“What are you going to write this time for the magazine?” I asked
from my good friend Jude. “About ‘No Country for Old Men’ ”, answered
Jude. Mmm.... ‘No Country for Old Men’, Coen brothers’ multi Oscar
winning film. These two brothers really are something. When you look at
those two, you can’t even dream that they would make such a great film.
They really look somewhat geeky.

The technological mutations of cinema gives the
opportunity to more and more people to have access to cinema. One has to
take advantage of this unique opportunity because one has to always, be
able to argue, wherever it could be, on political issues as one would
argue regarding a movie. Correction: Luxury is not the luxury or a

cinema review is a beautiful first step on the road to this rightful
claim.

Cinema as a form of art, basically, falls in to two genres, namely short and feature films. This bifurcation may find closer resemblance with fiction; the short story and the novel. Early history of cinema, mostly, saw the short -length version the film. Gradually, the longer version of the film came to prominence and the short film disappeared.
