I realy liked the scene where the kid did not wanted to take Antons money and Anton just started to repeat himself cause his worldview could get chalanged by such a simple act of kindness. Even if those kids got corrupted at the end, I realy liked that.

If the kids had flat out refused no matter what,he would’ve killed them. It was part of the rules to him,if they took the money,they wouldn’t tell the cops where he went. If they refused,they clearly have a mindset that makes it easier to conclude they would tell the cops his position. It was a brief,almost once in Anton’s lifetime occurrence that he showed he didn’t want to kill two children. He would’ve if he had to,but he risked losing valuable escape time to try to make them understand that it was in their best interest to take the money and prove to him that they could be spared. Anonymity is his priority,he kills anyone who acknowledges his existence and fails his games of chance. In a way,his insistence that they take the cash was a game of chance for their lives too. But one game he didn’t want them to lose.

The absence of God! Is how some literature professors described, "No country!"

What i really like about the movie is how anton chigurh, a person who considers themselves an agent of fate and decides the life of people of innocents with a coin toss (thus putting it up to fate to decide whether they live or not), ends up being taken out by a random event. However, it isnt as random as it seems. "If the rule you followed brought you here, of what use was the rule?" is his defining aspect, and at the end of the movie, when he visits, carla, she is the only person who refuses to call the coin for him, something completely unprecedented. By rejecting fate in this manner, and by extension breaking the rule he follows, she removes anton's invincibility, either by making him so distraught he did not notice the car on a collision course towards him, or by forcing fate's hand to take action against the man whose rule was rendered useless.

Anton was a character that could only exist in the 80’s (and maybe early 90’s) before cameras were literally everywhere. That’s why a lot of the infamous serial killers from the 60’s & 70’s like Ted Bundy & John Wayne Gacy were so prolific & violent, these days it’s much harder to get away without being caught.

The Coen Bros always cast people for the small bit parts in their movies that look like actual real people. It's a detail that adds a sense of "reality" or depth to their films that I just don't see from other film makers.

Having Carla Jean refuse the coin toss in the movie was such a brilliant decision it blows my mind. It completely changes your perception of the ending of this story and of Carla Jean and Chigur as characters.

Of course, this film wasn’t a comedy! But I remember my husband (God rest his beautiful soul🕊💕🙏) just cracking up laughing at how INSANE Javier Bardem’s conversation with the gas station attendant really was!!! I was an ER/Trauma RN almost 40 years (now retired) and my husband was a police officer, so we pretty much “saw it all” together in the fields and in the ER......but Bardem played this part so masterfully, we could actually recognize some of our more “psychologically broken”patients in his character! We purchased the movie on DVD and watched it together over goodies and snacks on rainy evenings. I haven’t watched it since my husband Went Home, but in my opinion, it’s one of the best films made. Great casting and performances. God bless all here, in Jesus’s Precious Name, Amen!🕊💕🙏🌹

How does a movie project fear? Fear is feeling inside your mind as a reaction to a current or coming situation. A movie can only show, present what the people are doing. It doesn't force anything into you (project). If someone doesn't understand fear, they won't know it by watching the movie either. It's one of the best representations of intelligence, and what a psycho is..and is very good as a psychological movie as was Silence of the Lambs. I wasn't 'scared' as I watched the Gas Station scene, I knew what was happening and what the outcome could have been and since I followed the movie's plot very well, yeah, it wasn't scary - but illuminating contrast between the characters. The movie touches on many aspects of life, thinking, and non-thinking.

He absolutely killed Carla Jean, that’s why he told her “I wouldn’t worry about it” when talking about funeral expenses for her mom, then he checked his boots.

For me one of the more salient moments in the film was when confronting the befuddled storekeeper after his inquiry about the weather in Dallas, was the close-up of the peanut package expanding with the crinkling noise accompanying it, dramatizing the moments ferocity, just one of many such occurrences adding flavor to the blend.

So much greatness in this film, it is impossible to even measure. Love the space, the light, the sparse dialogue, strong characters….everything. This film literally has a whole entire life of it’s own. I will never stop loving it, and never stop watching it.⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️

Wow ! Amazing insightful and engrossing piece of work! Everything about it was really good

Masterpiece of a film - every time I watch I learn something new. I love films like that 👍

Outstanding movie and video of fun facts. One thing that stands out to me is that Llewellyn Moss could have gotten away with the money undetected had he not returned to the scene of the crime to give water to a man already dead. All he had to do was either hide the money or leave town without hesitation. But that guilt of leaving a man to die thirsty was the downfall for him and his wife.

ya did you really watch the movie though? Because they tracked the money using technology, and when he went back for the money he escaped into the river anyways. So they lost him at that point and without the transponder once again would of been fine. However ya transponder..

I very much enjoyed this. Really fascinating trivia about an absolutely spectacular, thought provoking movie.

I once watched this movie on acid after I had already seen it a few times, and Javier’s acting was so intense he started taking on a scaly greenish shapeshifting appearance with the most evil sinister smile I’ve ever seen during the coin toss seen. None of the other characters in the film even remotely changed appearance at all except for Anton in that scene, it caused goose bumps and sent chills down my spine, this movie is absolutely phenomenal with or without drugs lol

Fascinating! I'd spent the first 25 years of my life working in motion picture production, the last 13 years teaching TV Production to high school kids. I can't believe how little film was exposed to make this movie. I've worked on three-minute music videos and 60-second commercials that exposed more than 250,000 feet! This factoid-filled film made me laugh, opened my eyes, taught me a couple of lessons. I really liked The Why's appreciation of my getting certified in Final Cut Pro.

I enjoyed the book but I can't imagine there is that much to analyze in it. There were no vagaries in it and little or no symbolism etc. It was simple and spare with not a whole lot of depth. That is a lot like most of his writing. He did the same with The Road which was an extremely intense movie, but the book had little description and very little dialogue. It was terse and to the point.

Hey dude. This is one of the only KZread "did you know" videos where I actually learned some things that I didn't already know. Very nice work!

IMO it's a Masterpeice! Javier Ángel Encinas Bardem rightfully won his Oscar. The Big Lewbowski is another favorite, The Fargo series is another favorite. Pretty much everything the Coen brothers do I watch. Just can't get enough of those two! If you've ever ridden a motorcycle down a deserted highway at 200 MPH then you understand films like these. Life is short you have to live it to the fullest!

"1958. It's been traveling 22 years to get here. And now it's here."

Loved the book and loved the movie. This is one of my all time favorite films!

Really a fantastic movie - dark, creepy, realistic, even funny at times. It's one of those movies that if I ever notice that it's being aired on tv, I'll watch it to the end. This video was really fascinating for me, especially the bits about Roderick Jaynes and the Mike Zoss pharmacy,

Well done and organized narrative that keeps one's interest. Keep up the good work - because, we inquiring minds, want to know!

This is a good list man great video I knew maybe 8 or 9 of the facts so good job.

I remember watching this my sophomore year of high school. I thought it was going to be one of those boring movies the teacher shows you but I ended up falling in love with this movie

One of my all time favorite masterpieces 👍 Genius!

Coen brothers are incredible. The scenes, the characters are so good. Its a movie that draws you in and makes you listen.

a literal masterpiece of cinema.

The character Anton Chigurh is every persons' nightmare of every inhuman and evil hitman rolled into one. This character is so terrifying and so well-played by Bardem I had nightmares for months after seeing the movie.

What a film . Easily in my top 5 of all time . Just totally outstanding . Not much has come along since that I get this excited/nervous/uncomfortable about watching . It STILL has that affect on me . Superb .📽️🎞️🎬

Okay, I have to chime in on this one. I got to meet Tommy Lee Jones at an air-show once and only a few of us recognized him. I want say he was all that friendly and gracious, but then again, I didn't expect him to be. With that said, he is one of our finest actors and that's really all that matters. He simply here to entertain me and that's about it. This film was probably one of the best movies ever made and as far as that goes, so was There Will be Blood. I have seen both movies several times and it's hard to determine which is better, because they are so different in nature. The acting in both movies is superb. The first time I saw NCFOM, I was sort of "on edge and nervous," during most of the film, which is rare for me..........so it did it's job.

When I found the Easter egg in GTA V, it brought the biggest smile to my face. One of my favorite movies of all times, a masterpiece imo.
