1 thought on “The movie "Old Nothing"”

  1. This new film of Cohen revolves around three core figures. Anton, a killer, but he is not a perverted murder, he has his own outlook on life and principles, and he firmly believes that his principles are the best, because this principle allows him to be spared in this crazy world. Moss, a veteran who greedy for money, because of $ 2 million in a hunting, but had to admit that he was a smart person, and the experience of war helped him and Anton for a while. Tom, a true old man, and a policeman from the police family, so he is accustomed to violence, but in the face of this more and more absurd world, he has to "retire" and stay away from this "country not for for Old man ".

    The first third of the movie is centered on Anton's chase of MOSS as its core, highlighting the calmness and cruelty of Anton. Before MOSS returned from Mexico to the United States, Cohen showed us for us. The murder process again and again is the confrontation between ANTON and MOSS. The most clever treatment of this movie is that Cohen has the climax of the movie -Mexican, and the final duels of Anton and MOSS are all omitted. All the violent emotions that have been accumulated in front of them are all closed back without broke out. Therefore, the end of the story is particularly blurred, and we can only push the incident process from many subsequent details.
    1. When Tom arrived, I saw a few Mexicans fled. Mexicans who died in the room were "gentlemen" who helped MOSS's mother -in -law mentioned before.
    2. Moss's wife and mother arrived at night, and Tom shook their heads at them.
    3. Tom and a local old policeman eat and chat, mentioning that "killing madness" not only killed Mexicans, but also killed the front desk waiter and a veteran next door.
    4. Tom returned to the scene of the murder alone, and almost negotiated with Anton again, but Anton fled from the window. TOM found that the ventilation of the room was opened, and there was a 10 -point coin on the ground.
    5. Anton found MOSS's wife and said that Moss changed his life with his wife's life, and all he could do was to let her guess the coin.
    moss's plan is almost the same as that he went to the hotel for the first time. He hid the money in the ventilation of a room and lived next door. But this time Anton found MOSS first, MOSS tried to protect his life by selling his wife, but Anton would definitely not let him go, so he killed him, but the conditions he had agreed to be canceled because of MOSS's cunning. After that, he went to the Mexican's room to shoot a gun battle. The Mexicans fled, but the police also came. So Anton can only return to the crime scene to get money at night. Then he went to kill Moss's wife again, because she was unlucky to guess the coin.

    "Even the struggle between humans and animals cannot be determined." This is what Cohen told us through "Blood Maze", "Ice and Snow Storm" and "Men who were absent". "Event uncertainty" has also become the theme of "Old Nothing". And when a person is older, the more he feels that his ability to control the world is so weak, and the world is so absurd. There is no society, what country is suitable for the elderly, because the elderly's understanding of the world is more thorough but more weak. So TOM's uncle told him that "you can't control the incident, that's useless." Then, the funeral of MOSS's mother -in -law hinted that the death of the elderly was their ultimate place.

    Although MOSS's wife refused to guess the coin, the killer finally killed her in the end. There are two basis for this inference: 1 Anton Chigurh deliberately see if there is blood on his shoes when he goes out, suggesting that Carla Jean is dead. Shoes with blood This echoes the previous scene, that is, when Anton shot and killed the Carson Wells (the killer with a hat) in the hotel room, MOSS called Wells, and when Anton answered the phone, the blood on the floor on the floor was on the floor. When staying at the feet, Anton put his feet on the bed to avoid his shoes from being stained;
    2 Anton left Carla Jean's house, the car driving before the crash was not to intercept and grab the installation on the highway before he came to the road to seize the installation. The truck full of chicken cage, he drove the carla Jean's car. This car was the car stopped on the empty space outside the house after she returned from the funeral.
    So it can be inferred from these two points that Carla Jean is dead.
    The appreciation is a good movie Oscar is not in vain !!
