As an Oscar front, media shows and premieres are essential, then there is spending money to get the press and critics to tout, and then there is signing up for various film festivals to make a name for themselves.

Like the original version of "No Country for Old Men", which participated in the Cannes Film Festival in France and was nominated for the Palme d'Or, but in May this year, the Mark version of "No Country for Old Men" was still being filmed?

They are scheduled to be released in July and early August, and will participate in all film festivals at home and abroad, such as the Texas Fantastic Film Festival, which is known as the first shot of the awards season, the Toronto International Film Festival in Canada, and of course, the Venice Film Festival in August is their main competition before the Oscars season.

The premiere of Mark's "No Country for Old Men" was still quite large, they chartered the Kodak Theater for the premiere, led by Mark, all the leading creators were present, and fifty or sixty film critics were invited, as well as nearly 100 media to watch the movie, which was the biggest momentum in this year's Oscar front.

Marc, who made "The Twilight Zone", is he running for the Oscars, is he here to be funny or to humiliate himself?

However, at the invitation of the MM Group's sincerity, they were embarrassed to refuse, Mark is a man with a head and a face, and there is no good end for squirting without anything, but since he has his own butt and disgusting people, don't blame the big stick for poking.

During the filming of "No Country for Old Men", there were many unfavorable rumors, this is known as Mark's most unsuccessful movie, Mark was bitten by a snake during filming and was hospitalized by mosquitoes, Tommy Lee Jones fell from a horse, Javier was beaten for his ugly appearance, Blake was injured during filming, Heath was bitten by a dog, fell into the icy river and got pneumonia, etc., as well as electricity leakage on the set, almost burned the roasted scallops, nothing went smoothly, wishful thinking.

Mark was bitter in an interview with the media, saying that this was the most painful and hardest creation of his career, and he was mistreated by McCarthy when writing the script, and there were twists and turns during the filming.

The creators also vented their bitterness in an interview, admitting that the filming work was very hard, but the director had effective scheduling and good guidance, saying that it was a hard but pleasant experience and benefited a lot.

"No Country for Old Men" opened in everyone's disappointment, and Mark's traditional fans disagreed with his dedication to the academy, and there were cool films instead of literary films, which was to be famous and not profitable.

The media critics did not think much of Mark, who was born in the Black Five category, and switched to the Oscar front, they prepared the board and waited for the spray.

Just looking at the title, it's easy to think of it as a respectful old age film, the story is based on the Pulitzer Prize-winning Cormac McCarthy's eponymous story, which revolves around heroin, $2 million and serial murder. The title "No Country For Old Men" is derived from the first sentence of the poem "Sailing to Byzantium" by the famous English poet Keats in the early 19th century, which can be interpreted as "that is not a country suitable for old people". The film stars three heavy actors: Tommy Lee Jones, Javier Bardem, Heath Ledger, cowboys, shotguns, bombs, chases, and stratagems, staging a wonderful "cat and mouse game", rough and profound.

At the premiere, Tommy Leigh Jones, who plays the sheriff in the film, said: "Humor is the engine that drives the film forward, and the film is not only gloomy and dark, but importantly, it is funny." The end of the film is thought-provoking, and I hope the audience will not forget how to laugh. ”

Blake Lively, who plays the central character in the film, the wife of a Vietnam veteran who picks up the stolen money, says that "the humor in the film is a bit like laughter in a church or a funeral." I think Mark does a great job of combining humor and a dark environment. ”

The famous business magazine Variety said: "It's one of Mark's best films, it's a great work. ”

The authoritative film magazine "Hollywood Reporter" also highly praised "No Country for Old Men", saying that it is a "shocking" work.

According to a film critic of Rolling Stone magazine, "No Country for Old Men" gives people a feeling of being like an iron arrow before the bow is opened, a volcano before the eruption, and the tension is amazing; the continuous sorrow and profound humanistic reflection are carefully woven into the gripping plot, and the powerful black humor is really another perfect handshake between literature and film art. The review also said that this is Mark's best film to date.

"Anyone who watches this film won't be disappointed!" Steven Hunter, The Washington Post

"Supporting actor Javier Barden's acting skills are the most attractive, and "No Country for Old Men" is a desert movie that combines humor, acting and thriller. Richard Collins, Time Magazine.

If it weren't for Mark's "No Country for Old Men", perhaps the audience's image memory of the West would still be stuck in the sparsely populated western town, the old impression of the upright sheriff loyally guarding his homeland against foreign invaders, the moral decline of the modern West, the collusion of police and bandits, the gray interests have become the bond between people, law and order no longer exist, and the evil belief of countering violence with violence and "striking first is strong" has become the law of survival in the modern West. Los Angeles Times

"No Country for Old Men" is another noir, alternative aesthetic masterpiece that Mark has brought into mainstream commercial blockbusters. San Francisco Chronicle.

"No Country for Old Men" is definitely Mark's best movie, its distinctive sign is that the theme is about money and murder, the protagonist is always a little person who is pushed to the center of the event by mistake, and the ending is naturally always chicken and egg, you die and I die, Mark is good at plot layout, atmosphere creation, black humor, high IQ suspense, all of which are vividly reflected in this new work, and the story of "No Country for Old Men" digs deeper than previous Mark works is a deeper understanding of human nature, time, Topics such as fate have also been deeply discussed, in the framework of the absurd story, in fact, it is a sad story close to human nature itself, coupled with the personality style of photography, and the more desolate Texas wasteland renders a kind of intoxicating and heartbreaking tragic charm, so the film is a black taste that is beyond life on the surface, but inside it is a very humanistic survival reflection, no wonder North American film critics have closed the coffin, calling this film the most perfect work since Mark's film. The New York Times.

To everyone's surprise, "No Country for Old Men" was actually a good reception in terms of media ratings.
