The Third and Last Day of "No Country for Old Men" 

Today in class, we finally finished watching "No Country for Old Men". Many unexpected events occur in Act III as Llewelyn dies, the Sheriff retires, and Anton Chigurh gets away. 

Llewelyn's runaway is cut off when the Mexicans kill him in the motel room that is later visited by the two other main characters. 

Once the bad news are delivered and the scene is investigated by the cops, later that night, Sheriff Ed Tom Bell decides to pay the crime scene a visit of his own. He gives the motel room an examination and short after, he leaves, leaving a trail of doubt in the room.  Sheriff recognizes his powerlessness over the present norm that is violence, corruption, and greed, leaving him with no option other than retirement. 

Anton Chigurh, having had been in that motel room at the same time as Sheriff Bell, manages to retrieve the money he had been chasing after. It is later implied that he becomes responsible for the death of Llewelyn's wife, Carla, as he pays her an unpleasant visit. He then later, gets into an unexpected car crash, and even though hurt, walks away from the scene, as if he was never there in the first place. 

The last scene of the movie shows Sheriff Bell delivering a monologue about a dream he had, explaining the deeper meaning of the movie and how he, in fact, belongs to the 'old men' referred in the film's title.

The homework for today was to finish your 'No Country' Revisions. It is posted on Google Classroom and it is due 11:59pm. There will also be a test tomorrow about Mise-en-scene.
