The original "No Country for Old Men" is set in West Texas in the 80s, and it is said that the Coen brothers designed Anton Chigu's strange hairstyle based on an old photo of the brothel owner, which Mark is a perfect successor.

When Javier first saw himself in the mirror with this hairstyle, he broke down: "I'm desperate. It's not a wig, it's my real hair, and the hairstyle is so bad! You can go to the supermarket to buy milk with this hairstyle and scare the creeps out of passers-by. In order to maintain this image, I had to wear a hair net and walk around on the set, which was so humiliating. Every time I showed up on set, everybody laughed at me. ”

Javier's appearance is not matched by handsome guys and handsome men, but he is recognized as a Spanish actor who conquered Hollywood with his acting skills, he has worked with many big-name directors, and was nominated for Best Supporting Actor as early as 20000.

Javier grew up in a Catholic family, but he didn't worship God.

His strongest belief in life was Al Pacino, and in the 2000 film "When Night Falls", John Depp contributed one of the best performances of his career - playing a transvestite homosexual, and Javier played the Cuban writer who was attracted to him.

After Al Pacino saw the film, he immediately called director Julian Schnabel to ask for Javier Bardem's phone, and left a voice message for the other party in the middle of the night: "I want to tell you how much I love this movie now." Javier woke up flattered, and the actor who had been saying "I don't believe in God, I believe in Al Pacino" felt a great honor. "It was the most beautiful gift I've ever received, and I don't care if he's sincere or just polite. I've always carried this voice with me anyway. ”

Javier was later chosen by Francis Ford Coppola as a junior of Al Pacino, Jack Nicholson, and Robert De Niro, and even a strengthened version of the gangster. Coppola described Javier as an actor who is "ambitious, not bound by fame and fortune, and excited to do something well."

But when it came time to revise the script, Coppola realized that it was better to change the original role for Javier to be a woman, so Javier disappeared from the cast of "Tetro", a role that was later played by Carmen Mora

It is said that Javier, who was physically and mentally exhausted, turned down an invitation to play the lead role in the musical film "Nine", which was released in the same year, and the role was eventually taken by Daniel Day-Lewis, and he missed the opportunity to share the stage with Penelope Cruz again.

Javier is an excellent actor with a variety of acting paths and strong plasticity, his soul runs through the performance, his performance enhances the quality of the film, and he can show his charm through acting, fortunately in "No Country for Old Men", he did not compete with Heath, otherwise he would have been under great pressure.

And the other two protagonists in the film, Bell and Morse, Bell are justice, law, and regulations in society. If Anton is pure evil, then Bell is pure good, our non-imaginary existence, and Moss is an ordinary person in society, who has not yet evolved into a complete good, and is not an absolute evil.

And all this is packaged in the story, its plot is actually very simple, and the logic is tight, and the narrative context is also clearly visible, like all Westerns and crime films, there is a battle between hunt and escape, sheriff and bandit, good and evil.

"No Country for Old Men" is another anti-Hollywood film, it is like a lake with calm waves on the surface, but there is an undercurrent surging at the bottom, and its cruelty between direct reality and cinematic imagination has the power to silence.

Compared with other western works, the west has lost the narrow style of the American chivalry, that is, the so-called "cowboy" in this film, and the West has become unfamiliar like Ang Lee.

The film can be simply boiled down to the following: a man who follows the laws of self and challenges the laws of society destroys the dual power of the civil and the official. The former is the death resistance of ordinary people, and the latter is a legal punishment that represents justice.

When Mark was filming "No Country for Old Men" in rural Texas, something big suddenly happened in the economic world of the United States.

The real estate market in the United States has prospered for several years because of the low-interest policy of the Greenspan era, because the prospects of the real estate market are very optimistic, and various banks and financial institutions have also lent funds to some less qualified borrowers, but with the slowdown of the economy, the Federal Reserve began to raise interest rates to stimulate market vitality, crack down on speculation, control inflation, and lower prices (they say so), and adjusted interest rates 17 times in a month, and the interest rate has risen by 5.2% on March 24.

Affected by this news, housing prices began to cool down sharply, one or two lenders have such a problem, but due to the rise in interest on installments, and these lenders themselves are subprime credit lenders, which has led to a large number of borrowers who cannot repay the loan, the bank will collect the house if they do not repay the money, and the bank will take back the house, but it will not be sold at a high price, and it will lose a large area.

Now the three major stock indexes are falling, the capital market is in a panic, all the banks and funds that hold subprime bonds are found that the subprime bonds in their hands are simply a pile of garbage, and they are selling the bonds in their hands if they can reduce the loss by one point, which triggers panic selling, and the market is just selling orders, not receiving orders.

It is ironic that the credit rating agencies of Standard & Poor's and Moore still rated the CDO agreement, CDS agreement and related financial derivatives as AAA at this time, and at this moment when the stock index is iron, everyone is in danger, and many people are about to sink into the abyss, only these credit rating agencies and the government are singing praises: "Wood is just a mechanism for the stock market to adjust strategically and self-immune!"

The Federal Reserve is also appealing to the market and investors: "Panic, we will save the market at any time!"

In line with this, in the face of $17.4 billion in forced debt from Wall Street, New Century Finance, as the second largest subprime mortgage company in the United States, announced on April 2 that it would file for bankruptcy protection and lay off 54% of its employees.

Fannie Mae was founded in 1938, is a government funded creation, engaged in financial business, to expand the flow of funds in the secondary housing consumer market, he has been managed by some power brokers, Freddie Mac, also known as the Federal Home Mortgage Company, is the second largest in the U.S. government-sponsored enterprises, second only to Fannie Mae in business scale, established by Congress in 1970, as a purpose to open up the second mortgage market in the United States, increase home loan ownership and mortgage rental income.

Since the beginning of the subprime mortgage business, the two houses have been the backbone of the subprime mortgage market, although in March 2000 Gary Ginsler, then the deputy secretary of the Treasury of the United States, suggested that the two institutions should be more regulated and warned Congress that the two houses received no federal funding or government guarantees, but no one ignored them.

In the past three years, other financial institutions have seen the bad situation and quickly withdrawn, while the "two houses" have expanded their unsecured subordinated debt and business, and the business scale has expanded to $5 trillion.

Who would have thought that the market situation suddenly changed, the situation took a sharp turn for the worse, and the two houses were not spared, and its bonds made of loans worth $217 billion that did not meet the securitization requirements were once the most profitable business on Wall Street, but they shrank rapidly in a short period of time, and those structured investment tools SIV and securities companies invested in the same products, suffering credit losses and write-offs of $452 billion, resulting in greater price fluctuations, and the losses of the two houses increased, and finally tasted the bitter fruit.

This led to a two-bedroom situation that had never been seen before, and the company repossessed a three-bedroom house in Michigan for $7,000, and the real estate agent suggested that the price should be pushed down to $5,000, but no one cared, and people would have thought that the house would sell for more than $110,000 in 2005.

The Wang brothers and sisters family foundation holds a large number of hedge fund agreement contracts in its hands, and such a large investment was finally circulated, and Mark could not get the support of the Big Three, and the gossip that he obtained three billion working capital speculation fingers with equity pledge also circulated out, which is a crazy joke and a big piece of fat, and many banks and funds think about how to eat this piece of fat.

Now that these futures contracts have begun to appreciate sharply, many banking institutions have regretted this and have sent lobbyists to reach an agreement with Dewey, the vice chairman of the foundation, in the hope of redeeming these contracts early at a reasonable price.

In the last month, Mark has been questioned, even his long-time partners have questioned his actions, and these futures agreements are even more hot, and many people wait for him to evaporate to nothing, and Mark is ugly.

Sophia, after delving into Mark's information, began to clean up her subprime mortgage business, even if it was a small amount of money, to transfer it quickly, and she officially asked the bank to resign, citing her position as the chairman of the family fund, because Mark decided to relinquish this position.

However, before the official appointment, Sophia moved into the Mark Lake Tahoe villa, and lived in seclusion for a period of time, so she would not wade into this troubled water, and the economic crisis has just begun, and its harm has not yet been reflected, the value of this issue has just appreciated, and the stupid will be sold, no matter who the other party is, if the price does not reach a reasonable point, everything is not to be discussed.

Dewey is only the person in charge, the real masters are Sophia, David, Mark and others, it is estimated that without their nod, Dewey would never dare to sell, in the case of Sophia and David hiding, they found Mark's wife Giselle, Giselle looked innocent: "I am only the assistant to the chairman of MM, and I am not in charge of the affairs of the foundation, Mark has the final say in this regard." ”

So the men approached Mark.
