403802, Have you asked yourself why it was ended that way?

I mean, I'm just as surprised when people got angry at how No Country For Old Men ended...it ended that way for a reason. You wanted it to fit the narrative of a blockbuster movie? Well, you should watch blockbuster movies then, but this is an art flick so sometimes you have to ask yourself why the film presented things in a certain way.

With a movie so well regarded it's arrogant to assume that the movie was bad rather than first imagine there's a chance you just didn't get it. I could share my interpretations with you, sure, but the point is for you to mull it over by yourself, then ideally discuss it with somebody else who likes thinking about movies. If you're not even willing to give the movie the benefit of the doubt what do you expect us to do for you?
