No Country For Old Men, matinee, me and my brother Chris. I tell you it was Chris and I amongst a throng of senior citizens and the room was packed. Throughout the first twenty minutes of the film more elderly movie-goers kept coming in and their very loud attempt to find a seat was comical. A more apt name for the film may have been, “No Seats For Old Men.”
Anyways, I finally had a chance to see this movie. Wow. No Country For Old Men offers a powerful look at the age-old conflict between youth and their elders (a facsimile of our movie experience). You witness the emergence of disturbing new ideas and their attempt to usurp the way that things have always been. The emotion of the film is palpable and there is no break in the action. Go see it.
EDIT: Now that is has won an Oscar for Best Picture, there is even more reason to check it out. Avoid the matinee.
