i didnt get the movie "no country for old men" can anyone elaborate the whole movie?

Question

and how did they always find out where the main character was hiding?

Answer 1

Llewelyn Moss (Josh Brolin), out hunting antelope near the Rio Grande, comes across a drug deal gone sour - sour enough to leave behind a cache of heroin, two million dollars, many corpses and one dying Mexican who begs for water. Making off with the money, Moss becomes undone by his conscience. Going back to take water to the dying man, he's discovered and identified by gunmen.

Narrowly escaping the drug runners, he sends his wife Carla Jean (Kelly MacDonald) to safety. A taciturn man, Moss neither reveals to his wife, nor to audience, what his plans are.

Not realizing that a hit-man, Anton Chigurh (played with icy menace by Javier Bardem), an amoral pit bull of a psycopath, has begun tracking him, Moss begins a journey of harrowing near misses and inevitable confrontation.

Tracking them both, Sheriff Ed Tom Bell (Tommy Lee Jones), nearing retirement and nostalgic for the old days, has grown weary of the mounting violence brought about by the burgeoning drug trade.

Independent and resourceful, Llewelyn Moss remains unintimidated by the implacable Chigurh. Both men stick to their convictions until the end, as does Sheriff Bell, but no one remains unchanged.

Many people discover what a man of conviction can accomplish including Carson Wells (Woody Harrelson), the brash bounty hunter hired by a business man (Stephen Root) to intervene. Nothing can stop a man of his word.

Part drama, part action adventure, the film more than studies evil, it meditates on it

Answer 2

SPOILER.

In a few cases, we simply don't have enough to go on to figure out how one character "knows" where to find another. We must trust that the character is wise or informed enough to figure it out.

In the end, Ed Tom (Jones) has already decided on retirement (life) rather than bringing the killer (Bardem) to justice. He knows he found the killer. The Sheriff retires because he realizes that the country he covers (south Texas) is No Country for Old Men. So in the end, he sits at the table and tells his wife about a dream: he heads into snowy, dangerous mountains (his life as a sheriff), and a man goes on ahead of him to await him (the killer still awaits). And then he woke up to the fact that in real life he was acting out this dream. So in the end, rather than live the nightmarish, lethal continuation of the dream, he wakes up to choosing the safer life of retirement. He has taken the lesson from his forcibly retired colleague in the wheelchair: a life of disability isn't worth it.

Actually, the Coen brothers left a big clue when Sheriff Ed Tom goes to the hotel room (behind the crime scene yellow tape) where the assassin, Chigurh, waits. Chigurh has shot the lock cylinder out, indicating to Ed that it's Chigurh's doing, and BOTH of them watch the other's movement in the reflection in the shiny lock tube. Ed Tom draws his pistol and enters for a search, and realizes the killer is still within, given the locked window in the far room.

"Momma, take this badge offa me, ... I feel I'm knockin on heaven's door." -- Bob Dylan, and it's beautifully captured on Jones' old, wincing face when he sits on the bed. So rather than shoot it out, he trusts the killer not to kill him, and he walks out, without pushing it to the point where the killer's other victims utter, "You don't have to do that."

So rather than risk his life, he lets go of capturing his quarry and retires.

Recall that the Sheriff is narrating the past at the beginning of the movie, a clue that he's still alive after the action of the rest of the movie.

Telling his wife of the dream is the final act of letting go of his job, and the movie screen goes black.

AWESOME movie! The Coen brothers really outdid their best efforts (Fargo, Blood Simple). This is the best high-tension thriller I've seen since Silence of the Lambs, maybe the best ever.
