I have only watched "No Country For Old Men" once, and I don't remember the plot clearly. I haven't seen many movies, and I've never written a movie review. The reason why I want to write it now is: I read through many movie reviews and everyone said that Chigurh is cold, emotionless, etc. I don't hate watching thrillers, and I love aesthetic thrillers even more, but I always hate brutalists. As a woman, when everyone pays attention to the mainstream direction, they pay more attention to those irrelevant details, and then speculate whether the director is concentrating or pretending to be B according to the meaning of these details. Watching "No Country For Old Men", first, because it is an Oscar-winning film, which guarantees the quality to a certain extent; second, I don't know anything about this movie, which is very attractive to me. I don't like movies with familiar plots and faces. I watched a movie, and I hoped to watch it with ignorance, to look at a work without any influence from the outside world, in order to gain shock and surprise, as well as my own views. It's good, the actors don't know each other, and the Coen brothers don't know each other at all. The movie begins with an inexplicable murderous maniac, followed by a desolate scene with stationary cars and corpses scattered across the board. In an instant, I think of "Wolf River" I watched at 3 o'clock in the middle of the night. The name of that movie made me mistakenly think it was a large animal survival movie. After watching it, I realized that it was not the case at all. I was very nervous after watching it, and then I was depressed for a long time. Since then, it has affected Australia and the desolate areas. resistance. But think that the Oscars won't let such a violent film win, otherwise the world will change. That's how I started to take courage and read on. Until the end, it really wasn't frightened. There are 3 characters in the movie, Chigurh, Moss, Bell. At the beginning, I thought the protagonist was Bell, and told the glorious life of a policeman, who finally got nothing after getting old. Later, I thought it was Moss, and finally escaped after a series of open and secret battles. After seeing it, I realized that the key character was Chigurh, who did not attract my attention at the beginning. Three lines, I almost directly ignore Bell, he's sober but doing nothing. The dream at the end attracted a lot of attention, and when I saw it, I knew it was coming to an end (because I watched a lot of Japanese movies with inexplicable endings), and I didn't realize how much sublimation this dream had. Of course, his role is also indispensable, which is a high-level trick. Moss caught my attention at first, but he died unjustly, and the director deliberately downplayed the process. Moss did not become the heroic example of ideal individualism. Chigurh walked away slowly, as expected, otherwise it would be too cliché and unstyled. Chi There are two things about gurh that impress me, which are also not mentioned in many film reviews: 1. When shopping at a grocery store (what word should be used to describe that store?), the talkative boss once made Chigurh murderous . Originally thought that the owner of the grocery store would die, but the turning point was: the owner said that the house he lived in used to belong to his father-in-law. Chigurh forced him to admit that he was a soft eater, and was finally satisfied after getting a positive answer before he took out a coin and asked him to guess. At that time, I guessed that this might be in line with the theme of the movie. The owner of the grocery store eating soft rice can be regarded as an "old man", which moved Chigurh, a desperado who had nowhere to go. My imagination seems to be a little too far-fetched, and the plot behind it proves that this is a very authentic crime drama. After the boss guessed right, Chigurh did not allow him to mix the coin with other coins, insisting that it was a "lucky coin" and should be kept well. Holy crap, don't you think it's so hypocritical and feminine? Just like that weird hairstyle. If I am grateful for that silver coin, I will naturally keep it well, and there is no need for a murderer to remind me. So, from this point of view, Chigurh himself valued the meaning of "kill" more than those he killed. 2. I hate psycho killers who abuse and kill for fun, and I don't think Chigurh kills for fun. He never tortured the slain, neatly, and didn't fiddle with corpses - I'm comparing it to "Wolf River." He's just mentally driving people out of breath. He has his own inner principles. For example, he didn't kill the fat landlady who refused to reveal Moss's work address, and gave the grocer's owner, Moss's wife, a chance to guess coins. Maybe he still respects women. He also doesn't choose victims because of a certain trait, like "Perfume". He was cold, but not twisted. His face was always calm and expressionless. But in my subjective opinion, there is always a feeling of melancholy and desolation, and it seems that I will sigh unconsciously. So I guessed that there must be a warm outlet in his dark heart. There are a few more points. Seeing that everyone has been arguing all the time, I feel that there is no need to argue, so I also write about it. 1. Is Moss going to deliver water? Yes. He himself was entangled in whether to deliver water or not, couldn't sleep in the middle of the night, and was annoyed by doing this. He got the water directly from the tap, and when he arrived at the scene, he opened the car door to see if the person was still there. 2. Did Chigurh kill Moss's wife. have. When he went out, he raised his foot to look at the soles of his shoes. In fact, I don't think this action is necessary for Chigurh himself. He can watch it at the murder scene, and there is no need to go outside the door and raise his feet exaggeratedly. It can only be said that the director arranged. There was one more detail hinted at earlier. Chigurh was still on the phone with Moss when the opportunist (sorry I don't remember his name) was killed, blood came and Chigurh put his feet up on the edge of the bed. Overall, the movie is pretty mainstream. It looks good, but it's not perfect. I don't think it's important to understand or not. I don't understand a lot of things. What happened to the milk, and where did I see that the building was missing a floor? How did Moss and those people die? Why didn't Chigurh kill Bell... But he habitually didn't think about the past and pursued it seriously, otherwise he would really be entangled in watching Japanese movies. What I don't understand is why a person like Chigurh is chasing that box of money. Probably also out of principle: it's mine, and I'm going to get it, even if it's just a box of garbage.
