The background of the original no country for old people is set in western Texas in the 1980s. It is said that the Cohen brothers refer to the appearance of the brothel owner in an old photo and design Anton Chigu's strange hairstyle, which mark is a perfect inheritance.

When Javier first saw himself with this hairstyle in the mirror, his heart collapsed: "I'm desperate. It's not a wig, it's my real hair. The hairstyle is too bad! You can frighten passers-by when you go to the supermarket to buy milk with this hairstyle. In order to maintain this image, I have to wear a hairnet and walk around on the set. It's a shame. Every time I appear on the set, everyone laughs at me."

Javier's appearance has nothing to do with handsome men, but he is recognized as a Spanish actor who conquered Hollywood with his acting skills. He has cooperated with many famous directors and has been nominated for the best supporting actor as early as 2000.

Javier grew up in a Catholic family, but he did not worship God.

His strongest belief in his life is Al Pacino. In the 2000 film when night falls, John Depp contributed one of the most outstanding performances in his career - playing a transvestite homosexual, and Javier played a Cuban writer attracted by him.

After Al Pacino saw the film, he immediately called the director Julian Schnabel to call Javier Baden, and left a voice in the middle of the night: "I want to tell you how much I love the film." Javier woke up and was flattered. The perennial "I don't believe in God, I believe in Al Pacino" The actor said, "this is the most beautiful gift I have ever received. I don't care if he is sincere or just polite. Anyway, I always carry this voice with me."

Later, Javier was selected by Francis Ford Coppola as a descendant of Al Pacino, Jack Nicholson and Robert De Niro, and even an enhanced gangster. Coppola described Javier as an actor who "is ambitious, does not stay for fame and wealth, and will be excited to do one thing well".

However, when revising the script, Coppola found that it was better to change the role originally left to Javier into a woman, so Javier disappeared on the card list of Tetro, which was later played by Carmen Mora

It is said that Javier, who was physically and mentally exhausted, refused the invitation of the hero of the song and dance film nine released in the same year. The role was finally taken away by Daniel Day Lewis, so he missed the opportunity to share the stage with Penelope Cruz again.

Javier, as an excellent actor, has changeable ways and strong plasticity; his soul runs through the performance; his performance improves the quality of the film; he can show his charm through performance. Fortunately, in no country for old people, he did not compete with heath on the same stage, otherwise he would be under great pressure.

The other two protagonists in the film are bell and moss. Bell is justice, law and regulation in society. If Anton is pure evil, then bell is pure good and our non imaginary existence. Moss is an ordinary person in society, which has not yet evolved into a complete good, but not an absolute evil.

And all this is packaged by the story. Its plot is actually very simple, with strict logic, and the narrative context is also clearly visible. Like the combination of all Westerns and crime films, it is about the competition between hunting and escape, sheriff and bandits, justice and evil.

"No country for old people" is another anti Hollywood film. It is like a lake with calm surface but surging undercurrent at the bottom. It is cruel between straightforward reality and film imagination, and has a silent power.

Compared with other Western works, the West lost the narrow style of American chivalry, that is, the so-called "cowboy". Like Ang Lee, the West became no longer familiar. At the beginning, the West under its lens was very beautiful, and the vast Gobi in the West seemed to observe all this quietly. Compared with human fighting, it had an aggressive sense of destruction.

The film can be simply summarized as follows: a person who follows the self law and challenges the social law destroys the dual forces of civil and official. The former is the death resistance of ordinary people, and the latter is the legal punishment representing justice.

When Mark was filming "no country for old men" in rural Texas, something big happened to the American economy.

The US real estate market has prospered for several years because of the low interest rate policy in the Greenspan era. Because it is very optimistic about the prospects of the real estate market, banks and financial institutions also lend funds to some borrowers with poor qualifications. However, with the economic slowdown, the Federal Reserve began to raise interest rates to stimulate market vitality, combat real estate speculation, control inflation and reduce prices (that's what they said). The interest rate was adjusted 17 times in a month. By March 24, the interest rate had risen by 5.2%.

Affected by this news, house prices began to drop sharply. It's OK for one or two borrowers to have such a problem. However, due to the rise in the interest of installment payments and the fact that these borrowers themselves are subprime credit borrowers, this has led to a large number of borrowers who can't repay the loan. The bank takes back the house without paying back the money. The bank takes back the house, but can't sell it at a high price and makes a large loss. Now it's on the market CDO and CDs on the Internet have become hot potato, which everyone can't throw away.

Now, the three major stock indexes are falling together, and the capital market is in panic. All banks and funds holding subprime bonds find that the subprime bonds in their hands are a pile of garbage. Based on the principle of reducing losses by one point, they sell their bonds one after another, which leads to panic selling. In the market, they just sell orders without receiving orders.

Ironically, standard & Poor's and Moore's credit rating agencies still rated the CDO agreement, CDs agreement and related financial derivatives as AAA at this time. At a time when the stock index is large, people are in danger and many people are about to sink into the abyss, only these credit rating agencies and the government sing praises: "wood! It's just a mechanism for strategic adjustment of the stock market and self immunity!"

The Federal Reserve is also calling on the market and investors: "panic, we can rescue the market at any time!"

In response, new century finance, the second largest subprime mortgage company in the United States, announced on April 2 that it applied for bankruptcy protection and cut 54% of its employees in the face of $17.4 billion from Wall Street.

Founded in 1938, Fannie Mae is a government funded company engaged in financial business to expand the flow of funds in the secondary housing consumption market. It has been managed by some power brokers. Freddie Mac, also known as the Federal Housing Mortgage Corporation, is the second largest government sponsored enterprise in the United States. Its business scale is second only to Fannie Mae. It was established by Congress in 1970, It aims to develop the second mortgage market in the United States and increase family loan ownership and housing loan rental income.

Since the subprime mortgage business, Fannie and Freddie have been the backbone of the subprime mortgage market. Although Gary kingsler, then deputy secretary of the U.S. Treasury, suggested strengthening the supervision of the two institutions in March 2000 and warned Congress, "Fannie and Freddie" did not receive funds from the federal government or government guarantee, they were ignored.

The concept of "implicit guarantee" enables Fannie and Freddie to borrow at preferential interest rates and support the American housing market. It also makes Fannie and Freddie bold and adventurous in operation. In the past three years, other financial institutions have taken a bad turn and evacuated rapidly, while Fannie and Freddie have expanded their unsecured sub-prime bonds and business, and the business scale has expanded to US $5 trillion.

Who would have expected that the market situation would suddenly change and the situation would turn sharply downward, and Fannie and Freddie could not be spared. The bonds made of loans that failed to meet the securitization requirements worth US $217 billion were once the most profitable business on Wall Street, which shrank rapidly in a short time. Those structured investment vehicles SIV and securities companies invested in the same products and suffered US $452 billion in credit losses and write downs, Lead to greater price fluctuations, increase the losses of Fannie and Freddie, and finally taste the bitter fruit.

This made Fannie and Freddie encounter a tragic scene they had never encountered. The company took back a three bedroom house in Michigan and offered us $7000. The housing agent suggested that the price should be reduced to US $5000, but no one paid attention to it. Where did people think that the price of this house reached US $110000 in 2005.

The Wang brothers and sisters Family Foundation holds a large number of hedge fund agreements and contracts. Such a large investment finally spread. The gossip that mark can't get the support of the big three and gets $3 billion in working capital to fry the futures index with equity pledge also spread. This is a crazy joke and a piece of fat meat, Many banks and funds want to eat this fat.

Now these futures contracts have begun to appreciate significantly. Many banking institutions regret it and send lobbyists one after another, hoping to reach an agreement with Dewey, vice chairman of the foundation, and hope to redeem these contracts in advance at a reasonable price.

Last month, mark was also questioned. Even his partners questioned his actions. These futures agreements were hot potato. When many people waited for him to evaporate to nothing, mark made a fool of himself.

After in-depth study of Mark's information, Sophia began to clean up her subprime mortgage business. Even if she made less money, she had to transfer it quickly, and she officially resigned from the bank on the grounds that she was the chairman of the family fund because Mark decided to give up this position.

However, before taking office, Sophia moved into Lake Mack Taihao villa and lived in seclusion for vacation for a period of time, so she would not go through this muddy water. In addition, the economic crisis has just begun, and its harmfulness has not been reflected. The value of this index has just appreciated, and it will be sold only if she is stupid. No matter who the other party is, the price is not reasonable.

Dewey has the final say, but the real ones are Sophia, David, Mark and others. They are not expected to sell their heads. Dewey never dares to sell them. When they are hiding in Sophia and David, they find Mark's wife Giselle, and Giselle is innocent. "I am only the assistant to the director of MM, and I am not responsible for the foundation.

So these people went to mark.
