It's not a crime movie at all, it's not even an action movie or a suspense thriller. There are some problems with the translation of the title, no country for old men and no country for old men can't be simply equated. The protagonist of this film is not a perverted killer, nor is he a retired colonel who wants to get 2 million. As the title says, the protagonist of this film is an old sheriff who doesn't play the most time. no country for old men. It tells the helplessness of an old sheriff in the face of a more and more materialized society and all parties who are more and more unscrupulous in order to obtain money. The perpetrators are becoming more and more brutal and professional, and it is no longer suitable for an old-school sheriff. As said at the beginning of the film, in the days when the old sheriff was young, the sheriff of a small town didn't even need a pistol. This is narrated in many episodes of the film, such as the so-called "mind wander" in the conversation between the old sheriff and the retired colonel's wife, and the conversation between the old sheriff and the young police officer when they discuss the perverted crime in the newspaper. Like the last dialogue of the film. In short, this is a complete literary film, which aims to tell the changes in society from the perspective of an old man. The violent plot of the whole film, as well as the perverted killer with excellent acting skills, are just to set off this theme.

The creation of a meaningful atmosphere, unique production techniques, and leisurely lens language... Sure enough, the Coen brothers have collected all previous director skills and a natural masterpiece!

The murderer succeeded in explaining what it means to be strong without desire. People with desire are lambs to be slaughtered...
