There is a kind of passion hidden in this movie. Sheriff Bell is a big villain, and Chigurh, a perverted killer, is a big upright.
When you were young, would you be incapable of holding your hands for a sudden decision, and once you stepped in, you would not look back, rushing for a momentary vigor?
While you are preparing to embark on this desperate journey, what morality, what should be done and what should not be done, what fate, what will happen next tragedy, are all shit!
We live by the passion of the moment.
At this time, the blood will be consumed with age, because of seeing the world more clearly.
Everyone met by the cowboy Moss and the murderer Chigurh were old people. This was deliberately arranged by the director to make a sharp contrast with the two. As more and more old people meet, the contrast is not Stop being emphasized, keep being expanded. Old people are acting according to certain experience. They will tell you in a rigid manner what should not be and what should be, and they will sigh and tell you that you should not be like this. Because they had seen the whole event before the blood was about to flow.
Sheriff Bell's rigidity and powerlessness in handling the case is obvious at a glance. He must get a clear evidence to drive out to handle the case, otherwise he will read the newspaper, lament the news in the newspaper, and talk about the impermanence of fate. He couldn't get into the hearts of the cowboy Moss and the murderer Chigurh. He would just sit with another old policeman and complain about the young man's dyed green hair. He didn't know what he was thinking, as if it was just for money and drugs.
And the cowboy Moss and the murderer Chigurh are not for this, they are for another thing, money is just a small fuse, detonating a kind of irregular to find that can only move forward and never look back.
This movie subverts the old people’s impression in everyone’s minds. Usually old people are always representatives of experience and wisdom. But in fact, the old people are numb, no wonder, and the world is measured by inherent secular experience. It is a mysterious and absurd power. The passion has disappeared from them without a trace.
At the end of the movie, the sheriff Bell went to visit his father. He said that he was powerless in this case. He always thought that the older he was, God would show him a clear path, but that was not always the case. But his father, who was a policeman, told him a story to lament the impermanence of fate, just like the story he told young people he couldn't understand at all.
Old people see the world with their vicissitudes of life. They tell themselves, and at the same time advise young people, what should be done and what should not be done, but they have lost the courage to do one thing, their excitement is gone, their decisiveness It's gone, their beliefs are gone, they just think wildly, they don't have anything to rely on.
After the sheriff Bell retired, he had two dreams one day. He dreamed that his father had become younger, 20 years younger than himself. His father lit the fire in the dark and rode a horse to the distance, and he had been Follow him, follow the bright flames in the dark night.
If God can still give us youth, sheriff Bell and his father can still go to unknown distances for no reason, lighting up the fire in the dark night, but life is irreversible, those who can rely on doing some crazy things when they are young Mysterious power, God only gives you when you are young, and you can only remember when you are old.
If we can still be obsessed for a little thing, not for money and worldliness, hope that everything can continue, the shackles of age, please do not come to imprison.
The Coen brothers used bloody events to show the irreversible life of this kind, which is very impressive. The language of the lens is quite powerful. Their movies only live for the big screen.
