THere is a reason this film was up for many Oscars (and won many Oscars)...CAUSE ITS BRILLANT!!!
Seriously, if you hated the ending then if I were you I would rewatch it or something cause the ending is the best part. It is deep and touching. Tommy Lee Jones' monologue really hits home.
As far as showing Brolin getting killed goes...why??? The Coens were doing something less conventional and it worked out perfectly. Brolin was offed just like that and that was a great move.
Of course, I dont expect a number of you "simpletons" to understand this film or book. That would be asking too much.:-)
The mere fact that this douche likes it proves my point [Reply]

The fact that you posted this proves your lack of facility with regards to logic or the mechanics of establishing points.
That, and the fact that you're not self-aware enough to be embarassed that you didn't get a movie capable of being comprehended and appreciated even by a spraytan douchebag clubboi. [Reply]

No I just thought the movie sucked. Psycho babble bullshit aside, I would have to agree with Fraz's assessment. This movie was setting you up for a confrontation from the beginning. It ended by some old guy talking about some dreams. [Reply]

That's the whole f@cking point. The movies and legend have us all primed to go High Noon against evil, when in the real world, petty peripheral shit [like a bunch of wilding Mexicans getting the jump on everyone] ruins the narrative, and sometimes evil wins anyways.
It makes you wonder what it says about you that you wanted, needed, the ending you expected, rather than the one you got. [Reply]

I figured all this shit out when I saw the movie. Really. I got it then, I get it now. I didn't even need some snooty brie-sniffing film critic to explain it to me, either. Swear to God.
AND IT STILL FUCKING SUCKS.
But if painting yourself as Gentile King Of The Arts because this steaming pile of shit sang to your soul makes you feel better about yourself, by all means, carry on.

You know what the problem with NCFOM is? The Coen bros did too good a job of making a tight, taunt little thriller for the 1st 1 hour 45 minutes. IM serious, they did. They should have just said, the heck with the book, lets change this crap and finished things out to a natural conclusion.
They set everyone up. If they would have done a crappy or even average job with that, nobody would have given a sh*t about the crappy ending. [Reply]

That said, the whole "If you didn't like it, you're just a moron who doesn't understand or appreciate art" arguement is fucking obnoxious.
Get over yourself. Not everyone is going to enjoy the same things you do.

LOL
That I needed the ending?
Tell me what it says about you the need to cram the "that's the way life is" ending down my throat and then insult me because I thought it sucked. Newsflash, I don't watch a movie to dwell on realty, I watch it as a release from it.
That I didn't like the ending says nothing about me as a person. The fact that you're bombarding me with your dime store psychology and using it as some sort of an ink blot test says tons about you. [Reply]
