Have you ever watched a movie and at the end wondered "What in the heck was that all about".. I have seen this movie several times and really like it and most everything else the Coen brothers have made and last night it was on AMC so I decided to watch it while cleaning pistols from last Sundays awful range session (story for another day) anyway I was with the plot up until the very end and was trying to see if the assassin "Chigura" kills Llewelyn Moss's wife Carla Jean because I have always thought the T-Bone car crash at the end was when Chigura kills her but thats not what happened at all because it was Chigura that got T-Boned and all busted up...It isn't clear after Chigura leaves Carla Jean's house if he killed her or not but he does look at the bottom of his shoes presumably for blood but they never say....I also never understood the end where Tommy Lee Jones is telling his wife about the dream about his father riding on ahead through the fog with a torch to light a fire to keep them warm when he caught up and if perhaps the whole movie was really just a strange dream he had or is the movie just about the randomness of life and death but the last line is when the wife asks what happened next in the weird dream and he says "I woke up" and the screen goes black....That is one more strange but really cool movie and one day I'm gonna figure it out along with Pulp Fiction which I also like but don't understand either...I hope some of you wiser folks can enlighten me and tell me if I am still missing something or is this just some really bizarre strange movie about good vs evil???...:75:

Carla Jean ate some shotgun blast. Chigura killed her as he said he would.
I saw the movie as about the degredation of the world due to increased drug use, the viciousness of the business and the people involved in it on both sides.
Tommy Lee Jones was portraying a lawman at the end of his run, seeing the future and revolted by what he saw coming.
That's how I saw it.
Llewelyn's clearing of his wet 1911 is a classic in movie gun handling. They had a credible firearms "technical advisor" on the movie set for a change.Judging by today's left wing, looks like Senator Joe McCarthy was right after all. -
good movie, i like Chigurhs gun, awesome silencer.Last edited by apdturbo; 09-21-2011, 11:52 AM.peace on earthComment

Hi tilos, Sorry but my problem is that I know so very little about puters and all those buttons and formatting gizmos and stuff like that....I'm doing good just to try and get things spelled right like Jocko showed me...the reason I don't have an avatar or ever post pictures is because I don't know how...I don't have a smart phone cause I'm not smart enough to use one...I'm an analog man in a high tech high speed digital world and all this technology has run over me and backed up several times to be sure I stay down...Maybe thats why I liked the movie because I'm an old man and don't fit into this world very well....In the future I'll try and make much shorter posts, sorry about that..."

Ripley,
"Llewelyn's clearing of his wet 1911 is a classic in movie gun handling." I was really impressed that they put that in there.
All in all I thought this was great movie until the ending.Mesa, AZ. (5 miles west of Rio Salado Sporstmans Club)

getsome - it's that kinda rectangular key that says "enter" on it. If'n you hit it a few times every now and then it will help.
BTW- themanski also needs to know this!
like all of you guys posts but they are somewhat hard to read
Not sure of anything in that movie! Liked it but......trying to figure it out myself!On the internet, the number of posts do not correlate to actual knowledge.
The notch is supposed to be there as well as the bulge at the front of the frame!

Hold you head up son, ain't no shame in not knowing this computer lingo stuff.
I recall my dad towards the end of his ride asking me if he ought to get him a computer, without forthought I told him Dad, you've had a perfect and admirable life, why screw it up now with a computer. He never got one, don't recollect he ever had a cell phone neither.
He did stay at the Holiday Inn a few nights though.http://bawanna45.wix.com/bawannas-grip-emporium#!

The only thing better than having all the guns and ammo you'd ever need would be being able to shoot it all off the back porch.

my dad, God rest his soul did not know how to turn on or off a compueter, other than pulling the cord. Now I, his smart ass son am about 1 degree better than that. I do not need to pull the plug.
I never turn it off!!!. My PM9 has over 34,000+ rounds through it, and runs much better than an illegal trying to get across our border

thanks for the laughs guys. i know you're being 100% honest with your lack of technology
and i'm not laughing at you directly
i'm laughing at the fact that there are still some folks out there that remember how
things were without all these wonderful advances in technology, to me it brings back happy memories of a seemingly simpler time and i laugh because of how far technology has come(i wire smarthomes and fabricate custom home theatre rooms for a living). I'm not even really old by any standards i just remember when computers were huge and gov't owned.
there is still plenty of country for old men
i cant tell you the last time i used "computer", even now i post and read via iphone. if u can't beat'em join'empeace on earthComment

No Country For Old Men is one of my favorite movies as well, based on the Cormac McCarthy novel by the same name. The movie is a fairly faithful adaptation of the novel, and I actually like the movie better in many respects. The movie ends pretty much the way the novel ends -abruptly. A recurring theme in many of the McCarthy novels is the randomness of violence and the inability of the established order to understand and cope with it.Comment
