No Country For Old Men

[Undertoad]

And there you go: Blue Velvet and Silence of the Lambs had no philosophy other than a stylish display of horrific evil. They might as well have been Hostel instead of highly-regarded works of art. Great acting, but in support of what? Cape Fear had a philosophy behind it, but not much of one. No Country is wholly philosophy-driven -- a philosophical horror film, of sorts, which gives it a kind of redemption.
