I realy liked the scene where the kid did not wanted to take Antons money and Anton just started to repeat himself cause his worldview could get chalanged by such a simple act of kindness. Even if those kids got corrupted at the end, I realy liked that.
@oldworldpatriot8920 Жыл бұрын
If the kids had flat out refused no matter what,he would’ve killed them. It was part of the rules to him,if they took the money,they wouldn’t tell the cops where he went. If they refused,they clearly have a mindset that makes it easier to conclude they would tell the cops his position. It was a brief,almost once in Anton’s lifetime occurrence that he showed he didn’t want to kill two children. He would’ve if he had to,but he risked losing valuable escape time to try to make them understand that it was in their best interest to take the money and prove to him that they could be spared. Anonymity is his priority,he kills anyone who acknowledges his existence and fails his games of chance. In a way,his insistence that they take the cash was a game of chance for their lives too. But one game he didn’t want them to lose.

Anton was a character that could only exist in the 80’s (and maybe early 90’s) before cameras were literally everywhere. That’s why a lot of the infamous serial killers from the 60’s & 70’s like Ted Bundy & John Wayne Gacy were so prolific & violent, these days it’s much harder to get away without being caught.

Having Carla Jean refuse the coin toss in the movie was such a brilliant decision it blows my mind. It completely changes your perception of the ending of this story and of Carla Jean and Chigur as characters.
@SteveIsHavingMC11 ай бұрын
What i really like about the movie is how anton chigurh, a person who considers themselves an agent of fate and decides the life of people of innocents with a coin toss (thus putting it up to fate to decide whether they live or not), ends up being taken out by a random event. However, it isnt as random as it seems. "If the rule you followed brought you here, of what use was the rule?" is his defining aspect, and at the end of the movie, when he visits, carla, she is the only person who refuses to call the coin for him, something completely unprecedented. By rejecting fate in this manner, and by extension breaking the rule he follows, she removes anton's invincibility, either by making him so distraught he did not notice the car on a collision course towards him, or by forcing fate's hand to take action against the man whose rule was rendered useless.

I was an ER/Trauma RN almost 40 years (now retired) and my husband was a police officer, so we pretty much “saw it all” together in the fields and in the ER......but Bardem played this part so masterfully, we could actually recognize some of our more “psychologically broken”patients in his character! We purchased the movie on DVD and watched it together over goodies and snacks on rainy evenings. I haven’t watched it since my husband Went Home, but in my opinion, it’s one of the best films made.

How does a movie project fear? Fear is feeling inside your mind as a reaction to a current or coming situation. A movie can only show, present what the people are doing. It doesn't force anything into you (project). If someone doesn't understand fear, they won't know it by watching the movie either. It's one of the best representations of intelligence, and what a psycho is..and is very good as a psychological movie as was Silence of the Lambs. I wasn't 'scared' as I watched the Gas Station scene, I knew what was happening and what the outcome could have been and since I followed the movie's plot very well, yeah, it wasn't scary - but illuminating contrast between the characters. The movie touches on many aspects of life, thinking, and non-thinking.

It looks like Fact #21 is a bit of a stretch or wrong when reading the text of the novel. According to the book, Wells takes the elevator to the 17th floor to talk to the Stephen Root character. The text that they show in this video is the discussion just before the missing floor discussion. Wells is asking about the elevator that he just used. He asks if he could come back up using that elevator, and the Root character says "Not to this floor" and then explains the security measure that Wells had to use on his way up: "it recodes itself after every trip. A randomly generated five digit number. It doesn't print out anywhere. I dial a number and it reads the code back over the phone. I give it to you and you punch it in. Then Wells says that he counted the floors. So Wells would have had to push an elevator button for 17 (or maybe the button doesn't have a number) and then the code, so the 17th floor is not the missing floor since Root is on it. As others say, it's likely the 13th floor that is the one missing. A whole novel analysis I found says that since Wells doesn't believe in luck, so he's oblivious to the superstition that 13 is unlucky. I'll have to take their word for it. In the movie, Wells does say, "I can't say that charm has had a lot to do with it [his life]" , so that might be an indication that Wells doesn't believe in luck.

One of my personal top tens, for sure. Like Goodfellas, if it comes on, you can just start watching at any point and be immediately engrossed. One minor quibble, tho not with the movie. I really thought Tommy Lee Jones deserved the supporting Oscar. It does seem that Oscar judges seem to favor roles that include personal transformation, via makeup or personality. Underplayed roles like TLJ's don't get the same attention, and his performance was so understated but note perfect. In the scene where Carla Jean shows up at the hotel after Llewellyn is killed, he just slumps his shoulders and takes off his hat w/o saying a word. She knew.

Okay, I have to chime in on this one. I got to meet Tommy Lee Jones at an air-show once and only a few of us recognized him. I want say he was all that friendly and gracious, but then again, I didn't expect him to be. With that said, he is one of our finest actors and that's really all that matters. He simply here to entertain me and that's about it. This film was probably one of the best movies ever made and as far as that goes, so was There Will be Blood. I have seen both movies several times and it's hard to determine which is better, because they are so different in nature. The acting in both movies is superb. The first time I saw NCFOM, I was sort of "on edge and nervous," during most of the film, which is rare for me..........so it did it's job.
