Re: No Country For Old Men
Robert Bresson said that one should feel a movie before thinking about it.
Having watched No Country for Old Men, I felt left out in the cold and emotionally disattached in the end. The film is technically brilliant, and has some great moments of tension and characterization in the first half, but becomes convoluted in the second half. And since McCarthy has praised the film as being faithful to the book, I will have to blame the original story for the film's flaws.
I'm on board with Andrew Sarris, Andyfox, and Dominic on this one.
