Coen brothers movies are really challenging for the audience to digest their film-making style and how they handle realism.When it comes to 'No Country For Old Men', it also requires multiple views for understanding the shots and frames.Consider the very first scene after the narration of old sheriff.
1)A fade-in shot with 3 major objects.Gun, Handcuff, and siren of the car, they reveal the theme of the movie and tells "It is about law-makers and law-breakers".This is a long shot and these objects are placed on the right side and the left side occupied by the endless road.It stands for "Journey". So the idea of the scene is "Journey with law and justice".
2)The next shot which longs 6 seconds shows the stun-gun and it enters inside the car.It exhibits that this gun may become our major object through this journey.
3) Chigurh's face is covered by shadow.This is for showing the nature of our antagonist. And this frame can be separated by 3 layers, and they are Sheriff, Steel bar and Chigurh.And it looks like,"The Beast in the Cage".
4) This Scene filled with details which speak about the characterization of Chigurh in the movie.In this scene, we can see brightness and darkness that separated by the invisible center line.Chigurh sits in the region of darkness and represents that, "Symbol of evil".
5)And the next is the curious scene with more than 10 shots.In the First 5 shots, sheriff's face is the only thing visible in the scene to show his struggle.After we can see Chigurh's face with avoidance of sheriff's face.
6)Next two shots are placed to showing Chigurh's activities, he washes his hands and leaves the place.This low- angle shot refers the view of God.It means "God looks the sin of every man, he will not forget even they wash their hands in the holy water".And the next show the marks on the ground, which tells that "Man leaves his sin on the land".And Chigurh leaves the place with stun-gun.
