No Country for Old Men
No Country for Old Men. Fourth or fifth time I’ve watched it, I think. Dear lord. There might be just a single-digit number of movies better than this one.

No Country for Old Men
No Country for Old Men. Still one of the best I’ve ever seen. I love this movie.
No Country for Old Men (2007) – “I feel overmatched.”.
All the time you spend tryin’ to get back what’s been took from you, more’s goin’ out the door.
I need to watch this movie again. Cf. F. Scott Fitzgerald.
Vitality shows in not only the ability to persist but the ability to start over.

Josh Brolin on working with the skimpy dialogue in No Country for Old Men:
You have to figure out different ways to convey ideas. You donÄôt want to over-compensate because the fear is that youÄôre going to be boring if nothingÄôs going on. You start doing this and this and taking off your hat and putting it on again or some bullshit that doesnÄôt need to be there.
No Country for Old Men (review: 4/5)
Llewelyn, I dont even want the money. I just want us to be back like we was.
We will be.
No we wont. I’ve thought about it. It’s a false god.
Yeah. But it’s real money.
I don’t have much to say about No Country for Old Men other than that it’s every bit as good as the excellent movie it inspired. The movie is more intense and more suspenseful. The landscape plays a larger role along with the Anton Chigurh character. In the book, I think Chigurh is one of the least interesting people. The book is more explicit in following the stories of Sheriff Bell and Llewelyn Moss, heavier on the Western philosophy (as in earthy wisdom and reminiscing, not as in Kant and Heidegger) and the struggle of knowing when to give up, or at least knowing when it’s over. And it’s about the mysteries of Death and Life and Love and everything else that is worthy. Wonderful storytelling.
I also like these lines:
You sign on for the ride you probably think you got at least the notion of where the ride’s goin. But you might not. Or you might of been lied to. Probably nobody would blame you then. If you quit. But if it’s just that it turned out to be a little roughern what you had in mind. Well. That’s something else.
