Movie: No Country For Old Men

Interpretation:
The dream monologue at the end sums up the sheriff's feelings about/hopes for the world. He was travelling through a pass in the cold, dark mountains, (living in an age he doesn't understand, in a place he can't escape or see out of), when his father travels by him, doesn't say a word, wrapped in a blanket, (the old world/way of life is passing by him, it needs protection from the harsh present), and it's carrying a flame to light a fire way ahead, (there's still some good left in the world, but it won't last long in the cold, needs to be rekindled in a blaze).

Then the sheriff says he's going to arrive there eventually, and either he means he hopes the world will change to the way it used to be (a hope he realises is futile, because he tiredly says "and then I woke up", it's only a dream), either that or he's hoping for a life after death that'll make some sense to him.

I just thought that was important, everything else I think has been covered by u gaiz ^_^.
