The whole point of the movie is to be a certain anti-western. The hero dies offscreen unceremoniously, the sheriff gives up and never catches the villain, the most sympathetic character in the movie gets murdered and the most evil one walks off into the sunset. The reason for this is because it's pointing out how old people in each era always look at the past through rose colored glasses. The truth is the world has never been kind and just nor has it been evil. It's all just kind of chaos and it's largely out of our hands.
Well said.
Interesting take. And unlike the anti-hero protagonists of the spaghetti westerns, post-spaghetti westerns, and other anti-Hero protagonists, we do not and cannot form a connection with him. There’s no redeeming qualities that hook us, that invite empathy and identification.
I think you’re not quite right about the “whole point”. The “anti-western” structure is structure. It’s a mirrored structure of the western like you’re saying, but the structure is supporting the themes, not the theme of the movie.
The themes are so deep that comment or reply won’t do them justice. And to be honest, I’m still wresting with theme. I thought I understood the themes, but this reaction got me thinking about them again.
Just the same, I bet you (johnrussell) wouldn’t have any problem summarizing them more explicitly than you already have. Or don’t. I’m not telling you what to do. 😊
Awesome take on this movie! Thanks! I’ve always loved it but never quite knew why - and I can never reconcile the Raising Arizona direct quotes and Easter eggs in this one… anyway, …
More generally, I looked it as more contrasting the chance and tragedies of real life versus people thinking they're the heroes of their own lives. Lewellyn cares about others enough to bring water to a dying man but he assumes he can kill an evil man but ends up dying. Good people can die of unforeseen circumstances like the mom with cancer or running across a car in need of help on the road and being killed by a psychopath instead.
@@Scary__fun Good point. I'm an atheist, but I don't hate religion the way the a lot of atheists do. Still, I get really annoyed when things work out for people and they take it as evidence that God was looking out for them for their righteousness. It's so anecdotal. When you look at pain and pleasure on the scale of which all of humanity has experienced it and who it all has been meted out to there doesn't seem to be any rhyme or reason.
Love this movie. My favorite line is when Ellis says to Ed Tom that "it all ain't waiting on you. Thats vanity".
One of my favorite quotes in the movie... “All the time you spend tryin to get back what's been took from you there's more goin out the door. After a while you just try and get a tourniquet on it.”
Barry Corbin, that's a good one, with the cats and the week old coffee, also.. " you can't stop what's comin'. It ain't all waitin' on you."
2007 is one of the most impressive years of American cinema over the past 20 years. This film, Andrew Dominik's 'The Assassination of Jesse James,' and of course Paul Thomas Anderson's masterwork 'There Will Be Blood' are three of the finest pieces of cinema you're bound to watch ❤
AofJJ is fantastic.
@@YoureMrLebowski Absolutely! The telling of the story and cinematography is captivating, even if westerns aren't your thing.
Both phenomenal. The Jesse James movie may be my favorite western of all time. I think a lot of people have never even seen it.
the movie of the decade is the wrestler
Michael Clayton also came out in 2007. Excellent movie. I'm not sure I'd put it equal with No Country or There Will Be Blood, but it's awfully close.
An amazing film. From the casting and dialogue, to every frame of camerawork and lighting. It's as though it was painted and not photographed. That the story is so real and doesn't have a "Hollywood ending" just makes it all the better.
There Will Be Blood is my favorite of these two thematic siblings, but this film is just another example of the Joel and Ethan Coen's brilliance.
The source material, of course, came from the brilliant writer, Cormac McCarthy. That's why the dialogue has that poetic element to it. RIP Mr. McCarthy.
2:56 "he said hold still just like what the guy said." -Ryl
good catch. i missed that myself.
I love how this movie doesn't have any music and it doesn't matter, great movie
Once you realize that you sit back and say "Ohhhhhhh..."
This is set in 1980. There would be no reason for him to think there was a tracker in the money. This is before the tech revolution. Nobody thought like that back then.
You girls are my favorite. Authentic and funny. Ive been watching you for a while, just wanted to stop to say keep up the good work.
The device used in the movie by the assassin is technically not a gun. It's called a captive bolt stunner, under pressure it ejects a metal rod which then retracts. It's used to kill cattle.
AKA it kills farm animals fast!
It's just called a bolt gun in Australia I own one
Anton sees people as cattle. And he's the butcher.
The actress who plays Carla Jean is actually Irish. She nails the West Texas accent.
She's Scottish
@@alififali My bad. Thanks for the correction.
She was also very good in Trainspotting.
She's scotish but she played an irish in Boardwalk Empire.
Javier Bardem killed it in this movie (literally). He is such a good actor. Also, at the very least we all now know to check for a tracker device if we ever find a random bag of money.
This movie is a masterpiece fun fact- none of the 3 mains are ever in the same shot together.
The Coen Brothers who did this film make cool movies. A lot of dark humor. In fact while they were filming this they were working on the script for their next movie which is one of my favorites. Burn After Reading. You two need to watch it.
My favorite living directors for sure. Most of their movies are brilliant.
12:18 "there's something about milk." -Ryl 🥛😈
their next reaction is Inglourious Basterds.
freaky 🤯🤯🤯🤯
Honestly, this is one of the most insightful reactions to this movie that I've ever seen. I LOVE "No Country" and you two picked up on things that I had to watch several times to understand. Kudos to both of you!
8:53 "and this freaking hair." -Jyn
FINALLY!!  I didn't think you would ever mention his hair. that's the craziest thing about him.
Ha ha! Javier Bardem joked about it in an interview, complaining that he could not get close to getting laid the entire filming. It was taken from a 70's Playboy fashion section by the way, lol.
the gas weapon is called a captive bolt stunner its what they use too kill Cattle on farms. such a unique weapon for a killer in the movie
2:33 "Aaah!" -Jyn
i think that's the loudest i've ever heard Jyn scream. 😮😆
The story is from the perspective of the Sheriff. He is the narrator. It's how he feels time, for his kind, has passed him by. All that he thought was logical, and fair about life, isn't..He is overwhelmed by senseless violence, and feel's powerless in the face of it all..That's why the ending is perfect...Some stories shouldn't end tied up with a pretty bow wrapped around it. We all know that's not how actual life happens, most times.
Did you guys notice this movie had no music.
I really like the way y'all bounce ideas back and forth til you come up with solid theories and explanations.
Such a beautifully crafted film where every scene and action - no matter how small and mundane - somehow becomes riveting to watch. I want to say so much more, but I will stick to two random things that made me smile: First, the early dog talk was exactly what my mind was thinking when I initially watched this movie, haha. And second... Jyn with the hair up is better than Jyn with the hair down. Just the personal aesthetic preference of another soul living on a different part of this planet. :) Always great reactions from you guys. I hope you keep going.
Crazy when you said "empty vessel" cuz that's exactly the term they used to describe another serial killer, in the movie The Third Murder. Both that killer and Anton are antisocial
The missing floor Woody is referring to is the 13th floor I'd assume. Old superstitions and all that. Great reaction.
If there's a "winner" in this movie it's probably Sheriff Bell, who was wise enough to retire when he realized the world had moved on beyond his ability to contend with it. Anton doesn't really win because Anton isn't about winning or losing. His principles are beyond that kind of idea. He's more of a universal force, a personification of Death who carries out the whims of fate. People cross his path, by chance, meet his gaze, by chance, and die, by chance. The most he can do, if he has any sympathy for them, is to give them an extra chance in the coin flip, which is one of the principles he follows. He gets the money, but like Carson says, the money's not important to him. He never even uses any money in the movie except when he gives some to the kid at the end for his shirt. Winning doesn't come into it, he just performs his function.
I'd agree with Anton being an agent death and chance... until the very end where chance also impacts him, literally, with the car crash. So, he thinks he is an agent of death but as Llewellyn's wife says, it isn't the coin (signifying chance) that is bringing death, it's him that's deciding to do it. That's what makes the story so great, it makes you think about deep questions of life and death.
Good review ladies🙂👍
LOVE this movie.
Probably the Coen's best movie.
Anton was ruthless, but he did stick to his rules.
The lesson I took out of this movie:
You stumble upon a scene where there's lots of money, drugs and dead people...call the cops.
And I don't know why but I always tear up at the end listening to Tommy Lee Jones telling his wife about his dream about his father.
God, I love this movie.
Incredible book by an incredible writer brought to cinema by incredible directors and actors.
In Cormac McCarthy's Blood Meridian, there's a scene with analogous tension to the dog pursuit of Llewelyn. Comanche are the doing the pursuing in that story. (No Country for Old Men is a Cormac McCarthy novel.)
Jyn like, "This whole movie...why?!?!?" 😂. Cause shit is real in the field, my sweets...I hear ya though.
Surprisingly the movie follows the book pretty closely
I'm a vegetarian but when I was young I worked in a meat factory. Every time people watch this I'm shocked that no one knows what a bolt gun is and does.
I moved to dense urban after my rural upbringing and still forget that most people wouldn't know about this tool.
Most people never slaughter an animal nor harvest a vegetable.
I knew exactly what it was, I eat meat :)
@@MitchClement-il6iq Yes, but do you slaughter your own animals using a bolt gun? The vast majority of people eat meat, of course. But most won't know what that device is.
ive lived in East TN all my 37 years & I've heard & experienced many a "country" nuance, but i had ZERO idea seeing this either 🤷🏻♀️ wild.
Fargo is a great movie made by the same guys
About the realities and unpredictable nature of life. The uncertainty. Choices mixed with random events. Very simply put. Great reaction ladies.
theres not many post 2000 movies ill watch reactions to, but thats definately one of them
I love tgat this movie calls vanity to anyone who things back in the days things were better and today is worse. It is vanity to think like that.
One of my top 10 favorite movies of all times and my list is top tier.
Crazy good film selection on this channel.....top quality..just having my milk and watching😊
When Woody Harrellson was asking about the "missing floor" in the bldg, he was just being sarcastic. The majority of high rise buildings don't number the 13th floor because 13 is a superstition of being an Unlucky Number. Great reaction by you Two Cuties! 🥴🤔🥰❤️🤣
The missing floor is because one of the floors in the building is being used for the drug business. It was Carson's way of letting the other guy know that he knows what's going on there. The book has a bit more detail on it.
@@wufners ohh ok. It went straight over my head! Lol. Thanks for clarifying. After all these years. Lol. Makes sense. 🤔🥴🤫🤣
You ladies are some of the sharpest and most fun reactors. Plus, you actually watch the movies and pick good spots to comment.
Anton is the personification of Fate. He's generous with the coin toss, giving people the opportunity to change it. Moss represents Chance, it was by this he found the money etc. Sheriff Bell represents Order, but when Chance meets Fate, he feels "overmatched," he has no choice but to bow out, hence No Country For Old Men. Ps. Heads on the coin toss is always right cuz the point is if you use your HEAD, you won't end up on the TAIL end of the barrel.
This story take place in the 70s... tracking devices were not used a lot back then.
80's.
@@TheBuckMuscles Yeah 1980 to be precise 😅
This is my favorite killer movie EVER! The fear, the coldness, and every other feeling I feel watch this killer is just. Chefs kiss
and also idk how common or well known trackers and such are at the time. so its impressive to me that he figured that out or was curious enough to look
Also no movie soundtrack!
@@MitchClement-il6iq I totally forgot about that.... Like the movie is so seemless, so stressful, so captivating and well made that I forgot again that there is no music. 1000000/10 movie
Most people don't get it, the story is about *"The Sheriff"* that's why the movie starts and ends with him. The title says it all *No Country for Old Men* its set around 1980, when the Drug Wars started, the Mexican Cartels and their American counterparts were in turf wars so to speak. Killings skyrocketed on those small Texas Border towns. That why it end with him *retiring* it was no place (country) for old lawmen, who most never had to shoot their guns. That is why Tommy Lee Jones is the main character.
I remember seeing this. It became one of my favorite movies. Later, I read the novel it was based on, too.
The story, though fictitious, is based on the US-Mexico drug trade that reached a high peak in 1980 (and still continues today). It resulted in lots of organized crime (around the US border states: Texas (depicted in the film), and also New Mexico, Arizona, and California (where I live now today)). Today, since the 80s, those 4 states remain the highest in level of drugtrafficking and organized crime.
This movie is based on a book of the same name by Cormac McCarthy, a fantastic author. One of his other novels, "Blood Meridian", *is* in fact based on a true story, features a villain (Judge Holden) who (probably) actually existed and has been referred to as "Anton Chigurh at proper scale". Give it a read (J/K, it's absolutely terrifying; approach w/ caution).
The device used by Chigurh is usually used to kill cattle. The lack of sound means that it won't startle the whole herd if you kill one, there's no bullet fragments to dig out of the head, and it's (in aggregate) much safer to use than a gun. Previously, farmers used to use a large hammer to knock the cows in the head, which is comparatively time & labor intensive. Mike Hanlon uses a similar device as a kid in "IT".
I think you guys have reacted to "The Goonies" but if you haven't you should. Anyway the lead actor running from the physico is Josh Brolin who played the older brother in the Goonies. His father is James Brolin, an old time actor. 🥰🤣❤️🤫🥴
25:48 the simultaneous turning of the heads... 🤌🏽
One of my all time favorite films. Anton Chigurh is such a chilling character.
Llewelyn Moss is also Thanos from the Avengers. This was a long time before then tho.
Over the years this has become my favorite movie. Some small details. There is no soundtrack\music. Not during the opening, not during the movie and not during the credits. It gives the movie an intimacy without us being manipulated by a soundtrack. Another thing, the opening shots there are long, lingering shots of barren landscapes - very similar to the opening shots of Stanly Kubricks 2001: A Space Odyssey. I compared them once, think they are both 7-8 shots and roughly the same length.
This is a horror movie, but not because of the guy with the bad haircut. The only real conversations are the three with the main character, the sheriff (the old man). The sheriff with the other sheriff "once we stop saying ma'am or sir, the rest follows", the sheriff with his friend "what you got ain't anything new", and his two dreams at the end. The first dream was about "losing some money" a single short sentence that dismisses the entire movie you just watched. The second about his father going ahead, making things better. Then he woke up. It's the realization there is no 'progress'. Things will never get better because of human nature.
This movie had no music. It really helped the realism. Great movie.
Cormac McCarthy wrote the book based on the movie. His book "Blood Meridian" is a tough read.
Josh brolin , his dad was in the amityville horror movie first one 1979!
I love it....'they chose that life'....(in reference to feeling empathy to the dead dog and not dead humans)
Love your "Thrasher" shirt!
And this why linked -behind the back hand cuffs were invented! I can get out of chain hand cuffs, but not solid linked ones!
32:01 "no. no. the answer is no." -Ryl 😆
Chigurh sums up the theme of the film before he murders Carson: “If the rule you followed brought you to this, what use was the rule?”
In the pursuit of the money, every character killed was following some “rule” or code of ethics. Chigurh followed none of them, so he always had the advantage over his adversaries.
You would love reading the Cormac McCarthy novel of the same name. This screenplay is one the best adaptations for film I can think of.
I also love that Antoine Shugar or however you spelt it won. I find it a fascinating movie with great acting. I agree that him taking the money and THEN going back was dumb. but I love the realness and brutality but also the body language and conversations soooooo much
Another perfect react that I can't thumbs up (see my Rocky comment). I've seen most reacts to Old Men, and yours is the the only one that almost got it.. You are AWSOME reactors, and your editor is the best.
The old man at the end is Lewelyn's uncle.
No, he's Sheriff Ed Tom Bell's uncle.
“And then I woke up…”
If you enjoyed Carson, you should check out True Detective. The same actor (Woody Harrelson) is partnered with Matthew McConaughey to try to solve a series of brutal murders in Louisiana
glad u gals finally got to see this one!!! its in my top best films ever !! and not because this film is based on my home town lol !! just the small details of the movie i love ...like the motel scene is so well done !!! u girls have the best reaction to this film !!!
8:07 "that poor dog though. damn." -Jyn
that dog chose that life.
No dog chooses their owners.... NONE!
This movie won Best Picture in a tough year. Atonement was also based on a fantastic novel, and has one of the best endings ever filmed. But No Country For Old Men is a masterpiece from the Coen Bros who have made a series of film classics from Fargo to The Big Lebowski to O Brother Where Art Thou (3 films in a row), No Country, a remake of True Grit that is far better than the John Wayne version, and closer to the book. I would actually recommend you try True Grit, it's more of a straight forward story of vengeance in the Old West.
One of my favorite things about this film is that the three main characters never share a scene together apart from Sheriff Bell arriving too late to speak to Llewellyn, and Anton and Llewellyn shooting at each other, but never seeing each other's face. What other movie could ever even attempt something like that. Also, it took me seeing it in the theater on the fourth time before I noticed there is almost no music, just the mariachi band playing over a wounded Llewellyn in a truly twistedly funny scene. The Coen Bros are the best filmmakers of the last 40 years. You should check out more of their films. Blood Simple is similar in tone to No Country, and was their first film in 1984. Raising Arizona in 1987 is a screwball comedy with the greatest opening scene in film history, an 11 minute setup for the entire movie, including three robberies, a meet cute, three jail sentences, a fertility struggle, and a kidnapping plot involving an officer of the law, twice decorated. They followed that with the gangster film Miller's Crossing and the surreal Barton Fink. That's plenty to start with. Great reaction, it's not the easiest movie to follow, and intentionally so, like a novel, and good commentary!
Along with probably all the John Grisham stories, No Country For Old Men is the most faithful adaptation of a book into a movie I've seen.
The satchel is the same one from Fargo …. ❤ from NM USA
Love ya but I'm LMAO at your reactions to the end 😂😂😂😂
Best reaction to this movie. 😂
Your reaction are awesome, girls. Incredible how much you pick up along the way.
This movie is a masterpiece and perfectly depicts the randomness of life, beyond good and evil.
Shit happens, that's all.
The land lady, he respected her. It's difficult to explain
she stood on business....he could relate (which i presume he probably NEVER experiences)
It's a Coen brothers movie. They're like saints to cinema lovers. Not everything they've made is great, but there's a big bunch if you want more. Also comedies.
...the randomness of violence...the arrogance of greed...the illusion of self-confidence...the indifference of evil...
Recommendation: "Hell or High Water"
19:10 - Many buildings will not include a 13th floor (out of superstition and tradition). So if you count the floors from the outside, there may be 18, but the elevator will go to 19. Thus the weird dialogue.
theres also probably an unlisted thirteen floor where they do drug processing or money laundering stuff
There is no closure to this movie.
"You want to know what this movie is about?" Flips a coin into the air, "Call it!"
27:33 "ohhhhh, the psychopath is behind you!" -Jyn 😮
The weapon is called "captive bolt pistol" (or gun), there is no projectile, it works like a gas powered piston. It is used at slaugherhouses to stun (or kill) the cattle for slaughter. It ejects a piston at very high speed, but the "projectile" doesn't leave the gun.
The great thing about this movie is that it doesn't give you what you expect (seeing the main character die, knowing what happens to anyone, not being sure if Anton killed the wife) but it gives you things you didn't know you needed.
Obra maestra, sin necesidad de tener música de fondo, la tensión es magistral, y Javier Bardem interpreta a uno de los mejores villanos de la historia del cine.
You both realized the whole movie had no music? Great film. If you both like this you might like True detective.
27:57 "he knows!" -Ryl 😄
you guys might know this but Llewelyn Moss (Josh Brolin) is also Thanos in the MCU
Before GPS, the only tracking devices were magnetic and very inaccurate unless you could also track the sky with a sextant. Thus, Columbus got lost a lot!
Anton was setting in his car when the sherrif was in the motel room. It's in the book.
Is he a cop? A bounty hunter? He's a Texan.
Always glad to see you guys have a new video up. You ever seen RUDY ?
And he took those guns because they are sweet guns lol.
ill go back and give you a virtual agua hug
The pneumatic ram is used to kill live stock (animals.) We are also animals and it works the exact same way! It is like a bullet, but it relies on air pressure and this explains the positively compressed air tank. What separates it from any gun is that it always uses the same rod and requires no bullets or gun powder. However, I do not think it was ever used in a murder (outside of this movie!)
This is what real cinema can be, far away from the usual Hollywood trash.
One of the best movies ever. Also this is set in. 1980 so there wasnt much investigation of whose gun fired what bullet, etc.
19:22 buildings with more than 15 floors ...on the elevator it never shows the an option for 13th floor .
The book was outstanding, ladies (in the book, there is no physical description of Chigurh leading some to think that he was just a "phantom".......the author disagreed)........and the "why?" for so much of the movie?........I guess life doesn't owe us an explanation. We just have to figure it out............another outstanding reaction........thanks for sharing.
When I think of many of the lines from the sheriff (Tommy Lee Jones), and the overall message of the movie, I think of the hour about a series on the 1970s. CNN did a multi-part series on the '70s. This was around 2014 i think, one episode was called "Crimes and Cults", even had a story about a guy in Texas (I think near Houston or that part of the state) in the early 70s that had an older teen boy lure other teen boys to his place, the middle age guy tortured, raped , killed over 20 boys, in the early 70s. Starting with the Zodiac killer, Tate-Labianca murders etc in the late 60s, the next 10-12 years saw a huge rise senseless murders, and more serial killers. Psychopaths. Leopold and Loeb, Charlie Starkweather, the Clutter family(In Cold Blood), these things happened before the late 60s but were much more rare. One of the points this hour made was from the late 60s, over the next 10 years we saw skyrocketing rates of these senseless murders, serial killers etc that are just gonna be observed as evidence of pure evil by some of us. To someone the age of those 2 sheriffs having coffee, thinking about it on a macro level, them knowing about many of the crimes of the last 10-12 years (in real life, as it happened in the U.S.) it must've seemed to them that much of the world has lost it's mind, or is simply bloodthirsty, or just plain evil now, like the kid he describes at the beginning, he'd do it again, just wants to kill, no reason given..........don't be deceived, (like it says in Ephesians) it wasn't always like this, true they existed, but few and far between, not like the last 55 years, people used to hitchhike (Once Upon A Time In Hollywood) they still did in the '80s when I was growing up. Both the hitchhiker and the driver must have a death wish to do something that stupid now, there is no shortage of psychopaths nowadays who want to see someone suffer. I had paper routes from age 6 to 14, we knew people like John Joubert existed even in an area where I grew up......get eyes in the back of your head 24/7 or else
The moral of this movie is when you find a bag of money check for a tracker.
Pretty sure the tool he used to kill at the beginning was made to punch holes into cattle to bleed them out.
