Old Men Without A Country

I have to put in my $1.45 about No Country for Old Men.

You may not want to read if you haven't seen the movie. Spoiler.

Its a movie. You have to watch and actually pay attention to get it. Listening and watching are important to the medium. Not all movies are pieces of trash that you look at and understand. That's boring. The movie is about details- little details. If you haven't noticed half way through the movie you aren't watching an action movie, you got it all wrong. You better just pack up your shit and leave the theater. Stop the DVD and start over or try again later. You may be saying to yourself, "You crazy bitch that was an action movie." Maybe you jumped out of your seat. Maybe you were thrilled. But that was no action movie. The movie was simply wearing an action movie suit. What you were really watching was in introspective movie about a good ol' boy getting old and worn down by life. (I love a simple story about a good ol' boy. It the Texas in me. I also like movies about Texas.) Dora the Explorer and Tommy Lee Jones were dueling the whole time. They even have a stand-off of sorts. Llewelyn was only the side story. The side story was exciting, but beside the point.

If you haven't "figured it out" (as if there is some secret code) maybe the title would help you.
