The Sheriff

I was watching Gran Torino today and I saw a lot of similarities between the Sheriff in No Country for Old Men and Clint Eastwood's character. They are both old-fashioned types of people who are not necessarily happy with what is going on around them and to some they may seem grumpy or mean, but I think that they are both characters that audience members generally like. I know that while watching the movie and reading the book I found myself feeling sorry for both characters, and I feel like their attitudes towards change are pretty common for the older generation. I just thought that was an interesting connection.
