Day 2 of No Country For Old Men

9/25/18
Today in Film as Literature, we watched our second period of No Country for Old Men. Our assignment for this movie is to craft 3 sentences and correct each, making 6 sentences and post them to google classroom by Thursday. 
My examples from yesterday:
-The diegetic audio is simple showing how bleak the desert is.
- The diegetic audio is minimalistic, which illustrates the bleakness and how vast the empty desert setting is.
My examples from today:
- The camera angle shows the dominance of the large man.
- The low angle shot exemplifies the almost gigantic stature of the unstoppable antagonist.

The themes explored so far have been 'evil corrupts' and 'money is the root of all evil'. Llewellyn happens upon a drug deal gone wrong and since he took the briefcase of money, he has had horrible luck. So far, his girlfriend represents naïvete because of her ignorance towards Llewellyn's situation with Anton. Another theme being explored is bad things happening to good people. The deputy, the civilian car driver, and Llewellyn all have horrible experience after having done nothing wrong. The deputy arrested and was killed by Anton, the car driver was just driving and was killed by Anton, and Llewellyn took money that wasn't his so Anton was sent after him.

The period ended today when the scene was escalating to the climax of the plot when the protagonist and antagonist where having their first interaction, and it was a bloody one. The two characters battled until Llewellyn hopped in a mans truck and it seemed like he was going to get away until he crashed and left the class on a cliff hanger.

  1. Great details! Don't forget to extend to some part of the outside world. Really like that you included your own examples.
