No Country for Old Men

No Country For Old Men (Movie)
Emphasis and minimize
In the movie Characters that are minimized from the book include : Bells wife, Loretta. There is that girl Lewellyn Moss found. Bell’s deputies, and the bounty hunter sent to kill Chigurh. Even Bell himself was minimized (he only had a speech in the beginning and end of the movie).
Chigurh and Moss were the characters emphasized. The two took up most of the frames and scenes in the movie. For some reason or another, the two were never shown to be in the same room as each other. Not once did the movie ever show the two face to face.
Narration
The movie, like in the book, has instances of POV by Bell. However, unlike the novel (which has a numerous instances where Bell is the narrator), the movie mainly has an omniscient narration.
Images
The only reoccurring images in the movie include a wounded man and a handful of blood stained hundred dollar bills. The men who were wounded the most were Moss and Chigurh. The movie showed Moss’ buckshot wound, and the stomach wound he gained from being shot at. The most gruesome wound was the one Chigurh had. He was shot through the leg, and as he soaked himself in the bath, you could see right throw the bullet wound. Then there is the blood stained dollars. In many parts of the movie, both Chigurh and Moss alike, use money to get out of sticky situations. As once Moss used his blood stained money to get into a hospital, to take a man’s car, and Chigurh used his money to buy a shirt for a sling for his arm.
Shot
One shot that caught my attention was the shot in which Chigurh was soaking his leg in a bath. It was an over the head shot because we saw the ceilings perspective of him soaking his leg, it can also be considered a long shot. The shot should Chigurh’s entire body, and framed him and the tub.
Music
I hardly noticed the music of the movie, most likely because it just blended in well.
