The 9th screening day of the main competition unit of the 13th #Faro IslandFilm Festival # will bring you "No Country for Old Men", and the following will bring you the evaluations of the frontline western group portraits!


Jeremy Sun:

The image of the killer, Anton, will never be forgotten in this life.


The song is wrong:

Just like Baden's weird smile at the beginning, it's indescribable weirdness.


The Northwest vanishes into nothing:

The coin sentenced the gas tank to kill too much drama, and the question was about the old sheriff, another elegy.


Outies:

It feels weird from the killing at the beginning, and it continues until the end of the movie.


Nofan:

The director is experienced, skillful, free to control the plot, and full of ideas, making the film chilling.


Ou Yin:

Perhaps the higher the expectations, the greater the disappointment. From the perspective of the sound, light, and color character structure, it is remarkable, but as a whole, I don't like it.


Jeff Jiang:

The concentration of sight and sound makes the air extremely tense, but after 1/3 of the film starts to lack oxygen, the excessive carbon dioxide after 2/3 makes the time extremely slow, and the viewing experience is bad.


RIVER:

The lack of a soundtrack accentuates the gloomy temperament of the film. Everything takes place in a quiet environment. All of this makes watching the movie like staring into a dark abyss. The ending is short and powerful, and there is a glimmer of hope in the depression. When a police detective is dreaming In the moment of groping, he saw the light.


Supremacyacron:

After all, it is a bit obscure and difficult to understand. On the one hand, it shows the killing of human beings for wealth and birds, and on the other hand, it shows the killing of perverted killers that annihilate humanity. The comparison between the two seems to explain nothing. Although there is a reluctance to explain the title, the actors are still very good in the stylized interpretation of the characters.


We Min Hee:

Strange, so strange, the same kind of indescribable strangeness as "Frozen". The best two-way wrestling and chase scene in the film is just to elicit the theme of the introduction. The old police officer, like the pregnant policeman in "Frozen", is an existence that is separate from the story but points to the topic. But, if there is no such abrupt and thought-provoking content in the last twenty or thirty minutes, but the whole film is about the pursuit and killing, I may like this film more.


Pours full of Zhao +:

I like the rhythm of this narrative so much. The violent advance! The coin toss in the store where Javier Bardem scared me to death, the cold-blooded and hateful killer upholding his principles, basking in the last bright sunlight but making people hate it. For a moment, like Martin MacDonald's "The Killer Has No Holidays," is linked, I hope he can die in that dazzling sunshine in the end. After a few films, I feel that Woody Harrelson is suitable for Westerns, and this gorgeous sauce is still impressive.


Bwheat19920313:

The American West in the Coen Brothers films, full of killing and betrayal, blood and violence, desolation and melancholy, is still indescribably beautiful. This story is not complicated, but in the setting where multiple clues go hand in hand and various forces appear, in turn, everything becomes confusing and suspenseful. Coupled with Roger Deakins's usual god-level photography and completely removed soundtrack, the whole film seems to present only indifference and helplessness.


Whether it is an ordinary person stealing money, a ruthless killer, or a policeman chasing the murderer, in this vast background, everyone is a lonely speck of dust. The gears of fate have already bound their seemingly fresh lives on a fixed track, and when the end arrives, everything will be gone. There were so many soul-stirring moments in my life, but as the twilight faded, everything became as illusory as in a dream. Everyone who came to the end, as the title of the movie said, "has no place for the old", only sighs.
