@psycho, of course there are differences, I don't remember about the hotel issue but it's true that in the meeting between Moss and Chirurgh the Mexicans arrive, while you're mistaken about the other matter. Anyway, the biggest variation is when Bell enters the roped-off bungalow and "feels" that HE is there, it's different in the book. In the film, he pretends nothing's happening and leaves. That's his drama. The Coens give him this condemnation, he realizes that he can't confront the "evil of today" and lays down his arms, he feels defeated = it's no country for old men. The Coen brothers did a great job with this "variation," I really appreciated it.

starblazer are you still running around spouting bullshit, aren't you ashamed of yourself and locked up in the bathroom? they should use you as a capacitor in the electrical engineering industry, I've never seen anyone capable of condensing so much bullshit in so few words.

Funiculì Funiculà Naples shouldn't change. I totally agree with ilpaolo (I'm Neapolitan, if that matters to you) regarding Troisi, who I see overly praised as a "film actor," while apart from the first movie, he has never thrilled me as much as in cabaret. However, in this film, he is exceptional because he plays himself, it's hilarious when the killer forces him to remember "Palomma palò." Other laugh-out-loud scenes include the interview with James Senese, "Jamme, facimme ambress' c'amma sunà!!!" And also the talented Armando Marra in the role of the blind man Dieci Decimi: "Parlate, signor Giuffrida, per carita'... Was he manniti di riale or mannitidiriale all stuck together, now I can't remember." And the jargon of the camorrista: "Are you scatuozzo or scartiloffista?...A rocchia knew about a plate and renare that two ferluocchie made biscotto..." il_paolo, I'm sending you a signal. Giallo Napoletano (1979 Corbucci)

It's these characters that give the film its verve, which, as ilpaolo rightly says, otherwise falls flat due to the absolute dullness of the direction.

Well Tiz, I wouldn't be so rigid in this distinction of yours; rather, I would say that the "moral" is always the same: for Americans, you have to earn your money; if you find it, it doesn't really do you much good.

It's all about taking off and putting on cowboy hats, purpulan, except for Bardem who sports a grotesque (this indeed!) wig à la Roy Orbison, perhaps there's no wind to blow them away.

you have too many in your mouth be careful not to drown

@S4doll ---> with your mouth full of the word fuck, you can talk to your sister, not to me, bitch.

It is not true that it is without a moral; the main characters, in my opinion, are Sheriff Bell and the killer Chirurgh, and in their own way, they are moralists.

the ending is identical to that of the book, frayed and unresolved are strong words; in my personal opinion, if one judges it this way, they have not penetrated into the true essence of the book/film.

@alessioiride: it's also a bit like saying "the problem with Everclear is the same as with Soundgarden for me, they haven't told me anything special."
