Friday aftrernoon, Red Rock, at the movie theater. A lot of people would consider movies a passive form of entertainment but I would have to disagree in this case. The movie is called No Country for Old Men and on the whole it is a thoroughly engrossing, thoroughly enjoyable movie-except for perhaps the ending. The ending could evoke a couple reactions, either you were disappointed or maybe you were angry. One person in the theater said he wanted his money back. I, on the other hand, was disappointed. Perhaps the ending was the redeeming quality of the movie because it demands you to think in order to enjoy the overall experience, perhaps to spark a debate and paint your own ending. At any rate, the movie feels unfinished, like there is no big finale, no ultimate release. In some ways, the movie is engaging on the level of the film Crash. There is nothing spoon fed to you, though. If
you are to resolve your experience you have to solve your own questions-and there are no easy answers.
