[QUOTE="Bill of Rights, post: 1301351, member: 9940"] ^yep. And there is more meaning in the hats and boots used in that movie than in the entirety of most movies. Seriously. The part I think that article left out was about the ending. I think the dream meant something about the perpetual and timeless nature of the challenge he'd been facing. It wasn't that the "country" was changing or becoming more brutal. This savage nature of the "country" (ie life, violence, crime) was permanent and intrinsic. But the Sheriff had aged beyond the ability to sustain the fight. Thus, it was no "country" for old men. The relative he visited before the end also alluded to this theme as he described the brutal circumstances of how the Sheriff's grandfather died. Of his tendency to think his situation was unique, he told the Sheriff "that's vanity." Anyway, I can't wait to see True Grit. And Matt Damon ... well, he bought his balls back in The Departed (so did Leonardo) so I'll give him a chance. edit: poor vocabulary [/QUOTE]
