No Country for Old Men and Fargo

The films No Country for Old Men and Fargo, both have main characters who share a lot in common. In No Country for Old Men, main character Llewelyn orginally has a low-key life. He enjoys his hobbies of hunting and watching TV with his wife, little did he know that he would be apart of a massive mouse-cat race. Just as Carson Wells said, he's not fit for it. The type of person he seems in the end of the film, violent and murderous, was not who he was. When Llewelyn accidentally shot the deer in the leg and didn't kill it immediately, he went after it and tried to put it out of its misery. Although he was shooting at a deer, this represented the caring Llewelyn that existed in the beginning of the film. In Fargo, main character Jerry originally has a simple life in Minnesota, full of jokes and annoying accents. Little did he know that his money situation would lead to the death of his family members and yet another mouse-cat race. In the end Jerry becomes a killer, he was the reason for the death of many people, and he is the reason why we had to see an atrocious scene of a man exploding out of a wood chipper. Jerry turned into a terrible person, and his "innocent" self was the one that created it.
