I still ruminating over this film I saw 11/23. I enjoyed the movie. Some observations however:
- This is not a Julia Roberts style romantic comedy. There is no happy ending, nor is there a conveniently sewn ending.
- This is, to be sure, a movie I'd like to see again. I am certain there are pieces I missed initially that I will appreciate later.
- Roger Ebert wrote "No Country for Old Men" is as good a film as the Coen brothers, Joel and Ethan, have ever made, and they made "Fargo." Well, this is definitely not Fargo. This a a brooding film. It is a very different film than Fargo. I think it's kind of hard to compare this to Fargo.
- The ending kind of reminded me of The Sopranos finale.
- I've not read any Cormac McCarthy. I will however.
- The movie would have ended differently had Chuck Norris been involved.
