Seminal power of an old prostatic man

Rating: 2/10 (8 December 2011)

I am not good at writing reviews, especially movie reviews. I would like to write a brilliant review to explain why I dislike this movie. It would take so much time and I don't have the talent! Let me try to explain in a few words why I dislike this movie. It is said in Germany that when you do not know what to wear to go out, then you have to choose black, because black is always trendy. The Coen brothers are extremely talented, but they have a tendency to forget that they are movie directors. They are very proud to make a movie like this because beyond violence it is quite intellectual. It is a "black suit" movie. Fashionable, because of its nihilistic and pessimistic meaning. The problem is that there is no story. It is a collection of situations, totally unrealistic. There is no dialogue. There is no love. It is Terrence Malik, without Nature and beauty. It has the absurdity of Tarantino, but with darker tones and details. It is promising a lot, but does not offer anything. The Sheriff is tired and getting old. He retires in the middle of a criminal investigation to have dreams and breakfast with his wife. The killer kills with the efficiency and mechanical patience of a fumigator. The pseudo-hero is bleeding all the time and running with a dark suitcase in the middle of empty cities. Because this movie is about the passing of ages, and how a world without values is disintegrating. The problem is that the movie is the first victim of this collective disintegration. It is not funny. It is not even boring. It is empty. No country for any man, old or young. No country at all. I hope the Coen brothers can stop making movies like these. They should never forget that it is important to make people happy. It does not need to be a comedy, but something to make your heart beat a little faster. You can have drama and still smile. Something to make life more interesting and enjoyable. This movie is like a drop of semen from a 91 years old man. A lot of effort for nothing. If some people feel rejuvenated with that kind of seminal power, then they must really have a need for it! Please do not waste your time and watch "Bad Lands" by Terrence Malik instead.
