    Am I the only one that thought Boyhood was overrated? Like the meta of the movie is unique and impressive, for sure. It's an incredible idea to film a movie following the development of a kid into adulthood in real time, and the perseverance to make it is laudable. But... I found the movie that resulted felt like... well like someone who had an idea for a movie 11 years ago and kept changing the plan along the way without being able to change what's already filmed. It felt messy and disjointed. Not like it is terrible, but I have no interest in watching it ever again. Certainly not in my to 30 movies of all time.

      Most likely just a precursor.

      Next thing out of his mouth will be we need movies with “good (insert some asshat right wing term) values”.
      Just look up nazism and cinema.

          Is it me or are these dailybeast headlines cringey AF? If you scroll down a little and get a list of other articles, quite literally every headline is slammed! outraged! rips! blasting!

          Can we please stop with these clickbatey headlines?

          No, Cruz is not outraged, he's bitching and moaning like the little turd that he is, please stop the clickbait

                No Country is a film (novel) about how personal gain has supplanted spiritual morality as the driving force behind our greater human culture.

                Josh Brolin embarks on this whole crusade just to secure his bag of money. Woody Harrelson is a self-described “day trader” while he moonlights as a hitman. Javier Bardem kills them both, but he’s terrified of Tommy Lee Jones because he’s just a sheriff who is simply committed to upholding the law as he sees it. As misguided as their respective motivations are (Anton is a psychopath with very black-and-white morals) they are the only two characters who are not driven by material gain. That’s what makes them both so formidable, in the context of the film.

                I’ve rewatched this movie so many times, and this to me is the overarching theme of the story.

                Anton is terrified of the sheriff? I don't think the two characters ever encountered each other. Anton might not have known that the sheriff was following him, except in the general sense that the police would be looking for him because of the messes that he left.

                    Probably hated the ending of Inglorious Bastards.

                    You think he actually sat through all of these? I'd be shocked if he made it to the end of Crouching Tiger or Spirited Away

                      They almost encounter each other. He’s hiding in the hotel room after Llewelyn is killed near the end of the movie. Anton is literally shivering with fear on the other side of the door. Somehow he disappears before the sheriff enters the room.
