No Country for Old Men

No Country for Old Men

 

In the film No Country For Old Men we have 3 main characters. These are characters are the villain, Sheriff and the normal citizen. We start with the normal citizen we see that he is a hunter who is chasing after dear and trying to kill them for food or to sell for money. He hits one of the dear but it leaves a blood trail from where it ran. He follows the blood and it leads him to some cars that have been left alone. As he approaches them he sees a lot of dead bodies and investigates around the area. He then notices a lot of drugs in the back of the car. So he would think it was a drug deal that has gone wrong. He then is able to find another man who is dead holding a briefcase full of money. He then takes the money and hides. This is when the villain comes into the story. The villain is a hired hit man who is going to try and kill the citizen. The citizen is confused on how the hit man is finding him and following him. He then notices that there is a tracker inside the briefcase. He disposes of the tracker but as he does this he notices that the hit man is inside the building with him. So the citizen prepares himself and sit at the door holding a modified shotgun. This then leads to the action scene this is just them shooting at each other from different places both of them got hit once by each others guns. So after this the citizen runs away in a car and the villain kills the other man in the car with him. After this the citizen just hides and he crosses over the border to try and get away but again this does not work and he gets tracked by the villain and the private eye/ detective and the private eye was killed by the villain. Also the villain gave the citizen a chance to save his wife but he did not take the opportunity and ended up getting himself killed and his wife killed. He hid the money in some bushes but went back to get the briefcase and got killed while he had it. At the end we do not know who had the money. This is because we saw Mexicans running from the scene of the crime but also the lock was blasted in like how the villain always does to locks. So we do not know who killed him or who had the money. The Sheriff didn't do to much through the film but at the end was talking about his dream. The MacGuffin was when all the characters cared about the money but the audience wasn't to bothered about that we just wanted to know what would happen in the end and who would die and who would actually live.
