Re: No Country, anyone else bothered by the fact that Llewelyn’s death happens off camera? You spend all this time with the guy, following his escape from evil cartel dudes, dogs, and multiple confrontations with the seeming personification of evil, have all of this emotional investment with seeing him make it through, are privy to his plans and how he is handling everything, and then he gets smoked while Tommy Lee is pulling up to the hotel.
I get that that’s how it is in the book, and it speaks to the theme of evil and the randomness of events that is later reflected when Anton gets in the car crash, but man is it unsatisfying storytelling.
