Today in Film as Literature we continued to watch No Country for Old Men.
The movie is on Netflix if you want to go back and watch what you missed.
In the portion we watched today as a class Llewelyn Moss (Main character,
one who found the money) was on the run from the psycho killer. Llewelyn
manages to escape the psycho killers attempt to kill him and take the money
at the hotel. Llewelyn shoots at the psycho killer and injures him in the leg,
while Llewelyn gets shoot in the stomach. Llewelyn ends up in Mexico, but
his injuries were unbearable and he ends up in the hospital. While at the
hospital Llewelyn was woken up by a man looking for the money, the man
told him that he was staying at the hotel across the street. The man leaves and
goes back to his hotel room to find the psycho killer waiting for him. The man
is then questioned and killed by the killer in the hotel room. After Llewelyn
calls the hotel room to talk to the man and gets a surprise when its the killer on
the other line. The killer said he was going to kill him, take the money, and if
Llewelyn didn't give up he would kill his girlfriend too.

Outside Knowledge
No Country for Old Men is an interesting/very creepy movie to watch, because the
director never gave the audience information about the characters at the
beginning of the movie. We didn't understand why the psycho killer was
doing what he was doing. We didn't understand why things were happening,
the movie just started in a way that captivated the audience into wanting to know more.
The audience has to wait to get answer on questions they formulate watching this extremely suspenseful movie. This relates back to the movie trailer of Breaking Bad,
the director also wanted to get the audiences attention and then later explain what was happening.
Yes! This is excellent, Lauren. Consider how your title can reflect the day's learning even more specifically.
