SUCH A TWISTED CHARACTER!| NO COUNTRY FOR OLD MEN (2007) | FIRST TIME WATCHING | MOVIE REACTION 

Javier Bardem earned every minute of that Oscar on screen. Such an incredibly disturbing performance.

Amber says she loves the accent voiced by actress Kelly McDonald. Believe it or not, she's from Glasgow, Scotland. Now that's a good actress.

As you come to see, Lewellyn is not the main character but the sheriff is

Winner of 4 Oscars including Best Picture.

The word for this film is existential. There's no music score, nothing in the story is predictable although it's told in an ultrarealistic way, where it doesn't tell what you might want to happen, but does happen. Yeah, Tommy Lee Jones as the sheriff is perfect and I love how Amber says "I love her Southern accent" even though in real life the actress is from Scotland with a rich Scottish accent and she nails a Texas accent like she's nailing a fence and it embodies her character to perfection.

One of the best villains I've ever seen in any movie.

The main character is ED (Tommy Lee Jones) he is the old man the movie title is referring to. How times have changed and he can't keep up with it. The Mexican mob killed Llewellyn. They were the ones running odd on the truck.

The Sheriff is played by Tommy Lee Jones. It's a great role for him. He is the old man that is not ready for what's coming. It's the symbolism of the title. He's not ready for the cruelty of the next generation's criminals. He thought the good guys would win in the end. Then he realized he was not able to withstand the onslaught. Another GREAT film with Tommy Lee Jones is The Fugitive. He is at his peak in that role. It also features Harrison Ford. Definitely give it a watch.

According to psychologists and psychiatrists, Chigurh is the most accurate portrayal of a psychopath in any movie.

The villain ( Javier Bardem ) is a great actor. He also plays a villain in Skyfall ( 007 - James Bond ) a 2012 movie.

Woody Harrelson's character does say Shigur has some strange, twisted code of behavior, which he's kind of fulfilling when he tracks down Llewelyn's wife. Just, his code is so far away from having any sense of humanity. Did you notice there's actually NO music in the film. Yet so much suspense and tension. Brilliant work by the Cohen Bros

I love the fact that this movie didn't have the happy ever after ending. This movie really makes you think.

That air gun the guy had is called a captive bolt pistol, and it's used to kill cattle. Such a crazy movie! My takeaway from this movie: Never a good idea to take money that isn't yours. X)

Anton Chigurh is one of the most frightening characters I've ever seen. I'm not bothered so much by aliens or ghosts or supernatural creatures. What scares me is what one human can do to another, and feel nothing over it.

This movie was based on a novel by Cormac McCarthy. It faithfully followed the plot of the book. The writer had a very unique way of writing, like none I've ever read before

"What's the most you've ever lost on.a coin toss?" That whole scene, but that line specifically, always gives me chills. And beautifully illustrates the kind of person Chiguhr is.

"I like this guy, I don't know what his name is, but I like him." Whaaaaat!!?? You dont know Tommy Lee Jones??! That's wild. 🤯😅he's one of the best actors out there. Watch more of his movies guys!

Oh man I've been waiting for so long for you 2 to react to this thriller... Javier Bardem won an Oscar for Best Supporting Actor he played that psychopath to perfection

21:54 - The reason the building has a "missing floor" is because most American buildings do not have a 13th floor due to superstitions. So instead they skip from 12 to 14. It's an odd joke that most people don't get while watching this scene.

"I'm not gonna leave a million dollars setting under a tree" lol me either.

This movie by the Coen brothers is a masterpiece from start to finish. Everything is just perfect here. The actors are outstanding (especially Javier Bardem as the psychopathic contract killer Anton Chigurh, who was quite rightly awarded an Oscar), the editing, the breathtaking, ever-increasing dramaturgy, the excellent dialogues, the script... Already one of the best thrillers of all time. The 4 Oscars are well deserved.

Tommy Lee Jones was the sheriff. Watch him and Harrison Ford in The Fugitive 1993. Excellent movie

The most amazing thing about this movie is how Kelly McDonald, from Scotland!!!, nailed the West Texas accent. Heck, she sounds like she could be from Moore OK.

Crooked $$$ always ends up being a deadly situation for anybody who takes it and isn't supposed to have it.

34:54 - He is a phenomenal actor, Amber. His name is Javier Bardem. He won the Oscar for best supporting actor for this role; also the Golden Globe award for best supporting actor, and a S.A.G. award, and a B.A.F.T.A. award. And won many other acting awards for other varying roles in his career so far as well.

You have to remember that this movie is set in 1980. People weren't used to having to deal with things like tracking devices back then. Especially in west Texas, it was still a very analog world.

Woohoo, great hair amber!

The opening monologue is one of my all time favs. The visuals, mixed with Tommy Lee Jones’s voiceover, really set the stage for this Coen brothers classic.

I like all of the characters and accents, speech patterns and phrases they use...brilliant character building.

Always hoped you guys would cover “Legends of the Fall” and “Dead Poet’s Society”. Both great movies with actors you like & would also make great reactions. Anyone else agree? Oh… A Beautiful Mind, too! 👍

Wow! Amber's hair is gorgeous! 👍

OH MY GOSH!!!! No you’re not!!!! Yall are gonna freak out!! This is so disturbing! 😮 ok. Here we go.

Watch “Amadeus” Both main actors were nominated for Best Actor and one of them won.

I´ve seen this movie multiple times and the wonderful thing is, it gets better and better. And Javier Bardem portrayed one of the scariest villains in movie history.

Noticed how when Lewellens injury for the jacket, the college student wasn't concerned about helping him unless he got money first, and the two young boys were concerned for Anton out of goodness not expecting any reward? That to me was a symbolism of innocence that the two young boys had not been corrupted by the world and its greed. Antons escape is true to that sometimes bad/evil people get away with things in this world but eventually their demise will come one day too. That's the significance of the car crash at the end... Anton thinks he's something more, but in the end, he's human and can not escape his fate of death one day. Carla Jean was the only one who made Anton make a choice without the coins decision, so he broke his own morals and rules of people's fate. The coin doesn't have no say, it's just you.

Similar “Hell or High Water” and “Switchback”. Both are just as intriguing. Thank you for reviewing no country.

I've heard it explained that the Anton character is a metaphor for violence itself. No matter what you do, it just keeps coming. I think whoever came up with that theory had something there.

AMBER...I LOVE your hair. You look absolutely beautiful!!!! OH...and just so you know...if Jay every comes home one day hollering "Amber...pack some bags...grab the kids....WE MOVING!!"....go look for a black bag.......JAY DONE FOUND SOME MONEY!!!!!!!!!!!!1🤣🤣🤣🤣

The air compressor activates a cattle gun, used to stun cattle before slaughtering them. I've seen one used in a slaughterhouse.

The Cohen Brothers are a National treasure to Film making.

The gas station scene.....the motel after Llewellyn finds the tracker....some of the most intense scenes in film history

Chigurh didn't kill the trailer park manager because she had a code, and refused to bend on it. Chigurh respected her.

The biggest contributors to that feeling of suspense is 1) the quiet way the dialog is delivered and 2) the complete absence of a musical score (until the closing credits). The audience just sits there in silence while the action slowly and deliberately plays out. Music would have made the movie less suspenseful.

The fact that the killer got away is essential in showing that this is no country for old men - the sheriff.

A great, classic Woody Harrelson flick to watch is "Natural Born Killers" (1994), also stars Juliette Lewis, Robert Downey Jr. Tom Sizemore, Edie McClurg, Rodney Dangerfield, & Tommy Lee Jones. Written by Quentin Tarantino, and directed by Oliver Stone.

Thanks for another good video , loved watching it with you guys

Javier bardem plays one of the most scareist psychopaths ever! He definitely deserved an Oscar! Thanks Rob squad great reaction!❤️💛

The Coen Brothers who directed also made "The Big Lebowski", "Fargo", "O Brother, Where Art Thou", and many others. Been a fan since the earliest "Blood Simple" and "Raising Arizona" from the 80's. The "Fargo" TV series are all excellent too.

13:39 Kelly MacDonald is from Scotland. It's impressive how she pulled off the West Texas accent. If you heard her real accent it would blow your mind.

Awesome movie! Surprised y'all didn't comment on the lack of a soundtrack! I, too, was shocked when I heard Kelly Macdonald speak and het sounding NOTHING like Carla Jean! Tommy Lee Jones was awesome as the sherrif, as well as Josh Brolin's 'Llewelyn Moss'!

In the book when the sheriff goes into the motel room Chagur had just left & was watching from the parking lot.

Donnie Darko is a good film you should check out.

44:42 Tommy Lee Jones! A legend. You should watch THE FUGITIVE. Harrison Ford, Tommy Lee Jones. Also U S MARSHALS Tommy Lee Jones & Wesley Snipes 😊

Coen Brothers Art. The kids at the end, cards in their spokes, offering the shirt off his back, then the "Blood Money" corrupts them.

3:07 yup. He’s CRA-ZEEEE!

This movie was set in 1980. They knew what storm was coming then, maybe a little before. Man this movie still means so much today. Maybe even moreso than when i first saw it when it came out.

Great take, Amber! I had to see it multiple times to get that perspective. It's all about the idea that real life does not always have storybook endings and sometimes bad things happen to good people. When we're young we think things are so simple and clear. When we get older we realize that life is complicated and hard, and the hero/villain edit we had in our minds growing up missed some things. Glad you guys saw this film! Mitch

There was a study done on this film & it was said by his behavior, Chigurh is one of the most pyschopathic characters ever played by an actor. Great job by Javier Bardem. He totally owned this role.

On the subject of Carla Jean and her adorable southern accent. She's actually Scottish. Watch Trainspotting to hear something close to what she sounds like when she's not appearing in a movie about people from Texas.

The thing he uses is called a Captive Bolt... It's used to knock out cattle before they are slaughtered. It shoots a bolt out at high pressure and then it comes back in, so Anton is using a custom version!

What a "good" Psychopath Javier was in this movie.

2007 was the best year for Westerns and Neo-Westerns. “No Country For Old Men”… “There Will Be Blood”… and “The Assassination of Jesse James By The Coward Robert Ford” with Casey Affleck and Brad Pitt…

This is why you don't tell your children that Monsters don't exist. They unequivocally do, they just aren't Vampires or Werewolves but people who look just like us

I'll never forget that gas station exchange. Talk about anxiety inducing. I'm not a cinema buff, but I know perfection when I see it.

Anton Chigurh has to be one of my all time favorite movie villains. Javier Bardem did an amazing job of playing him.

Anton...a cinematic angel of death in this movie. Far off topic: Amber that silk press and makeup looks good on you.🤗👍

It’s compressed air. So no bullet to be traced.

Such an evil character! Try “True Grit”! It’s a different kind of Western. 🤘🔥

This movie takes place in the early 80's. Nobody knew you could be tracked like that back then. Nobody ever heard of it.

Glad you both are reacting to this one. An awesome movie. Javier Bardem is outstanding every time he is on the screen. I've been a fan of his way before this role. He is always on point.

Amber "he's a little creepy"😂😂😂😂 God I love her!

There is no "getting" the personification of death and violence. A force of nature. Yes. He got away.

Javier Bardem is one of our generations best actors and he proved it in this film.

Winner of 4 Oscars: Best Picture, Best Director (Joel and Ethan Coen), Best Supporting Actor (Javier Bardem as Anton), and Best Adapted Screenplay (Joel and Ethan Coen, based off of the novel by Cormac McCarthy).

What’s really funny is that semiautomatic shotgun he has is a Remington 11-87 they didn’t start making them in till 1987 and this is 1980. There is only one silencer for a shot gun that I know of and they don’t make a 12 gauge that quite

You don't know who that sheriff is?? That's Tommy Lee jones, he's been acting for a long time. He's been in movies like The fugitive, double jeopardy, etc

There is a fascinating interpretation of the novel and film that speculates that Anton Chigurh doesn't actually exist, but that he is a figment created by Ed Tom Bell in order to rationalize the senseless brutality of the world he finds himself in. It's a lot more comforting to believe there is one psychopathic killer causing all this mayhem than it is to think that the world itself has just become a place of mindless violence and cruelty. I don't necessarily subscribe to the theory but it is one that I think works as a valid interpretation of events.

Sheriff Bell is the main character. The story is told through his eyes and he's the only one that never meets Chigurgh.

As soon as a saw the notification for this reaction I immediately thought of the well-known Robert Redford GIF with him nodding his head in approval. lol

Anton Chigurh best movie bad guy - a close second is Mickey Knox (Woody Harrelson) in *"Natural Born Killers (1994)"* Also, late great *Ray Liotta* comes close in *"Something Wild 1986"* as a psychopathic boyfriend. Other movie directors feared working with Ray after watching that film he was convincing as a psychopath. *Natural Born Killers (1994), The Deer Hunter (1978) and The Texas Chain Saw Massacre (1974)* Three Movies That Still Haunt Me.

The old folks have a saying, "thief from thief makes God laugh." First thing I thought about when I first saw this. I didn't notice until someone pointed it out... there's no background music. This and Drive were unexpectedly awesome flicks to watch in cinema!

Love your hair, Amber!!

Chigurh was the force of nature. How death can just randomly find you.

This movie has a lot of echoes of other Coen Brothers movies. The satchel is the same as they used in Fargo. The mobile home, Sheriff bending over to look at the mark on the wall, the hitchhiking scenes, Shigur shooting the bird, all are echoes of Raising Arizona. Also from Raising Arizona is the movie ending with two narrated dreams Lots of shots and angles the same as Blood Simple. A different movie tribute, the Woody Harrelson scene with Shigur on the staircase is a mirror image of a scene from Kingpin, also with Woody. Amber’s hair looks real nice. Peace, from NM ✌️

Proud of you. Now you're getting into some real cinema.

😮Oh no Amber. Your tender heart was not ready for Anton Chigurh. Next to The Joker(Heath Ledger version) Anton is one of the most disturbing villians.

"Yeaaah I'm clockin out going home for the day" lmao 😄

Great reaction to one of the craftiest movies of modern times. Godspeed to you guys.

He’s using a captive bolt pistol, it’s used to stun animals before slaughter. The guy leaving a $1 million can’t be using it legally so take it. Woody Harrelson’s dad was a hit man for one of the 5families in NYC

Tommy Lee Jones is a great actor. He's from San Saba, Tx, about 20 miles from where I live. He has a huge ranch there, but is a very private person. I've been seeing his movies since he was in, Under Seige, with Steven Segal. Another great movie

You guys watched "The Goonies" a couple of years ago and the "Lewellyn" character in this movie was the older brother "Brand" who had to ride the little pink bike down the hill.

In case you’re interested the title comes from the first line of a poem by the Irishman WB Yeats, called ‘’Sailing to Byzantium.” “That is no country for old men.” Cormac McCarthy, the author of the novel this movie is based on, is Irish American and would know the work of Yeats. anyway. Next movie for y’all with Bardem - Dune Part 1. Please!

I can see why you guys thought that Llewelyn was the main character of the movie. However, the actual main character of this movie was the police chief, Ed Tom Bell (played by Tommy Lee Jones). You're not alone, not too many people got that. But don't you remember how the movie started off with Ed telling one of his cop stories that happened along his career as a police officer? And he also told other stories along the way of the movie. This whole scenario that played out in this movie (with Llewelyn Moss) was just for us (the viewing audience) to see yet another sad, horrible situation for Ed to add to his cache of cop stories. And being one of the worst right before he was gonna retire from the job. The movie began with one of his stories, and ended with Ellis telling him one, to remind him he's not the only one with bad stories, yet even after that, Ed still had a somber story to tell his wife. The often harsh life of a police officer. If you watch this movie again, carefully, you will see how the movie was really about Ed, even though much of the screenplay followed the actions of Llewelyn and Chigurh. Oh, P.S.: The reason why they didn't show Llewelyn getting killed on screen, but showed Ed driving up to the aftermath of him getting murdered by the Mexicans was another way of subtly letting you know that the film was about Ed. Just so you know.

Anton Shugar is one of cinema's greatest villains. For us to get him and then Heath Ledger as the Joker the next year was more than we deserved, lol

Several Psychiatrists/Psychologists have said Javier Bardem's character is the most accurate representation of a psychopath they have ever seen in a movie.

No wonder he won best actor, did you know his wife is Penelope Cruz? Tommy Lee Jones is great in this film, I met him for 3 seconds when they shot a scene in my workplace in Vancouver, B.C. for the film "Double jeopardy" with Ashley Judd. It's worth checking out.

During the construction of many older buildings the 13th floor was never listed in the elevators. The floors would be listed as 12 and then 14. A time in history when construction and superstition walked hand-in-hand. ✌🏻

You guys need to watch Maverick. It's one of the best westerns you will ever see. It is so cleverly written and although I wouldn't necessarily call it a comedy, you will laugh alot. It has Mel Gibson, Jodi Foster, who won a Oscar for the movie and James Garner. It's an incredible movie. Surprised more people have not requested it.

Amber, my mom his a hairstylist, so it is in my blood to give this compliment when the compliments are due. Love the hair. You look fantastic.
