![]() ![]() We learn that Pete made a promise to Melquiades, that if he died before Pete, that Pete would take his body to the town of Jimenez, Mexico, and bury him with his wife and children. So, Pete decides to do a little investigating of his own, which eventually brings him to the door of Border Patrolman Mike Norton (Barry Pepper), who thought Melquiades was shooting at him only to discover, after he was dead, that the man had actually been shooting at a coyote. ![]() Pete pressures Sheriff Belmont (Dwight Yoakam) to find the murderer responsible, but Belmont does as little as possible because the deceased was a Mexican immigrant. We see the look of pain and loss as he looks upon his dead friend in the morgue. His best friend in the world was a cowboy named Pete Perkins (Tommy Lee Jones). The film opens when two troopers a dead Mexican in the Texas desert, a man identified as Melquiades Estrada (Julio Cesar Cedillo). My feelings on the film turned out to be - well - mixed. So, needless to say, I walked into the theatre to see this film with the highest of expectations, something I would have never predicted from a film directed by Tommy Lee Jones. It dominated the Cannes Film Festival and the early buzz was phenomenal, but when Tommy Lee needed the critics the most, they opted for "Brokeback Mountain" and "Crash" instead. I mean - seriously - can you imagine anyone sitting through ninety-minutes of "The Benchwarmers"? So, I decided to catch an indie flick that I not yet had the chance to see, "The Three Burials of Melquiades Estrada", which was very likely the most critically acclaimed film of last year, though it received zero Oscar nominations and very little critical buzz when it actually counted. ![]() There was really nothing else opening in wide release this weekend that I wanted to see. ![]() I had already promised I would see "Lucky Number Slevin" with a friend on Sunday night, so that was out of the question.
