No Country For Old Men
Stop, think, and take a look around what would anyone consider doing if they had the chance to receive 2 million would they take it or leave it for the consequence ahead of them. In one of the scenes of the movie Chigurh meets Carla Jean which is Llewellyn's wife and asks her to call the coin toss whether it be heads or tails, while he is standing outside making sure that there is no evidence on the bottom of his shoes which indicates the deed has been done. “No Country for Old Men” was published in 2007 and it has an ultimate rating which would be rated R due to the extreme violence held throughout the movie. Joel and Ethan Coen brothers made this film. This movie is about Moss attempting to make $2 million his own and take it for granted. In this movie we meet Moss’ wife Carla Jean (Kelly MacDonald); an arrogant bounty hunter named Carson Wells (Woody Harrelson); the business man(Stephen Root) the man that hires Carson to track the money that was investigated during a drug deal and however many store clerks and hotels that were very lucky to meet Chigurh. One long day while out hunting, Moss finds an after math of a drug deal, however he …show more content…
A scene in the movie that was important and could be a really good motivational scene for an audience to want to watch would have to be when Chigurh walks into the gas station and ask a question about where he comes from and Chigurh won’t let him it go. He then draws more attention and goes deeper into the conversation with the old man. He then continues to ask the man questions and then eventually Chigurh asks the man “what’s the most you’ve ever lost in a coin toss and the old man looks at Chigurh, so the old man answers but he is aware of the fate that will happen in the

    I completely disagree with Keats and his idea that the movie, No Country for Old Men, ends happily as Sheriff Bell tells the story of his dream to his wife. Keats calls it a story of Bell’s “self forgiveness” as he realizes that the goals he had were way too great for him to handle. The viewers can obviously tell that Sheriff Bell looks completely defeated and extremely old in the last scene of the movie. His wife antagonizes his daily plans as a retired man but eventually lets him tell his sad stories of the dreams he had that night. As Bell tells her of his dreams, he becomes well aware that he will never meet the heroic stature of his Dad and he will probably never find his way to Heaven to meet his Dad because he is certain that God will never make His way into Tom Bell’s life.…

    Twelve Angry Men is a play about a young boy on trial for murdering his father. If the boy is found guilty, he will be sentenced to death. The jury men are very aware of this fact, most are perfectly fine with sending this boy to die as one man searches for the empathy of his jury peers. One by one the jury begins to sway toward the not guilty plea, as every fact thrown into conversation gets disproved. Now, one lone juror faces not the pressure of his peers but the pressure of his emotional attachment to the case to see that the boy be punished. This finally leads to Juror #3’s inevitable surrender of not guilty.…

    Birth of a Nation

    Racism has been around since the beginning of time. Basically if you had a skin tone darker than the shade of white, you were inferior. Times have now changed, but there are remnants of this subject everywhere, even in film. The movie Birth of a Nation is considered one of the greatest films of all time, even with these themes. AMC’s Filmsite even has it listed within the 100 Greatest Films of All Time. Another movie with the some of the same themes is Blazing Saddles. Blazing Saddles does not have the same stature as Birth of a Nation, but it does deserve to be higher in the canon. I do believe that Blazing Saddles does not have the same stature because it is a comedy with crude humor and because it has a black sheriff as the protagonist.…

    Man of La Mancha

    People choose to live their lives their own way and some of these people end up unhappy, and feel that their life is not worth living. The choice a person makes on how they want to live their life, ultimately determines their future. A person should choose to live in an illusion which leads to hope, rather then reality which leads them to despair. The musical play "Man of La Mancha", written by Dale Wasserman, is a perfect example of this because in the play, there are characters who live in illusion and characters who live in reality. Illusion leads a person to hope, and hope gives a person something to live for. One persons hope can inspire another to change and to believe. Reality can lead a person to despair, which can lead that person to depression, second guessing themselves and their lives. In the play, some characters go through the transformation from reality to illusion which betters their lives.…

    Mitch Albom once said, “Death ends a life, not a relationship.” This quote means that if one lover passes away in a relationship, their life may be over, but their relationship with their other half is not and never will be and that love will go on forever for the lovers even if one is no longer with the other in life. This quote is proven true by John Green’s The Fault In Our Stars. John Green uses the literary elements: symbolism, theme and conflict to prove that death does not end a relationship.…

    Imagine having to decide a young boy’s fate who is accused of murder in the first degree. This is the case in “Twelve Angry Men”, the prize-winning drama written by Reginald Rose. Some jurors address relevant topics, while others permit their personal “judgments” from thoroughly looking at the case. After hours of deliberation, the jurors reached the decision that the boy is not guilty, due to the fact of reasonable doubt. While few jurors are motivated by their respect and determination for the justice system, Juror 10 is motivated by his personal prejudice.…

    Man of La Mancha

    Is it possible for people to change, or more significantly, is it possible for a person to be reborn? The process of change is one which brings with it many conflicts both internally and externally, all in all, it is a very lengthy and demanding process. To change a person's beliefs, values and basic underlying core may seem like a mere impossibility, but what the play, "The Man of La Mancha" shows us, is that it can be done. This fascinating play brings up numerous themes and messages and one of the most prevalent ones is that nothing is impossible, especially with regards to change. It is seen that the impact of Don Quixote's idealism on many character's lives, most notably Aldonza's is extremely potent. In a sense, it is seen that Don Quixote is able to take a used piece of trash and recycle it into a brand new valuable object, he is able to make something out of nothing. Don Quixote and his unorthodox idealistic ways is the catalyst which sparks a profound transformation in Aldonza's life which drastically changes her outlooks and philosophies, ultimately changing her into Dulcinea.…
