Reacting to NO COUNTRY FOR OLD MEN (2007) | Movie Reaction

[@davelister2961]

The guy's wife is the Scottish actress who was Renton's schoolgirl love interest in Trainspotting. She does a great job with the American accent. She's a brilliant actress. Underrated in my opinion.

[@TheNeonRabbit]

@@seanstinchfield-mp2xm I didn't realize that was her. She was Irish in that I think. Being able to believably do accents seems to get her a lot of work.

[@Hexon66]

By 'great', if you mean overly broad, which is how she would have been directed, then yeah. And she was great in Boardwalk Empire, too. Though some take issue with her Irish accent there.

[@Hexon66]

Why does it come as no surprise that Dawn Marie is the first person whose reaction to meeting Anton Chigurh was "Hehehe... I like you!" ?

[@PeterEvansPeteTakesPictures]

That reaction is probably the only immediate defensive action with any potential of success with Chigurh. "You... you mean I'm not your dark inexorable fate...?" "Naw brah, let's us go 'ave a beer." (Later climbs out of toilet window while Chigurh is making tricky jukebox decisions)

The first time I saw this film, I was mad the way Brolin died off screen. I wanted the epic showdown. Upon further watches, I realize how brilliant it is

[@confucius12012]

Me too. Like her, I didn’t even realize that was him on the floor in the room. I didn’t care about a big showdown but yeah, the way he was killed off was a very poor choice, imho.

[@foilhattiest1]

I thought it was stupid and after about 5-6 watches I still think it's about equally stupid.

[@OgreProgrammer]

Llwellyn's off screen death is actually foreshadowing for the unseen death of Chigurh, just after the end of the film. Chigurh says to Carson, "If the rule you followed brought you to this, of what use was the rule?" He didn't see that it applied to him too; he thinks his rules and behaviour keep him safe, yet he has an infected leg wound, a broken arm, a head wound, and possibly abdominal injuries, all from insisting on doing things his way, and there are sirens in the distance as he tries to walk away, one armed, and unarmed. All the main characters insist on doing things by their own rules, and all die off screen. The only one that doesn't have a violent death is Ed Bell, because the rules he follows are to take the safe path, to think twice, to go home, to listen to the common sense of others, and his way allows himself to back down and retire.

[@vermithax]

There are movies that not only bear a rewatch, but are better upon rewatching them. This is definitely one of those films.

[@diarrheagondola]

Llewellyn did 2 tours in Vietnam. He had been in the shit, and seeing a drug deal gone wrong pales in comparison to the horrors of war (especially one as miscalculated as Vietnam). He was practical in the way he approached the scene (and tracking the money). He just shouldn't have gone back.

[@nscollay]

He might've been tracked down still. He should have reported it to the police. By taking the money, he puts Chigurh on his trail, and mixes his wife up in it.

[@flerbus]

@@nscollay yes, if he never went back, he would have had no idea he was in danger probably would have been killed at his trailer home

[@MikeB12800]

The tracker was in the bag, he would have been tracked down.

[@diarrheagondola]

@@MikeB12800 It was a proximity tracker with a short range. Chigurh didn't even get a reading until he was about a quarter mile away. If Llewellyn and Carla Jean picked up and left (with no truck to lead Chigurh to them), he would never have found them, and he would have had time to break down the money and remove the tracker in the process.

[@t0dd000]

Plus. After you hit a certain age, and especially if you are a person of the earth (farmer, hunter, outdoorsman), the less rattled you are by life and death. And at the same time, more appreciative.

[@innocentbystander1853]

Possibly the best final line delivery ever…”And then I woke up.” - (cut to black / roll credits)

[@Scary__fun]

His dreams of his father I took as being in heaven (the father going on ahead and he'd be waiting when he got there). Waking up is him returning to the hell on earth he still lives in... where people kill others for sometimes unknown reasons. There's a lot of symbolism with Chiguhr being an angel of death handing out people's fates at times with a flip of a coin. Llewelyn's offscreen death is subverting how most people think they are the hero of their own stories, but in actuality evil sometimes wins instead. Even good people on Earth meet untimely fates like being accidentally shot when attempting to kill a steer, a mom getting cancer, or stopping to help someone whose car runs down and being killed. It's a very pessimistic story about life.

[@Flesharrower]

[@leniobarcelos1770]

Fun Fact: The actress that plays Carla Jean, Kelly Macdonald is Scottish and has a Scottish accent in real life. I was pretty surprised to find that out because she delivers an American Texas accent so well. It sounds completely natural to me.

[@PolferiferusII]

A lot of southern US accents were derived in large part from Scottish settlers, or so I've heard. Over the centuries, in gradual and subtle ways, both have changed from what they were to what they sound like today. Obviously, there were other influences as well, and currently US accents are flattening to where there's less and less difference between US regions. When I hear 1950s Pennsylvania people speaking in old news reels, they sound incredibly different from what my PA relatives sound like now. Even Chicago, where I live now (moved here from PA in the late 1960s), many people no longer sound like those SNL "Da Bears" characters. I think it's the god-awful internet that's causing it, mostly.

[@robpeterslaypaul]

Fascinating that you connected the Biker from "Raising Arizona" to Chigurh. The two films hit so many of the same notes for me, in re fate, etc.

Oh fer Pete's sake! 🙄🙄🙄🙄🙄 Westerns are all about iconic visuals, a good guy v. bad guy struggle locked in a mythical narrative, along with various elements including cowboys, villains, gunslingers, saloons, horseback riding, shootouts, and the vast, rugged landscapes of the American West...all of which this movie has IN SPADES!🥰🥰🥰

[@hancocacolashotfirst]

Whoever told her this was not a Western lied. This might not take place in the 1800s but it 100% is a Western.

[@rx7dude2006]

Bell’s allegorical dreams genuinely encapsulate the meaning behind No Country for Old Men. The retired sheriff doesn’t appear to give much thought to his first dream, but it symbolizes his lingering guilt over Moss’ death all the same. Like in his dream, he was entrusted with a task but failed, despite his promise to Carla Jean. It is implied that Bell feels this failure subconsciously, but he can’t put the feeling into words, hence the dream. The second of Bell's dreams is where people become split over the No Country for Old Men meaning. As Bell notes before recalling the second of his dreams, he’s 20 years older than his father ever was, meaning he has become the old man his visions enact. He and his father are back in simpler times in the dream, riding through the snow and cold together.

[@DavidAntrobus]

@rx7dude2006 Also, his dream father is "carrying the fire" referred to in Cormac McCarthy's other novel, _The Road_ . In that, "carrying the fire" means love and hope and the passing on of honour and knowledge through the generations, making moral decisions, something that makes us human.

[@GlynDwr-d4h]

The whole movie is a biblical allegory. That's why there are two trees in the field when Llewelyn finds the money. It's a reference to the Tree of Life and the Tree of Knowledge in the Garden of Eden. Llewelyn's decision to take the money is the "fall from from grace." Throughout the whole movie, Tommy Lee Jones is trying to save him while Javier Bardem is trying to kill him. It's symbolic of the relationship of God, Satan, and man who is caught in between them as they wrestle for his soul. That's why Jones and Bardem never actually appear in the same scene, and it's the deeper significance of the scene where Jones goes into the hotel room and nearly runs into Bardem. In the beginning, Jones explains that he followed his father in becoming a law man. He's a symbol of the law, meaning order, the good. Seguir in old Spanish means "to follow." Anton Chigurh also follows, like Jones, but his is the opposite path. Where Jones follows the rule of law and order, Chigurh follows the rule of chaos, the randomness of the universe, symbolized by the randomness of a coin toss that decides life and death. He even makes reference to following in the scene where he asks Woody Harrelson of what use was the rule he followed if it led him to his death, as well as implying it when he explains that "I got here the way the coin did." In the dream at the end, Jones again makes reference to following his father. He is quite literally following him as his father rides up ahead. As to what it means specifically, it's open to interpretation, but it seems to be a reference to the afterlife, but in the sense that ancient Greeks used the term. It's a reference to the meaning of our life, which is its connection to the eternal because it's what "form" our life took, and forms, like good and evil, are unchanging, transcendent, and immortal, even while heroes, villains, and ordinary men like Llewelyn are not. If you employ the ancient Greek understanding of it, the meaning of our life is our eternal life or the after life. The flame or fire generally is a recurring symbol in Cormac McCarthy's novels, I think. I read somewhere it's a reference to gnosticism.

[@dan_hitchman007]

Javier Bardem is a chameleon-like actor. He is so gentle and vulnerable in "The Sea Inside." It is an amazing, heart-wrenching film.

[@progunliberal]

This isn't a movie about the "story". It is a philosophical film about good and evil, life and death. About the older ones always thinking things were better in the past, and they never were. "You can't stop what's coming".

[@gggallin8279]

I think it’s less about good and evil and more about violence and consequence being a force in itself. That’s what makes the car crash scene so awesome to me since the whole movie Anton gets build up as this force of nature himself who acts more like a calamity than a human. But in the end even he is not safe from sudden violence he’s just a human like everybody else

[@YodatheHobbit]

Those aren't mutually exclusive. it's about both. Silly to say otherwise.

[@treystone9464]

5:54 Chigurh is alarmed by the nice cashier who told him "I saw you were from Dallis" which means "I saw your license plate on your stolen car for anyone to ask", he's asking questions, not be mean, but to decide if he should not kill him. Ultimately, the coin decides.... Later, In the motel he pulls out change, he has a bloody quarter.

[@treystone9464]

@TE.LE.GRAMDawnMarieYT I won what? Like the nice cashier won? Is this a bot?

[@radioroscoe]

To answer a couple of your questions: Woodie found the brief case in the grass because crossing that bridge is the only path berween the US/Mexican border there. He is guessed that he would not chance trying to take it into Mexico, that he was in a hurry to hide it, and it was a decent hiding place being a "no man's land" between the borders. As to the case in the hotel vent: he rented the room, put the case in the vent because (1) is was a decent hiding place and (2) he could retrieve it from another room if he had to. The Mexicans tracked him down and were waiting in HIS room, the same room Chigur shot them all in.

[@user-wr9ej6xe4j]

Incredible movie! When I watched this on the big-screen back in 2007 I found the ending to be a little bit of a let-down, but now it’s fucking brilliant. Death happens randomly. Our hero dies off-screen. It’s ballsy. The film doesn’t need a Hollywood-y shootout. ”If you think this has a happy ending, you haven’t been paying attention” (Tyrion, ”Thrones”). Oh, and THAT guy is Garrett Dillahunt who played both Jack McCall and Francis Wolcott on ”Deadwood”. You’re lovely. Keep ’em coming! Hugs from Sweden. 💙🥂

All Carson Wells had to do to find the case full of money was to follow the blood trail to where it deviated onto the concrete barrier that Llewelyn Moss stepped up on, accompanied by the dried puddle of vomit. The trail was off camera when Carson tracked it, but it would still have been there and likely swarmed by flies and other insects. Easy to put two-and-two together and look over the chain-link fence.

Kelly Macdonald (Carla Jean) has had such diverse roles throughout her nearly 30 year career, from "Trainspotting" (1996) and "Elizabeth" (1998), to "Harry Potter" (2011) and Pixar's "Brave" (2012), to name only a few.

Together with "there will be blood" (coincidentally shot around the same area and time), 2007 gave us 2 bonechilling characters with Anton Chigurh and Daniel Plainview

No Country is definitely one of those films you think about and ponder and turn over in your mind for ages after watching it. Then you watch it again and start the whole process over again. I'd love to see you react to another Coen Bros flick, Barton Fink, which will mess with you like nothing else outside of a Lynch or a Jodorowsky flick.

The deputy you thought looked familiar. Is jack mccall from deadwood. And he also plays a later character in season three

[@thedrizzle06925]

The large theme of this is randomness of life. The sheriffs dreams and even how some deaths are not shown

[@rickcrane9883]

Having seen dozens of your reactions, I notice all the references to “pooping in my pants”. This one comes early at 4:35.

[@realBkay]

16:24 - THAT, is a True reaction boys and girls. The phrase - spine-tingling - comes to mind. Dawn never disappoints.

This is actually a pretty common occurence for half the population of America. Strangely, it never seems to happen to the other half.

Anton Chigurh is the best villain in film history, in my humble opinion. Bardem's psychopath acting was perfect.

[@julsarmijo7836]

Filmed in my lovely state of New Mexico. Such a classic!

[@JPDillon]

@22:16 "Who is this guy? I think I know him." Yes, that is the actor that played Jack McCall in Deadwood. Garret Dillahunt. Speaking of which... More Deadwood, please!

[@CopiousDoinksLLC]

My personal theory about Anton Chigurh is that he believes he's an agent of karma - he's 'protected' as long as he's going after bad people who his employers send him after. The final scene with Carla Jean breaks him for one of two reasons: 1. He actually was protected by some higher, supernatural power and his protection was revoked because he chose to kill Carla Jean despite her not calling the coin toss. When he broke the rules of the higher power that sent him, all bets were off and he was open to suffer the wrath of the universe. 2. He's just a psychopath who has a very strict set of beliefs which he cannot violate without losing his killer instinct. When Carla Jean refused to call the coin toss, it caused his entire belief system to become upset and he lost that edge which allowed him to stay ahead of his victims and the law. In either case, it's pretty evident from that point onward that Anton's luck is going to change dramatically for the worse.

Javier Bardem rightfully deserved his Oscar for best actor in a supporting role. The movie won three more Oscars including best motion picture.

[@adamwells9352]

That feeling of waiting for it to kick off, betrayed by a sudden and off-screen death of what seemed like the main character was absolutely deliberate. One part of this movie is a critique of the glamorization of violence. Llewellyn dies off-screen because violence doesn't actually select heroes, no matter how much we want to believe it does.

[@Ozai75]

Notice that most of the money was $1 bills after the top rows. Also it was hilarious that you didn't recognize that the MC was killed.

The tank and mechanism is basically a form of Captive Bolt Pistol used for killing cattle for slaughter.
