"No country for old men" what is THAT all aout????

[Wayne]

Llewellyn Moss is a flawed doppleganger for Antwan Sugar. Consider this, when Moss is fleeing the hotel and gets shot in the left leg by Sugar, he in turn shoots Sugar in the left leg. The money is a mcguffin--it isn't important. The two men's opposition to one another is. Moss spends the movie TRYING to disappear, Sugar becomes "visible" whenever he pleases. Both are capable at improvisation (Moss with his hiding the money in the vent trick and Sugar blowing up the car so he could raid the pharmacy). Lastly, the characters names had no similarity, but I wonder if the actors were cast because they have the same initials, Javier Bardem & Josh Brolin.

I really doubt that! If they wern't available would they have had to go with Leonardo De Caprio and Les Dennis?

Imagine Les Dennis as Sugar? Instead of making someone bet their life in a coin toss he'd ask them what 100 people he asked on the street said when asked to name their most essential item they packed in their suitcase when going on holiday.

Get it wrong and he'd go 'Our Survey says.........' and then shoot them in the head.

Would have made for a terrible film

I don't necessarily believe it, but Javier Bardem is an unknown in the US and Josh Brolin isn't exactly burning up the silver screen. It's possible.
