no country for old man, is not that great

[polishmike]

watch I'm Not There, it is so surreal yet so modern at the same time, totally new twist on the biopic..

I saw it, didn't really like it. I guess it was ok.

i got a neg rep for disliking the movie.

Out of every thing mentioned in this topic, All got out of it was thugs n brand harmony. very clever.

I watched it last night and I'm still blown away at how beautifully it was shot. Wow.

Also, I've disliked Tommy Lee Jones in practically everything he's ever been in but he was superb and I liked the ending. Javier Bardem walking away from the car crash and Tommy Lee Jones reciting his dream after the dialogue with his brother in the preceeding scene cemented the idea of personal faith and survival that ran through out the film. For me, anyway.

i liked the ending as well.

i wish people would stop with the "best film of the decade" proclamations for films...time is the only thing that will be able to tell.

also,

casey affleck in The Assassination of Jesse James by the Coward Robert Ford > javier bardem in No Country for Old Men

...for best supporting actor...

the cinematography was also better in Assassination (but both films were done by the same dude).

Haven't seen The assassination of Jesse James ... Will get out and take a look at it when I can.

no country for old man > munich

[fade to black2]

i liked no country for old man a lot....probably my favorite film of last year. "Lust, Caution" is the most overrated movie of 2007. I still think Brokeback Mountain is the pinnacle of Lee's career thus far.

No Country for Old Men was the best film of 2007, better than There Will Be Blood. I've yet to see I'm Not There and The Diving Bell and the Butterfly though. Also, Cormac McCarthy IS one of the greatest living authors.

Whoa whoa, no one mentions 3:10 to Yuma, what gives?! I think that easily ranks up there in terms of best films and it had one of the most satisfying ending I've ever seen.

No Country for Old Men is a great film though.

Being someone who has spent a fair part of my life around the types of surroundings and people conveyed in the film added a new dimension to it for me. Rural, 'western' America was portrayed perfectly (not that this was the main draw of the film). I thought it was excellent.

3:10 To Yuma was decent, but forgettable.

I liked this film quite abit and the experience of watching it was unique (i hated cliched plots and such)

I felt it wrapped up nicely at the end, but it is not a film i'm dying to re-visit. Once was enough for me.
