The film depicted (very) graphic violence when such furthered the plot line, but implied the violence when that depiction would have been superfluous or gratuitous. The non-ending ending took this Western-murder-thriller into the (infinitely) broader enigma of life and its purpose.
The film indeed deserved its Oscar awards.
Near the conclusion, there is this line about beer:
Llewelyn Moss: "I know what beer leads to."
Woman sitting at motel pool: "Beer leads to more beer."
Afterwards, I sipped on one Dogfish Head 90-Minute IPA.
good quote from a wonderful movie.
ReplyDeleteIf you'd seen it at the AFI Silver, you could have had a beer, albeit not a DFH, while you watched the movie. Yay AFI!
