No Country for Old Men (2007)



Oscar for best movie in 2007, a movie about the US that looks so far away from our pseudo-civillized Europe, at least that of the town halls we know. May be in the suburban areas, in our ghettos, what's going on might be similar to all that free violence, the greed, the lust for money, the guns, drugs, the desillusion of lives.

As a movie I hated it. As a portrait of the border areas between USA and Mexico, and of it's social state of things, I loved it, specially the fact that it does not have an happy ending. The ending is open, as is reality. Will it get worse ? Can it get any worse than this ?
