Default No Country For Old Men

Let's discuss this movie. My favourite of the year and it fell right into my top 5 the first time I saw it. But it needs to be seen a few times. The first time, for the "on the surface" viewing about a guy finding money and things going horribly wrong.

The second time, for a more in depth viewing, analyzing the many metaphors and themes presented. To save you a search, some themes are fate and chance, along with countries and histories of violence.

This film is just wow. The Coen brothers bring about another really atmospheric, smart film with amazing direction. Amazing dialogue. Amazing performances by the actors/actresses all around.
And this needs to be said... one of the best movie villains, ever.

I liked it. I need to see it again to really understand what happened tho. I missed the first 5-10 minutes when I saw it in theaters.
