What did he mean by this?
When are you gonna start OP?
>>66727074

So why did frogs fall from the sky?
No Country for old men. Literally no point the movie.
Any John Cassavetes' flick
>>66726894
The point is explained in the intro
>These strange things happen all the time
>>66727231
interesting. no country for old men is one of my favorite movies but I've never though of what the point of the movie is supposed to be.
>>66727313
"Strange things happen all the time" is no justification for a 3 hour movie that shows people just living their lives.
>>66727231
you must have a short attention span
the entire "point" of the movie is literally summed up in that conversation with the sherriff and that old guy near the end
>>66727346
what point would that be? he thought that when he was older God would come into his life?
>>66727325
Just watched it and enjoyed it, I guess the point is that its not a country for old men (sheriff). No pun intented.

One could say that every character-driven movie has no point

so pretty much every PTA film doesn't have a point?
The point of Magnolia was to have a fucking great Aimee Mann soundtrack.

Forgiveness was the "point", I believe. It was a brilliant movie.

This movie was about a man trying to give his life some meaning. He constantly tries asking for some kind of help through the movie.

it's like the scuba diver that got sucked up my firefighter and was found (drowned iirc) in the middle of a burnt forest. truth is stranger than fiction.

I don't really know what it meant but it's supposed to be Biblical.
>>66727579
It's basically just the Book of Job, set in the Coen's childhood, starring an exaggeratedly miserable version of their father
>>66732074
I think the frogs are essentially just an absurd (yet based on fact) visual illustration of the idea that "shit just happens." It's just kind of an over-the-top, somewhat comic way of nailing home the point he's been making the whole movie.
The movie is basically just supposed to be kind of anti-narrative and anti-convention, rejecting the idea that a screenplay needs to follow a certain structure and logic, because real life does not. Real life is just a mess of shit happening. So it's not just surrealism or dadaism, he's still trying to keep it all grounded in reality and human experience, but it definitely is all about making a statement on screenwriting style
I guess its time to watch Magnolia again.
