Similar to what Anton himself said, "if the rule that you followed, lead you to this, of what use was the rule?" If he know bargaining with Anton wasn't going to get him anywhere, and he bargained anyway, of what use was bargaining in the first place? This highlights how human Carson is, and how inhuman Anton is. Which Carson points out, seemingly sort of insulting Anton.

This scene in the book plays out differently, just slightly in that the phone doesn't ring until after Carson is dead. But my fucking god is it harrowing, I've got it burned into my memory still. "He did close his eyes. He closed his eyes and turned his head and he raised one hand to fend away what could not be fended away. Chigurh shot him in the face. Everything that Wells had ever known or thought or loved drained slowly down the wall behind him. His mother's face, his First Communion, women he had known. The faces of men as they died on their knees before him. The body of a child dead in a roadside ravine in another country. He lay half headless on the bed with his arms outflung, most of his right hand missing. Chigurh rose and picked up the empty casing off the rug and blew into it and put it in his pocket and looked at his watch. The new day was still a minute away." terrifying

Lewellyn was the only one who scared Anton. You could see it on Anton's face when Lewellyn told him he was now his personal project. Lewellyn had already shot Anton and Anton had at least a moment of doubt about whether he could deal with Lewellyn. Lewellyn was handling Anton and had shot him and escaped from him, all of which surprised Carson. Anton was accustomed to people being intimidated by him but Lewellyn wasn't intimidated.

This scene plays on the idea that "crazy people don't know they are crazy". Anton was so confused as to why Carson thought he was crazy. He didn't understand if he meant that Anton was crazy or the nature of the conversation was crazy. The Coen's really made a masterpiece.

This scene was touching. It made Carson's comment to Llewelyn quite ironic: "You've seen him, and you're still alive?"

Absolutely phenomenal acting by Woody Harrelson here. He makes us all feel what Carson Wells is feeling. It's like we're all Carson Wells in this scene.

He didn't choose to hold his ground. The moment he offered him money showed his fears and Anton capitalized on it.

We all die. His rules just made him feel good about himself before he got there.

Carson already knew Anton....

When Anton comes up behind Carson on the stairs still gives me chills!

I finally got to give this movie a watch and it becomes one of the best movies iI've ever seen.

This was one of the best scenes of the movie for me personally. I was so on edge the whole time, that, I not only flinched on the original phone ring, but on every subsequent ring that followed it. That’s never happened to me in any other movie I’ve seen.

"He did close his eyes. He closed his eyes and turned his head and he raised one hand to fend away what could not be fended away. Chigurh shot him in the face. Everything Wells had ever known or thought or loved slowly drained down the wall behind him. His mother's face, his first communion, women he had known, the faces of men who had died on their knees before him, the body of a child in a roadside ravine in another country. He lay half headless on the bed with his arms out flung, most of his right hand missing."

That's brutal... damn

Really have to hand it to Woody here, his acting in this scene is brilliant, even though he is obviously overshadowed by the most terrifying villain put to the cinematic screen in recent memory. Love how VincenzoV in that pinned comment described it, as the best "I'm about to die acting," ever. I'm just imagining how an actor would even go about deciding how he was going to play a scene like this. I mean god damn dude... every single line Woody's character has in this scene is delivered with a mix of absolute terror at the realization that he doesn't have a chance of leaving alive, but still some respectable courage while literally looking death in the face. Woody's transition from the beginning of the scene where you can clearly see him hoping against all odds that his one little piece of leverage (the money in the ATM) may save him, to his acceptance of the fact he is a dead man already on borrowed time while still maintaining some dignity with the "Go to hell" line was just beautiful to watch. It's a masterful example of how effective under acting can be. A lot of really talented and well established actors would have played this scene one of two ways, and both would have been a mistake for a scene like this

Exactly. It is very fine and subtle acting. 100% believable

Simply amazing work by all involved

Forgot how that ring scared the crap out of me 😂

The tension was so masterfully done in this scene that the phone should have won a hot damn oscar for best movie prop.

"You go to hell" "Hmmm... alright."

the shotgun deserves an award

"If the rule you followed brought you to this, of what use was the rule" -- I think about that line

one of the many great things about this genius movie is showing one killer with another. and one killer is scared out of his mind. wow. chillingly perfect.

“It will be brought to me and placed under my feet”. What a line!!

Brilliant scene that characterizes the entirety of Anton's personalty. It shows that Anton is not interested in what he wants as much as the way he gets it - the exercise of control through fear.

Anton's face during this whole interaction was of pure joy, he wanted to enjoy every second of it, if you put yourself on Carson's shoes, that would be the scariest moment of your life, having a professional killer infront of you, who is enjoying your fear and will enjoy killing you and you also know there's no way out, this is your end, and will come at the moment that Anton deciedes it will come, that's terrifyng.

Anton has too alien mindset to actually be sadistic. Carson is professional killer and henchman, but Anton is something much worse than he can actually imagine. Perhaps Anton feels some kind of joy from once again proving to himself that destiny is immutable. There is simply nothing even halfway sane human can touch in Anton's mind. To Carson killing appears to be unpleasant side-effect of his job while Anton kills as easily as he breathes.

@@vksasdgaming9472 I don't think thats it at all. As somebody else wrote, even the actor, his point was that he is never in control of himself, its always 'fate'. Thats why he flips the coin. But in THIS case, he doesn't flip the coin. Its when the phone rings that he shoots him. He's also wrong, for all HIS bravado the money was not placed at his feet, a bunch of mexicans kill whatsisname. So why is he smiling? I'd argue he's smiling because he is looking at a mirror image of himself, another killer. And so what he sees in the mirror is that 'fate' really is the same no matter who is involved, even if it were HIM, he'd be saying the same "you dont' have to do this". His smile of course is wrong, because 'fate' shows him at the end that it can kill him coming out of a driveway, and it can help him with just the generosity of innocent little boys. Its pretty much set up for a sequel that didn't come. But I don't think he's smiling because he 'enjoys his fear', as I say, he's smiling because he knows that he is doing 'right', he is doing gods work but wiping out people who deserve it. Thats WHY he can continue that right up to meeting that guys wife, I think in the book it says he shoots her, but in the movie they dont' show it, they don't show it because she refuses to call it, so they are giving a totally different interpretation to the entire storyline simply by not showing one scene. As a viewer you really don't know what he did, so we don't know 'for sure' what that smile means, which of course is what all good movies do, leave things open to interpretation (thats mine, I welcome yorus:)

@@mikearchibald744 I merely meant that what drives Anton is something nobody can empathize. His mind is utterly alien. He can pass as human, his set of morals is absolutely incomprehensible. At best you might guess that Anton simply wants to see support on his thesis of everything being destined and coin is just his way of asking is someone about to die. I think it is about two forces of cosmos being at conflict: Destiny and Chance. Anton firmly believes in Destiny.

@@vksasdgaming9472 Interesting, although keep in mind as for empathy, regular germans became prison guards and walzed millions to thier deaths. So I don't think being homicidal is as alien as all that. I'm not sure what you mean by 'believing' in destiny because the coin flip seems the very essence of chance. Of course in books characters often represent soemthing. I'm not sure about Anton. If I remember correctly the REAL antagonist is 'the corporation'. Stephen Roots character gets shot, but its not Anton who kills the protagonist, thats random mexican gangsters. ALL of this is orchestraed by 'the corporation', including Anton. What that maens I don't know.

I was obsessed with this movie from the first day I saw it.

Woody does such a good job of playing someone petrified that's trying to hide it in this scene.

Mr Wells is doing his best deadpan expression---acting calm, then the phone rings---and he is so startled that he cannot pretend that he's not scared out of his mind. Anton smiles that smile...

the way he smiles while asking him the rule question is amazing lol

Carsons chair back forms a visual metaphor of his coming angel wings.

This scene is mandatory for film actors and movie directors. Carson has fear and tries to keep calm realizing that his hope disappears, Chigurt enjoys his victim's fear, and the camera shows actors faces and off course that bloody shoot gun!

"I mean the nature of you.." "👁️👄👁️"

‘If the rule you followed brought you this, of what use was the rule?’ Think of the complexity of those two sentences. Chigur mercilessly (almost giddy with joy) encapsulates Carson’s entire life within one line…has got to be the most brutal but honest-and intriguing conversation from this whole movie.

Two actors who completely mastered their roles. No one could have played these parts better.

Javier Bardem is the best....period.

Carsons face says it all. Only a matter of time . The phone rings . Time to pay the piper

He chooses to give Anton one last dig at his psyche instead of pleading til the end. There’s a lot of dignity in doing that. Telling Anton his whole existence is based upon madness and that killing him will just further prove it. Badass scene.

- Do you have any idea how crazy you are? - You mean the nature of this conversation? - I mean the nature of you!

This movie is great. Literally great. Not overuse of the word great but a perfect example of great.

"An ATM..." As he smiles, Anton is remembering all the many people who offered him something in exchange for their life. He is amused by the slightly unusual variation of this offer - not money, but a means to get it - and equally amused that everyone always offers something... ...but death is all they will ever receive.

I feel like Anton has a mental count of all the time he’s heard “you don’t have to do this.”

An amazing display of craft from two talented actors 😉 terrifyingly understated 😬

Woody really knows what it's like to be related to a killer, the one for hire. It's his own dad. One of those miracles when your gene pool turns you to the right direction.

This scene captured the writing of Cormac McCarthy really well. Simple direct lines usually with some southern accents.

A fantastic scene. It's missing the inner thoughts of Carson that the book provides. He is basically done with this life, and he gives up. Also he feels guilty because he is also a paid hitman, and thinks about all the men that kneeled before him, begging for their lives unsuccesfully. He is not a good guy per se, but at this point of his life, is seriously considering retirement, and he is not 100% into it. Thats a catastrophic mistake when going up against Anton. But in the end his mistake was just that, an oversight. He didnt underestimate Anton because he compares him with the boubonic plague, and is honestly surprised when Moss says he saw Anton and survived. So Wells knows all about Anton. I guess he just believed that Anton was not there anymore, was on his way to Odessa or sth. I m not sure Carson even carries a sidearm in this scene. A 1911 tucked away. It actually seems like he doesnt. He is shocked at the stairs and then just has to accept his fate. Carson ofc knows he has absolutely nothing to bargain with but has to try a hail Mary. When he gets rejected he doesnt lose his dignity by begging Chigurh to spare him, but sends him to hell and insults him also. The book describes the final moment vividly, as Carson raises up his hand, to stop a buckshot that his whole life led to and that he cannot stop with his bare hand.

0:42 an ATM??? I love the sound of that!

Anton Chigurh doesn't seem to be obsessed with murder. He's obsessed with observing how people react when they know they are minutes or seconds away from being murdered.

Ok blacking out the shooting scene was actually awesome. It added to it seriously. For a second I thought it was the film. That was a super good edit LT!

"Do you have any idea how crazy you are?"

One of the scariest movie characters in history. The way he speaks alone is bone chilling.
