Movie Theatre Misadventure

NoCountryforOldMen

I checked out No Country for Old Men on the weekend.  It’s based on the Pulitzer Prize-winning story and is the latest movie from the Coen brothers, the guys who brought us two of my favourites - The Big Lebowski and Fargo.  It’s a good film reminiscent of Fargo - a criminal act spirals out of control, an astute and decent cop is on the case, despite other distractions in life.  The cop in this film is played by Tommy Lee Jones.

So at the end of the movie, and I’m not giving anything away here, his character is describing a dream he had.  At this point, a guy in our row gets up and exits the theatre.  Distracted, I watch him leave… and then the next thing I know, the credits are rolling.  Wha’ happened?  Clearly, the purpose of the dream relates back to the meaning of the movie and I missed it because of buddy.  Great!  Now I have to go back and see it again or wait for it to come out on video.  Has that ever happened to you, where you miss the crucial moment?  Tell me about it in the Comments section below.
