These two directors could easily be my favorite directors that we have studied so far this semester mostly because of their interesting story lines and their ability to make the viewer think. My favorite movie from the unit is by far No Country For Old Men but both others are amazing movies as well, the reason I find No Country to be my favorite is because of the way they portray the characters and how they take the screenplay and really make it their own. The dark shadow that seems to follow the characters is extremely interesting and always keeps you guessing as to what could happen next, or more specifically who is going to get killed next and in what way. They also leave alot of questions in the film up to the viewer to decide which keeps the film in your mind for long periods of time and gives good discussions with friends. Other movies of note that I have seen by the Coens and loved consist of The Ladykillers, The Big Lobowski, And O Brother Where art Thou? These films are all spectacular and are always filled with witty comments and thousands of plot twists and never get old or boring.
