Today in class we continued watching No Country for Old Men. We started watching at the scene where Chigurh is chasing Moss out of the hotel. Moss gets shot but manages to shoot Chigurh in the knee and he then disappears. I chose to do my MES analysis during this scene. I chose specifically a scene where Moss is hiding behind the corner of the building. The camera is tight on his face and the lighting is dark since it’s night time. I said that this creates suspense and creates tension because nothing can be seen around him and it is unknown where the shots being fired are coming from. After this, in the movie Chigurh escapes and so does Moss with the money. Moss pays a group of men on the street for their jacket and beer to cover himself up since he is covered in blood from being shot in the stomach. He throws the brief case of money off the bridge into the grass along a river. He then falls asleep on the ground. Moss meanwhile, blows up a car to create a diversion to steal drugs from a pharmacy. He uses the drugs to numb his knee which he then operates on to pull out bullet fragments. Moss wakes up in the hospital with a visitor. Carson Wells tells him to give him the money and leave it be because he doesn’t know who he’s messing with (Chigurh). Moss refuses however and still wants to keep the money. Wells retraces moss’s steps and ends up finding the briefcase but doesn’t go to take it. Chigurh finds Wells and brings him to a hotel room and ends up shooting him in order to find out where the money is. Moss calls Wells after he is shot and Chigurh answers and they then have a conversation about the money and what will happen to Moss. Moss leaves the hospital and gets clothes and then goes and retrieved the brief case. Meanwhile he calls his wife and her mother and tells them to meet him at the airport. The wife and mother are on there way but are followed but some Spanish men who I assume are involved with the money and drugs. Also, moss’s wife calls the sheriff to tell him she will give up Moss’s head if it means his safety. That is about where we ended today. 
While watching the movie I was really annoyed because the actor playing Carson Wells looked really familiar so I looked him up. Woody Harrelson is the actors name and he also plays in The Hunger Games series as Haymitch which is where I know him from. Some other films you may know him from are Now You See Me, War for the Planet of the Apes, Zombieland and Friends with Benefits.
