In reply to Sandeep, No country is about how fate and violence makes an impact on lives of some people in Texas.I think the whole coin tossing episode lays testimony to this fact.In the end Tommy Lee's character comes to terms with this fact when he has a discussion with his Uncle and later with his wife and understands things are getting way out of hand for an aging sheriff like him. Its all an euphemism for how fate and destiny at some level,but to be honest,I didnt care.I was much intrigued by the subtext and intelligence in a movie like There will be blood

:) lol,not a film student Sandeep,just another film buff like you.For me,cinema is a very powerful medium for story telling and I like how people interpret it in different ways.I think my penchant for cinema stems from my liking for stories and comic books as a kid.I think thats something we all have in common

Hi Rajeev,Its one of the most imaginative movies Ive seen recently! If you liked this one I would recommend you to watch Micheal Gondry's 'Eternal Sunshine of a spotless mind',its simply brilliant,one of my all time favourites.The French filmmakers are so innovative,wish we had such good filmmakers in India!
