'No Country for Old Men' is a crime thriller film which adapted for the screen and directed by Ethan & Joel Coen. The main stars were Tommy Lee Jones, Javier Bardem and Josh Brolin.
This film is about an ordinary man whose found a fortune and delivers that is not his. However, he leads himself into a difficult situation as a hit man is hired to recover the money which made him to go on the run. Later in the film, Tommy Lee Jones appeared by playing a police officer and tries to solve the crime and to find out what's going on.
After watching the film in class, our task was to find and analyse 3 examples of scenes in which we thought it was suspenseful. The first example was a scene where Llewelyn Moss (Josh Brolin) found the dead bodies, heroin and cars; at this point the audience knew that there was a drug dealing and that it has went wrong. Then Brolin slowly opened the car door in which the audience expects something to jump out. Secondly, in the scene where Josh Brolin checked into a new hotel room and as he tries to get the money in which he has hidden in the previous room. At this point the editor uses cross cutting as the hit man (Javier Bardem) catches up to him and slowly opened the door and this is done to help create excitement. Thirdly, in the scene where Josh Brolin changed hotel and found the tracking device hidden within the money in the suitcase, he then knows how the hit man found him. He then turned the lights off so he can see if anyone is walking towards his hotel room. This scene is suspenseful because the audience don't know if the hit man is outside his door and the uses of dark lighting helps to build tensions and create excitement.
I thought No Country for Old Men was a good example of a thriller movie, this is because it has a good storyline and the actions were dramatic as there was no sound effects which made the audience interested in it. Furthermore, it is also edgy as some scenes were scary which made the audience to jump out of there seats.
