Heyhey,
So I just watched the movie "No Country For Old Men" after reading so many good things about it. The movie also appears in many peoples alltime top 10.
And to be honest, I don't get it why it is considered such a great movie. I thought is was pretty good but not really special or anything. So maybe someone can explain to me what you liked about the movie and why it is considered one of the best movies of the century (so far)?
I know there are some "hidden" messages in it but does this instantly make it an awesome movie? The villain was portrayed very well, it was original and the chasing/fighting scenes were pretty intense. Unfortunately I didn't really care that much about the main character Llewelyn and neither about Tommy Lee Jones' character. The story wasn't that original, the soundtrack wasn't that great. What am I missing here? I thought the actors did they job very well but the writing didn't particularly appeal to me. The dialog, the cinematography and suspense were great in most of the scenes though. My opinion about movies is that it is a form of art and when I believe a movie isn't that great, while critics praise it, I believe I must lack some knowledge or understanding.
My point is, what distinguishes this movie from so many others? Why should I change my thoughts about it? By the way, I'm not saying it is a bad movie or anything but I just don't get the hype around it.
