No Country For Old Men is outstanding. One of the few films that does the book justice. Even more so, it IMPROVED my enjoyment of the book having mental pictures of the characters in my mind’s eye, as I saw the film before reading the book. Then, I went back and watched the film immediately again, and it was even better for having read the book. A rare experience.
Same here. Sent me on a Cormac McCarthy reading binge. If you haven't read Blood Meridian, start today.
Pretty dark book
Based upon events in the life of John Glanton, #2 man under Jack Hays when the Texas Rangers went into Mexico.
"...if the gentlemen of Virginia shall send us a dozen of their sons, we would take great care in their education, instruct them in all we know, and make men of them." Canasatego 1744
