Llewelyn wasn’t killed by Anton. The cartel gangsters speeding way as the sheriff arrived did the deed.

[@vivectelvanni]

Yes. in the book we get more context as well.

[@vivectelvanni]

@@TD-mm7nj you get more context in the book, but Anton didn't kill him. His mother in law tells that man who is with the cartel where they're going to meet Lewelyn and they track him down first. Anton does break in and collects the money afterward. In the book there's also another character with Lewelyn that is a hitchhiking woman.

Thats whats perfect about the sheriff returning and not quite understanding what went down. He only knew evil men do evil deeds

[@maxducoudray]

I can’t get enough of the vibe in this movie. I wish more directors were skilled enough to make something interesting without rushing. The lack of music is such and interesting change from most movies.

[@stickvortex]

Politics are more important than interesting stories and skillful cinematography these days. Unfortunately

[@robertmorris8997]

The Birds. The only music in the whole movie is the children in school singing, and maybe a very brief bit from the car radio. Not sure about the radio.

[@AlexG1020]

It's the author of the book, Cormac Mcarthy with the specific style. The Coens pretty much followed the book to the letter. Watch the movie he wrote The Counselor that Ridley Scott directed and it feels very much the same, that nihilism.

[@eddiethepizzahero]

God I fucking hate that word "vibe". Such a Shoofer word.

[@potterj09]

Yeah man, I'm Australian and spent some time in Texas in early 2001 driving around the state to very eerie towns on my own & meeting local folk very similar to this movie. Eventually I met some people near Ft Worth with alot in common & ended up with some lifelong friends :) My home state is twice the size of Texas & I grew up in a small town, but it has nowhere near the same feeling of silence with the occasional wind gust. God, meeting a guy like Antoine when I was 19 would've been terrifying, or even now. Although, I know what cattle guns look like so if he asked me to stand still I might've just tackled his ass & hoped he couldn't reach for a gun before I knocked him out.

[@jimbojones8208]

His human decency is what got him, he went back to give that guy some water. No good deed goes unpunished.

[@florida-man_850]

instead of “good things happen to good people” or “bad things happen to bad people,” No Country for Old Men tells the reality of life: “things happen to people”

[@BloodSportA2]

Love the scene between Tommy Lee's character and his uncle. We're led to believe that Chigurh is a symptom of a new, unknowable type of crime as the better days of the past fade, but the uncle spells out how that thinking is just nostalgia and vanity. Basically, "the world didn't change, you just got older and understood more of it, so it *seems* different."

[@carlossaraiva8213]

I apply those same words for all those who say music or movies made in the past were better than today. Its all nostalgia and vanity as well. Or as i say, old fart talk of which i got a belly full of back in my youth ence why i have no pacience for the young of yore now talking like the old folks we used to mock as being out of the loop. Nobody has the right to blame the kids for not staying with the times.

[@vivectelvanni]

Yes. If you read the book, the story is clearly about Tommy Lee Jones's character. He is the old man in No Country for Old Men. Senseless violence/evil and the silence of God is a mainstay for McCarthy.

[@lynch42o]

@@carlossaraiva8213 nah, Hollweird is pretty trash today. All globalists puppets/sellouts.. Seems like writers coming out these days are all the same. No imagination, no individualism, just woke checklists that are pure contradictions. Full of irony and not much else. Everything started going to shit when jr took power. But notice how in 08 everything started getting progressively worse socially? That wasn't on accident if you look at who these "leaders of the free world" look up to.. Ironically Trump was the best for us policy wise. So no matter how childish he acted, he still had the people in mind. He just has such an ego, but I get it, he was been attacked every which way 24/7..

@@lynch42o that was some serious old fart shit you wrote. You think the old farts of your youth said soemthing different? The clue you have become a senile old fart is when you began to beleive things today became far worse than when you were younger.

[@iambecomepaul]

Kelly Macdonald played Carla Jean. She was born and raised in Glasgow, Scotland. Has the accent of course. This portrayal of a West Texas woman-her vocal cadence, the softness of that accent-was so accurate it’s remarkable. I think she put in one of the best acting jobs I’ve ever seen. It was outstanding… truly outstanding work by a professional actor.

[@jeremyroberts8822]

She’s Scottish?!! Damn. I didn’t hear a hint of her accent in her performance cus you know sometimes even the most skilled actors slip up in some scenes. She did that Texas accent perfectly

[@Esther-Pesta]

In the little time on screen she did a fantastic job. When the sheriff took off his hat to signify Llewelyn's death her crying immediately impacts me every time. So well done. Let alone her Texas accent.

[@celticsF4N]

[@raymondmanderville505]

Agreed

[@ponfed]

Anton Chiggurn is the scariest character in movies. Forget Jason, forget Michael Myers. Forget it all. Anton is a force of nature...

[@goldenageofdinosaurs7192]

This takes place is 1980, so trackers weren’t something as widely used or known about back then. It’s also why the Border Patrol guy was so chill. Edit: Chigur didn’t kill Llewelyn. The Mexicans did that. Chigur did go to the hotel & get the money out of the vent though. That’s when the sheriff sees the screws sitting on the carpet, in the hotel room.

[@TD-mm7nj]

how do we know it was the Mexicans and not Anton I always wondered that

[@TD-mm7nj]

@tjp817they were both there to kill Moss but the machine gun couldve been the Mexicans shooting at Anton to get away no?

[@carlossaraiva8213]

Yes

[@MsScarletwings]

@@TD-mm7nj no. Anton was waiting for Llewelyn to see if he would bring the case to him. The entire scene that shows the conversation with the mother and the Mexicans is to show that they know exactly what Hotel to find him at. Anton Would have eventually found him, too, but not nearly that quickly. Look at how long He took to catch up with the wife

[@TD-mm7nj]

Llewelyn, Anton, and the Mexicans were all in the same place at the same time for a moment right? If that's the case how do we know who killed who? Im not saying I believe it was Anton I just never picked up on where we get the answer

[@TheNeonRabbit]

5:45 He came back because it felt wrong to let the guy in the truck die of thirst.

[@skroll82]

Man, I'm not a "reacts" guy, but I dig your series and I've been a sub since nearly the beginning. Keep it up.

[@freeheeler00]

Great analysis of this film on your first watch. It's such a quality watch. It really never gets old for me. The book is great too!

[@gk5891]

By my interpretation, Llewellyn was killed by the Mexican Drug Cartell. Anton didn't kill him. Llewellyn took some with him. That was one of their trucks fleeing the scene when the Sheriff arrived. Anton was at the scene after the fact looking for the money.

[@JYMBXL]

For the writing, directing and acting, Fargo should be your next Cohen brothers movie.😊

[@jpa5038]

"I ain't got the money." "He don't care. He wants souls." LOL oh man, that was great. Excellent reaction as always, sir.

[@kenlangston3451]

This movie will be forever linked to There Will Be Blood. They both came out in 2007 and were the top two contenders for Best Picture. There Will Be Blood is amazing and definitely worth checking out.

[@maxducoudray]

Excellent suggestion.

[@elwray3506]

Let´s not forget "The Assassination Of Jesse James By The Coward Robert Ford" of the same year with a phenomenal Casey Affleck and the best performance at least I have ever seen from Brad Pitt. Got the short stick at the awards but well worth a watch.

FYI-Though I agree Chigurh is Death personified (see NOTE below), he didn’t kill Llewelyn. The Mexican cartel did. NOTE-My fav. theory about this movie is that Chigurh’s hair (9:07) is supposed to emulate the hood of Death.

[@shitsumeilegumovitch]

Great reaction. It reminded me of why this movie is so good and so important.

Fargo & Burn After Reading are also must see Coen bros movies. I also believe you would thoroughly appreciate & enjoy The Game with Michael Douglas. Thanks for another great reaction!!

Love this movie so much. It's the ugly truth of how life is not a fairy tale of good and evil. Its just life moving forward with no purpose or reason, just survival.

[@dancarter482]

Pulp Fiction has some similar elements. The book of The Hustler is like that - just a window on the lowlife. Hollywierd took it and missed the point (as usual) and ruined it.

[@micahdevynn3967]

Anton Chigurh is the most unsettling character ever depicted on screen, in theater, on a freaking cave wall... just... anywhere. Ever. Everything about him is uncomfortable. Even his breathing sounds menacing. He kind of reminds me of Jaws from the James Bond movies... but whereas jaws came off kind of comical, Chigurh is max level creepy AF!

[@katrinacash6393]

Javier Bardem won a Best Supporting Actor Oscar for this role and the movie took Best Picture. The Coen Brothers who made the film also made the movie "Fargo". That is a hell of a movie also that you should add to your list if you haven't seen it already.

[@peteyn.y.7960]

- *FARGO 1996* Another Coen Brothers Gem!! Great reaction my man!! 💪🏽

[@robertnguyen9493]

Chigurh is a man with a code that he lives by, and anyone who violates that code unknowingly puts themselves on the chopping block. The store clerk asking him about himself and making small talk essentially was a violation of his personal code and privacy, and the flip of the coin was him leaving the clerks fate up to chance, while absolving himself of any say in the matter so he wouldn’t feel guilty about killing a seemingly innocent man. But then again, to Chigurh no one is really innocent.

[@All-Fur-Coat_No-Trousers]

I watched a video yesterday about a psychiatrist who made a rubric to determine the most accurate portrayal of a psychopath in cinema. Anton Chigurh was the winner. Javier Bardem was hesitant to take the role because he's strictly non-violent and didn't think he could do justice to the character, but the Cohen brothers convinced him by saying that's exactly why he's perfect for the role.

[@JohnDoe-bz4yl]

When Javier Bardem got his haircut for the movie, afterward he exclaimed, “I’m not gonna get laid for six months.” For real.

As an interesting, further examination of 'bad'....the Cohen's "Fargo" featuring the brilliant Frances McDormand, Joel's wife. She was also in their first movie...Another take on evil, "Blood Simple". After seeing that one, I knew these guys were the future (at least I hoped so).

[@weezerblink194]

he went back to the "deal gone wrong" scene to give old boy some water. Its interesting. His consciousness and compassion ultimately what got him into all the craziness. If he didnt go back and just left town, the cartel and Chigurh would of never known who he was.

[@stevesheroan4131]

He still would have had the tracker in the money bag, so it could be argued that had he not gone back with the water he never would have gone into hiding in the first place, and they would have found him sooner.

[@purpleprinc3]

@@stevesheroan4131 But perhaps that tracker only has a certain range limit, I'd imagine a few hundred km at most so...yeh he probably would've got tracked down still. Food for thought, have you got any real food though I'm hungry?

[@weezerblink194]

@@stevesheroan4131 yea there is many possibilities. Though I cant imagine why he wouldnt leave town if hes got two million dollars cash. Seems reasonable to just get on out. They did have the tracker but it wasnt like a straight up GPS. It was some old 80s tracking technology which had about a 20 to 30 mile detection radius I presume (though i cant be sure about that from what the movie shows us). If Moss leaves town then even with that type of tracker, they would most likely never find him and since they would of never got the VIN number from his truck, the cartel nor Chigurh would have no leads to go on at all. Also, I would assume that eventually Moss would find the tracker just on the bases of spending the money in which case he destroys it. Its a lot of fan theory but I found it interesting that Cormac had Moss go back with water. I imagine it also helps the audience/reader like review Moss as more of a hero or at least anti-hero as opposed to straight up criminal (which is ultimately what he was). We at that point see Moss as a "good guy" and hope for his success even though he is technically a criminal from the start. Absolutely brilliant story. If yall havnt already, i suggest reading the book. It adds a lot of extra nuance to the story and the characters.

[@stevesheroan4131]

@@weezerblink194 Yeah, I’d like to read the book sometime. I personally found Carla Jean to be my protagonist, but I suppose she was very slightly complicit in the mess by not trying to convince Llewelyn to return the money. She did call Ed to try to protect him though, despite that meaning she was basically turning him in. I love all the various theories, and I still wonder how the “we can’t give out no information” lady at Moss’s job escaped with her life.

What always hits me at the ending, is the "kids" on their bikes, with cards in the spokes - one offers the sort off his back, then they are given the "blood money" - the boys argue. Childhood is over. The 80s... the shift from when young boys could not spend a $100 bill, because those who worked in stores were adults... who would be suspicious, then in the 80s, kids started being the people who handled money...

Cormac McCarthy rarely does a story with a even a mildly positive outcome. The Road was both a book & a film that terrified me & took me down a path of paranoid doomsday prepping for a few years. Although I do value being more ready than most for the switch of civilization as we know it to be flipped, I don't have fond memories of the sleepless nights it gave me for awhile. The idea of judging a fellow traveller at gunpoint by showing their fingers to see if they've self-cannibalized stuck with me. Moderation I guess lol

[@Apeles96707]

He went back cause he felt guilty for not getting the guy in the truck water. His conscience got to him.

[@machtnichtsseimann]

Honestly, one of the most impressive characters in this film is that mobile home park manager! LoL. She isn't a Karen, she is doing her job, standing firm, and sure seems like Anton respects her for it. A kind of strength and morality that is within his particular System of Ethics. As evil as he is, he doesn't just kill anyone for the hell of it.

Brilliant and best critique of 'No Country for Old Men' I've ever heard and I've heard a few.

[@jackrussell1232]

DUDE YOU GOT IT! So many people walk away from this movie disappointed and unsatisfied because the hero didn't walk off into the sunset triumphant. The whole point is that reality doesn't work that way. Actually that concept is a central point in all the Coen brothers' movies. We're living in a state of chaos and we always have. We can romanticize some ideal that we've built in our minds about how people used to think and how that might have been some form of enlightenment, but those people were doing the exact same thing that we are and were just as confused and lost. The ideal never existed in the first place. We have to accept the absurdity of existence. It's only after we've done so that we can get any sense of its profundity. I don't know if you're much of reader or not, but if you are and if this movie was interesting to you I would recommend two books: "The Trial" by Franz Kafka and "The Plague" By Albert Camus.

[@gregc5316]

Money is the root of all evil is the underlying theme of this movie.

is not about how much the things for clean the wound costs, is about nobody can talk about the costumer

[@dmwalker24]

But you're forgetting the story his Uncle told him towards the end. It's not new. It is in fact a coping mechanism to imagine the past was better, and think that everything has now fallen apart. Brutality, violence, and greed are not features of a time. They are features of humanity, no matter the time or place. My take-away is that young men still have the motivations to try to get in the middle of these conflicts. Old men have a different perspective on what's worth risking one's life over.

The site isn't cursed the blood money is. Anton gets the money at the end we saw the screws and the coin in the carpet meaning Llewelyn used the same hiding place. Now that he has the money he is cursed, the car accident is an example.

Don’t know why but This got me thinking you should definitely do a reaction to “NATURAL BORN KILLERS”. An excellent and disturbing action thriller drama about a serial killer couple. An Oliver Stone movie that was very controversial and I don’t see many people reacting to it. One of my all time favorites.

[@julielabrouste6344]

5:50 "I'm confused. Why did he even come back?" I believe this story is about a man without any conscience and a man who has a bit too much. Llewelyn, as shown, was kind of tormented by his conscience in bed, so he went back.

[@PotSmokeGuy]

That's right. He wanted to give the dying man some water.

[@christiankalk4668]

It's also about personal code. Llewellyn told the man he would bring him some water, so he went back. Anton told Llewellyn he would kill his wife. Both HAD to keep their word.

[@cerb1221]

There is an insane amount of detail and philosophy in this movie. Theres several potential meanings, one being life itself. The uncertainty of it. Anton is the personification of death in this interpretation. Coming from nowhere, having principles and requirements yet still so random and uncertain. Leaving some to chance. One thing about Anton that supports it, is that his last name, Chigurh, has no origin. Neither does his accent. This is because he is quite literally from nowhere. The accident he was in is also to show life's uncertainty, along with Llewelyn's death. Speaking of Llewelyn, he is not innocent, Anton was right, Llewelyn had a chance to save his wife. His own greed killed them both. Anton follows a code, and is just doing a job. Both I'd consider to be bad. And The Sheriff is as presented, tired, old, *uncertain* about his career. He wants out. The final scene sums up the entire movie's point. "Then I woke up." Its to signify that we'll never really know what comes after death until we get there, and we never no what'll happen until it does. Not to a certainty. By the way I like your interpretation too. It's entirely true. As a side note, Llewelyn's wife's death shook Anton. The calculating nature of him was broken, if only for a second. It was the first time he ever killed someone without any additional motive. And when she rejected his coin toss, it let the desision lie on him and him alone, without his philosophy or chance to hide behind. This led to the car wreck.

[@jameswatson5358]

Lou Ellen was killed by the Mexican cartel who were fleeing the scene when the sheriff arrived. It maybe that they got the money as well. Antoine didn't arrive until evening and was in the room across fron the room where Lou Ellen was killed so he may have got the money from the adjacent room after not finding it in Lou Ellen's.

I've always loved this film. For many different reasons, but most of all. . .just for the title. No Country For Old Men. . . .the expression has two different meanings. First, is that its a country that older men would never recognize, in which they can no longer find a place because its so far removed from what they know. And the second meaning is; a country where men don't have the privilege of growing old. . . This is such a genius name for this film, because as you your self mostly said these two things are what we see play out throughout the film. Genius

[@magical_pixie_horse7346]

I know how it feels, but if you think about it, Llewellyn deserved his fate. None of the events of this movie had to happen. Not that many people had to die. He did what he did because he wanted to have a fight, and win while getting away with the drug money.

[@BigBoss-zi5ss]

Anton is like Michael Myers but speaks

[@mrgclough]

Of course there was a winner. Anton's the winner. True, he didn't get the money. But he played it out according to his own rules. That gives him great, nearly infinite power. Sure, he could die at some point in his life, but everyone dies, and that's just what he accepts, just a the sheriff accepts it. He had a bit of bad luck there at the end, but he knows you don't always get everything your own way. And off he goes to continue his life under his own terms. How is that not a winner?

[@EgbertWilliams]

This is a great movie, but ... two niggles. One: bringing the Mexican guy water was ridiculous; he needed so much more than water; pick up a phone and make an anonymous call to get the police and an ambulance out there. Two: as explained more in the book, the Woody Harrelson character is a retired Green Beret officer who spent years in the jungles of Vietnam; he was hired because he's good - and, yet, he just saunters into his hotel and let's Chigurh walk up on him; he couldn't have made it easier. Still, a great movie.

Check out: Wind River, Out Of The Furnace, The Drop. All great slow burns, like this. Great cast in every one.

Referring to the thumbnail: You were standing on watch for the first time? Or did you get your your first time-watch? What brand, how much did it cost?

Javier Bardem cut his hair that way on purpose for the movie to make himself look even more psychotic!!!
