What did No Country for Old Men say?

This film tells the story of Moss, a hunter, who happened to find a shot dead body with a lot of heroin and a lot of cash while shooting an antelope near Rio Grande.

This sudden adventure made Moss stand at the crossroads of his life. Either he ignored everything and went home to live his own life, or he took the money and flew away.

As a result, he naturally chose the latter, and he realized that his life track had changed from then on. Moss became the prey of the murderer. At this time, a policeman tried to protect Moss and his wife, and a series of terrible things happened like a chain reaction.

Extended data:

No Country for Old Men is a film in which the Cohen brothers participated. Its distinctive feature is that the theme will always be money and murder, the protagonist will always be a nobody who is pushed to the center of the incident by mistake, and the ending will naturally always be a dead duck.

The plot layout, atmosphere creation, black humor and high IQ suspense that the Cohen brothers are good at are all reflected in this new work. The story of "No Country for Old Men" is more in-depth than the previous works of the Cohen brothers, and it also has in-depth discussions on topics such as human nature, time and fate. Under the absurd story framework, it is actually a sad story close to human nature itself.

Coupled with the personal style of the Cohen brothers in photography, the desolate Texas wilderness renders a fascinating and heartbreaking tragic charm. Therefore, the film shows a kind of black interest that is detached from life on the surface, but it is a kind of survival thinking with great humanistic concern on the inside. No wonder North American film critics have come to the conclusion that this film is the most perfect work of the Coen brothers since they started shooting.
