Re: RARA-AVIS: Re: NO COUNTRY FOR OLD MEN, the movie

I think the movie disappoints some because the first 2 acts work so well as a thriller that the audience is expecting it to resolve itself the way a conventional movie thriller does. but then it disavows that intent and becomes its rumination on whatever, and it's clear that being a thriller was never the intent of the storyteller. I know I was surprised when the movie took this turn, not having read the book. but the film didn't end at that point so I went with where it was going. and the film has stuck with me
