No Country for Old Men

How did the Mexicans find the first hotel?

Better question, why were 2 of them in the bathroom at the same time: coke, sex, water conservation?

You don't think they had a tracker as well?

They were hiding from Anton.

I love this, it happens all the time. See, people like you who ask these questions are idiots, one of the reasons that the book and film is good, is that it leaves unanswered questions in the readers and viewers mind. For some reason the questions that you don't know the answers to, are the most fundementally simple ones.

Stick to Michael Bay films.

nap time.

I watched this when I was dead tired, but didn't his mother-in-law give it away, or at least we're lead to believe that she inadvertently had something to do with it?

Chilly has a valid point, people that need every single facet of a story spoon-feed to them, often don't like or get movies that expect the viewer to think for him/herself.

A recent perfect example was Cloverfield, did you see the clownery that went on in that thread? The complaints about the film were asinine.

well, isnt that what these threads are for?

That's not a very swell attitude. How will they ever attain general knowledge of cinematics if they just stick to the basic blockbuster? You should be encouraging them to look deeper into films, not to dumb down their experiences by watching films constructed by the likes of Mr. Bay.

I guess they could be, still doesn't make Chilly's point any less valid.

his point is just crying over someone commenting on the movie, questioning why certain events happened. valid? hardly.

No, that wasn't his point, not even a ballpark assessment. Did he come off a bit harsh in the manner he presented his point? Yes. The point stands though.

thats the thing, why so harsh? why the insults? Oh, thats right, he's British.

But doesn't the fact that they watched No Country For Old Men and got caught up on the logistical details, in a fallible way (yes, it isn't the best example), prove that they don't appreciate anything more? I'm all for the more intelligent films produced getting the publicity they deserve, but Chillmeistergen seems to have a point, as well as being pretty funny about it at the same time.

I shall respond with dignity and say that you simply do not understand the great British sense of humour. 🙂

I'm pretty sure she does. In the book she tells the Mexicans what hotel that her and Carla Jean are headed to.

That thread at least made me laugh.

Not a very good plan.

Anton: "He gave the mexicans a reciever."

Accountant: "He thinks...he thought...the more people looking..."

Anton: "Thats foolish. You pick the one right tool."

It's not up to me to encourage them, they should re watch it, or maybe even pick up the book, that'll give them more insight than I can. If they don't have enough interest in cinema to do that, then I'd rather they stick to watching shit films which they can understand, rather than practically insult a film, by asking questions which suggest that this is some kind of flaw on the film maker's part.

It's not dumbing down their experiences, it's giving them films that are more their level.
