Mark Strong and Heath Ledger may also have appeared.



``No Country for Old Men'' is a chase story about three men. The setting is Texas, USA in the 1980s. Old-school sheriff Ed Tom Bell (Tommy Lee Jones), creepy hitman Anton Chigurh (Javier Bardem), and quiet Vietnam vet Llewelyn Moss (Josh Brolin) are involved in a drug gang. They are divided into those chasing and those being chased over a large amount of money, and their destinies intertwine.


Jones was first chosen to play the role of Bell, as he was a perfect fit in terms of age, origin, and image, and Bardem was chosen to play the role of Cigar, as there was a possibility that Mark Strong would play the role at one point due to scheduling conflicts, as originally hoped. .


In the end, Brolin was chosen for the role of Moss, as the Coen brothers said, ``It was difficult to find an actor who fit me well.'' In fact, Heath Ledger was originally offered the role (he declined to raise his daughter). It's also surprising to hear that Brolin's audition video was created by directors Robert Rodriguez and Quentin Tarantino, who worked together on Planet Terror in Grindhouse (2007).

Jones, Bardem, and Brolin were cast in the film after many twists and turns, but despite not having any scenes together on the same screen, they still form a splendid ensemble. The Coen brothers' casting of ``emphasis on balance'' is now unthinkable with any other actor.


The film had relatively little dialogue, requiring Jones and Brolin to convey emotion through facial expressions and movements. The role given to these two is to provide driving force and stability. Moss (Brolin) is the one who essentially drives the story, and the ``main focus'' of the entire work is on Belle (Jones).


Brolin must maintain the toughness to keep moving forward, as most of the changes in the film are due to Moss's actions. It is an important task to draw viewers in and fixate them on the screen so that they do not get bored or run out of breath.

``No Country for Old Men'' begins with Bell saying, ``I don't understand recent crimes.'' This line symbolizes the original title, "No Country for Old Men." Bell's mission is to see the entire work from a bird's-eye view. For this reason, Jones, the actor, had to maintain a consistent "good heart" throughout the film without wavering.


In the end, it can be said that Jones fulfilled his role as an anchor, resulting in a profound work that weighs heavily on people's hearts even after viewing it.
