But how can you have peace when you murder, rob... are violent??It's the freedom to be able to those things that brings him peace. Out of all the characters, Chuigh, was the freest, therefore at peace, than any of the characters.
He was free from the law, even when he was captured. He was able to free himself. He was mentally able to bring himself to violently and coldly kill people. He was at peace in his mind with god. (If that is what he thought existed) He was free from his conscience, from coincidences, from justice. This character is something that is envying.
Take away the murdering and violence part. But how good would it feel to be that free, To have not conscience, to have no coincidences, to be at peace.......
I personally envy this character, for five minutes I'd love to be able to get away from the vices that stop me from being at peace and free.
The murdering and violence part is just the way he goes to getting it. But lets compare what his got to those who have tried.
Into The Wild - This chracter hates the idea of conformity's that he frees himself and goes off looking for his own peace. Which he believes is in Alaska, But when he gets there, it's not the freedom that he desired. Instead it turned against him and there brought loneliness.
Brokeback Mountain - Jack and Ennis are so in love, they are so happy around each other, they need each other so much. But cause of societies in Morales and intolerance of there certain freedom they can't have it. Ennis fears it. Jack yearns for it. They both want this peace and freedom. But it's Jack that only wants to fight for it. He tries endlessly to bring Ennis along on the ride. But when twenty years has passed, he goes else where fr it. And it's in his search that makes brings him to his demise.
As you can see in these examples you can see that they are all in search for there peace and freedom.
But it's in No Country For Old Men, we see a character that has what everyone desires. And what is he? It makes you wonder what the search leads you to? If you really want it? What does it make this men?
If we compared a Chuirgh to a character in Brokeback Mountain. He is cold, manipulative, vengeful and Free......
What character pops in you mind from Brokeback Mountain?
Glad you enjoying my philosophies....
