No Country for Old Men (2007) ♦Movie Reaction♦ First Time Watching!

[@6eostorm]

Funny story: About 8 years ago we went on vacation to San Antonio Texas and we saw Tommy Lee Jones at The Alamo with no security, just another guy sightseeing with his family. I came up to him and I froze and said... “I loved you as Two-Face in Batman Forever” 🤦🏽‍♂️ He looked at me crazy and said… “I think you the only one I ever heard say that to me.” Awesome dude! 😅

[@natel7151]

It's an interesting way to frame Ed Tom Bell, as a civilized man holding back the darkness, versus Anton Chigurh. Yes, the dream is about his father, going ahead into the darkness to light the fire... but it's also about him, and men like him, riding into the cold and keeping the fire lit for us. (A representation of the fragile yet hopeful state of civilization against all that darkness.) You have a similar theme in Cormac McCarthy's "The Road", with a lot of talk between the father & son, and carrying the fire.

LMAO! Whim, this is the VERY FIRST time I have seen a reactor hate a character so much that she needed a poem to express it! Javier Bardem deserved (my opinion) an Oscar for his performance. His way of generating dread and tension in an innocuous conversation is dramatic gold. And think about this: All he had to do was check the soles of his shoes and you just KNEW that Carla Jean was dead. And I just loved it when on the phone, Llewellen asks Chigur if Carson is there and he answers "Not in the sense that you mean". Loved it! Great reaction!

[@baronvg]

The constant uncomfortableness of Whimsory with Anton Chigurh was HILARIOUS. Top notch post film commentary by Whimsory that I come to expect. Chigurh’s hair is as memorable as his character and I realized after all these years that I had the same hair cut when I was a kid around the same time (early 80s) 😂

[@stevieb3077]

My favorite funny line is when Llewellyn phones and asks if Carson is there and Shigurh responds, "Not in the way you mean."

[@SJOrr]

If you ever do TV, True Detective with Woody and Matthew M. is a must watch.

[@MarcosElMalo2]

Another tale with deep moral and philosophical underpinnings. We generally think that in movies where the heroes’ lives are in the balance and theory survival is in doubt are as high stakes as you can get, but there are higher stakes games: the struggle to understand one’s true self, the challenge of maintaining one’s true self as one struggles to survive in this cruel world, and what happens when one’s idea of oneself turns out to be incorrect. Morality isn’t about 2-dimensional good vs evil. It’s about how we define ourselves by our choices, decisions, and actions as we make our way in this fallen world. In True Detective (season 1) we do have a great evil shrouded in mystery that the main characters are trying to defeat. But the real soul of the story is about the morality of the two main characters, and how they struggle within themselves to define themselves. If what I just wrote meant anything to you, you should definitely see Fallout. It’s a deeply moral tale hidden in a scifi action story. The best storytelling isn’t about life and death, the best storytelling is about the human soul.

[@crimeforadime]

Anton Chigurh is considered one of the best portrayals of a psychopath "Of over 120 movie psychopaths observed, psychiatrists have deduced that the most by far realistic portrayal of a psychopath is Javier Bardem's portrayal as the cold and calculating Anton Chigurh in No Country For Old Men"

[@charlize1253]

A true sociopath is someone who doesn't feel emotions but is trying to pretend that he does by mimicking how other people behave in order to get what he wants from them, but because it's not genuine, it's slightly off. Javier Bardem nails it.

[@bloodieddeadman6.1.65]

​@charlize1253 Not to be one of those people but sociopaths aren't emotionless. Sociopaths(factor 2 psychopaths) are more hotheaded and impulsive. Psychopaths (factor 1s) are the ones that run cold but they can still feel emotions(except love, empathy , remorse and anxiety).

People always talk about wanting Morgan Freeman to narrate their life...I could literally listen to Tommy Lee Jones talk about what ever the hell he wanted to for hours. The ending to this movie, him talking about his dream, makes this whole movie worth watching (and it's a good movie, don't get me wrong...although it did piss me off a bit that Llewelyn died), and I'm not even sure why, the tone, the cadence, the weird southern drawl...all if it, im not sure. But I would listen.

[@natel7151]

As I recall, he's from that part of Texas, where the story is set... so it's the natural accent for the part of the world that his character inhabits. Just about perfect casting all around for the movie. Everything felt so natural, in what seems like an American-style fairy tale.

In the book we got some more context about Llewellyn's death. He had a standoff with the Cartel guys and they got the girl hostage. They offered letting her go if Llewellyn dropped his gun. He dropped it. Then they shot the girl, and shot Llewellyn. We hear this from a witness. I love this movie, I think my favourite line is a weird one; "You can't stop what's coming"

[@liberator8858]

Chigurh is a real individual. he lives by his own rules and thinks from the point of view of his worldview, he is a person, unique and individual. he sees the people around him as a HERD, following the same rules, goals and even thoughts and desires. That's why he has no regrets for them

Your reaction format is great, but what makes it work so well is what you bring to it. Thoughtful and refreshing.

[@GroovingPict]

the fact that Moss went back with the water is actually what gave him a headstart on Chigur. Otherwise Moss wouldnt have any reason to think there would be someone looking for him specifically, because he didnt know about the tracker in the money. So then Chigur wouldve driven around with his transponder thingy, including to nearby trailer parks, and Moss wouldve been caught with his pants down rather than on high alert. It didnt matter in the end; he ended up dying anyway, but it did buy him a slightly extended life. A stress inducing and painful extension, but still.

[@nedcassley5169]

True. And Moss got a lot of other people murdered by trying to get away with stealing the money.

[@Theomite]

There's 2 things I don't get though: 1. How was he out hunting in the midday Texas sun with no water of his own? That's monumentally stupid. 2. He would've known as a veteran that giving someone with an open stomach wound water to drink would kill them rapidly. Yet these things don't change the story progression at all, despite the fact that they should.

[@nedcassley5169]

@Theomite Audiences act like audiences. Brolin's Moss appears to be a "good guy" and viewers fall readily and immediately into rooting for him. It doesn't occur to them to be critical of his choices, as stupid or unethical or immoral as they are.

[@Bruh-Moment435]

It's funny because Moss is punished for trying to do the right thing. Anton would later get the tracker, but if Moss never drove his truck back to help the man then his truck never would have been identified and Anton wouldn't have been able to track him properly

[@jackseditzzz]

This is one of those movies that was incredibly well done and that I never need to watch again. And that I wish I could unsee.

This movie is about 3 generations of people: old (cop), man of today (Moss), man of future (Anton). The first man playing a role of laggard, he always behind, he is literally cannot do anything with his "grandson" (scene in motel with miracle disappearance of Anton when he slipped out from under cops's nose ). The second doing his best, but cannot look ahead. The third one is "ubermensch". He doing his job like a robot without any mistakes (almost), very insightful and coldblooded. No country for old men.

Whimsory, they would've absolutely found Llewellyn if he didn't try to bring water to the survivor, there was a transponder in the satchel of money. Llewellyn only found the transponder only after the motel shooting. He was in bed thinking about how they tracked him to the motel, he started looking for the transponder only after they had to have had some way of tracking the money.

Written by the genius that is Cormac McCarthy: No Country for Old Men, All the Pretty Horses, The Crossing, Cities of the Plain, The Road-many of these are movies but you could do a lot worse than reading each of these novels. But my personal fav is "Blood Meridian or The Evening Redness in the West" still a genius work of literature.

[@MarcosElMalo2]

Blood Meridian and Cities of the Plain are tied as my favorites. McCarthy’s writing is like no other, and no one can write like him. I picked up a Spanish translation of Cities of the Plain, and was impressed by how well his writing translated into Spanish. Granted, it is a very good and careful translation, but it really thrilled me to see how his writer’s voice carried over into another language. I hope they never make an adaptation of Blood Meridian. It would ruin it. To even try is to demonstrate an overweening and petty vanity. (coughcough*jamesfranco). To do a movie adaptation of Blood Meridian totally misses the point of it.

Loved your reaction, as usual. In an interview, Bardem said he begged the Coen brothers to let him wear his hair differently but they knew you have to do something with an actor that handsome to make him seem more menacing. The Coen brothers are my favorite film makers, perhaps the best in the world right now. Their films have weight mixed dark humor.

Seeing your great reactions to this movie took a 2nd place to hearing your eloquently nerdy yapping about everything great you noticed. I become entranced in this movie, it is so unlike anything else in its pacing, sense of dread amidst nothing particularly sinister (especially for a movie so well lit and geographically beautiful), and its development of characters and story. I also love the parallel you make with Lou returning to the Mexican in the car with Anton returning to Carla at the end and how both of them suffer consequences for equal but opposite motivational reasons to do so. Finally, that poem needs to be printed on the front of the blu-ray for this movie. It's just an objectively good tagline!

I haven't bought an album in DECADES. But once I got lucky with that strategy of yours. I had never heard of the band Starcastle, but I was perusing the record racks at the local Target one day back in '76, when I came across their debut album. It had a cool looking castle in the clouds on the cover, so I took a chance. And I LOVED it! What a pleasant surprise! They were called the american YES. And I LOVED YES after borrowing my older sister's copy of "Fragile". That one kick-started my love of prog rock. YES had some cool looking covers too. And they backed it up with MASSIVE TALENT. Starcastle had a great 2nd album too, with another cool cover. Check 'em out sometime. But the music processors in your brain will be CHALLENGED. When it comes to great prog rock, there is A LOT going on. Elaborate note structures, with many shifts in tempo and tone. I think that's why country music has always been more popular. It's a lot less strain on the brain. 😂

Ooo, can't wait to watch. Whimsory: the Coen brother's usually direct quirky comedies, this is one of their few deadly serious ones.

One of my all time favorite movies. Love your breakdown/reaction. Thanks for sharing.

[@fishouttawtr]

Im literally shocked by the fact that almost no one reacts to the dear hunter! One of best most unforgettable films ever made! ...shocking!

I also just watched this movie again. For the fourth time. It's a masterpiece.

The award for best terminator goes to Anton Sugur for being the best since the original terminator- hands down. And he did it with a silly monkees haircut. The tool he used is called a cattle slayer. It’s a great door opener, and person slayer.

You're so genuine, Whimsory... Don't ever change !! 😄👍

[@dh728]

This is why you're my favorite reactor, Whimsory. Just wonderful. The Coen brothers have LOTS of great movies, including some that you won't find on that list you use. "Raising Arizona" to name one worth watching. But some probably are on that list: O Brother Where Art Thou, The Big Lebowski
