  • Haircut Dude is a hit man. He’s a remorseless psychopath. He’s hunting dude 2.
  • Dude 2 stumbled across a bunch of money from a drug-deal-gone-wrong. He’s trying to hide from everyone who wants it back, including Haircut Dude.
  • Dude 3 is a sheriff. He’s also looking for Dude 2, as part of his investigation into the drug-deal-gone-wrong. He realizes pretty quick that he’s in over his head and probably gonna die.
  • Dude 4 is a bounty hunter. He finds Dude 2 and offers to protect him, in exchange for the money.
  • Haircut Dude kills Dude 2 & 4 & the drug dealers & several others, but he also randomly spares some people, including Dude 2.

  I disagree with the other fella who said there’s no moral or theme. This story is all about destiny, fate and the ever-persistent approach of our own deaths, and also we’re all responsible for our own actions but maybe not our own fates. The story is dripping with metaphor.

  Dude’s books are kinda just slice of life type shit. There is no over arching moral, they are not parables, it just is. Blood meridian really fucked me up trying to parse one of the main characters. It’s not worth it. Just take them as a story.

  It’s mostly old men doing gruff old man dialogue, and I’m there for it.

  It’s not a traditional movie with happy endings and shit.
