Character Profiles- No Country For Old Men

Image result for llewelyn mossLlewelyn Moss, is shown to be the hero in the film. He is a 36 year old Vietnam War vet. He finds 2.4 million dollars after a drug deal gone wrong. Llewelyn knows the money will changed his and his wife's life. However, after taking this money he then gets himself in to a lot of trouble with Anton Chigurh who is trying to kill him. Llewelyn I think represents most of the audience, the audience try and sympathies with him, as all he wanted was a better life for his family.

Image result for Anton chigurhAnton Chigurh, is the villain of the film. He is cold and calculated , he doesn't seem to have any emotions of kindness or sympathy. He also hardly feels pain. Chigurh has set rules that he goes by but not any sane human would. Chigurh says he has no enemies but that's because he kills anyone that could be. He is also a man of his word, if he says he's going to kill you he is going to kill you.


Image result for sheriff bellSheriff Bell, is the 'useless' character in the film, he says how much he wants to protect Llewelyn, but he fails. He wants to help Carla Jean. He fails again. He is apart of the 'good Vs. evil' but the audience never know what side he is fighting for. He never actually confronts Anton Chigurh, he retires. So, we presume that Chigurh is still out there killing. However, Bell does feel quality. He says at the end of the film that he got a medal from going to war, but he got that medal from surviving but all of his friends died. He says he carried this feeling of quilt, until he tells his wife.




Image result for carla jean mossCarla Jean Moss, is Llewelyns wife. Even though she is kept in the dark about the money, she knows something is wrong. She is loyal to Llewelyn even when he tells her she needs to run away, even if he is a criminal she still believes in him. By trusting him, this immediately puts her life in danger as Llewelyn doesn't take Chigurh seriously. Even though Chigurh gets the money he still kills Carla because he keeps his word, and also because Llewelyn didn't hand the money straight over to him which made him an inconvenience and since he dies earlier on in the film, he kills his wife instead.

Comparison Of Wasp And Soft

Both 'Soft' and 'Wasp' are British short films. Wasp, was directed by Andrea Arnold and was released is 2003. Soft, was directed by Simon Ellis and released in 2007. Both short films look at the trouble families are faced with, however they're portrayed in different ways. In the short film 'soft' it shows the problems that a father and son have been faced with. Whereas, in the short film 'wasp' they look at a young single mother who wants to go out with an old friend, while still having to look after her four young children.

We are also shown the father wearing a suit, which has connotations that he is a business man. Whereas, in Wasp even though they use an establishing shot we're shown a completely different setting, we're shown the estate in whic
