No Country for Old Men - film
« on: 27 December 2010, 16:35:42 »

Did anyone else watch this last night on Film4?

I thought it was a great film until about 20 mins from the end. Woody Arrelson was killed earlier by Shurgar (wasn't he just great!).

After the adverts, loads of people dead at the motel. Who killed the cowboys mother in law?Shurgar or the Mexicans? What happened to the money? Why did Tommy Lee Jones............

In fact what the ***** hell actually happened at the end.?  ;D :-? :-?

LOL how strange is that? we watched it and then were so disappointed by the ending!! the rest of the film was great especially the beginning where he found the gear and had to escape when he went back to take water to the wounded guy,
but we have noticed a fair few films have this type of ending now, anyone else noticed it?

Saw it 2 or 3 years back. Started well, but kind of fizzled out I thought...

Yep.

I went to the cinema to watch it. Never a cheap process what with the prices and the wife's insistance of a dustbin full of Sprite and popcorn.

I'll echo all the comments about the ending. Just kinda left me thinking WTF?  :-?

We've got it on DVD, but have never bothered to watch it. Might have to stick it on tonight, see if we 'get it' second time around?

I like films that need some degree of thinking about, and tend to love films that get people talking.  Thats probably why I think Inception is probably the best film I've seen this year.

I think I've got every Coen bros film on DVD

Hudsucker, Millers Crossing, Fargo, Big Lebowski and O, Brother.... are some of my favourite films of all time....in fact, I have yet to see a bad film from the Coens :y

Just saw True Grit (the remake) today and it was fantastic, a must-see imo

Saw Tron Legacy the other day too and that was excellent geek porn, although only those who are proper geeks will get all the references  :y

IMO " no country for old men" is probably one of those very rare occasions where the film is nearly as good as the book.

Was thinking of inception as I read this through and sure enough, it's been mentioned. Struggling to think of a deeper story line. Layered in fact, defo worth a look.

And likewise watched no country a while back, can't remember any fudflement over the ending.... In fact I can't remember the ending at all....  ::). Good, another film to watch.  ;D:y

Might still be on the ps3 actually.  :-X

I watched No Country For Old Men and left the room for 2 mins near the end, came back in and could not make head nor tail of it, especially when Tommy Lee Jones was sitting in the room where the hitman was hiding and then it just cuts to something else.....  then at the end a car crash and the guy limps off - it was all over the place.  I hate films that leave the story unfinished.
