RE: No country for old men

I didn't think the characters represented themes or ideas, but I did think they personified certain aspects of human character. I certainly didn't think Anton represented fate. I think he was just what he was described as by another character, a psychopath with no sense of emotion and a strangely twisted sense of honour.

And I certainly agree about great movies allowing multiple interpretations, especially by each of us individually over time. The thing that makes a work of art great, regardless of its type, in my view is its ability to reveal something new to us each time we revisit it. We keep finding new things in great art and our appreciation of it grows. That's what keeps us coming back to it.
