"No Country for Old Men" English title "No Country for Old Men", from Yeats' 1928 classic "Sail to Byzantium", translated by Zha Liangzheng as "that is not the country of the elderly", Yuan Kejia translated as "that place is not old people stay".
Because of his civil and martial arts such as the Civil Law Encyclopedia, Emperor Justinian made the Byzantine Empire (527-565) the prestige to reach the peak, and was called "the last Roman emperor".
In Yeats' mind, the Byzantine Dynasty was the last glory of aristocratic culture. "Sail to Byzantium" expresses the poet's disgust for the spiritual emptiness and indulgence of carnal desire brought about by the highly developed material civilization, as well as his yearning and admiration for the rational spirit.
"No Country for Old Men" accurately conveys the social atmosphere that the film intends to show: in the American West in 1980, people are old, drugs are rampant, and crime is rampant; to survive, one must be more cunning and cruel than the enemy.
In the vortex of violence, no one can control their own destiny, and everyone has nothing to rely on in their hearts. Windfall is equal to disaster, but the rules are sometimes nooses: obeying traffic rules almost kills the killer, which makes people laugh and cry.
In the face of the unpredictable killer, the sheriff sneered and covered up his guilt and despair as a law enforcement officer: it's not that I don't understand, this world is too perverted.
The steam bottle (used to kill and unlock, with amazing power) The killer's hairstyle is ridiculous, ridiculous to the point of being ridiculous, similar to Sister Jiang. A black suit symbolizes death.
The police smugly assured their superiors: "No problem, everything is under control."
Immediately strangled by the bottle killer in the most direct way.
After reading countless films, I have never seen a director who can dig out the dark humor in this most terrifying scene: the killer used all his might, sometimes his face was hideous, sometimes his head swayed from side to side, and he leaned to one side, as if caught in Contemplation, again like exhaustion after an orgasm:
Moving slowly, with the composure and coolness of a god of death:
The heart is extremely perverted, and he plays cards completely out of the way, or in other words, he has his own principles and killing logic. Any moving object may become a potential attack target. On the way of driving, I found a crow with no competition in the world, and I also raced against time to give it a shot:
Of course, if you are lucky enough to guess the heads and tails of the coin correctly, he will let you down with some regret.
The coolest is a woman with a stylish hairstyle: "Didn't you hear? I can't tell!"
It's just courting death, how can you be so tough on a guy who is extremely rude?
Everyone thought that the old-fashioned killer was going to kill, but he walked away. Kindness? There was a faint sound of water pumping next door.
End credits: The cool killer suddenly gets into a car accident and escapes in a daze.
Too embarrassed, so embarrassed that you don't believe that he was so cool and stubborn before, to decide the life and death of others by guessing the heads and tails of coins:
The Coen brothers calmly and naturally excavated dark humor from a hard-hearted killer, digging out the unfathomable inner world of the character:
The arrogance of defiance of the laws of the world and the frailty of being human ...
The more chewed this leopard's tail, the more delicious it is, and even think of Hitler's suicide, Japan suffered two atomic bombs, Gaddafi was bayonet blasted chrysanthemum...
There is a line in "Little Soldier Zhang Ga": Don't watch you have a good time today, you are afraid of pulling the list in the future!
A movie of the level of No Country for Old Men is like Camus who wrote The Outsider at the age of 26, a great genius.
