NO COUNTRY FOR OLD MEN | Morality, Agency and the Inevitability of Death | EXPLORED 

CORRECTION* Chigur didnt kill moss, it was the hired mexican cartel gang that eventually caught up with him and killed him in the motel. They were seen driving away from the murder scene. But, yes, hell of a movie

Anton Chigurh is still one of the scariest antagonist in a movie I’ve ever seen, also great deep dive 👍

Best film that the Cohen Brothers ever made besides the True Grit remake. Love this film and book!

There was a game called time splitters that seems like a childhood fever dream it would be cool to see that explained.

My dad and I love this movie; every time it’s on tv or we see it on demand we’ll immediately drop everything to watch it. Such a masterpiece

I literally just watched this film last night. Epic. I think you missed a few things however, most notably that Chigurh doesn’t kill Moss, and the money actually does end up in the former’s hands by the end, after retrieving it from the motel vent. He gave it back to his employer. Sheriff Bell is actually the main protagonist of the story as well, while Llewelyn is merely a decoy protagonist and the one who drives the plot. Bell’s struggle and inability to piece together the whole story is representative of his status as the true main character and an audience surrogate, merely witnessing a brutal fight between two other parties and trying to make sense of it all. Also, his status as a neutral observer in the story is best exemplified toward the end of the film when Moss is killed; Bell doesn’t witness him die, and so we, the audience, don’t get to see it either.

wooooo perfecct for a rainy day! and im early for once!

This is such a good film. Javier Bardem was a brilliant villain. The twist at the end was perfect. Where Its not always “the hero wins”. Bloody good film.

Ever since I saw this movie if I ever come across a shitload of money imma check for a tracker lmao

Managed to watch this in a couple of hours of procrastination during lockdown, honestly one of the best neowesterns I've seen, would most definitely recommend

One of my all time favorite movies of all time ,it’s a classic

Gooood I love this film. I'm currently taking a Cinematography course in Uni and we've gone over this movie MULTIPLE times. Love it. Love it. Love it.

Maybe it doesn’t mean anything, but at 12:22 , Chigurh attempts to kill the crow, in which the crow may symbolize death. He misses the crow, and I take it that even he isn’t able to defeat death.

I love any conversation about language and how it dictates the world we live in. This is one of my favorite videos from this channel. Love your work!

This is one of those films were you come away from it wanting to know more about the bad guy.

I think a lovely thing about this movie is just how well it flows while following the perspective of so many characters at different points. Many movies have incredible trouble nailing pacing and balancing character screentime. NCFOM flows so well that i didn't realize how odd it was until I tried to describe the movie to someone else and realized I didn't really know who the 'main character' was since all three of them fit so perfectly into the structure of the film. Its very difficult to balance that sort of thing and we often only notice when it goes wrong, so I'd like to just give props to them here for pulling it off. "When you do everything right, it's difficult to tell that you've done anything at all" applies so well to all the subtle things like that that this movie pulls off.

Incredible film, pretty good breakdown. One of my favorite things about this film is the dialog of all the salt of the earth humans that are in it; the trailer park lady “Did you KNOT hear me, I cant give out no INN-Formation” The hotel lady “It’s got 2 double beds.” And the store owner who says “its unusual” to the half naked man. I always remember these small performances from this film.

No Country For Old Men really makes me rethink everything in my life. Especially thanks to Anton.

I find this film the same as Pulp Fiction: great build up, fail to capitalize at the ending. You feel through the movie that something great is building up, and when the moment comes, there's no climax. It just ends. And I see the ending as the most important part of a film, the one you remember the most. And here, I really struggled to remember how these movies ended. But everything else is just greatly done.

All-time favorite film. Perfection.

This movie is a fkn masterpiece. 👊🏻👌🏻

Hell yes! I look at this movie every year, like home alone.

Nobody has mentioned the significance of Sheriff Bell holding his gun as he’s entering the motel room believed to have Anton in. At the start of the movie his monologue talks about the old timers not having guns, he’s not seen to use one up until he walks into the motel. To me this shows that even the old men are forced to bend to the Will of the world and highlights the affect Antons chaotic nature has on those around him, even the most stubborn of us are forced to bend to fate and the chaos around us. Or maybe Im just a pretentious ass that reads too deep into things.

Enough time has gone by so now it's safe to say its one of the top 20 films ever made

Thank god you made a video of no country for old man I love the movie

No country for old man is my all time favorite of Neo Western movies

I did enjoy the film and though it’s been a while since I saw it I remember it left quite the impression. And your analysis really made me want to see the film again. Thanks for that

Holy shit!! I absolutely love this film. Well done, Niyat.🤠 You should do a video for Hell or High Water, another Neo-Western.🔥🙌🏼👏🏼👏🏼 Love dissecting the idealism, philosophy, and the story of films. Have a nice Sunday, Niyat.

Now we are talking! This is one of my all time favs. Love it!!!

The coin determines Chigurh's outcome during the coin tossing. Let us not forget a coin was used to open the vent. If the screw was not flathead, the coin would have influenced a different outcome.

Been waiting for this one. No Country For Old Men is by far one of my favorite movies.

Moss is actually killed a group of cartel gangers completely unrelated to Chigurh's relentless hunt... He wasn't able to collect the bounty on Llewellyn's head, by the narrowest of margins! Don't worry too much, though. He goes out of his way to make good on his promise regarding Carla-Jean, however... Good alternate title could have been... "No one gets outta here alive!"

I've been waiting for this review, so cool, thank you!!!

I highly recommend the book too. It's barely different but gives more info on the sheriff's past.

This is one of your best videos and pays excellent tribute to an incredible movie.

Winner of 4 Oscars including Best Picture! Javier Bardem is terrifying in this movie as the villain Anton Chigurh, as he's a sadistic hitman for the cartel that is hellbent on retrieving the stolen money.

I’ve been waiting for this one! Thank you sir!

Your videos are the only thing keeping me together. Thank you

Thank you for all the awesome content you put out. It is really appreciated.

One of my fav movies of all time

Awesome! One of the greatest!

Thanks Niyat!

Thanks , man , Ive never Expected you to Cover one of my favorite movies , Respect 😍

Dude I’ve never been this early to one of your videos ever I just want to say I love your videos love everything u do my good guy

Another bloody brilliant film and another great analysis! Thaaaaanks

You are my new favorite movie reviewer. I just found your channel and its great!!!! Love it. Please do the Fly and the Fly 2.

Recently discovered your channel. I love your work sir!

Great vid as always, best movie youtuber!

You should explain ‘The Book of Eli’ with Denzel Washington, I’ve always wanted to know the backstory of what happened

With all the great and impactful movies ever made it’s hard to put it, at least for me, at number 1 but it’s damn close. The writers did a fantastic job in every sense which made the actors job a little easier, along with a fantastic actor lineup the dialogue throughout the movie is A+z A Fantastic breakdown sir.

Not dying is just as terrifying as dying

One of my favorite films.

That was genuinely interesting. Thanks!

I can't wait when you do another creature explained those are probably my favorite of your channel

Great movie! 😎

Lots of great insight here, well done.

Brilliant analysis, as usual.

No Country is in my opinion one of the best films ever made

So glad you did this movie

One of my favourite movies.

Thank you! I never knew I wanted you to analyze this film until hearing you break it down. I would love to see your perspective on the game “What Remains of Edith Finch” if you haven’t played it, it is a doozy.

That was an excellent video ty

Can you do a video explaining the splinter monster please and also love your videos💖💖💖😊

Do "hell or high water"

I called it that you’d make a video on this masterpiece.

The ding on the intro to these vids always make me think i got a message on watts app or fb messenger. . .gets me every time lol

Fire is an analogy for good in McCarthys books, The Road , Blood Meridian and No country

Great video

this was amazing much much pleasure

If you're doing Cormac McCarthy, do The Road next, please

Alright another great analysis of a great movie.

Man, I'm really enjoying this channel. Even though I can't stand those "...explained" videos, but I guess "...explored" is quite alright :DDD

Saw this movie for the first time when I wasn't old enough to understand it. At the end I was just like "what, that's it?" Re watched it a few months ago and thought "damn, this is just brutal" great analysis!!!! Would you consider exploring the Deathclaw creatures featured in the videogame saga "Fallout"?

Since Halloween is close, you should consider doing a video on Trick R Treat. Fun movie about the spirit and traditions of Halloween.

"Who was the fool, who the wise man, who the beggar or the emperor? Whether rich or poor, all are equal in death."

Thank u so much for this vid its my favorite movie

great video

Man I really love this movie right now Gandhi No Country for Old Men is it going to snow in my eyes

YESSS AMAZING VIDEO

Great film

Thank you for that.

One of the BEST movies ever!

The theme of this movie is "Chaos reigns. Everything dies." Fight me.

Stupenda analisi 🖤🖤

Masterclass of a movie. Top 10 for me easy.

Plus, you got to the filmmakers credit for not using music mostly at all for this. Using it sparingly

Language is just as precise, or opaque, as we allow it to be. If the person attempting to convey the idea in question hasn't a proper grasp of language, than yes, it can be jumbled. Or it can intentionally cryptic, to force each person to grasp their own meaning from what is being said.

every single breakdown i've seen of this depresses me. no, not depresses, but makes me feel isolated. to me, the meaning is very clear, but everyone seems to layer nonsense upon nonsense all over it.

I think the movie has a lot to do with people struggling with the silence of God, especially with Sheriff Bell. The first scene in the movie is him monologueing about the old days of some Sheriffs not carrying a gun and not understanding the fact that greed drives most people and that often just ends bad for them. It's the simplest things that most people struggle over but everyone can understand why the Cartel at the drug deal died, greed over money. Now when it comes to why did the "good guy" have to die? He was selfish. Why did the bad guy get away? No one was strong enough to stand in his way. Why do old men get depressed about the things they couldn't accomplish? Because they were too weak to focus on doing as much good as they could and being content with what they have. All simple answers but people sometimes just can't cope with the fact that that's just how things turned out and there's nothing more they can do.

Yes please

This is my favorite movie

When I watched this film during Alevel film last year I didn’t like it, but after watching this there’s a new appreciation for it and I will rewatch it soon. Still gonna write about inception in the exam though just because I know it better

I haven't even watched it and know this is going to be good

Anton Chigurh is terrifying AF

Can you please do “Dark was the night” next?

Id love to see you do a video on The Illusionist Starring Edward Norton

@FilmComicsExplained Can you try to do the Orc race from the Warcraft Universe? Including their evolution, their cultures, and what events they caused.

Can you please explain the Sudden Departure from The Leftovers?

Watched a film called the endless that thought would be good for this channel. It's about timeloops n stuff

Can Oedipus the king be compared to this movie? There are some similar ideas here.
