No country for old men

The opening scenes to no old country for old men is a montage of different images, it introduces us to what looks like an empty environment which gives us a sense of emptiness and the felling of being alone, constantly through this scene there is a narration which looks like it could be giving information about what has happened in the past (which is not made obvious until more of the film has been watched) the opening to this film makes us ask questions and intrigues us to make us want to watch more.

The next shot is of two figures, which then pans round to an establishing shot of the road which makes you feel alone as the road seems to be very long and there is nothing around it, the two figure are in the shadows which hides their identities which again makes you want to watch more to find out who they are and what they are doing.  

The next shot is a close up of what looks like to be gas canister, it is obviously an object of some importance as they made it a focus point with the use of a close up.  

We then come to a shot of a man sitting in the back of a police car, this could suggest that he is one of or the main villain in this film, we see that he is in the shadows which could also suggest that he is a villain.

The next shot is of a police officer who is not a wear of a shadowy figure standing behind him again we see the use of the police officer being in the sunlight suggesting that he is the good guy and the shadows suggesting that the guy behind is the bad guy.

We then come to a scene were the police officer is being strangled this backs up what was said in the previous about him being the villain, we can also see that as the man is slowly dying the floor is being heavily scuffed, this could suggest that his death was a struggle.

We the see the villain taking of his handcuffs and placing them in a sink, this shows the killer acting very normal like he isn't fazed by what has just happened this could suggest that he has done it before and will do it again without even thinking about it, him taking of his handcuffs could suggest that he is on the run for something e.g. murder, the fact that he is willing to cause himself physical harm could suggest that he enjoys pain or it doesn't affect him in what he needs to do.
