It has been several days since I saw the movie. There were two other people that watched it with me. I am still confused as to what the movie was really about. Why did the sheriff let the killer get away? What happened at the motel where the girl offered beer to Moss? Did we miss something there? Was a scene cut out because it was a long enough movie? What was the dream about? Was it of his retirement as he is getting old and he knew that he eventually is dying?
Why can’t a movie be made like the old John Wayne type of western? Why do they have to have all these hidden messages that one cannot understand? What the hell was that thing that the killer was using? It was never explained or did I miss that part when I was trying to think as to what the hell happened in the previous scene. Why didn’t the Coen brothers let Moss battle it out with the killer? That would have been a better ending.
I had heard it was a good movie from several co-workers as they all warned me that it makes sense and then it does not make any sense at all. Now that is what got my attention. How can a movie be like that? Well, now that I have seen it, It makes less sense that it makes sense. Now does that make sense? The ending should have been different is what I say.
A funny part in the movie was when the Mother in law tells the Mexican guy, “Why thank you sir for helping me with my suitcase. It is nice to see that gentlemen still exist in this world. But, you know, you usually don't ever see a Mexican in a suit.” I will have to watch this movie more than twice to really “get it”. Frank
