I believe this was one of the best adaptations of a book to film I've ever seen. Excellent work! The Coen brothers are simply amazing! They might be socially awkward but who cares? They sure are geniuses.

Well I thought it was a great film but a bad adaptation. To me, the most essential elements of the book were just left out. Because unfilmable. But as a film on its own: great. But then I can't help myself comparising the two works. Which I shouldn't.

It's an excellent adaptation, and McCarthy's tome is no different from the movie. The final statement about carrying the fire by the sheriff is echoed in The Road and All the Pretty Horses. Cormac is the new Faulkner, a great writer that no one gets.

THE ENDING(OR LACK OF ONE) SEEMS TO BE THE MOST DISCUSSED ASPECT OF THE FILM!!I am sure everyone got a shock out of it..it was like,getting ready to achieve an orgasm,and suddenly,,your genitals vanish!!At first ,the artsy ending pissed me off,but now I realize why the author/movie directors did it.Still,I am glad I didn`t pay to see it!!(thanks to a certain Asian host)

no, they are socialy awkward (is how i percieve them, anyways.) and, they are legends. one of the top 100 films of all time. congrats boys! my other fav's of theirs are 'fargo' and 'the man who wasxn't there'.
