Movie endings, they’re usually pretty straightforward, right?

Everything pays off, the main characters learn something, and our heroes ride off into the sunset. Sometimes though, we don’t get the typical ending from a movie, we get something much more nuanced, complex and open-ended. The kind of endings that leave things up in the air for all of us to debate and theorize about until we’re blue in the face. With Movie Endings Explained, we aim to delve into some of the more ambiguous and mysterious endings to films that have left audiences scratching their heads for years, and to attempt to explain them. In most cases, a definitive answer isn’t really there, so we definitely want to hear from YOU on how you interpret the various endings we’ll be discussing with this series.

No Country for Old Men Explained

No Country for Old Men is a 2007 movie directed, written, and edited by Joel and Ethan Coen. Based on the Cormac McCarthy novel of the same name. Its enigmatic title actually comes from the first stanza of William Butler Yeats poem “Sailing to Byzantium”, first published in the 1928 collection The Tower.

This film has been defined as a “neo-western movie” a description which fits it well. Except perhaps that the term neo might suggest that the Western genre is dead and buried. In this video, I am going to analyze No Country for Old Men from both a narrative and visual point of view. This analysis will allow us to understand the meaning of that ending which has been unjustly defined as disappointing, arbitrary, strained and soulless. Besides, it will also try to explain why Anton Chigurh is such a disturbing character.

Yes, very, very disturbing.
