Amy’s “Cool Girl” speech and the vital task of Nick’s performing for his media spectators, highlight the importance of establishing and maintaining appearances, however false. Flynn said this: “The whole point is that these are two people pretending to be other people, better people, versions of the dream guy and dream girl, but each one […]

A collection of interesting quotes about the great director. I think, in addition to the personal qualities I mentioned, there is the basic psychological, unconscious identification with Alex. If you look at the story not on the social and moral level, but on the psychological dream content level, you can regard Alex as a creature […]

The Sioux are the “good” Indians, the Pawnee, enemies of the Sioux, are the “evil” Indians, and the American soldiers (except for Lt. Dunbar) are all complete buffoons who make the Keystone Kops look like models of professionalism. The reality, of course, is that cruelty, violence, and imperialism were practiced not only by the white […]

The film is a meditation on sexuality and how it relates to marriage, death, and money. It’s a fascinating commentary on modern life, and a rare movie that dares to examine sex as impassionately as any other issue.

What makes you think that this movie is so good?

The film is about a man’s obsession with a mysterious woman he can never obtain, never understand, only love.

However, we don’t know who she […]

Llewellyn gets a second room because he realizes someone is in or has been in his first room. He uses the map to select one with connecting duct work to his own room to pull the bag out from the other side. The Mexicans are in his room when Chigurh busts in because the transponder […]
