What is No Country for Old Men saying?

The movie background is set at 1980. In fact, the story is very old-fashioned: drug dealing, huge sums of money, someone sweeping away ill-gotten gains, and everyone in the underworld is bloody. The original work, written in Texas dialect, depicts an unforgettable picture of the American West. The ongoing violence in this land dwarfs the legends of their predecessors in the underworld in the19th century. Those who haven't seen the original will stare at the movie screen, and may turn their eyes away because they are afraid to look. The audience who are familiar with the original work will be even more surprised by the talent of the Coen brothers in writing and directing: gloomy novels can be adapted to shine with genius wit and black humor everywhere, but the profound humanistic care embodied in the original work has not been sacrificed at all. Javier bardem's performance is vivid, creating a gangster with distinctive personality-Ziggy, which is rarely seen on the screen in recent years. At first glance, the cold-blooded Riggs are simply an insulator of humor. When he asks for directions or kills people, his tone is the same calm. But it is through this that the Cohen brothers show the black humor embodied in this role. Jones' acting skills are even more speechless. The characters in McCarthy's novels are just prototypes made of him. He plays an arrogant old sheriff in the film, and he is very disappointed with the reality and performs very well.

Let me add here that Llewellyn, who found $2 million, went home with a conscience. Sleep problems decided to go back to send water to the injured man on the truck. He lost a lot of blood and kept asking him for water. As a result, he met gangsters there, and since then, born to die. The tracker in the cash box has also become a prop for the story to continue. Although he found and got rid of the tracking, Llewellyn, who had a narrow escape and strong vitality, suddenly died in the hands of some absurd street thugs who seemed to have nothing to do with the plot, as if it were fate caused by a joke from heaven.

Chigur, a killer with a ridiculous hairstyle, has been killing people since he appeared: the most cruel way is to strangle a policeman and kill him all the way with an inflatable bottle. The police detective hardly spared any passers-by until he was seriously injured and escaped. Of all the men, women and children he met, only a grocer and a boy on a bicycle escaped. When he was so angry that he wanted to kill someone, there was only one subtle movement that could see through his heart: turning his head to one side and no one was watching. Kill or not kill, not because of hatred and money, but because of Ziggy's heart that can't peep. Unreasonable murder and violence are more difficult to confront and track, and there are few rules to follow, which will only deepen the horror of the murderer. As a result, the police officer (tommy lee jones), who was originally unstable in the film, was at a loss when he first faced a serial murder case. He can only rely on the old man to tell cold jokes and become a commentator with the title of' old man'.

Although the story of the movie is about the Western Regions in the early 1980s, the world we live in is actually like the scene in the movie after appreciating the barbarity and boundless vastness of the Western Regions. Globalization has diluted the boundaries between countries, and there are policemen like Tom who are helpless and unwilling to hide in abandoned or abandoned corners in every corner. If you are not strong enough in this world, you will be tortured to death by the mediocrity of your life. At least Moss bravely picked up the gun on the way to be hunted, and died bravely. There are also strong people like Riggs. In the battlefield, shopping malls and workplaces, when their brilliance fades, they will eventually leave quietly with a whole body of pain like Riggs. No Country for Old Men, this is everyone's ending, whether you like it or not.
