The Coen brothers' No Country for Old Men overturns the traditional storytelling with its de-sensational climax of no ending. The whole intense cat-and-mouse action between Llewelyn Moss, Anton Chigurh, and Sheriff Bell ends with a simple scene where Bell tells another hazy dream he remembered; the resolution denies viewers a perfect showdown but rather is made to reflect on fate, morals, and inevitability of change. By leaving unanswered key questions, the Coens emphasize the randomness of violence and the futility of trying to make sense of a chaotic world.
