The Sheriff is played by Tommy Lee Jones. It's a great role for him. He is the old man that is not ready for what's coming. It's the symbolism of the title. He's not ready for the cruelty of the next generation's criminals. He thought the good guys would win in the end. Then he realized he was not able to withstand the onslaught. Another GREAT film with Tommy Lee Jones is The Fugitive. He is at his peak in that role. It also features Harrison Ford. Definitely give it a watch.

Noticed how when Lewellens injury for the jacket, the college student wasn't concerned about helping him unless he got money first, and the two young boys were concerned for Anton out of goodness not expecting any reward? That to me was a symbolism of innocence that the two young boys had not been corrupted by the world and its greed. Antons escape is true to that sometimes bad/evil people get away with things in this world but eventually their demise will come one day too. That's the significance of the car crash at the end... Anton thinks he's something more, but in the end, he's human and can not escape his fate of death one day. Carla Jean was the only one who made Anton make a choice without the coins decision, so he broke his own morals and rules of people's fate. The coin doesn't have no say, it's just you.

A great, classic Woody Harrelson flick to watch is "Natural Born Killers" (1994), also stars Juliette Lewis, Robert Downey Jr. Tom Sizemore, Edie McClurg, Rodney Dangerfield, & Tommy Lee Jones. Written by Quentin Tarantino, and directed by Oliver Stone.

[@RetroClassic66]

Actually the original screenplay was by Tarantino, but it was heavily rewritten by Oliver Stone, along with Richard Rutowski and David Veloz, so Tarantino only got story credit for the film. Tarantino honestly has said that he hates what was done to his screenplay, which was considerably different from Stone’s final version, although admittedly Stone did an incredible job on it. I think Jay & Amber should see a few more Oliver Stone films before seeing it, though, such as SALVADOR (1986), PLATOON (1986), TALK RADIO (1988), THE DOORS (1991), and JFK (1991), before tackling such an intense and heady film as NATURAL BORN KILLERS (1994). It helps to be a bit more familiar with Stone’s intense style and especially Robert Richardson’s kaleidoscopic cinematography.

As soon as a saw the notification for this reaction I immediately thought of the well-known Robert Redford GIF with him nodding his head in approval. lol

Fun fact: the actress playing Carla (Llewellyns wife) is actually British...she pulls off her southern accent perfectly. ❤

She's actually Scottish Kelly Macdonald. She was born in Glasgow, Scotland

Amber’s hair! Wow! Hella cute!

[@patrickpierson370]

PLEASE finish The Godfather trilogy soon! Jordan! If you haven't yet seen 1993's "Rookie of the YEar", I HIGHLY RECOMMEND that one for YOU. Amber! If you two haven't yet seen 2005's "Hitch", I HIGHLY RECOMMEND that one for BOTH OF YOU. Question: Are you EVER gonna finish the Monty Python trilogy (1983's "The Meaning of Life")???

[@susanholly007]

They also never finished the “Back to the Future” trilogy. And did they finish “The Hobbit” trilogy? I vaguely seem to remember but couldn’t find it.

[@mitchelldobbs9034]

Great take, Amber! I had to see it multiple times to get that perspective. It's all about the idea that real life does not always have storybook endings and sometimes bad things happen to good people. When we're young we think things are so simple and clear. When we get older we realize that life is complicated and hard, and the hero/villain edit we had in our minds growing up missed some things. Glad you guys saw this film! Mitch

This movie takes place in the early 80's. Nobody knew you could be tracked like that back then. Nobody ever heard of it.

[@valeria262]

In the latter part of the cold war spy thriller age? Lol I doubt that very much

[@CribNotes]

@@valeria262 What I mean to say is if you found a suitcase full of money out in the desert in the early 80's, you would not expect it was being tracked - unless you're James Bond.

The fact that I relate to Anton's philosophy (if not chosen profession) is how I know I'm weird. "I got here the same way the coin did."

Chigurh getting hit by a car was a reference to what he said earlier: “If the rule you followed brought you to this, of what use was the rule?” He had a green light so he was following the rules.

[@valeria262]

So he shoulda blown all the red lights and got totaled way earlier?

[@absibrock]

Llewellyn Moss isn't the main character, it's a mistake that a lot of people make. The sheriff is the main character.

[@nsdocholiday]

Based on a Cormac mcarthy story, I highly recommend The road which is also from Cormac, His writing has been described as lyrical stream of consciousness and is one of the true modern american authors.

[@Whitebrowpriest]

I can see why you guys thought that Llewelyn was the main character of the movie. However, the actual main character of this movie was the police chief, Ed Tom Bell (played by Tommy Lee Jones). You're not alone, not too many people got that. But don't you remember how the movie started off with Ed telling one of his cop stories that happened along his career as a police officer? And he also told other stories along the way of the movie. This whole scenario that played out in this movie (with Llewelyn Moss) was just for us (the viewing audience) to see yet another sad, horrible situation for Ed to add to his cache of cop stories. And being one of the worst right before he was gonna retire from the job. The movie began with one of his stories, and ended with Ellis telling him one, to remind him he's not the only one with bad stories, yet even after that, Ed still had a somber story to tell his wife. The often harsh life of a police officer. If you watch this movie again, carefully, you will see how the movie was really about Ed, even though much of the screenplay followed the actions of Llewelyn and Chigurh. Oh, P.S.: The reason why they didn't show Llewelyn getting killed on screen, but showed Ed driving up to the aftermath of him getting murdered by the Mexicans was another way of subtly letting you know that the film was about Ed. Just so you know.

Javier Bardem scared the &!*# out of me! He is SUCH a nice guy, although I had a hard time watching him in ANYTHING after seeing this film! The Sheriff, Tommy Lee Jones, is one of the best actors on the planet. He has been in SO many films!!! Love him. You should see him in Coal Miner's Daughter with Sissy Spacek playing Loretta Lynn (He's Dolittle Lynn).
