About the No Country for Old Men film.....

Allow me to say that first of all, it was not my favorite film. nor my favorite genre. I know I'm from Texas, but that doesn't immediately indicate that I am into the Western America stuff. No, no offense to those who do like that genre. I mean no disrespect; it is just not my thing.

However, I will admit that I think that the camera work that was done on that film was pretty cool. I'll admit, I am more of an anime girl, but I have seen my fair share of live action films and such, and believe me, I have seen some pretty poor and unimpressive camera work. I thought that whoever was in charge of the cameras did a great job giving the film its intense feeling, especially with the lack of music, that gave you nothing to be distracted with, so the audience's full attention is on the characters and the action. It is definitely something to take note off, especially when trying to establish the perfect mood in films, since different combinations of camera work, transitions and audio can help establish that.

But like I said; not really my type of film. It was.....interesting to watch though.
