senior citizens
Shit happens: THE MOVIE
Stuff: the movie
>What was the message of this film?
Some of us are old men from the moment we're born.

The point was literally nihilism. The sheriff came from a time when things were much simpler, when there were good guys and bad guys and the bad guys were brought to justice. In the movie we dont see any "good guys", everyone is motivated by selfishness and greed, and things happen without any higer justification. Why doesnt Chigurr kill the gas station attendant? Because he got lucky and called the coin, thats it, theres no reason beyond that. The same goes for why Chigurr is hit by a car, he just happened to be in the wrong place at the wrong time. Things dont happen because of any karamic justice in the universe, its all just random. The sheriff cant reconcile this fact with what he was raised beliving, hence the name of the movie
You have to go back
Sorry, but the writing in this movie is the epitome of reddit nihilism, if you cant accept that youre in denial
reddit is obsessed with nihilism yes. that doesnt make the analysis wrong.
>The point was literally nihilism.

Sheriff just thought the times were simpler but they werent
that cartel enforcers kill everyone they encounter while looking for stollen drug money to draw as much attention to them as possible.
I used to be with it, but then they changed what it was. Now what I'm with isn't it, and what's it seems weird and scary to me.
Don't bing the guy water. That's the essage.
Literally spelled out for you when the sheriff visits his Uncle or whoever it was. Life is random and unfair, there has always been violence and always will.
always kill characters off screen
