review after ''no country for old man''

Rating: 9/10 (15 January 2008)

the film is about morality,principles and this controverted end is about the lack of this in the new world where the rules doesn't exist anymore;the sheriff represent the past,everything is old and doesn't belong to the new world which is ''no country for old'' man like him who leave in a time were things are good and right and dream about it with eyes wide open but reality outside is up to him;the south is the country who is supposed to be an oasis of morality,but even there is changed everything because the actors are different,the money to die for are more and there are no rules anymore;the hunter is evil and represent death,indesctructible,with no mercy but disposed to play a game of life and death with everybody where if you are lucky to win in the art of dialog or in the Russian roulette with the coin it's remaining to you the chance to pray for his no returning because the second chance may not exist;the hunted supposed to be an honorable man but his conspiracy plan of escaping from the hunter,the death with ''THE MONEY''(who are the engine of the action and the engine of the new world)is a shadow on his morality but because the hunter wants his life and the money he is not having any chance to save what the hunter is thinking is having a value for him-his own wife which die in dignity with so much trust in him;the rest are week characters which fills the story;the lack of music is simply an worth it thing because the action is capting the public attention and is not needed to point what is important because everything is boiling in this film;the film is a satire of our times where money could change everything and everybody and the principles of morality are down and doesn't exist anymore rules and you have to be with the eyes wide opened because you are the hunted one and what the hunters wants is your soul and your money and your single choice is to run alone to the freedom of life with no sign of weakness and undetected with a good conspirator plan to escape like in the film;the film it's about the jungle of life and how everything it's changing starting from one minor thing(the human feelings are strong in him and he is returning to give water to the wounded Mexican in a totally wrong place and taking what only occult power could have,a lot of money and disturbing the peaceful land of dreams of the old sheriff which sims in the end not having his country and loosing his faith in him and the world around);i think the screenplay is simply but fantastic developed,the actors are great,it's an intelligent film about what could be and what would be,about how the present is taking place of the past and the not knowing future;it is a simple,very realistic film;the film also could be interpreted in a metaphoric way
