No Country for Old Men

Director: Coen Brothers
Year: 2007
Genre: Drama/thriller

no country for old men is a film about an average trailer-trash man who stumbles upon millions of dollars, and a psychopathic killer who is trying to find him. the film mainly follows these two characters but there is an interesting side plot about a county sherrif who is investigating the crime scene where the money was found.
The narrative in this film is interesting, as i believe the Coen brothers designed it to be. it is a linear rarrative in that the story procede's at a steady pace, and no part of it is repeated from another persons point of view. however the story does document a plot but from three differet perspectives. at a first impression the story line is confusing, but the directors have cleverly asnwered some of the viewers questions about one plotline, in another.
however the part of the narrative that i think is interesting is that the plot lines of both characters but the sherrif, are very directly linked in places like gun fights and phone calls. but the sherrif never meets either of the other main characters but is still linked to them indirectly. for example the sherrif never has any direct contact with the other two main chracters. but he is linked to the trailer trash man by his wife asking the sherrif for help.
eventually the man is killed, ironically not by the psychopath and the plotline ends with his wife. the other two plotlines are not tied up as both characters end up not completing their goals. this film in brilliantly made and although it doesn't provide the viewer satisfaction of knowing all that went on, or a happy ending, it still has significantly meaningfull veins running through it.
