Veritas the ending is open to interpretation (if youre talking about tommy lee jones's dream). I got this off the net and share the same interpretation:

The last few scenes in the movie really sum up the movie's intent: I think that Sheriff Bell realizes that crime (evil) in our society will always be among us. A lawman (like himself and his father and his grandfather) can spend his (or her) whole life chasing "the bad guys" across the desert, in the dark and the cold until they are old and worn out, and then they must concede to a younger, more energetic and savvy police team to step in. That's how most crimes are effectively solved--even back 20-some years ago when this story supposedly took place. Remember when Bell's friend Ellis asks Bell, "Why are you quittin'?" Bell says, "I feel over-matched". In other words, he struggles to face the sheer enormity of the crimes he is attempting to thwart. Ellis replies: "This country is hard on people. Can't stop what's comin'. It ain't all waiting on you. That's vanity." Again, the idea is that Bell is too old for the job at hand, i.e., fighting unstoppable evil and feeling that he should still be chasing Chigurh.

I CONCUR. THANKS.

CALL IT.

Pretty obvious the message behind the dream, imo.

No Country was a bit anti-climactic, but nearly a perfect movie. V for Vendetta. Eternal Sunshine. The Departed. Star Trek. Lars and the Real Girl. Good Dick. I Heart Huckabees. Watchmen. Dark Knight. Assassination of Jesse James. Inglorious Bastards. 500 Days of Summer. The Prestige. Stranger Than Fiction.

When I watched no country at at first i was like fuck you wheres the final showdown but then realised that the ending made it into a classic rather than an average flick. V for vendetta i concur with ^

the departed was so fucking dope

never see no country for old men before

Ronic · 07-17-2013, 06:45 PM

Personally didnt care for V for Vendetta, Donnie Darko or Watchmen. Assassination of Jesse James tho has some of the best acting you'll find in a movie, period.

Geno · 07-17-2013, 06:48 PM

Gran torrino gotta be up there tho

Utmost · 07-17-2013, 06:48 PM

The Prestige
The Departed

Few of those are a bit over that 10 year period, but yeah, Oldboy for sure if we're talking 2000 on.

I can see how Watchmen could maybe be a little too preachy/slow style wise, for some, but how can you not like V for Vendetta? I'm curious, because I generally just think anyone who doesn't like it is just dumb.

Gran Torino was pretty good. Kill Bill was in '03. American Psycho in 2000. I personally loved 3:10 to Yuma, but I wouldn't call it an amazing movie. Gangs of New York was '02. Bourne movies in the early 2000's. Up in the Air was a good movie is you're a bit older. A lot of people don't like Pandorum, but it's one of the better Sci-Fi/Horror's in the last decade. Saw was '04. LOTR, early 2000's. Walk the Line was solid. Cast Away, 2000. The Aviator was really good. Little Miss Sunshine. Vanilla Sky and A Beautiful Mind in '01. Troy in '04.

Lots of solid movies, but nothing in that No Country class. I liked Kill Bill and American Psycho more than No Country, but that's more about taste than the advanced sciences of what makes a 'film' good lol

Geno · 07-17-2013, 08:32 PM

I'm gonna have to peep this no country shit. Thought I saw it but my memory bank is drawing a blank on it. Wtf. Its getting to much hype for me not to view it. Gonna check it out

Ronic · 07-17-2013, 08:32 PM

V for Vendetta was just hours of wankery yo. Coulda had the same concept and made a real serious deep fuckin classic film outta it, but they went for this flashy sell some tickets at the box office gimmickery shit... so you can use a lot of words wit v in it, so what. Id rather you say it with some fuckin prose about you than that wankish gimmickery shit. I liked the base idea of the movie, but the way they did it felt like it was aiming for popcorn enthusiasts and 12 yr olds man
