sure had alot of screen time for a movie that wasnt about him


He wasn't the protagonist. Not only did he not even die on screen, he wasn't an old man, either. The movie is about Sheriff Bell. He's the old man fooling himself that the world is changing when really he only feels that way because he no longer can grip it in his fist and feel confident about the importance of his role in it. Through his interaction with the case, his conversation with his uncle, and his dream, he comes to realize that really it is just him getting old - that the world isn't changing; he's just getting passed by. Because... it's no country for old men.

It almost bothers me that I'm so attracted to Cormac McCarthys way of seeing the world.

Sometimes while reading All the Pretty Horses I almost couldn't contain myself.
