Bunissima

I was paralysed with fear. I could hear the person at my door trying to get in. I did not know what to do, and I though that if I’d move, the person would hear me and then I had no way out of this, for sure. When I heard the door opening I took whatever I could grab. And I waited. When the door to my room opened, I hit her. And then I ran away. I could see her body, ’cause it was a she, and it was weird looking, with a big belly and huge boobs, over wich some unkempt hair stood out. I could not see the face. I could only guess her hideous hate.

Then I am in a different place, with some family. The same hideous appearence in her gray-bluish costume, with a weird gun trying, with the certainity of the winner, to kill. All I remember is that I threw a spike at her and that her eyes promised to revenge even if you could see a hint of doubt, and some blood, for once.

And then I woke up. I remembered I had seen “No country for old men” the night before. It is the third time when this happens. I get nightmares from movies with a lot of violence in them. The first one that gave me the nightmares was Mel Gibson’s Passion of Christ. The second, Mel Gibson’s again, Apocalypto. One could say that everything Mel can do is give nightmares to people.

But, boy, this movie was just the best I even seen (>read this with a Southern accent). I think that Bardem did a great job. I still hate thim for having played such a role, because, no doubt, anyone would hate a killer like Chigurh, and it’s still hard for me to make the difference between the actor and the character. That is because he scared me so goddamn much.

And the second thing that makes me say it’s a great movie, eh, well, it’s my bad, but it really tricked me into believeing it was actually made in the ‘70 or so. I mean, really, I tried to find everything that might betray its recent age, but nothing. All the details were so well thought, the hotel rooms, the streets, the people’s clothes, the haircuts, the two kids at the end(that really convinced me). I usually guess the decade when movies were made. This one tricked me, and I had been told it’s new… I just thought I got it wrong. Besides, I was thinking that Woody Harrelson looked older just because of the cameras they used in the ‘70. And at some piont I convinced mself that it was not Tommy Lee Jones who played the Sheriff.
Not that I complain about it, but I still wonder why the killer in the movie turned to be a woman in my dream?
