So I watched NO COUNTRY FOR OLD MEN for the First Time...

Is there room for Matty in this country? This old souls tackles one of the most complex movies out there. Left in middle, it's up to Lock to either save him or leave him out in the dust! Which way will he go?! Let's find out.

[@luccan]

we're slowly slowly un-"marveling" Matty's brain here

[@Jumpman67]

That's a great way of putting it.

[@mariodpgodoy]

For me, not showing Llewelyn dying was to reinforce that he wasn't a hero, so he wasn't deserving of a hero's death.

[@logan_sunday]

Just some random guy, wrong place at the wrong time.

[@mariodpgodoy]

@@logan_sunday yes, but he could've left the cartel money alone. He decided to risk it all for the money and lost.

[@IfYouSeekCaveman]

Knowing that Matty is a weeb, and now learning that he has an affinity for Westerns, I wonder if he would enjoy Seven Samurai.

[@AvantTom]

You guys need to do Oldboy. The Park Chan-Wook version obvs. Matty would love all the twists and turns in the plot. And of course a certain hallway scene.

[@conorcrisis]

I think he should watch The Departed

[@apretrogaming1041]

Great movie

[@Tacitus_kilgore_1903]

You should check out there will be blood... probably my favorite movie of all time

[@Shrewdy1]

Based on everything we've heard from Matty so far, I feel like he'd absolutely hate that movie lmao

[@Tacitus_kilgore_1903]

​​@@Shrewdy1I suppose it's not really for low iq marvel fans but it's an objectively great film... lmao

[@Dee-ld2ty]

​@@Shrewdy1 Yeah it's crazy to me how he didn't like Inglorious Bastards

[@IfYouSeekCaveman]

​@@Shrewdy1Perhaps through repeated exposure he'll develop a taste for slower, more contemplative films.

[@brycenolen3594]

That would be one of that last famous films I would recommend to Matty lol. He's a younger dude that doesn't vibe with the slower films. There Will Be Blood is in my personal top 5 though. DDL is the goat

[@Trai1b1aze]

Matty making fun of Antons haircut when he was rocking the same cut over covid (aka The Karen, The page boy cut etc) 🤣🤣

[@TalentedTacoTrex]

I think as Matty watches more movies he'll develop a greater appreciation and understanding of these movies. Sort of like how you can't have someone's first video game be BioShock or Red Dead redemption 2 it's just too much to take in I think movies are the same way. As someone who's watched close to 1500 movies I can definitely say that my taste have changed and matured and the more I watch and the more context that I have.

[@barkley8285]

I was in 7th grade when Logan and Dunkirk came out in 2017. Thought they were mediocre. Years later I rewatched them both and consider them both 10/10 movies. Same with knights of the old republic and bioshock. Your right in this thought.

[@oneeyegovernor806]

i love this movie and i never noticed the no music in it! thanks for pointing that out guys👍

[@Spartansareawesome11]

Really acclaimed movies, like those in the top of all time lists, are generally those movies that blow moviephiles away. Jumping straight into the greatest of all time when you are really new to movies, that will always be a tough ask. Many of them are great because they are unique, breaths of fresh air, or the whole group kind of being a genre of their own. I feel that the more movies you watch, the more you will appreciate these movies, both the ones you continue to watch, and these you are watching now. It will take some time, but that’s what we are here for. I’m with you for that journey. Tastes grow and mature with time and exposure. This is the same with all consumption

[@WholeFnShow1]

With this list tho i feel like they're pretty accessible films. These are like top level mainstream films but not really like 'cinephile' type films. I think he may actually be into those a bit more from his tastes so far.

[@midnightdt]

Matty lock and the Cohen brothers? Does it get better (no, no it doesn't)

[@theunclegregshow8956]

I feel matty would actually like There Will be Blood even tho it would break the pattern

[@theunclegregshow8956]

I DRINK YOUR MILKSHAKE!

[@mariodpgodoy]

As for the sheriff, he grew older, finally met his match, and realized that he'd lost his edge and did not belong in the game anymore. In the end, he knew Chigurh was inside that room, and he could've entered it and faced him, but he knew he was out of his depth and decided to just give up. He was old.

[@Keyh]

I think that it is less about "Oh, if they were younger and stronger and faster." And more that "Old men realize how little they have affected and lose their motivation to make good change." The world is improved by people that have the drive to make it a better place, and there are a lot of people that have given up on that.

[@samd2013]

Absolutely love this movie, im glad you appreciated it. Also I liked the “There will be blood” shoutout. That movie is also one of my favorites, and it’s funny that both of these films were the biggest awards contenders in 2007.

[@WholeFnShow1]

Wow surprised how on point Matty's opinions have been in line with my own on film, impressive from a new cinephile haha. I agree with this one too, it's a great movie but i also don't LOVE it. Can't wait for him to get to some more artistic/sophisticated films and see what he thinks, i think he may vibe with some of them more.

[@mylesmiller7353]

I really like this discussion because it’s showing someone going through this interesting transition that hopefully everyone get to experience in there lives. When you go from watching a movie for entertainment to actually presiving a movie for what it is, a manifestation of the artiest desire to convey something to the viewer. In the case of this movie I think what the Cohans wanted to convey is the powerless of the individual against the never ending march of time and there own fate.

[@magnusalexander2965]

My take based on these episodes so far is that Matty doesn't like suspense. If you create a tense situation and stretch it to it's limits he doesn't get into it the way I do

[@positivetakes5592]

The whole movie is about randomness, chaos, and chance

[@Keyh]

Saw this video posted and watched the movie so I could watch this. I love this series. Literally just had the credits rolling and left to watch this.

[@FabledAllOut]

One of my favourite theories is that Llywelyn might have been intended as a sort of reality check of heroes in action movies. He's a complete bad ass (a Vietnam vet in the book) and does so many intelligent things and survives many unlikely situations and yet he still dies bloody, surprised and off screen, much like it goes in real life. It's a hell of a statement to say it doesn't matter who you are when you come up against certain odds/people in real life. Dark, but cool in my opinion. I also think Chig thinks of himself as a personification of fate or luck. Him getting hit by a car randomly shake his almost inhuman perspective of himself in my view, as does the brave lady not going along with his coin flip BS. I like to think that is the movie/worlds way of telling him that to real fate/luck, he is also insignificant. Over all this isn't my favourite movie but I do find it to be pretty great. It's one of the more philosophical movies I actually enjoy and every decade or so I watch it can come away with new small perspective changes.

[@ronaldhershner5841]

I’m waiting for the day that Marty watches Event Horizon…. Given some of his comments in videos this movie is a must watch

[@Keyh]

Going to have to disagree on the protagonist shift. Llewellyn was never the protagonist, Ed was the whole time. It followed Llewellyn so you knew what was going on, but he didn't matter. He was just another case for Ed.

[@JeanJacketSojourns]

Exactly. And he only wasn't in a lot of the beginning because thematically it made sense, since he was "falling behind"

[@takes2knowgames900]

Don't feel bad for being bored Matty, I thought this one had it's moments but I was pretty bored too

[@Keyh]

Last comment: Burn After Reading is the best Coen film for him btw

[@SadDeath.]

Finally some call sheet

[@WholeFnShow1]

I feel like Matty's issue with pretentiousness or artsy-ness is bc he hasn't seen any good versions of it. If you think Tarantino is artsy then yeah, you haven't seen it done well 😂 If you're hyped for Stalker 2 then pls watch the film 'Stalker'...that is real art in film. That will make you confront your opinion on the matter.

[@Khajiitslayer]

Can’t wait until you get the Fargo by the Coen Brothers!(my favorite movie of all time)

[@brenbird475]

I love reading books after seeing the movie or show! There’s always differences and added context in the book and even though I know the general story I don’t really know what else will happen or how much more intense certain scenes can be.

[@isengrim99]

I wish you would watch A Clockwork Orange one day. That would be an experience you wouldn't forget🧡

[@theunclegregshow8956]

A Clockwork Orange: watch it

[@Nicolas-Kage]

Wild pick, but you two NEED to watch Holy Mountain.

[@tannerjepperson9327]

I’ve got the Raimi Spider-Man trilogy novelizations. I love those movies so much I want any more of em I can get

[@alextaboas9199]

Lmfao saw this movie for the first time last week and loved it

[@theunclegregshow8956]

Killzone, and i believe brothers in arms: road to hill 30 also, had no soundtrack for the same sort of reasons

[@siciliangamer]

No Country for Old Men is so much about nostalgia and loss. If you haven't experienced much life it won't mean as much.

[@PlatypusKing10]

Just watching this to see if Matty apologized for his bluey slander

[@PlatypusKing10]

He didn’t

[@Dee-ld2ty]

If you guys ever feel in the mood to watch a Foreign Comedy/Drama film please watch Gueros. Its absolutely amazing.

[@Deadpool109]

This movie put Josh Brolin on the map more to me than the goonies.

[@micahhearn4429]

As good as No Country is, I always point people to Hell or High Water. It feels like the actual story this movie meant to tell.

[@TylerNorCal]

Not a single one of the movies you have watched so far are 'artsy' 😂

[@firestriker6846]

Bruh, why did I legit watch this movie 2 nights ago? I saw that air gun dude was using and I was like what type of gun is that? The movie was really good though

[@theunclegregshow8956]

Good choice

[@ColombianThunder]

The credits do actually have music, but it's a very silent drum beat.

[@turtleflex4054]

Watched ready player one.then read the book an that was good.same with Harry Potter

[@noahvrionis9793]

If you guys like westerns, you should watch Yellowstone in my opinion. It is the best western of all time that I have seen personally.

[@rigby1851]

You need to watch more Westerns

[@TylerNorCal]

There Will Be Blood >>>

[@trystan1352]

Fuck yeah stormlight is awsome i would recomend the rest of the cosmere

[@TheBlahh888]

This channel would be more.dope if it was a reaction channel, we could see your genuime thoughts in real time while watching the movie and you can still discuss afterwards, make a patreon for it too, could be super successful

[@IDPhotoMan]

Matty complaining about Anton's haircut..... shows he tends to miss a lot of the "feel" of these movies.

[@-Sparagmos-]

Yeah the books are better if you completely ignore all the things the movies add to the experience.

[@jacoballen4591]

Yeah maybe you don’t need to force yourself to watch these movies if you don’t like/understand them.

[@Spartansareawesome11]

… I very much disagree, that’s the whole point of this channel and the journey he wants to be taking here. Let him grow

[@jeffmofo5013]

Idk, it was so boring that I forgot about it. Everybody likes to talk about this movie but it's like. Meh. It's just another murder mystery or the opposite, rampage. When every movie and every tv show is the same thing. it gets boring. How many cop shows do we need how many cop movies do we need. Give me creative imaginative expansive story telling. not this one dimensional cop bad guy story nonsense. This kind of crap is exactly what drove me to anime. It's just so repetitive and boring. And the anime people like to hype up Monster, and it's like, it's just a murder mystery. it's so boring. give me something creative and imaginative, like made in abyss The golden compass was good, The hunger games was good, but murder mysteries are boring. I study psychology and probably jades me against cop shows.

[@ColombianThunder]

Brother, you're entitled to an opinion, but hoooly. It's not a murder mystery... It's a coming of (old) age movie. It's okay that you don't like it. It's an unconventional movie. But it would be another thing if you understood it and didn't like it, here, I genuinely don't believe you understood it at all.

[@MysteriousStrang3r]

This was the first and only movie I’ve ever watched on acid lol it was actually nice for some reason

[@Spartansareawesome11]

Because it was so grounded maybe?

[@MysteriousStrang3r]

@@Spartansareawesome11 yeah dude that’s literally how I felt watching it like no highs or lows in my reaction good point
