Coen Bros

I personally really enjoyed the Coen brothers unit and found there films to be really interesting. One of the biggest things that stood out to me was there portrayal of the characters in the films. All the characters were somewhat looked down upon and were made out to be unintelligent. There was also a big focus on criminality. The protagonists in the films were ether criminals or law enforcement figures. All the antagonists almost seem immortal and are ruthless and relentless. For example, the biker in Raising Arizona and Chigurh in No Country for Old Men seem to be unstoppable in there pursuit of there goal. There is a clear and present struggle between good and evil in all three films we viewed creating a on the edge of your seat tension that was really captivating.
