| do u think 'no country for old men' deserved an oscar?  | | | | well i was a lot disappointed after watching the oscar-winning movie, 'the departed'. it turned out to be just a mediocre movie with over the top usage of the 'F' word. and the next year they award no country for old men with the oscar and oh boy, didn't this movie sucked or what? u've got the psycho killer on the loose searching for his money, a guy who has stolen the money and keeps running from him and various other people who just fall victim to the villain. the plot is pretty plain and there was a little bit of thrill in the movie, the madman's weapon was crazy but then there wasn't anything else to actually enjoy. it had horrible dialogue and sound, not because i found it hard to follow the southern accent, but most of the dialogues were merely murmurs and whispers that were inaudible even at high volume, and then there would be a gunshot and i would find myself lowering the volume again. i still dont understand the movie at all... is there some big detail that i am missing??? here's the story that i understood.. two mobs involved in gun fight all gangsters ending up dead leaving behind a bag full of money a passerby finds the bag the bad guy is furious because of the missing money bad guy searches for the bag using the tracker installed in the bag several innocent victims in the end the villain kills off the person who has the bag, also his family is dead the villain is involved in a road accident and makes it out alive the sheriff is talking to an old woman and then... WTF!? the end!!??@@##$$%%^^ and there were a whole lot of boring scenes involving the endless talk/murmurs between the police/sheriff or whatever... how did u find the movie? and can u please explain me the movie if u have understood it? =P | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | |

| | Oh. Thank you very much 060157! This is the first time i read a post about "No country for old men" and it`s exactly how i feel about this movie. I cant explain why so many people find this movie so "good". In my opinion it`s not good. It`s just a boring waste of time. I can`t understand how this movie did win the Oscars. The whole movie was like a big loop with no ending. Kill...then...boring talking...kill...boring talking...and so on. By the way, i really like the other work of Ethan and Joel Coen, but this movie ??? I didn`t understood parts of the movie either. Maybe no one understands it and they just dont want to confess they dont understand. Thats maybe the reason why the movie won the prices =) | | | | | | | 060157 (762)

| | yeah maybe it all went above the critics heads as well and so they thought that this is a great movie. hell, the villain got the best supporting actor award as well... i don't really see what was so amazing about his performance (or his character). good to see someone agreeing. | | | | | | | Credit Agencies Hate Him Man Adds 126 Points To His Credit Score Using This 1 Easy Tip. www.secretsofyourcreditscore.com | add comment | | | |

| | I did not think it was a bad movie... The only confusing part was the title... I cannot relate the title to the movie. | | | | | | | 060157 (762)

| | i didn't really understand what happened in the end =S and when the first time i heard the title, i thought that this movie would probably be about some old men being mistreated in old-age houses (or whatever they are called). | | | | | | | Local Coupons 1 ridiculously huge coupon a day.
