No Country For Old Men Opening Analysis

The Scene starts with a black screen & a voice over from Tommy Lee Jones's character, it then switches from a black screen to establishing shots of a western landscape. The camera then pans to a shot an officer putting a man in the car. The sequence then continues to a scene in the station with the officer in focus while on the phone and the man arrested in the previous scene blurred in the background getting up off his seat slowly walking toward the officer on the phone, while the camera slowly zooms to the officer.

The camera then zooms in on the chain of the mans handcuffs choking the officer although this quickly jumps in and out of the shot, connoting the chaoticness the of the situation. The camera then zooms to the face of the man choking the office, this allows the audience to only react the the emotion on the mans face rather than the police officer.
