No Country for Old Men
 

Can someone please try to explain the ending to me. Am I stupid, was there some cryptic ending? Or just a "bad guy gets away" ending?

I loved the rest of the movie but the end was reallly dissapointing. Help me not hate this movie, please.

Second to last link under the questions helps a lot:

Thank you. See that's what I got from the ending and then I started second guessing myself.

that helped me out a bit too. kinda de-mystified it for me though.

Thanks for the link, that helped answer some questions i had as well

Amping on seeing this now. Endings have to be explained, killer.
Gonna watch some of their other flicks again first. Been awhile since I was into their work.

I didn't see it as "de-mystified", more as awesomely cryptic.

I would have liked the entire movie a lot more if I didn't have to see it with my family. We have movie nights and it was my turn to pick. Hadn't seen this one, Oscar Winner etc. so it was a pretty obvious choice. Unfortunately, I had to either explain or defend it the entire time which took away from the epic-ness of the entire movie.

Loved this movie, but IMO There Will Be Blood was far better. I'm not TOO upset that No Country won for Best Picture, but IMO There Will Be Blood was more deserving.

Oh well, No Country is still fucking badass.

I don't really compare the two. but if I had too then Iwould take No country for old men.

I just compare them because they were both nominated in a lot of the same categories at the Oscar...yes, very different movies and both are AWESOME in their own way.

This is definately the best movie of 2007. That might be why it won "Best Picture." I actualyl did not get the ending much either. I guess it was just supposed to be a depressing movie where the bad guy gets away. A lot of movies end like that, though.... where the bad guy gets away.

I read the book and did not really understand it at all, except that Chigurh believes in fate and determinism and things like that.

Love this film, although I was confused at the ending as well. It is implied that Chigurh gets the money back from Moss after he (Moss) is killed by the Mexicans at the hotel.

I also thought that whether or not Chigurh killed Moss's hot wife was up pin the air, but he is seen checking his boots from blood as he walks away. Apparently Chigurh is fine with killing people with a sadistic weapon like the captive bolt pistol, but he doesn't like to get blood on his boots.

What was there to not understand?

A few People, myself included, weren't completely sure exactly what conclusion to draw, thats all.
