What's a Movie that you Just Don't Get?? 🤔
Not an overrated or overhyped flick, but a movie you just don't fully grasp or understand. For me, that movie is No Country for Old Men. It's a very well-crafted film, for sure but I just don't think I fully fathom the depth of the story/tale I was told. Like, I get that it's a story about fate, mortality, and violence... but I've always felt like there's so much more that I'm missing. Mind you, I was 14 when I saw this film back in 2007, and perhaps a lot aside from the basic themes went over my head. I felt like I wasn't old enough, at the time, to fully comprehend the narrative... and I fear I still may not be old enough now, at 31. I've discussed it with many of my fellow cinephiles over the years, and it's been said by some that they don't understand how I could be so dense... but to me, it just kinda seems like a movie about men past their prime, floatin' through life. 🤷🏾 Is it meant to be a beautifully simple story, or is there truly so much more beyond the surface?? Idk. Will it all suddenly click when I finally rewatch this flick in my twilight years??? 🧐 I just don't get it. 🙃
