9/27/16 Jacey Deleu
During today's class we finished off watching the rest of "No Country for Old Men". Yesterday we all left class wondering if Llewelyn got murdered and if he was really dead. As we continued to watch the rest of the movie we find out that in fact he does die. I thought that the end of the movie was disappointing because it left the audience with many unanswered questions. We didn't find out for sure if Carla Jean was killed by Chigurh. At the end of class we had a discussion about the end of the movie and what we thought about it. One thing discussed was, that in this particular movie the "good guy" dies and the "bad guy" gets away with it. The last time we saw Chigurh in the movie is when he is walking away from the car accident scene and just getting away with everything he has done. To the audience I think that it's frustrating to watch someone who is evil get away with killing so many people but I also wouldn't have wanted the movie to end by Chigurh being arrested because that would make the movie predictable. The last scene of the movie was Sheriff Tom Bell and Loretta Bell talking over breakfast. Once the credits started to roll after that scene everyone seemed to be disappointed because of all the untied ends. Overall, I think that this movie was very creative and intense even though I was disappointed with the ending I wouldn't want it to be changed.

Strong analysis here, Jacey! You do a nice job blending the facts of the class with your perception of the work. Nice job and good picture.
