So arty! ...frankly, I wish that all of the characters in this film had just shot themselves in the head about 15 minutes before it began and saved us all the worthless trouble of watching it. We could have been mowing the lawn or cleaning out a closet or something useful. I refuse to get into debating why the folks in this movie did what they did when they did it and all of that......it was an exercise in futility from the first beautifully shot frames. Sad, that.

I watched this film with my son and neither of us had a clue what was suppose to be happening or why it had happened when it had!! How on earth did that win Oscars?

I'm not sure I am qualified to add my 2 cents after reading so much analysis of this film on this blog...but then again, last I checked, movies are for movie-goers and I do belong to that club. I'm in my 40's and I watched the film with my husband and my 20 year old daughter...and all 3 of us were extremely disappointed in the film, and not just in the ending. I'm completely blown away by how many people say they loved it, and even more blown away by the academy awards. I understand that movies are not supposed to all be cookie cutters and perfect endings, and I have read everyone's comments so I realize there was a book and apparently the film followed it closely...that means nothing to most movie goers since the majority does not read the book first. My daughter kept asking me questions about the movie and I had to keep reminding her that I was there at that moment for the first time with her so I was as clueless as she was every step of the way. She's a smart girl, a movie buff, we all are. I guess it's all about what people want from their movie experience and for me I personally don't like paying to be left feeling confused, frustrated, pissed off, and depressed about the future of our society or left wondering why in the hell I just wasted 2 hours of my life. I know all too well what reality is and I've faced enough of that without having to pay two very rich brothers to give me more of it. Some times it feels like the Academy picks the same people over and over and doesn't really care what the average movie goer would think and the critics only care about finding something strange and different that doesn't bore them...what happened to feeling satisfied or having some sense of enjoyment or accomplishment as in, "Wow, I'm glad I saw that movie?". I rarely feel that way anymore. Most people I know agree with me. It's a fact already that Hollywood is struggling to get people to show up in the theaters so maybe they've stopped caring about us and only make films for the critics and academies now. . It saddens me that there are so many new film makers out there who won't be given a chance because the Academies are tied up in the revolving door of films done by previous award winners. I'm positive we're all missing out. If NCFOM was made by a newbie it would not have been given any nods, it makes me ill how much it's being fluffed up undeservedly. As for the writer of the book, Cormac McCarthy, I'm bummed now that I hated this movie so much because I own a book by him that I was planning on reading soon and I'm not looking forward to it as much as I was before. Since all the comments on this board are so sure this film stuck closely to his writing then I don't expect to be a fan of his books.

Make sure you've read the commenting rules before doing so)I loved this movie, and enjoy reading discussions about it (even when it gets a little heated). I liked the fact that Llew is shown to us dead on the pavement after the fact. It surprised me, sideswiped me, just like I'm sure he was sideswiped by the Mexican contingent (because he became so focused on Anton), and just as Anton, always in control, was sideswipped (by his very good friend 'chance & luck) by that car at the intersection. Brilliant! (Type your comment here. Make sure you’ve read the commenting rules before doing so)I loved this movie, and enjoy reading discussions about it (even when it gets a little heated).

I fell that the superb acting and storline made up for the very Small flaws. I think the Coen brothers did a wonderful job of putting this movie together so give them a little credit I have to agrre w/ you to some extent but… I fell that the superb acting and storline made up for the very Small flaws.

This was one of the best movie's of the year. Ya sure a few things are a little messed up but the amazing acting and storyline makes up for it. I Coen brothers did a MAGNIFICENT job putting this movie together so give them some credit. I agree with you for the most part, but i still have to say… This was one of the best movie’s of the year.
