aging justice

"No Country For Old Men" can be used for quiz questions, and it has aroused endless imagination in the audience. It's a must-have for an American blockbuster, but it's not enough to capture the audience's heart. Therefore, it must not be ignored that it is adapted from the work of the same name by the American literary master Cormac McCarthy. There must be something unusual about this. If understood correctly, it points out the fate of human beings, that is, it considers the living conditions of human beings. In this sense, it is almost a literary display of Nietzsche's prophecy. Nietzsche said that the fate of human beings is either to be the last man (a person who has no heart and soul), or to become a superman (beyond good and evil, only the will to power). Simple, restrained wide shots, without too much blood, have already chilled us. This is the chill from the marrow, it is the rhythm in the depths of the desolate world. The old man chose to retire, chose to live in memories, and even lost his last patience with God. This is the age of speaking with fists and tricks, it has nothing to do with justice.
