No Country For Old Men Example Essay Example

mind set on getting something, there was nothing stopping him.

Anyone in his path, he killed. He was so ruthless, that it was actually kind of funny how he could kill someone without a care in the world. It made me laugh how after each of his victims died; he would have a look on his face as if he had not done anything unusual.

There was no negotiating with him; and even if he got what he wanted, you still were not in the clear. A man told Llewelyn Moss about the attitude of Anton Chigurh saying, “Once he gets his money, he still might kill you for inconveniencing him.

” Anton really had a never give up attitude about him. At the same time, Llewelyn Moss had the same never give up attitude, and that is where the action came into play. Llewelyn was not an ordinary guy who could be easily manipulated. He was no punk at all; when push came to shove, he was ready to shove back.

I have always liked suspense thrillers like this movie. The ultimate suspense comes at the end where a massive shootout happens at the motel where Llewelyn is at, and is killed. Also you know that Anton is still on the loose, and still does not have the treasure he seeks which is now with the mob. The movie ends as a cliffhanger when you see Sheriff Ed Tom Bell (Tommy Lee Jones) telling his wife about the two dreams he had the night before. Both dreams are about his father who has already passed.

Unable to remember what the first dream was about,

he goes on to explain the second.

In the second dream, he describes his dad riding on pass him on horseback as if he did not know his own son. He goes on to say that his dad is going to a place to make a fire to stay by in the cold and dark world. My interpretation of the dream is that the cold and dark place represents death, but the light from the fire represents life. The fire is a symbol for the sheriff’s life and his father being beside it means he is always with his son. After he finishes telling his wife, the movies just goes off.

I really enjoyed watching No Country for Old Men. It followed all the reviews I received from my family and peers. Out of the entire movie, I only disliked how the movie ended with the sheriff’s dream. I did not mind the movie leaving the viewer in suspense, making their own assumptions on what will happened to Anton and the treasure, but I’m sure there were others ways to end the story. If there was ever to be a sequel to this movie, I will be the first in line to get my ticket to see how this thrill ride of a movie ends.
