Today during the movie, the sheriff and his deputy are introduced into the movie and are tracking down what happened at the drug run scene. They are led to Llewelyns abandoned house and sit down to have a glass of milk. They discuss how they are always a step behind on the case.
Meanwhile, Llewelyn goes to a no-tell motel and purchases a room. He then proceeds to hide the two million dollars in an air vent. Then he buys another room that is connected to the same air vent and makes an escape plan. Chigurh is using the tracking device to find Llewelyn. He finds him at the hotel and goes into the wrong room and shoots three people dead. Chigurh tracks and pursues Llewelyn. He finds him in a room at another one of the no-tell motels, and a few shootouts occur in the process. It gets pretty violent, both Chigurh and Llewelyn are wounded.
An example of Mise-en-scene for today:
The low angle of Chigurh in one of the scenes perceives him as big. This shows how powerful and unstoppable he is on his hunt for the money.
Again, In class this week we are preparing for our test on Mise-en-scene elements. We our analyzing the film in class for Mise-en-scene elements and then applying our knowledge of it to an essay we will write in the future comparing the book we read in the summer to this film. Us watching this film and learning more about how each mise-en-scene element is used will help us understand the film industry's better and allow us to understand how anyone involved in a major film would use these techniques to improve the quality of their film.
A theme that could be pulled from this movie would be money and greed. Chigurhs greed for the money is causing him to go on a killing spree across texas. Money is the cause of all the conflict in the movie so far.
