You should react to Hell or High Water. Another Fantastic Movie

I find that Anton’s last interaction with the kids in the street is very interesting. It shows how money and greed affects men. These children are young and innocent, they are purely worried about Anton’s well-being and would literally give him “the shirt off their backs” completely free and no charge. Anton’s methodical and transactional thinking as well as his hard exterior refuses him to take the shirt without payment to the children, possibly because he wants to exist without burden of cosmic debts (especially considering the complete random reckoning he just experienced with the crash). But once the cash is given to the children it immediately creates conflict and they are fighting over money that they weren’t even expecting before. I think it’s a great analogy that relates to the overall themes of the movie. There are a lot of events in this movie that are transactional in nature and represent a “give and take” throughout the universe.

yeah the car crash was a "cosmic reckoning" because he obviously killed Carla Jean even though she wouldn't play by the rules and call the coin toss. the coin toss is his way out of those kinds of dicey situations where he feels like he has/wants to kill someone but he also knows they are innocent. (the gas attendant was the other example; he wanted to kill him because he was nosey and he "married into" his job, which Chigur saw as dishonorable). Carla Jean arguably hurt Chigur the most of any of his adversaries.. because she shook his faith and made him doubt his psychotic worldview.

Fun fact: Anton Chigurh is the most accurate depiction of a psychopath in film history, a group of psychiatrists watched 400 films over 3 years and he was deemed the most accurate depiction of a psychopath in cinema history, and the ironic thing is, Javier Bardem (the actor who plays Anton) is a really kind man and absolutely hates violence, and yet he played a psychopath so perfectly

This is the Coen brothers. You mentioned several times how much you loved the dialogue, you have great taste sir! They are amazing script writers. Please watch all of their greats, you won't regret it. The Big Lebowski, O Brother Where Art Thou, Raising Arizona, Burn After Reading....it goes on and on. Their movies span every genre and all of them have brilliant dialogue. Love your reactions, keep doing what you do!

I didn't know what I thought about the movie the first time I watched it. Years later and a dozen viewings, it might be my single favorite film. You see Sheriff Bell telling the story about the bolt Anton is using. Somewhere down there, part of him is trying to make that connection. In a more traditional movie, he would, and it would give him the information he needs to swoop in and help Moss fend off Anton. But Bell is old, tired. He doesn't get there. And anyway, Moss isn't the main character, Bell is. This story is about Bell reaching the point that he can't continue. The movie lets us think Moss is the center of the story, but why the sudden end to his part works (for me) is because he never really was. He's not the one narrating, after all.

The way the sheriff knows that if he takes ONE more step into the motel room, it's over. That's why it's called No Country for Old Men. He simply did NOT wanna die that way.

You should check out True Grit (also with Josh Brolin). It has wonderful dialogue, but the dialogue is based on the speech pattern of the old west.

True. The fact that it was a random that killed him was so unexpected

The way Anton flips a coin to decide whether people live or die, it seems pretty clear that he thinks of himself as a god, or at the very least as a superior predator while ordinary humans with ethics and emotions are sheep. The car crash at the end is his reminder that he's not a deity and he's just as frail as his victims. It's the universe giving him a little comeuppance and reminding him that he is also subject to the whims of chance and sudden misfortune.

I see what you’re saying. I would offer that while he does see himself as separate from humanity in some way, I don’t think this means he feels he is superior. If he did, he would go out of his way to chase down or torture innocent people for fun. Instead, he acts like nature, like the universe itself- he is ambivalent. Things can go either way at the flip of a coin or the drop of a hat, and that’s just like life. Sometimes you get lucky, sometimes you don’t, and despite what you think, you’re never truly in control, and there’s nobody out there waiting for you to light fires in the dark to guide or comfort you. You’re just on your own. The villain in this film doesn’t seem angry. He doesn’t have an axe to grind or an agenda. He just does what he does. Just like life.

They don’t show the label for the last injection. I would guess it’s either an antibiotic, or he gave himself a large dose of lidocaine for more pain relief.

"And then I woke up...." To me that was the cold splash of truth and reality realized in the mind of the Sheriff, ironically in a dream of all things. His father in the dream tries to beat back the dark and the loneliness and cold by starting a fire, while the Sheriff is older, worn down, burn out. HE wakes up without resolution of the dream. There is no justice, there is no triumphant victory over all evil and darkness., no afterlife of happiness. Life just goes on, while we try to hold on to what we have left after losing so much, "putting a tourniquet on it" like the cousin pointed out, some losing more than others, some more ignorant than others.

At the time this movie was made Kelly Macdonald who played Carla Jean the wife of Moss she was zlready 31 years old. Josh Brolin was about 37. Teir age difference is pretty believable for a couple. She just looks younger than her real age which has been true for the entire career of this actress. Even now at age 48 she looks she is still in her late 30s. She was always a very youthful looking person.

RIP Cormac McCarthy

Anton Chigurh gives himself an injection of an anesthetic, this is a method of local anesthesia that is widely practiced in surgery, usually a solution of novocaine or lidocaine. I myself have repeatedly used this when I was doing piercings or when, at the request of someone, I was treating scars or wounds at home. But I don’t recommend doing this without a license, practice and the ability to document everything. Inaccurate use of medical anesthetics can lead to anaphylactic shock in humans, which can be fatal.

The Coen brothers are brilliant film makers. They have a wide range of film making styles but there's an unmistakable Coen-esque quality to them all. There are a couple of their movies that don't quite hit for me but generally I love them, and Burn After Reading (with Brad Pitt, George Clooney, Frances McDormand, Tilda Swinton, John Malkovich...) is my very favorite. I also love Hail, Caesar! (also with Josh Brolin) and Intolerable Cruelty (with George Clooney and Catherine Zeta-Jones). Joel Coen produced and directed Denzel Washington and Frances McDormand in The Tragedy of Macbeth, which was fantastic. This is a great adaptation of the novel No Country For Old Men by Cormac McCarthy. I read it after seeing the movie and it's one of the few times the book and movie are almost exactly the same. Several other of his books have been made into movies as well.

What Chigurh did, in a medical sense, was provide standard care for a wound. He rinsed away the blood in the tub so he could see what he was working with, irrigated the wound with a cleansing solution (probably betadine in sterile water), debrided any nonviable tissue and removed anything foreign (like the piece of cloth) from the wound, then gave himself a massive dose of antibiotics to prevent infection while he kept going.

I guess here are my 2 cents even so its probably pointless to write this at this point but here goes me rumbleling. The movie is a great thought for a dime for A the general western fans that where flabbergasting about the hero winning while B making a pointiant criticism on peoples mindsets about mixing up their personal reality with the truth . Which is things outside of your control will happen and C each character representing a part of this Truth. Plenty of people analysed this movie to death but in a short and my personal take. The MC ,Hero Llewelyn. He is the classical Western protag. He has a classical code and a sense for justice as understood by Modern audiences. He is capable and a general good guy and didnt loose his morals. Then there is chigurh. Classical Antagonist cold, calculated , efficient. He does whatever he needs to do to get what he wants but he clearly operates on the same principle. The wind blows and he rides it. As evil as he appears to be he has a code that seems through the movie as the correct way to follow as he gets what he wants.Yet his way while claiming it is the right is certainly not fool proof. The Sheriff. Tom Bell. First he appears the odd one out. usually the sheriff in such westerns assists the main character or is first opposed to them. a Side character. But this movie twists this. Per definition the sheriff seems to be closest to the definition of a Protagonist which is odd because if you would compare it to personal feeling the cowboy "should" be but he isnt. He also ressembles another way besides Anton or Llewelyn. His talk with his father about vanity and about his dream reveal the clarity of this harsh world. While anton is essentially this cold harshness and embraces it and Llewelyn is fully opposing it to a Fantastival degree completely banking on his Will being "right"; the answer is a more subtle one. One that is perfectly in junction with the last conversation the wife had with anton. by all accounts one could describe him not just as an insane man and her a grieving woman in a difficult conversation but, most importantly; a Truth. A Truth about choice(The coin has no say , its just you). but also about inevitability (The coin got here the same way i did) People always have trouble fully understanding Anton but i dare say he is the most reasonable based on his principles. You can see multiple times in this movie how there are windmills. one is functional and can be turned. the other is broken and so turns to where ever the wind blows. The latter perfectly shows antons mindset. The cowboy doesnt just win. The stars dont just allign for one person . The cartel he stole that money from still wanted it back and they send a dozen of people. Llewelyn cant just magicly fight them all off if he isnt prepped and even then. Miracles dont happen for all of us. This whole story to me is a wake up call for people who do nothing but escape reality and never learned to live in it in a sense. But , the story doesnt tell you to just give up. i think some people called the sheriffs way the Torch. you pass it on from the next generation because you know reality is a harsh mistress. That is also why the movie certainly feels open ended. Thats just life. The story of Life.

I think a general theme of the movie is about showing the chaotic/random nature of the universe. We want good things to happen, but sometimes bad things just happen. We want to win the coin toss, but you're bound to lose just as much as you win. The same way that Chigurh said he got there the same way that the coin did, so did the car that hit him at the end. You never expect to get in a car crash when you leave home. It just happens. Getting in the way of Chigurh is like being caught in a storm. It's a chaotic force of nature that can be destructive, and it doesn't spare anyone caught in its path.

The off-screen death is to make a point that in movies, there is a hero who wins against a villain. But in reality, someone might think they're the hero of their own life, but sometimes bad unexpected things happen to you that you can't control. It's the same with the random people who meet Chigurh by chance and get killed, or the mom who get cancer or the story of the cattle killer who gets shot by a ricochet trying to kill a steer. I think the final car crash was more subverting the expected. We think Chigurh might be an incarnation of death, killing people at random. But even he is affected by the chance of a car running through a stoplight. I liked your reaction, but constantly looking at bottom of screen is a bad look.

The movie grows on you with each rewatch. The first time I was disappointed that hero dies off screen and the villain get away at the end. This is because the main theme of the movie is the randomness of death. Unlike in the movies a good person has as much chance at dying as a bad. We have no control over the time and cause of our demise.

For the hotel scene, when Anton looks like he’s right behind the door, I think the point of that scene is to show the sheriff realizing he’s done with the job. His hesitation and imagination of this unseen evil being behind the door was the final straw. The money box being gone from the vent is proof Anton came and went. As for the end, after watching this movie like 5 times, I love it. I don’t know know what else there is to wrap up. Does Anton getting arrested or dying on screen really feel fitting? We saw he does his medical care himself so it’s likely he’ll die or get himself caught soon. Ed is now retired and it's a beautiful ending that shows so much emotion. In the same abrubt ending to the story that Ed experienced (he never even knew what Anton looked like), we're done with the story too.

I really like your tail on the hotel scene. That was on moment he knew he was done. I liked him so much I was praying he didn't go inside, because I told Anton was still inside. Maybe seen Anton meet his end or get arrested or would have been satisfying in a sense. But him just walking away and life continuing seems to really fit the vibe and overall message of the movie

One of the morals to this story : the bad guy usually wins, we just dont write it down when it happens.

I love stories that don't "complete" everything! It's just the telling of a story, but the people that remain still go on once the story that's being told is done. There's no "neat and tidy" endings, except from the Hollywood "tropes" that you were talking about, so this is more realistic. Nice reaction. x

That is no country for old men. The young In one another's arms, birds in the trees, -Those dying generations-at their song, The salmon-falls, the mackerel-crowded seas, Fish, flesh, or fowl, commend all summer long Whatever is begotten, born, and dies. Caught in that sensual music all neglect Monuments of unageing intellect. An aged man is but a paltry thing, A tattered coat upon a stick, unless Soul clap its hands and sing, and louder sing For every tatter in its mortal dress, Nor is there singing school but studying Monuments of its own magnificence; And therefore I have sailed the seas and come To the holy city of Byzantium. W.B. Yeats, 'Sailing to Byzantium'; half of it. I'd give you the other half, but I reckon you need to work for it just a little bit.

Absolutely not the way I thought it was going to be LOL

It took me a long time to realize that Josh Brolin is the B-plot. The real main character is Anton and the "antagonist" is Tommy Lee Jones, or the reverse if you prefer to not have the evil character be the main character. Such a good movie. That year had a bunch of amazing films. You could just watch all the 2008 Oscar nominees that were along side this movie and be well served.

I like the sound of that. Even though Josh Brolin had the most screen time and was taught to be the antagonist. It was the other two And I think I'm going to do that. I'm going to look up 2008 Oscar nominees and see what gems I find

The way I see the ending is Carla Jean is Chigurgh's final murder; after this, he's finished, never to be seen or spoken of again. Normally Chigurgh would've _never_ been caught off guard by that random vehicle t-boning him; but what Carla said "The Coin don't have no say, *it's just you"* actually disturbed him. Everyone else begged and was a victim, but she refused to play his game. And it is just a game. There on the road with bone sticking out of his arm, he has no words for those kids, no plan, no ultimatum; he's just a hurt old man.

No soundtrack whatsoever. Makes this movie even more special.

My dad wanted to call me Llywelyn but my mum vetoed it. She didn't think the English would be able to say it and even if they could I'd be constantly asked how it's pronounced, lol. Most Welsh names are like that though. I freaking love this movie. Anton's more of a personification than a person, or at least that's how he likes to see himself. Fate/Death/Luck or whatever just blowing along and leaving ruin. Carla Jean calling out the stupidity of the coin toss and him getting hit by that car randomly shatter that delusion some, I hope. I remember reading at some point that Llywelyn might have been intended as a sort of reality check of heroes in action movies. He's a complete bad ass and does almost everything right and yet he still dies bloody and surprised, much like it goes in real life. Interesting if not depressing ass concept to put in a movie. Also, I definitely did get that same feeling at the end. Especially the first time. I think the movie says a lot more than it seems at first and it takes some rewatches and time to figure out all the things it's trying to say. As far as I know it's all subjective anyway though, I've heard so many different opinions it's amazing. It's like when you first read philosophy, I guess, haha.

That's so interesting to hear. I really loved the name Llewellyn. I randomly asked one of my students yesterday if they've ever heard that name before, because it was fresh in my mind and I really liked it. How would you have felt if your name ended up being Llewellyn? Do you think you would have liked it? Yes Carla calling out how the corn toss made no sense was bold and I absolutely loved it. Cuse it actually doesn't. I think she told him the corn has no power he does. He chooses to kill people or not. Is unfortunate that he ended up killing her. And yes yes. Llewellyn getting killed off screen was so unexpected. I think the creators got their point across. I love that you brought that up.

@@FrankFreezy_ Yeah, I think I would have liked it. I've always had something of an interest in Celtic history because of my family roots so it would fit. Although I guess a lot of people would call me Lou, which is hard to imagine. Doesn't seem to fit, but other names rarely do I suppose. I think my mum chose well in the end though. Ended up named Shane, so I got a bit of Irish but everyone in the Western world at least still knows how to say it. It's a nice balance, lol. I personally like happier outcomes for characters I like than this movie gives but it sure does make it memorable. Plus it really fits a Cormac McCarthy adaption.

The villain, Anton Chigurh, thinks he is the embodiment of fate and chance. That’s why he talks to multiple people about the path that led them to meeting him. The end shows though that he is just a man that is subject to the same chance everyone else is as he gets into a car accident that could get him caught. This happens right after Carla challenges his ideology as well by refusing to call the coin flip and placing the responsibility solely on him.
