      Editing … Please explain. Though to be honest, I can't understand most of it thanks to Tommy Lee Jones's heavy Texan drawl (watched this in a cinema in London and when the credits rolled everybody just looked around, going "Huh?", "What did he say?", "Did anyone understand that?").

      Editing … You have to realize that this movie isn't about #Javier Bardem killing a bunch of people, the main protagonist is actually #Tommy Lee Jones and his coming of age story. No Country for Old Men takes place in the early 80s and he as a cop is completely overextended with the violent nature of this new wave of drug related crimes. The last scene where he talks about his father reflects exactly that.

      Editing … „The crime you see now, it’s hard to even take its measure. It’s not that I’m afraid of it. I always knew you had to be willing to die to do this job, but I don’t want to meet something I don’t understand. You can say it’s my job to fight it but I don’t know what it is anymore”

      Editing … Yeah, that's true. Also, to me at least, the jist of the movie is basically this idea that, no matter how badly you think things have gotten in comparison to yesterday, it's actually always been like this when you really think about it. That's a thread that runs throughout the film (and the book). But the coming of age story for Tommy Lee Jones's character and how he feels totally out of place is connected to that, hence the title. So yeah, I agree.
