NO COUNTRY FOR OLD MEN | MOVIE REACTION 

The coin toss scene is unbelievably well acted by both of them.

Some of the most deafening silence ever in a movie will be found in No Country for Old Men. Very daring choice to have basically no soundtrack but it really lends to the tenseness of the movie, making it feel more like we're watching real life. And all these years later I'm still trying to decide what Tommy Lee Jones' closing monologue was really about, I love it so much

Kelly Mcdonald does an incredible job as Carla Jean considering she's a Scottish actress. That accent is top notch.

36:54 Fun fact: He was reaching in his desk for his red stapler but couldn't get to it on time.

The two dreams of his Ed tells his wife about - obviously set some time after the main story - are such powerful and poetic portents of death. No country for old men, indeed.

I'm really happy that you were able to fully appreciate this movie in all its subtlety. The Coen brothers made this movie for an intelligent audience and I'm happy to know that there are still members of the younger generation who are capable of picking up on that.

Everyone is fantastic in this, but it was Kelly McDonald that impressed me the most. She just disappears into that role so completely, it was incredible.

Wonderful performances by the actors. The accents were pitch perfect. And the writer captured the way rural Texans talked to each other in the 1970s.

So glad this film is getting more recognition through reaction channels. I can watch this movie back to back and notice new details. Everyone killed it in their roles and the directing is god tier.

One of my favorite films.. well deserved Oscar for Javier Bardem

Arianna is the best type of person to watch movies with. Her reactions are wonderful.

The foley work on this film was outstanding, she even mentions the echo of the bullets. That reminds me of Heat, which has the most amazingly realistic-sounding gunfight I've ever heard in all of cinema (you know the scene). Granted, I like NCFOM more, but both films are masterpieces worth checking out. Brilliant use of audio.

I'm only a couple minutes in to the reaction but I just have to say that this is one of the most best written, bet acted, best directed thrillers of all time. No music. NO music. You have no cues for how you're supposed to feel. It just is what it is, and what it is is terrifying!

that last line.. i remember seeing this in the theatre and just sitting there in stunned silence when it ended

OH MY GOD!!! I just never get over the dialouge in this movie! Fuckin amazing!! Cormac McCarthy is just one of the most beautiful and poetic writers of novels ever!

Whoever edited this video together did a fantastic job! Excellent Reaction 😊

Javier Bardem"s portrayal of a psychopath is, hands down, the most accurate I've ever seen.

One of the best films of all time. Not a single note of music. Pure intensity.

The actress who plays Carla Jean's mom, Beth Grant, has been in three Best Picture winners (this, Rain Man, and The Artist), as well as Donnie Darko, Little Miss Sunshine, The Office, To Wong Foo, Speed, A Series of Unfortunate Events, Jackie, Flatliners, Jericho, Wonderfalls, Pushing Daisies, The Mindy Project, etc. she's like the ultimate female "oh it's that guy"

Unbelievable movie and such a great and pure reaction from Arianna! Love this channel. Y'all please keep cranking 'em out! Her facial expressions and hand gestures when she's surprised and an unexpected scene pops up are all pure gold for the channel! Full marks... Bravo 👏👏 👏 👏 👏

Great movie. I needed to watch it a second time to fully understand it. Glad you liked it, it's not your typical movie for entertainment. The writing, the performances, the Coen brothers...

As a huge fan of the book, let me explain Anton Chigurh a bit. He's a contract killer, a very successful one, from a town far from there. Probably Kansas City, but definitely a metropolis. It's built into his character to mock the simple and random curtesy of the southern folk. He think it makes them stupid, thus him toying with the gas station owner. In the film it seems more like he's offended by the clerk's questions, but in truth, he is constantly looking for trouble. He thinks that he's a hand of fate, because every time he tests it, fate responds favorably. Before the movie starts, it's explained in the book that he kills a man in a diner for laughing at him. He told the man to come outside and they fought with their hands and he killed him nearly instantly. He left before anyone realized he was dead and then allowed himself to get caught by the police at the beginning of the film. He believed that he would escape if he really was a hand of fate, and had no doubt he would get out because so far, fate has never failed him. Then he escapes and decides that he's too good for these types of buffoons (that messed up the deal) and decides to take it all into his hands and become leader. After his car accident, where fate finally punished him for killing Moss' wife, he goes to the cartel and gives them the money, but tells them he's in charge now. Anton is much younger in the books, as well as Lewellyn. Thus the title. In this film they all seem a bit too old, except for Bell who is perfect. Anton comes off like the kid from the Catcher in the Rye, but a contract killer. A young one, maybe also in Vietnam. Carson and Lewellyn were also in Vietnam, thus their skills. Carson is from the same town as Anton, and is called in when Anton essentially betrays the city for their stupidity. They essentially have the same job, except Anton wasn't having Carson's BS this time and decided he was finally enough of a nuisance to kill. The best lines are butchered in the scene where Carson and Anton talk. Anton straight up explains why he is the way he is, saying that he's simply better than everyone else and that if they can stop him, do it. But no one can. He's just too good. And he falsely thinks this is fate, because he's become lost in his own capabilities that he questions his own reality. This lack of ego is what makes him seem insane, mostly. He's definitely a psychopath, but he rationalizes his murder like a soldier, having deep philosophical designs in his mind that make his actions fair game. He's possibly not a fundamentalist, but an absurdist and doesn't realize it -- recognizing the absurdity of post-modern values and coming up with his own, cynical sense of principles. He's a fantastic character.

When I watched this in theaters I didn’t like not knowing what happened to Carla Jean , but watching ur reaction video I noticed a small detail I didn’t at first . When he left her house he checked his boots (assuming for blood) …. So I’m guessing he did kill her after all

One of the most intense films ever made. Love every aspect of this flick.

I fucking love this reaction! This lady is super smart and gets it. A wonderful video experience, all around.

Great that you showed the entirety of the quarter scene 9:25 Imo, Its high on the list of the best scenes in film history.

Anton is by far my favourite character. Everyone says he's crazy, he's not. His principles you may not understand so you label him with what is comfortable for you. Anton Chigurh like Richard Kuklinski fascinate me.

Your reactions are so genuine. I absolutely love watching you.

Old country for no men(as she might say it during the intro?) is one of my favorites.

Good observation of the cowboys criminal instincts, I never noticed that before.

What I like about Anton Chigurgh is the fact that he stands out among everyone,but he's hardly noticed by them . Kind of like a ghost.

Oh yeah, looking forward to this one. Perfect reactor for this too. She's gonna have a damn fit.

I love the subtle aspects. When Llewelyn is wounded after the confrontation with Chigurh, he has to pay dumb teenagers to get their shirt, and then they fleece him even more for the beer. Later, Chigurh is in a seemingly random accident - probably repercussion for breaking the rules of his coin toss. The teenagers freely give the shirts off their back at no cost, but he pays them anyway (for silence rather than the shirt). It's probably a ko-in-ki-dink, but I always found the role reversal amusing.

The tank of pressurized air Anton carries around pushes a long pin (about the size of a nail) out with extreme force. It's intended purpose is to kill cattle , but that's supposed to play into Anton's character. He just sees people as nothing more than cattle. By far one of my top favorite movie antagonists.

The hostel chase is one of my favorite suspense sequence of all movies I’ve watched.

That coin toss scene was brilliant.

Javier Braden is absolutely terrifying in this movie. Just fucking horrifying.

The dream Tommy Lee Jones tells at the end gives the thesis for the entire film. Many people don't like this movie because they don't get it. If you can work out what that dream means then the whole movie makes sense.

The film is based in the year 1980. I figured it out after he tells the gas station owner the date on the coin is 1958 and it travelled 22 years.

This movie really did the book justice. The author truly is one of the great american writers of our time.

if you liked this youll love true grit (2010) it was also a coen brothers film

Such brilliant editing to have Ed Tom’s opening monologue line of “I don’t wanna push my chips forward and go out and meet something I don’t understand” coincide with the deputy putting the captive bolt gun in the front seat. She exclaimed “What is that!?” just like the Coen brothers intended.

Great Movie, But In Reality, Would've Been State Police, And FBI Quickly Called In To Investigate.

Woody Harrelson's real-life father was a hitman. Some people speculate he was one of the men who killed JFK.

If you haven't seen "The People vs Larry Flynt", it's one of my favorite Woody Harrelson films and I think you'd love it. You'd have to censor a number of scenes, but I'm sure you'd really enjoy the movie.

Having lived on the southern border for a time there is a lot of truth to the atrocities that cartels commit to stay in power. Great reaction on your part. ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐

One of the most intense and anxious movies, I have ever seen. Amazing movie.

I started watching your videos a few days ago. It is very interesting to watch your reaction, it is very emotional and lively. But what surprises me is that you haven't seen many of the classic films that I first saw many years ago until now. Hello from Ukraine )

There will be blood reaction will be fire

One of my favorite aspects of this movie is Chigurh's initial weapon of choice: basically, a cattle gun. It reflects not only his opinion of those he kills, but, reflecting his job as an assassin, is designed to be a very quick, quiet, and effective means of dispatching animals - including, at least for Chigurh, humans. Also, if you're going to steal someone's satchel full of drug money, count it, discard the satchel and any tracking devices you find, and don't ever go back to where you found it or where they would think to look for you.

The gas station is the most tense scene I've ever seen.

28:11 you can actually get the year from a few lines here and there, but I always realised what it was from the shopkeeper coin-toss scene. When Anton says that coin is from/denotes 1958 and took 22 years to get here, meaning it is 1980.

"Shallow Grave" [1994] is a Danny Boyle movie that you would appreciate. Also "Frailty" [2001] and "A Simple Plan" [1998].

"Great shot, it's beautiful". That is what Roger Deakins, the cinematographer, is known for.

Great reaction you could tell how into the movie she was.

Set in 1980.... Based on a 1958 quarter "traveling 22 years to get here".

42:33. Scottish actress hiding her accent talking to a Spanish actor hiding his. He won the Oscar for this role then married Penelope Cruz. He must have won a coin flip.

There is this GREAT little movie that flew under the Hollywood radar called 'Jo Jo Rabbit'. You'd like it.

Oh we hit 50k let’s gooo congrats Ariana!

2:52 Arianna had no idea what was coming :)

The Coen brothers don't know how to make a bad movie. Check out Fargo and Raising Arizona.

One of the best edited reactions I've seen.

I really enjoyed your reaction to this; you didn't talk all over it or smother your audience with your infinite wisdom and knowledge, which is what many reactors do. Your stock points keep going up.

There are so many parallels with No Country For Old Men and The Dark Knight for me. The juxtaposition of order and chaos. I always got the sense that the Joker was pretty much an Anton Chigurh kind of character until Batman came along and suddenly he had a reason to live. It’s worth watch both films back to back.

I couldn't stop laughing at her reaction at 2:52 because both her and the character are innocently wondering wtf that hose thing is, and when it just brutally and quietly dispatches the man.

When she describes Javier Bardem's character as "goal-driven" LOL love to talk movies in "self-help" jargon

The year on this quarter is 1958. It's been traveling 22 years to get here. And now it's here. (1980 is the year this movie takes place)

Tommy Lee Jones who plays the sheriff gave the opening monologue. Peace and love!😘

Terrific commentary, as usual. It's such a pleasure experiencing this movie again through your eyes and feelings. Thank you.

Good writing, good directing and no easy answers. Perfect.

I was always uncertain of the year it takes place, myself. until I finally caught something I'd missed previously. If you remember, at the first coin toss, he says that was a 1957 quarter, it's been rolling around for 23 years, so 1980.

@21:57 Me whenever something happens at work.

If there's one thing for certain, old southern men know cars when they see them. My Dad could recognize cars like crazy. But he was a mechanic all his life so he would know. He'd say, "that's a 66 mustang. The taillights in the ass end are different from the 67 and 68 models"

All Cohen brothers movies must be watched! Their first movie is still my favorite! Blood Simple! They shot a fake trailer for a movie script and actors that didn't exist! They took it to a film festival and luckily got financial backing to make it!!The sux part of this is Lewellyn got killed by a 3rd party Mexican gang, and not even any of the first two groups involved or Anton.The reason Lewellyn didn't leave and went after Anton is because he knew, Anton already knew all about him and his family. Plus Llewellyn is the type , u come after him once and he's gonna keep coming after u

Old Country for No Men is good, too......different genre tho....

One of my favorite movies

I like to think Anton retired after the car crash, or atleast it was his rebirth as a "normal" human being and no longer a force of nature, he seems genuinely shook up after the crash, and that could be chalked up to just adrenaline and nerves, but I like to think he came too close for comfort to death and he had a bit of a "step back from the abyss" type revelation in his head.

@3:20 "But like, why?" And that right there is the exact point of Tommy Lee's speech at the start. Sometimes there's no logical or rational explanation as to why some people do things. Particularly that of psychotic murderers. Tommy Lee's character no longer understands a world with people like Anton in it.

His choice to go and give the cartel driver some water cost him everything.....

How would the owner of a newer(timelined) Bronco be dead for over 20 years?! Just caught that.

You are adorable Aeri!! Love your videos!

i had to watch this movie 3 times to notice that there wasnt any music at all. it didnt need and it played a bigger part not being there, building on the suspense

That is called a bolt gun. They slaughter pigs with it

I recall when I first saw this film I thought it was a collection of scenes and set-pieces that didn't have an overall point. That's what I thought, the film is pointless.

When I saw this film on DVD, I never knew what it was about, then I realized it's about a sadistic hitman, hired by the cartel, to retrieve stolen drug money from a deal gone wrong, and is hellbent on retrieving it, taking down anyone that gets in his way.

Thank you so much for this. This is my favorite movie but it is one you can only watch 2, maybe 3 times max, because the suspense is gone and you have picked up the little things. However, experiencing it through new eyes makes it intense again.

Happy that you watched this. It's an amazing story

I love this movie. And i love seeing the reactions to this movie! I want to see more peoples reactions to my ultimate favorite movie!

The 3 main characters never meet face to face

The mad Killer... Javier Bardem very good actor... spanish

Moss is a war vet, Anton is ex special ops

This film is so damn good. My second favorite after Casablanca.

Regarding ditching the case, remember this is 1980. Tracking devices were still James Bond sh*t to most people.

this is my second favourite Coen bros movie right after Fargo

Did you see the fixer check his boots for blood after he came out of the house to make sure there was nothing on them after he asked her to call it in the end. Yup she dead just like Woody in the hotel where he took his feet off the floor so blood would not get on them.

He did not run in those circles of criminals Mr.Moss has a military background and survival tactics.

Me trynna listen to the lines with the low audio: Girl reacting with the mic level at 100: *MMMMMM*

I loved your reaction and this great movie:) wanna see more of good movies😊

14:47 Its a bolt gun used by farmers to kill livestock

Every dog has their day
