No country for old men

Just recently I watched no country for old men for the first time. It was an unbelievable story that kept me hanging the entire time. The movie begins with a man, Llewelyn moss, coming across a scene in the desert that is full of dead bodies, drugs, and a load of cash. He takes the cash and runs, and eventually is identified by the owners of the money when they find his abandoned truck and trace his identify. The movie basically shows moss moving from place to place, hotel to hotel, trying to escape these men.  I won't give details or the ending away. However, there is much more to this story than violence and money. It is a coming of age story, based on change, and a persons ability to find their place in the world. There is a reason for why it is called "no country for old men", but in order to figure that out, you have to watch this movie and dig for a deeper meaning.
