TWBB understory

Submitted by Anonymous (guest) on Thu, 04/10/2008 - 12:28pm.

I thought it was quite clear. Daniel is the rather large chocolate bar that moved to St Louis and Ely and Paul are the New Orleans Hornets and a small bucket of chicken. The chocolate bar and chicken represent the fear and pain in every day life in India while the hornets repesent love from the Dahli Llama.

It's quite clear. We are reading too much into this movie. It's a great movie about greed, both for money (Daniel) and for attention (Ely).
It is probably one of the best 5 movies of the last 10 years in my opinion, and clearly, the Academy needed to give No Country for old men the award becasue it wasn't profitable enough (even though the box office was bigger that TWBB). And just as clearly, the Academy is llike a high school clique .... supporting some producers becasue they are friends and bashing others becasue they just don't play this silly Academy game.
