No Country for Old Men (2007)



Its a weird movie. I don't see how it could have won the best film oscar for 2007. The acting is good, the direction is gripping, there is a plot, but you shouldn't be rewarded for leaving the audience in the lurch, but thats exactly what happens. All throughout the film, the suspense is building up, characters are merging in, lot of action is happening, everything is moving towards a possible culmination when bam! credits!

what kind of a sadist plot is that?


Javier Bardem
is menancing as the psychopathic killer and Josh Brolin looks the quintessential cowboy. Tommy Lee Jones is thoroughly wasted just mouthing some cool deductions and putting in place his stupid assistant


Director brothers Ethan Coen and Joel Coen live up to their expectations. Just like Fargo(1996) and The big Lebowski(1998), this is yet another weird movie from them.

Concept : 5/10
Performance: 7/10
Screenplay: 7/10
Technical: 8/10

Overall 6.7/10

hey ,i don't think the ending was that crap ,actually seeing from one prospective it is trying to makes the audience feel that everything isn't certain and a situation can have many dimensions ,there can be many reason for a cause ,the ending does has many meaings ,firstly it tells about the functioning of two opposite organization ,on the other hand it is also trying to tell that there is no place of oldies in a countryside.i don't think 6 or 7 is what it deservs ,for me it's 9 .You said it doesn,t deserve
oscar ,tell me which other movie then ,there will be blood was not that good ,atoniment was also deserving ,i don't know about michel clayton.
