NO COUNTRY FOR OLD MEN: intro

The three main "Character's" in the film are Anton Chigurh, Llewellyn Moss and Sheriff Ed Tom Bell. - Do you see any connections in the setting and the characters to traditional Western conventions? What we see from the first two pictures, showing Chigurh and Moss respectively, is that both men are outside- whilst the picture showing Bell is showed to be inside. what we can immedietly see from this is that Chigurh and Bell are more hands on in their 'jobs' and how they carry them out while Bell prefers to think of himself as the brains behind the operation, opting to stay behind the scenes and to not get his hands dirty despite being the Sheriff. The setting in both Chigurh abd Moss' pictures is a dry landscape with little to no life such as animals or trees. Yet the setting in Bell's is more urban, surrounded by people and artificial materials. - How do you feel their stories will be resolved? I think that the Sheriff is going to have to resolve his story by venturing out of his protective office and comfort space to actually do his job, whilst Chigurh and Bell are going to eventually confront one another. with the latter, i believe that one of the two are obviously going to end up dead, as is the case most often when a 'protagonist' and 'antagonist' collide. although i use those phrases lightly as i don't entirely believe Bell is in the right and that Chigurh is in the wrong.
