If you could address billions of people from around the world for an hour or two, what would you say to them? Let me guess, you'd start dancing and singing for them, right? Of course not. You'd spread your message to the world. Give me the earpiece of one million people and I would tell them of The World Economic Forum, Council for Inclusive Capitalism, Bilderberg Group and Bohemian Grove, Maoist Revolution, etc. Not animation and actors.

Moss's death happens off screen for a purpose. There's a point in all human endeavor where skill, preparation and even luck becomes meaningless. The theme is touched on again and again in the movie. Anton sees himself as an agent of fate: he will overcome because the universe wills it...but he's a fool too, as the car wreck at the end proved. In the face of fate your efforts are wasted. We're pawns. All of us.

Meaninglessness doesn't necessarily require an off screen death. I'd say the problem is the audience, by that poitn the audience is so invested that showing his death would have shaken up the audience too badly. You see death scenes, but not a lot of movies with the guts to 'feature' the protagonist death. To Live and Die in LA did it fantastic, even at the beginning you are invested in one of the cops, then he's shot in the first five minutes and its unbelievably jarring. At the end the other detective gets shot and it just blows the audience away. And for the makers it might have also just been played because its so rare. I've heard writers I really respect talk about their balls in killing him offscreen like that.

They are not 'melodies', but rather mainly single notes or 'musical sounds'. I love them, actually.

This is one of those films that has to be viewed more than once to fully understand it. I noticed that Moss was warned more than once that he was going to die over this money. Carson Wells warned him, Chigurh warned him and Ed Tom warned his wife that Moss was in serious trouble. Moss’s death was foreshadowed but because we the audience expects the hero to save the day, we ignored the signs. No Country For Old Men is one of the best movies I have ever seen. We need a prequel. Chigurh deserves a stand alone movie. Maybe he used to be a nice guy with a wife and kids. One day he loses everything and becomes a ruthless contract killer.

I know the Mexican guys had a receiver just as Anton did, but how did the Mexicans know to go to the town of Del Rio in the first place? Anton Chigurh had to look up Moss's phone bill at his trailer, with which he called Lewellyn's mother-in-law in Odessa. Anton eliminated that possibility and saw Del Rio on the phone bill which finally made him search there for the transponder to start signaling, but how could the Mexicans have possibly known this without looking at the phone bill like Anton did?

I don't understand this plot point of putting the money in a vent and then sliding it so it can be reached from another room. Motel office knows he rented both rooms, so what is this going to do? He starts pulling it from the second room when he hears noises, then next thing you know he's hitched a ride out of town. How could both the cartel and Anton miss the fact that he had two rooms? He was pulling the money through the vent when Anton's transponder identified room 138 as having the money. If Anton drove in a few minutes later he would have identified the second room, 38, as having the money and killed Lewellyn. I don't get what Lewellyn was trying to achieve with the second room.

Saw the movie then read the book. Moss picks up a hitch hiker in the book and the dialogue between them is brilliant, she is only 15, Moss gives her $1000 to get to california, she offers to sleep with him but he declines, she gets a gun put to her head by the cartel, Moss puts down his weapon and they are both shot, Moss was a sniper in Vietnam, Also at the end, Bell goes and interviews the boys that take Chigurhs gun. Anton returns the money to the rightful owners, Anto returns the money to therightful owners and suggests that they work solely with him now,Theres also dialogue between Anton and Wells and Anton explains why he was arrested at the start of the film (he choked a young guy in a cafe who said something to him that he didnt like and wanted to get arrested just to see if he could extracate himself from the handcuffs), also Carla jean calls the coin toss in the book and losses... It made me smile when one of the kids that bell interviews has L and R written on his trainers impying he wasnt the smartest kid... Definately read the book

It is so funny that all the hindsight-experts are ranting that they would have checked the money case as soon as they took it looking for a transponder. A fair question is how many hinders thought about that at the first movie viewing. Slim to none, if they are being honest. He's dealing with a drug deal gone amok by two groups of criminals. If it was Federal then tracking devices are in the picture to check for.
