What did No Country for Old Men say?

This film is adapted from McCarthy's novel of the same name and directed by the famous Cohen brothers. He won the 80th Oscar for Best Film, Best Director, Best Adapted Screenplay and Best Supporting Actor, which is a classic.

At the beginning of the film, the voice-over of Bell, an old policeman played by tom lea Jones, reveals his mentality. His parents and uncle were both policemen, and the crime at that time was pure. Today's criminal world makes him more and more difficult to understand, as he said at the beginning: he once sent a teenager to the electric chair. The boy did not show any remorse from beginning to end, but said that he was born to kill people. It can be seen that the old policeman has reached a state of exhaustion and can't understand the crimes and people of this era. This is the same as when he went to receive Moss's body at the end of the film. From his conversation with old friends of the Mexican police, we can see that what happened in this era is incredible to them.

The story is not complicated. Moss, a retired Vietnam veteran, accidentally picked up $2 million left by Mexican drug dealers. Conscience found that delivering water in the middle of the night was chased by drug dealers and had to abscond with the money. The gang invited cold-blooded killer Anton, who is not only ruthless, but also has his own set of principles for killing and doing things. Bell, an old policeman, is also pursuing this case. Typical gangster movie routine: the cat chasing the mouse begins.

If this film is just a suspense film wrapped in a simple western, it would be too underestimating the skill of the Cohen brothers. The two brothers, who can be called wizards, have produced a series of classic works with unique styles, such as Simple Blood, Ice Storm and Murder of Green Toes.

I think the film shows the influence of Vietnam War on America, and all classes are on the verge of confusion and collapse. People don't know where to go, and even regard crime as a catharsis, which becomes incomprehensible. The world has always been dominated by an invisible force, just like Moss, a hunter, inexplicably missed when hunting deer, and Anton failed to hit a crow when driving across the bridge. Under the influence of this invisible force, the hunter who absconded with money, cold-blooded killer who pursued him and the police who pursued him were all controlled. Moss tried to protect 2 million, but was accidentally killed by Mexican gangsters. After killing Moss's wife, cold-blooded killer was inexplicably involved in a car accident on the road ... All this is telling the impermanence and coincidence of fate.

As for the final destination of the 2 million yuan, I saw a lot of arguments on the Internet. I tend to think that the money should be in Anton's place. As for why he is obsessed with killing Moss's wife, it is because he himself is a "principled" person.

The only thing that warms my heart in the film is that Moss is wearing a coat that doesn't look like clothes and wants to cross the border into the United States. When I met a policeman who was also a Vietnam War veteran, the old policeman not only let him enter the country, but also asked for help, leaving the only warmth in this cool movie.

Finally, the old policeman Bell told his dream, when he had retired at home. He said that he dreamed of his father. In the dream, his father was younger than him and walked in front of him with a torch that shone like a torch. I think this represents the justice and light of that society, which is gradually moving away from Bell and that generation of Americans.

The Coen Brothers won the Best Film, Best Director and Best Adapted Screenplay at the 80th Academy Awards for No Country for Old Men, and javier bardem won the Best Supporting Actor for his classic killer image. This is a thrilling and thought-provoking film.

The movie impressed me the most, just like the story of "Charlie shot a cow and was wounded by a bullet" told by the old sheriff Bell. Around the fatal temptation of $2 million, everyone thought they could control the situation. However, before the game is over, no one knows their ending.

Only the old sheriff Bell faced up to his helplessness in the case and felt the sad mood of "No Country for Old Men". Although he can predict the killer Higl's further moves, he is always one step behind; Although I knew that Moses was in great danger, I failed to save him in the end.

Bell, while thinking of the simple social environment in which his grandfather and father "didn't even carry pistols" when they were policemen, lamented the sad trend that people can take risks for money and no longer follow good customs, and criminals are becoming more and more cruel and inhuman, which makes people hard to prevent and hard to prevent. This made him exhausted and finally chose to resign.

Others, whether cowboy Moss, killer Higl, behind-the-scenes boss or overconfident Wells, are playing by their own rules, thinking that they can control the development of the situation.

Moss is a cowboy who likes hunting. After a fight among Mexican drug dealers, he accidentally found $2 million in cash at the scene. Moss accepted the money without hesitation. When he returned to the scene in the middle of the night to deliver water to a survivor, he was found and chased by the drug dealers who arrived, and later attracted cold-blooded killer Higl to chase him all the way.

Moss is a Vietnam War veteran. He has excellent marksmanship, calm mind and skilled survival skills. When hunting deer, he will carefully pick up the shell casings; When he was swooped down by a vicious dog, he just landed and did not forget to blow dry the gun chamber, put on a magazine and shoot again; When he saw the curtains in the hotel room open, he knew there was an ambush. He resolutely checked out the money box hidden in the ventilation duct from other rooms and ran away. ...

Black Sieg has a mushroom head, always with a strange, stubborn and cold expression on his face and carrying a powerful air pump gun.

The scene of Higl brutally killing the deputy sheriff with handcuffs at the police station is shocking; When he talked with the gas station owner, the tension in the air was almost suffocating; He can kill anyone in cold blood and occasionally play God, making people guess coins to decide their own life and death; Moreover, his "principle" is extremely strong. As long as someone causes him inconvenience, he will not hesitate to kill them, whether it is an opponent, boss, partner or colleague. ...

Higl misses Moss in a motel. When Moss found the transmitter in the cash box, Higl had already arrived at his home by signal. This direct confrontation is really wonderful and people can't help but hold their breath.

Inside the door, it waits in the dark, aiming at the door with a gun; Outside, the shadow of footsteps appeared quietly in the door lamp, and Higl broke into the house after the lights flashed. In the indoor gunfight, Moss jumped out of the window and fought in the street. Later, Moss pretended to be shot and crashed, waiting for an opportunity to ambush Higl who approached the inspection. ...

The contest ended with injuries to both sides, but Higl bluntly never let Moss go. He once suggested that Moss could exchange $2 million for his wife's life, but Moss refused. Moss is sure that he can beat Higl.

I also believe that they can stop Higl and confident Wells, who is another killer invited by the drug dealer boss. Wells has great strength. He can observe that there is a hidden floor in the building of the drug dealer boss. Can find the hospital where Moss is hiding in three hours; He was flexible enough to agree to keep some cash for trading, which made Moss move. He also keenly discovered Moss's hidden cashbox through scene reproduction. ...

However, Higl is even more terrible. He can always know their thoughts clearly and give a fatal blow first.

When Wells moves around, Higl just needs to go directly to his hotel and laugh before killing him. "If you obey the law, it will bring you into a desperate situation. What will it do?" .

In order to get back at his boss who didn't trust him, Higl abandoned the elevator and took the stairs, thus easily breaking into the mysterious hidden floor.

Higl deliberately mentioned his wife hiding in her family to Moss, knowing that Moss would inform her to join him after the transfer; Moss's mother-in-law inadvertently revealed the meeting place, but she was blindly wary of Moss in Higl, unprepared for a group of Mexican drug dealers who came to the door simply and rudely; After Moss died, Higl picked up the money he had hidden in the ventilation duct.

It seems that everything is under control, and Higl even "kept his promise" and killed Moss's innocent wife. However, while he was driving triumphantly for a red light, he was hit by a car that ran through the red light. Higl was seriously injured, but he fled the scene despite embarrassment.

Indeed, no one can really control everything.

No Country for Old Men is the work of Cohen Brothers in 2007, and it is the best film in the 80th Academy Awards. Through a darker and more hopeless world, the Cohen brothers tried to explain to us that this world, life, people and so on are absurd beings, and it is human nature itself that drives this world.

This is a film that shows violence and injustice. From the beginning, the film created a kind of psychological oppression with slow rhythm and low soundtrack. No Country for Old Men is a complete tragedy, and No Country for Old Men has a wide meaning. This world, this life, this person, and even the development and ending of this story are in a desolate state, and there is nowhere to follow.

Moss met a large windfall. He wanted to get rid of the predicament of life, but he never thought about it, but he embarked on a road of escape without considering himself. Although the old policeman Bell is experienced, from the very beginning, Bell began to talk about his parents' glory and miss the past years blindly. With the occurrence of the bloody case, Bell became more and more helpless, and finally chose to resign and leave the police. Anton, a killer with high IQ, is cruel, bloodthirsty, calm and cold-blooded. He killed countless lives along the way, but he finally survived and escaped from the modern civilization system.

No Country for Old Men combines many elements, such as westerns, action movies, crime movies and film noir. But all the elements salute and subvert at the same time. The taboo of not killing women in western movies is broken here, and the violent blasting scenes in action movies are just embellishments here. The plot in the crime movie follows the direction of money, and here we have no idea where the money finally went.

The desolation and blind struggle of human nature in a disorderly society make the world chaotic and morally bankrupt. In such a world, everyone's fate and future are "No Country for Old Men", which is also the reason why movies cause people to torture and reflect on soul and humanity.

Thank you. Forgive me for being disappointed in you. Please listen to other people's answers.

I don't know what the old man's work No Country means, and I haven't seen it. Listen to the children say it's a foreign movie. I don't look at foreign things unless they are classics, such as the tragedy of Shakespeare's Hamlet. ...

I also resent China's "crossing" things, such as the sketch "Jing Ke Stabbed the King of Qin", which satirizes "crossing" time and space.

But such dross is still common.

For no reason always refers to those who are young and don't work hard, idle away all their lives, and don't do business until they are old and single.

This is unreasonable!

Quite simply, because the social welfare system is not perfect, people will fight for their lives regardless of money! It is somewhat similar to China's phrase "People die for money, birds die for food". I also like this work very much.

This film tells a truth through several stories: people can succeed (or fail) in the process of seeking things, and no one can control their own destiny.

In this rapidly changing world, every moment of our lives is full of great uncertainties: diseases, accidents, investment failures and so on. Although we are as sophisticated, meticulous and hardworking as Hilge, we can't guarantee that everything will go according to plan, and we were almost killed in the end. There is a simple reason. In this world, "someone always runs a red light". This theorem has little effect on whether we are on the side of justice or evil.

The impermanence and helplessness of life
