Analysis for No Country For Old Men

At the start of the No Country For Old Men, the main title of the the film comes across the screen, as it slowly fades away Tommy Lee Jones' voice comes into action as it shows the countryside in a country. It shows the mountains and the deserts, Tommy Lee Jones' talks about his weapon and the crimes that happen in his time as Sheffif. Every single shot is a establishing shot of the country, showing the sunrise. The camera then shows a low angled shot of a police car as a police officer takes a man into custody. There is no music in the background, it is just the sound of Tommy Lee Jones' talking about his time as a sheriff and possibly what somebody would hear in the countryside, the rustling of the trees and bushes and the sound of crickets.
