The guys that Anton Cigurgh kills at the scene of the drug deal at night, were part of the investigation agency that later sent Woody Harrelson. I love Javier Bardem's performance in this movie, because like the girl said at the end, you have your rules, its not about the coin. Its about you, wanting to do this. And because she challenged him on this, she had to go. She didn't bargain with him, like the others did, and this upset his established Order.

@babadook4404 Год назад

I know Javier Bardem gets a ton of love for his performance and rightly so. But I love Tommy Lee Jones in this; he seems so beat down and weary throughout having to witness all this carnage. His final monologue is the perfect cap on the entire film. "And then I woke up." And I know yall just watched Fargo, another Coens movie. But whenever I watch this film, I think of Marge's words following her discovering the guy shredding his partner in the wood chipper. "And for what? For a little bit of money? There's more to life than a little money, you know. Don'tcha know that? And here ya are, and it's a beautiful day. Well. I just don't understand it." Look at Llewellyn and his wife; was that money really worth it in exchange for their lives?

Next time you watch the movie, look at Tommy Lee Jones shadow he casts. He almost always has two shadows or a reflection of himself in something and a large shadow next to his reflection. I read somewhere that they wanted to make it feel like he lives under the shadow of his father. I don't know if that's true, but seeing him cast two shadows seems to be true throughout the movie.

@vivectelvanni Год назад

Yes. The book is even better and gives some extra scenes. The story is really about the sheriff and the "silence of god". The monologue at the end is such a call-back to earlier Cormac McCarthy when he was really more imbedded in his Southern Gothic lyricism vs. the more bare writing he used for No Country.

And you get a fraction of a hope that there are still decent people left in the/this world, but then as soon as the money enters the equation, the kids start arguing about it.

@LembeckIsStaying Год назад

Good catch.

@ThePartisan13 Год назад

I mean just because they're arguing about the money doesn't not make them decent. That kid was still willing to give Anton his shirt for free unlike the kids earlier that Llewelyn was dealing with who wanted money up front. If anything the message being conveyed would be that money can corrupt anyone. Not that I believe that message to be true irl, but it makes sense in regards to the movie. Llewelyn could have saved his wife had he given up the money to Anton, but he still didn't. Hell had he given his wife the money in the first place the majority of this movie wouldn't have happened.

@@LembeckIsStaying There's also how the car crash and the fact that Anton has to get help from kids shows that the title not only applies to the heroes, but to the villains as well. Anton wants to believe he's in league with fate, yet fate equally doesn't give an F about him.

@lazyatthedisco Год назад

There are many clues that Chigurh was hired by the business man. He was talking with the other two guys before they got whacked by him. Plus the business guy himself said to Woody Harrelson's character "We have a loose cannon here" implying Anton was initially working for him to track the money. What I love about this movie is how Chigurh feels almost like a force of nature, he doesn't interact with almost anyone unless is to kill them and acts savagely, but with his own set of rules. For example in the hotel scene, he shoots but you barely even see anything but a shadow of him, straight out of a horror movie like you said.

@jpotter2086 Год назад

In the book-not that the movie has to follow the book, just offering-Chigurh is freelancing, auditioning to impress a wealthy kingpin, and doing so by showing all the kingpin's underlings, at all levels, to be incompetent. As he says in that office scene, it's foolish and inefficient to send out multiple hunters. PS-the book is even more random and violent!

In my personal interpretation the protagonist isn't Llewellyn, It's Ed the Sheriff, The movie opens with a monologue by him and ends with a monologue by him, He's the narrator and works as the neutral expectator in the unravel of the story, and he is the only one who has a clear arc in the story, He starts the movie by talking about how simple the times were in the old days, He believes the world around him is getting more violent, Until he hears the story about his deceased uncle in that conversation inside the shack where he realizes the world he knows has always been this violent and will aways be this violent because violence is a force of nature, it's nonsensical it has no meaning, which is best examplified by the whole character of Anton Chigurh that kills people without reason and decides on a man's death with a flip of a coin, That's the raw reality the Sheriff has to accept

@VirusZ001 Год назад

The brilliancy of the Coen brothers is their ability to cinematize subtleties that have to be read between the lines in the book by McCarthy. A thorough comprehension of the spirit of the book paired with their already dark and pessimism evoking creativity is what makes this film a masterpiece along with its contemporary There Will Be Blood. One of my favorite parts of this movie is when Tommy Lee Jones tells the wife about the guy who injured himself killing a cow (one of the most defenseless creatures) to where he couldn't lift his arm above his head. After Anton kills the wife (arguably the most defenseless person in the film), he gets injured by no fault of his own, where he can't lift his arm above his head. Beautiful portray of moral chaos even to those who strictly live by moral order. My two cents 🍺

@rx7dude2006 Год назад

When Bell went to the hotel and you see Chigurh behind the door it is all in Bell's imagination as he knows Chigurh has been there, he is just thinking if that is how he will confront him.Also Chigurh definitely ended up with the money as you see the coins that he used to open the grate on the vent but also you see him give that kid on the bike a nice new $100 bill after he gets in that accident.

@rboyd41731 Год назад

The title for this film comes from Sailing To Byzantium, a poem by William Butler Yeats. It is another Coen brothers masterpiece. Again, they are masters of irony because Moss goes back to the sight of the execution to give a man water, yet the man is already dead; thus sealing his fate. I compare this movie to HALLOWEEN as being a straight up horror film and Chigurh is really a version of Michael Myers. A kind of unstoppable killing machine. I think, for me, the movie is about how we are eventually unable to stop anything, especially the older we get. This world is especially tough for the aged, even if it can be brutally harsh for the young. The older you get, the more experience you have, but your usefulness becomes less and less. Anyway, I so love Tommy Lee Jones in this. He is such a great actor. Some trivia: Jones was roommates with Al Gore at Harvard. He got his start in acting on the soap opera One Life To Live. If you get a chance, do a reaction for COAL MINER’S DAUGHTER. He plays Loretta Lynn’s husband Doolittle. You’ll be blown away by his performance and Sissy Spaceck’s performance as Loretta Lynn.

@jaredhawkley Год назад

So glad you finally caught this one. I think the brilliance of this movie is that it leads us to expect a showdown, and when it doesn't happen, we are left to question "what now? What's the story really about?" The three main characters almost don't even appear on screen together. I love how the movie undermines convention and forces us to participate in the telling of the story.

@Jeff_Lichtman Год назад

As soon as you said you studied one of the scenes in film school I knew which one it was. Kelly Macdonald, who played Carla Jean, is Scottish, and she speaks with a Scottish accent. Her accent in this movie was perfect. I was surprised to learn she isn't from the American south. No Country for Old Men is an unconventional movie in a lot of ways. There's no musical soundtrack or score, and there's a lot of silence. The story sets us up to expect a confrontation between Sheriff Bell and Anton Chigurh, but it doesn't happen. Llewelyn Moss dies off-camera, and the killer isn't even Chigurh. The story ends abruptly, without anything really being resolved. I think the car crash that happens near the end shows that Chigurh isn't in control of things as much as he believes, despite his rules. He's just as subject to the random forces of life as anyone else. One thing I like about the Coen Brothers is that they have memorable bit characters. The manager at the trailer park, the salesman at the western wear store, the woman at the pool, Carla Jean's mom, were all distinct and interesting characters despite their minimal screen time.

@slmott399 Год назад

Everyone always rightfully gives credit to Javier Bardem, many give credit to Tommy Lee Jones for his performance, and lots of people shout-out the small supporting roles like the store clerk and the manager of the trailer park. But man.. Kelly Macdonald never gets the credit she deserves. She is incredible in this and yeah, it all starts with her amazing accent. But her acting in her final scene... wow.

@pabloc8808 Год назад

I think the car crash also shows that Chigurh is shaken by the fact that someone saw through his "rules": he would lie to himself by saying there are rules, and that he does things the way he does because of those rules. Carla Jean pointing out that the coin doesn't decide anything was also her pointing out that Chigurh does what he does because he wants to, he has complete agency, but doesn't want to believe that.

@Smeatbass 6 месяцев назад

I felt simialrly the first time watching. The beginning and ending made me wonder what the story was really about. It's only clear after re-watching it and/or reading the book, that it's Sheriff Bell's story. The prologue and epilogue are the bookends to the films themes, and the rest is a masterful cat-and-mouse game facilitated by a pure evil that Bell can never understand. Once I realized that, this became a top 5 movies of all-time. No music, minimal dialog, and the mood of existentialism are the most amazinglly exexuted elements I have ever seen. A true masterpiece of storytelling.

@kevtb874 Год назад

Exactly. It fits thematically and works if you follow the fact that Moss is the central character grappling with the nature of his work and how it will never be done. Good does not always win over evil. Life does not always make sense, or fit into a tidy box or wrap up neatly. How does a good law abiding person come to terms with that? That's the story and exactly the ambigous, troubled thoughts the film wants to leave you with.

The Coen's snatch away from us the viewers the predictable showdown between Brolin's character and Chigurh. Some other mindless mayhem interferes and kills him which just shows what a violent, merciless world the characters live in. There's not just the psychopath Chiguhr roaming around, but other feral groups of outlaws out for their own greed. Hence the title of the film says it all.

@jcon2060 Год назад

I think "No Country For Old Men", "Eternal Sunshine of the Spotless Mind", "The Silence of the Lambs", "Requiem for a Dream" and "There Will Be Blood" are movies where the title is poetic while also being profoundly tied with the story they are trying to tell. "Shogun", "Die Hard", "Twilight", and "the shining" sound really nice too, but I'm not sure why I feel that way.

@frankbiondo3624 Год назад

I still feel that not showing the death of one of the major characters was a poor narrative choice. I realize that the Coen's were trying to be "unique" with that reveal but, the first time I saw the film, I didn't even catch that Brolin was dead. And I still don't understand the meaning of the car accident at the end. Is it because Bardem's character was supposed to believe in structure in the world but this indicates that life is so random and there's no way to actually control anything?

@jcon2060 Год назад
