No Country for Me?

I went into No Country for Old Men (IMDb) with really high hopes; however, I was really disappointed. Now I do agree there were a lot of really cool individual scenes, but I really felt that the movie did not flow well together. Besides the chop, the overall meaning did not measure up.

At first I thought the man in black was death or possibly some form old testament God, but quickly realized that those theories did not pan out (numerous senseless killings). So the dude is creepy for sure and he has does a really good job in general, but I didn't really find him as disturbing as say Hannibal.

Maybe that was the whole point of the movie and the man in black - that evil has crept into our lives and has now permeated our culture. Now I don't need every movie to have that nice ray of hope, but I really wanted another aspect to the movie: that even though evil is present it always makes sense to fight against it.

Then again, maybe the whole point of the movie is to hate it.
