No Country For Old Men - Coin Toss Scene [HD]

[@_GandalfTheGrey_]

I don’t think the supporting actor gets enough credit in this scene. Such a small part but he played it perfectly.

[@weirdshibainu]

He did

[@TGiannini007]

@Pulak Sinha his name is Gene Jones and he’s NOT playing normal. He’s a fine actor, with many credentials and has been actor for years.

[@Ralph-ny1ey]

Why? Chigurgh would make me crap my pants during this scene wether I knew it was a movie or not. Javier commands the scene, but yes, supporting actor nailed the demographic character.

[@Journeyoflove13]

Yes, he did. I felt so sorry for him..

[@facina3390]

Javier steals the scene, but the cashier deserves just as much credit. He seems so much like every old timer I’ve seen working at gas stations in Texas, I forget he’s just an actor. He nailed it.

[@kentinson1670]

What's scary about Anton throughout the movie is he never quickens his pace. He takes his time and does everything in a slow and methodical manner. The fact that he was taking his time to chat and then decide whether he plans to kill the old man is really what puts you on edge.

I love how terrified the shop owner gets when he finally realizes mid way through this weird conversation that the stranger is not going to leave, he is not going to stop staring him down, and is likely going to kill him at any moment. When he accepts the coin toss and calls it you can see he actually embraces his own death. He straightens up, says "heads" almost with a hint of pride and dignity. When Anton says "good job" he really means it. Not just his luck, but the fact that he stopped dodging his questions and his gaze and confronted what's in front of his. This scene has so many layers. Amazing!

[@SAMSARALIVEEEEEE]

Also the fact that the old guy probably realized halfway that he’s alone, in the desert, with a bloodthirsty psychopath in front of him. There was nothing stopping Anton from killing him at any moment. He was completely helpless

Honestly, I don't think the guy really knew how much danger he was in. His demeanor throughout was confused, but still too essentially calm.

Does Chigurh manipulate the shop keeper? I would say no. It would likely have been easier just to shoot him. Chigurh clearly isn't worried about leaving a trail of destruction behind him. Is Chigurh unable to connect with the shop keeper? Again, no. It does not serve any purpose to question about marrying into it. It doesn't provide any information that Chigurh desires. It seems he tries to connect in some way. The fact that Chigurh uses the coin removes any chance of self-serving. He is not personally deciding if killing benefits himself.

The Gas Station attend is a sweet guy and the viewer spends the whole scene on edge hoping the psychopath doesn't kill him. Brilliant script, directing but most of all acting, sensational scene.

The reason Anton got mad at him in the first place was the small talk. Anton believes that language should be to the point and concise The man has his morals

[@emilstorgaard9642]

​@Smarty Jonez I also think Anton got pissed because the license plate was giving out clues of where he just came from

[@piardelaet-vse]

Чтобы так сыграть мало репетиций надо или до предела вжиться в роль, тренировать мимику, движение или быть таким по жизни.

[@oktusprime3637]

I know everyone talks about the performance of Anton, the older fella, and even the coin but I think the tractor outside doesn’t get enough credit. Never seen such phenomenal performance from a vehicle, let alone a work one.

[@DyspareEmbodied]

Personally, I thought the peanut wrapper stole the scene. The amount of control that it showed as it slowly unfurled itself was the pinnacle of the supporting actor role.

The writing, directing, and editing are only surpassed by the acting. A complete tour de force in under 5 minutes.

İ dont think so. Everything is perfect here but even an irreguler editing would black out whole scene.

[@compounding_gains]

By saying "which it is" before walking away, Anton reinforces that the store owner should henceforth mind his own business, treat Anton as just another person, not draw attention to any of his features, and let him go on his seemingly random journey. The scene is similar to when the man in the office asks if Anton is going to kill him, to which he replies, "That depends. Do you see me?". He is at once taunting his potential victims with the idea that they are simultaneously dealing with death and a non-entity. He threatens people for merely observing his person, a ghastly Schrödinger's Cat thought experiment given agency.
