The point is there is no point.
If after seeing No Country For Old Men your reaction was “Huh?!” rest assured that that is the point. Insofar as the Coens’ movie has a point. Which it doesn’t necessarily have. Whatever. No Movie For The Incurious, in Emotional Weather Report today in the Star. If you haven’t seen the movie, which is now showing at Greenbelt 3 and Glorietta 4, do not, I repeat, do not read the column, as it contains many spoilers. Watch the movie, which really must be seen on the big screen for the cinematography and for Josh Brolin at maximum tallness, because we just realized Barbra’s stepson is hot even with that hair. Of course strange hair is a hallmark of the Coens’ work, and it reaches its apex with Anton Chigurh’s.

Sort of a spoiler warning:
The point, if there is one, is in the title. For old geezers like the Tommy Lee Jones character, the world has turned; this is no longer the America they know. Crime has changed. His kind is now useless and helpless. That’s the reason for the epilogue.

Hey, I didn’t know Teddy had a blog! Teddy is a classmate and friend of my best friend Gail who died in 1999. If you ever commit a capital crime, you want Ted defending you. If I had any powers over the Eheads I’d bat for a UP centennial reunion, but I had no influence when I was working with them, and I have even less influence now haha.
