Listen to the old men

Rating: 10/10 (9 December 2007)

In addition to being a technically beautiful film, having all of the hoped for elements of dramatic suspense, breath-gasping surprise and low-profile humor, this film gets a 10 for inspiring serious thought.
We can see plenty of blood, gore and handsome, talented actors in movies that present a story with a tidy packaged tale. Those films reward us nicely with entertainment - No Country For Old Men does something more.
The message - to me - was subtle, thought provoking, I left pondering, while some fellow movie watchers left making comments of puzzlement. It made me wonder if the action made them deaf to the dialog. Maybe you need to be Old Men to understand?
Like Fargo, some people won't get it,like Fargo, there is as much below the surface as there is on the screen. No surprise considering the source and the talent - another success!
