This week i watched No Country For Old Men for the book to film category. I actually started watching the movie a couple of weeks prior because i wanted to watch it at the time. Overall, i really liked the movie. It did a great job of holding a continuous and tense narrative while tracking the 3 main sets of people hunting each other down. The scenes with the antagonist are quiet and brutal, and the camera is in no hurry to get anywhere, just like the serial killer himself. The tone of the movie is reflected by each character's personality in terms of camera speed and ambient noise during each scene. I would absolutely recommend watching this movie with the stipulation that it's best seen not in a group. The movie's ambiance will certainly be lost if a large group is watching due to the tension that comes from the large amount of silence in the movie. I'd also like to read the book that the film was made after. 9/10.
