It can be said that the monologue of the old policeman at the beginning and the end is very good for the movie.
At the beginning, the old policeman said: "There is this boy i sent to the electric chair in Huntsville here a while back. He killed a fourteen-year -old girl. Papers said it was a crime out of passion but he told me there wasn't any passion to it. He'd been planning to kill someone for about as long as he could remember." A boy who has been since he can remember Planning to kill people, this is crazy and incomprehensible to this old man, this may be the young man's world that the old policeman understands, absurd and extreme.
He added: "I always knew you had to be willing to die to even do this job. But I don't want to push my chips forward and go out and meet something I don't understand." For him, the outside world is something he cannot understand, Continuing to do the job he's been doing since he was 25 may bring him some comfort.

However, when he's overwhelmed by mad and inhuman criminals, he may be the only solace in that

At the end, in his dream, he dreamed of his fathers, holding moonlight torches on the cold and dark mountain road. He always misses
, even these fathers are in the dark Gave him his only hope,"I knew that whenever I got there he'd be there."
These are all the strongest explanations for the title "no country for old men"
