No Country for Old Men (2007,  R)
No Country for Old Men
Another Coen Brothers disturbing motion picture!!!
Really well filmed, great, really great screenplay, suspense and its a stunning achievement in storytelling.
Really violent, funny at times but poetic.
a smart motion picture that deservers to be called a masterpiece.
ps: Javier Bardem, wow! what a performance!!
Here is my vision of the film:
well, in my view this film is about the failure of maxismo. every single character that has the old mentality that says lets kill the dragon and save the princess ends up in failure.
And the only charecters of the film that does not have that mentality ends up ok ( the guy at the gas station,
tommy lee charecter and javier charecter at the end when e asks the kids for help)
No country for old men is not about the josh brolin charecter or about the javier one, its about the tommy lee one cuz he is tired of that old mentality.

Le Scaphandre et le Papillon (The Diving Bell and the Butterfly)
How can i express myself after a masterpiece like this one?
How can a motion picture can capture your atention with a story like this one?
Simple, this is a lesson to hollywood about how to direct and write in an original way!
There are miracles cuz director Julian Schnabel and screenwriter Ronald Harwood made one ;)

P.S This one is on my favorite movies list!!
