self-immolation after reading

Last year, I watched No Country for Old Men by the Coen Brothers. With the help of the powerful film critics, I understood a little bit about the meaning of the film, and it extended to so many connotations.
And this time the Coen brothers played black humor, and I was somewhat humored. Seeing that many people's film reviews are laughing and laughing, I wonder if I have lost the humorous element.

For the feelings of this drama, the plot is a bit far-fetched, and I don't understand Lao Mei's thoughts. And the scene where Chad got a headshot, I was so shocked that I replayed it over and over to find out that he was indeed dead. There's a lot of foul language in the movie, and the damn old Ozzy Pencox who got fired for drinking is even more fu*k.
what a fu*k it is! Hehe

    Ever since the Coen brothers always wanted to talk about social issues in the movie, the work became boring. Because this is not what they are good at. This story is very extensive and trivial, but apart from the hard performances of a few actors, there is really no more.
