影片对白
Ed: I was sheriff of this county when I was twenty-five years old. Hard to believe. Grandfather was a lawman. Father too. Me and him was sheriffs at the same time, him up in Plano and me out here. I think he was pretty proud of that. I know I was. Some of the old-time sheriffs never even wore a gun. A lot of folks find that hard to believe. Jim Scarborough never carried one. That the younger Jim. Gaston Boykins wouldn't wear one up in Commanche County. Now I always liked to hear about the old-timers. Never missed a chance to do so. You can't help but compare yourself against the old-timers. Can't help but wonder how they would've operated these times. There is this boy I sent to the electric chair in Huntsville here a while back. My arrest and my testimony. He killed a fourteen-year-old girl. Papers said it was a crime of passion but he told me there wasn't any passion to it. Told me that he'd been planning to kill somebody for about as long as he could remember. Said if they turned him out he'd do it again. Said he knew he was going to hell. Be there in about fifteen minutes. I don't know what to make of that. I surely don't. The crime you see now, it's hard to even take its measure. It's not that I'm afraid of it. I always knew you had to be willing to die to even do this job. But I don't want to push my chips forward and go out and meet something I don't understand. A man would have to put his soul at hazard. He just has to say, "Okay. I'll be part of this world."
妙语佳句，活学活用
1. a while back
也作a while ago，指“过去，曾经”，例如：I ran into Barbara a while back but didn't get her new address. 我曾偶遇过芭芭拉，但没有她的新地址。
2. turn out
这里的 turn out 是“赶出，驱逐”的意思，那个囚犯的意思是说“如果司法人员把他从监狱里放出去的话”。我们来看个例子：The landlord turned out his tenant. 房东把房客赶了出去。
3. make of
这里的make of 是“了解”的意思，通常是make (something) of (something)，即to understand (something) by or from (something)，例如：What do you make of all this? 你从这些情况中了解到了什么？
4. take one's measure
也作take the measure of someone，这个片语的意思是“size someone up, evaluate someone or something 评价，评判”，例如：At their first meeting, heads of the company generally try to take each other's measure. 第一次见面，公司的领导们通常会彼此评价。
5. push one’s chip forward
这是一个比喻的说法，chip 是人们在赌博中使用的筹码，也就是代表钱，所以 push one’s chip forward 的意思就是“担风险”。
6. put one’s soul at hazard
Hazard 指“危险”，put one’s soul at hazard 就是指“冒着生命危险”。

电椅死刑的历史
美国是现在世界上唯一采用电椅处死的国家（菲律宾因被美国占领过，也采用过这种方法）。电椅是1888年在纽约率先被采用的，请注意，电灯是1879年在纽约被发明的，两者只相隔9年。这就是说，电椅也是人类最早的电力应用之一。电椅是由爱迪生公司推出的，而他推出电椅的动机，居然是推广直流电。
欧洲最早处死犯人的方法是绞刑（Hanging），法国大革命期间因为觉得绞死太慢，就发明了断头台（Guillotine）。不过，美国从来没有采用过断头台，一直是绞刑。小说《红字》里，一个重要的场景就是绞刑台。
到了19世纪后期，美国人开始觉得绞刑太残酷了。比如，有一个犯人在绞架上整整挣扎了15分钟，令所有在场的人备受折磨。1886年，纽约市成立了一个委员会，寻找处死犯人的新方法，而且马上就要采用。
爱迪生觉得这是一个推广电力的好机会。由于他使用的是直流电（DC），而另一位发明家George Westinghouse使用的是交流电（AC），两者存在竞争。他觉得可以用交流电去处死犯人，从而告诉公众交流电是多么危险，从而转而使用直流电。他和助手用小动物做试验，到处展示，表明交流电击是一种迅捷有效的处死方法。
1888年，纽约州同意采用电椅。1890年8月6日，William Kemmler成为第一个被电椅处死的犯人。下图就是历史上第一张电椅（它被叫做Kemmler电椅），以及当时的情景。
此后，美国各州相继采用这种方法。它成为美国主要的死刑方法。
从80年代中后期开始，越来越多的人觉得电椅过于残酷，从而要求取消它。如果你看过电影《Greenmile》，就知道这是千真万确的事实。现在，注射(Lethal Injection)已经成为美国主要的死刑执行方法。
但是，电椅并没有消失。在Alabama、Florida、South Carolina、Virginia州，犯人可以自行选择电椅还是注射，在Nebraska州电椅是唯一的死刑方法。在Kentucky和Tennessee州，1998年前犯罪的犯人适用电椅。在Illinois、Oklahoma和Florida州，电椅只是理论上的死刑方法。这样，美国现在还保留电椅的州一共11个。美国上一个被电椅处死的人是James Neil Tucker，2004年5月在South Carolina。
下图上，深绿色区域是现在还有电椅的州，浅绿色区域为历史上用过电椅，现在已经不再用的州。

影片简介
No Country For Old Men
is a 2007 film adaptation of Cormac McCarthy's novel of the same name. Filmmakers Joel and Ethan Coen wrote and directed it for a 2007 release. The title is from the first line of W. B. Yeats' poem "Sailing to Byzantium".
Llewellyn Moss is an antelope hunter and Vietnam War veteran who stumbles across the aftermath of a drug-related gun battle which has left everyone dead save a single badly wounded Mexican. Moss finds a truck full of heroin and a satchel with $2.4 million in cash. He takes the money, but leaves the Mexican alive, which ignites a hunt for Moss that stretches for most of the remaining novel.
Sheriff Ed Tom Bell investigates the drug crime while trying to protect Moss and his young wife with the aid of other law enforcement. The sheriff is haunted by his actions in World War II, for which he received the Bronze Star Medal. Now in his late 50s, Bell has spent most of his life attempting to make up for the incident when he was a 21 year-old soldier. He makes it his quest to resolve the case and save Moss.
Complicating things is the arrival of Anton Chigurh, a violent sociopath hired to recover the money. Chigurh uses a captive bolt pistol (called a cattlegun in the text) to kill many of his victims and destroy several cylinder locks to open doors. In one of his final murders described in the book, he gives a long speech about causality and fate to his victim. Wells, a rival hitman and ex-partner of Chigurh, is also on the trail of the money.
Things turn dangerous when various men, ranging from ruthless freelancers to ex-Special Forces members, turn up to find out the truth and destroy all evidence.
