Movie: No Country For Old Men

Interpretation:
This movie, imo, is about "growing old" - where once youth and no fear of death reigned, old age creeps in and everything becomes scary. Chigurh is "death" - sometimes random, sometimes planned, sometimes avoided, sometimes seemingly defeated, never permanently escaped. Death wins in the end, in all cases. The sheriff never really is a player, he is old, he can't engage - impotent, if you will, scared - no match for an impending meeting with death. He is overwhelmed by the circumstances. He laments "The world has changed" and indeed it has for the old. The dream scene he recounts at the end is an old man trying to reconcile his life - namely his relationship with his father - a not unprominent theme for a man.
