posted by: DaveToo (reply) post date: 02.21.08 (8:10 pm) I saw No Country. I knew I was viewing something special. And it continues to stay in my mind, a riddle in many ways. Obviously, I'll have to see it again, which is rare for me with anything from Hollywood. The ending was an absolute surprise, as well as a continuing mystery. So much action and gore. Then, the long conversation between the characters you mention. then another long, lazy conversation between Tommy Lee and his wife. Then, poof, it's over. My mind was wandering, not paying attention, and then it was over! I should have listened! My wife and I walked out, wondering what just happened, and a little disappointed. Maybe you can help me? Or, like I said, it's time to go see it again and this time to stay away at the end. posted by: DaveToo (reply) post date: 02.21.08 (8:11 pm) Correction: "...this time to stay AWAKE at the end." posted by: OldSchool (reply) post date: 02.21.08 (10:52 pm) Reply to: DaveToo I am not completely satisfied by the abrupt ending the way it happened. I think this film would be definitely worth seeing a second or third time to catch everything that is happening and then paying closer attention to the end now that you know it is the end. The whole film impressed me so much that the ending did not change how I felt about it, but I think they wanted you to leave the theater a little confused. I wish there would have been a little more obvious closure to the story, but even the way it happened I am still fascinated by it. I do intend to see it another time, but probably will wait until it comes out on DVD. Thanks so much for reading and hope you come back often. |
