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.
Kelly MacDonald
Agree, I like her too. I love her line in T2 when she tells Renton that the girl he is with, "she's too young for you"
Boardwalk Empire!
@@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.
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.
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!" ?
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)
😂😂😂
"Imaging she had a button under her desk that made a flusher noise." You're hilarious.
It's like something a child would say.
This movie actually is a western. All of the elements are present.
Personally I think westerns require horses.
neo-Western is the term. Breaking Bad fits the genre.
There are plenty of horses, even figuratively.@@davemcbroom695
@@davemcbroom695 The sheriff and deputy ride horses in a few scenes. Another "western" element!
@@ianinkster2261 You explain to me how Breaking Bad can be a western. You do it right now. Just because 40% of the show happens in the desert and there's a plot about Mexican outlaws and fighting the local law enforcement and there's a bunch of shootouts doesn't make it, oh wait it might actually be a western...
This one is for you, Dawn Marie. Kelly McDonald, who plays Josh Brolin's wife, is from Glasgow. That's acting.
Immediately identifies with the sociopath.
Not surprised.
*psychopath
Watching your videos is guaranteed to make me laugh, Dawn Marie.
"Beer with benefits"
I never would have been able to put that situation into those words.
The air tank weapon is known as : a captive bolt pistol or a cattle gun . It is used in the beef industry by slaughterhouses in the United States to humanely euthanize cattle before processing them into meat. The compressed air drives forward a sharp spring loaded steel bolt from the grip/handle .
And beeves is the plural of beefs.
No music, the three main characters never acted a scene face to face, even the gunfight was in the dark at a distance. Parts are left unsaid and to your imagination.
One of the best written movies in years.
And...not one word of profanity.
There was a few
A lot of buildings in America don't have a 13th floor, it's an old superstition
Oh wow that would be disappointing, I always thought the observation meant that there was some huge secret hiding on a secret floor in the building.
It's not that it has more labels than floors (skipping 13, which is common), but that there are FEWER labels than floors, implying there is a hidden, non-public floor.
@@foilhattiest1have you seen Being John Malevich?
@@MarcosElMalo2 Ha, yes I have! Well Malkovich anyway ^^
All this time, I never considered that the reason behind this humerous dialogue, and I've been in plenty of building that go 12 to 14. I always just found it do be funny stuff from the Coen's, but that makes so much sense (and obvious).
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
It’s true to life, usually nothing ends in an epic showdown.
Same. I saw it and knew it was a great movie, but it took me another viewing to realize why.
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.
I thought it was stupid and after about 5-6 watches I still think it's about equally stupid.
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.
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.
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.
@@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
The tracker was in the bag, he would have been tracked down.
@@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.
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.
2:25 “I never stop for a police car. NEVER.” - Dawn Marie, outlaw
Don't worry Dawn - When you get caught, eventually, I will wait for your release or escape, whichever comes first. By the time you leave, I'll bet you'll have everyone in your whole cell block liking and subscribing.
My sister was stopped by a fake police officer. Terrifying. Luckily, she sensed the danger and drove off after he approached her car. Though he did not carry a captive built gun, he was definitely up to something evil.
"You're so frickin' cool. I like him. I like him a lot."
Won't even pay her bounties.
@@argentokaos2629Right?!
min 0:03 Who told you its not a western? 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!🥰🥰🥰
I think the point would be that this is superior to that kind of stereotypical Hollywood fabrication.
She probably meant not a western, in like the old or wild west sense of the word.
A modern day western/neo-western sure, but usually when people say "western movies" they're referring to something set in the late 1800s.
Lol you definitely don't snipe pronghorn in Orlando
Whoever told her this was not a Western lied. This might not take place in the 1800s but it 100% is a Western.
There are movies that not only bear a rewatch, but are better upon rewatching them. This is definitely one of those films.
Whenever someone asks me where I got something, I always reply “at the gettin place”.
that's just simply standard if Southern 😉.... EVERYBODY knows ya get everything at "the gettin place"
@@deadassdgaf100 Out here, we do somethin particular if our spouse is mouthin off.
@@NativeNewMexican What's that?
@@4Kandlez "You keep runnin' that mouth I'm gonna' take you in the back and..." is a quote from the movie that might remind you.
16:46 "I wonder where he gets his hair cut"
This was one of the biggest mysteries in that movie
I remember so many reviewers commenting on the hairstyle when it first came out; "sporting a _terrifying_ pageboy(!)," and the like 😆 ...Yeah, I agree, it's ugly af, but come on!
Javier Bardem is a chameleon-like actor. He is so gentle and vulnerable in "The Sea Inside." It is an amazing, heart-wrenching film.
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.
Yeah, forcing your way into a passing pick-up truck goes worse for the driver, in this case.
Possibly the best final line delivery ever…”And then I woke up.” - (cut to black / roll credits)
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.
If you want another fine "regional" movie by the Cohen Bothers, please watch "Fargo."
I prefer Fargo. I thought No Country was overrated and I love the Coen Bros.
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.
@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.
The point of the movie is to show how life is unpredictable, violent and deadly...as embodied by the character Shagur. Even he is subject to the chaos and randomness of life & death in the end.
the creepy guy (Anton Chigurh) is Javier Bardem (a Spanish actor) who was also a creep in the James Bond movie "Skyfall"....he is also married with the Spanish actress Penelope Cruz....
So either he's not really creepy, or else she's secretly related to the Addams family. ;)
Wikipedia defines No Country For Old Men as : an American neo-Western crime thriller film
As we all know wiki is garbage wn no one should take anything they put on the internet. Wiki is crap
"He should strap it to a pigeon" Dawn, honey, I don't think you'd be getting away with the 2 million. Just a hunch lmao.
When the trailer park manager refuses on principle to divulge information, Chigur spares her life because he respects her adherence to principle, for which he himself is a stickler. Had she wavered, he'd have done the coin thing.
Jack McCall killed Wild Bill.
@@Bothorthand WHY would THAT matter....what makes you think THAT would stop him from killing anyone?!
there's just as many scenes where he kills a room of at least 2 or more ppl together than scenes with him killing a single person.
us that how to spell "Sugar"?
he checked his boots for blood as he left - which means he killed her
Never before have people been so terrified of a haircut.
Long in the short places, short in the long places. It should be from both the future and the past. Something a child would do to a doll.
Lol watch Sam Spruell in Fargo season 5!
What about Richard Simmons?
It's what little boys with bowl cuts grow up to be if nothing gets in their way.
"Buster Brown" in Hell.
"I would just be on the toilet all the time. Having nervous poops."
Relatable.
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.
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.
Garret Dillahunt, who plays Wendell, also plays Jack McCall in Deadwood. That's where you know him from!
Don't remind her about that guy. Remember how gutted she was when Wild Bill was killed.... until she didn't really care about it a few episodes later. 😉
If you like a good comedy, watch him in "Raising Hope."
And he played Wolcott (Hearsts man) in season 2.
And John Dory!
@@keithrichman6918 And the leader of the baddie henchmen in the last season of Justified.
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".
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.
Dawn Marie about Chigurh..."i wonder where he gets his hair cut?" Lol. That's why I love watching her more than any other channel.
Hell or High Water...... is the next Modern Western Movie you need to watch!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Great film. That whole trilogy of films is amazing (the other two being Sicario and Wind River).
Or maybe "There Will Be Blood".
Your pigeon idea was brilliant. The airspeed velocity of a homing device laden homing pigeon is sufficient to fly far away. Much better than even an African swallow.
For my money, Javier Bardem's portrayal of Anton Chigurh is the most frightening screen villain of the last 50 years. And for the record, the Coen brothers insisted on that haircut to make him scarier. As for Tommy Lee Jones' character, his world is disappearing, the society he knew. "You can't change what's coming" which is why he needs to retire. It's no country for old men.
7:12 everyone: "we are extremly creeped out by Chigurh"
Marie: "I like him" *laughs manically*
The Templeton Eagles jacket he gets on the bridge was Josh Brolin's actual high school jacket
That is soooo cool,
Woody knew the briefcase was likely thrown over the fence because Llewelyn didnt have it in the hospital with him after he crossed the border. Took me a few times to figure that part out. I love this movie so much
Fun fact but Carla Jean is a Scottish actress.
Because of superstitions about the number 13 many buildings don't have a labeled 13th floor.
Because they were laundering money/making drugs, they were missing a floor button in the elevator, and Wells mentioned it to the accountant as a way of demonstrating his skills and knowledge.
I've heard that, but I'm old now and I've never once run across a building with a missing 13th floor.
“Beer with benefits” 😅 love it.
Fun Fact: Woody Harrelson's real dad was a hitman, and one of his cases is mentioned in this movie.
His father was involved in the JFK murder
There are some people that remain calm and cool under any situations ie) soldiers from elite military units , bodyguards / protective service agents etc etc
And psychopaths...
Dawn Marie: "I never stop for a police car."
Don't ever visit Arkansas.
Cool that you mentioned Raising Arizona - it's the same directors. Also did The Big Lebowski.
You should definitely check out more Coen brothers films: Fargo, The Hudsucker Proxy, Miller's Crossing, etc.
I second this. Keeping to the crime theme, Miller's Crossing, Fargo, Blood Simple and The Man Who Was Not There should be first on the list!
How can you forget Blood Simple?
@@JohnSmith-ys4nl the "etc" covers that lol, but yeah all of the above
This film is absolutely chilling. Javier Bardem has got to be one of the most intense villains. And the middle part is so suspenseful. By the way, you do a great southern accent! If you ever want to see another side of Javier, 'Vicky, Cristina, Barcelona' is excellent.
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.
@TE.LE.GRAMDawnMarieYT I won what? Like the nice cashier won? Is this a bot?
Have to remember that Moss was a Vietnam Vet so all that he goes through is probably almost like a boring day at the office for him, which would explain his rather calm demeanor throughout the movie.
Yet he can't manage to survive El Paso.
@@Hexon66 Yeah and you can blame on the Cohen brothers, who could have even made it a much better film... but for whatever reason decided to stick with this ending... never read the book but am assuming it was very much like that...?
Is it actually mentioned at any point in the movie for us to remember it?
@@sluglife9785 Woody Harrelson's character briefly talks with him about it at his bedside.
@@winstonmarlowe5254 The lawman at the border also asks Moss directly if he was in 'Nam and what unit he was in
Why are you so convinced it’s oxygen in that tank?
I mean, it is. It's compressed air, at least, maybe not pure oxygen.
@@aerthreepwood8021 *certainly not pure O2.
It’s gonna get a ‘BEST MOVIE EVER!’
Can you do Kelly McDonald's accent in the movie? She has yours in real life.
Hoping Dawn reads enough of these to realize Kelly Macdonald is Scottish. Sure adds to appreciating the voice acting performance
@@shotbybrady8793 And yet my first experience with her was in Boardwalk Empire where she played an Irish woman, she was captivating as always. ruclips.net/video/Wd7aXppS4Nw/видео.html
"We can't give out no information" I enjoyed you pointing out what the trailer park manager was actually saying by using a double negative.
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
Dawn Marie,
You did such a nice job editing this. I was hesitant about watching this as I've never seen this movie before. But with your editing skills and insightful commentary on full display, I was able to follow right along. Best Editor Ever!
-Thomas Hamilton, Southern California
The gas station scene is so great.
Anton Chigurh is the best villain in film history, in my humble opinion. Bardem's psychopath acting was perfect.
When I saw this in the theater, someone actually yelled "oh, come on!" when the credits came up.
"You need to find a John Wick doctor" LOL!!! "You should strap it to a pigeon" LOL!!! "I wonder where he gets his hair cut" LOL!!! 😂 Enjoyed your reaction!! If you want to see another fantastic Texas country crime movie, I highly recommend "Hell Or High Water"!!! Promise you will love it!!!! It has Jeff Bridges and Chris Pine!
This is such a great movie, I love watching how people who haven’t seen it react to it for the first time.
16:25 I don’t recall having seen you quite this shocked by something before.
You are also one of the few people that I’ve seen react to this movie who said that they would have taken the money out of the satchel and put it in a different bag.
The deputy towards the end while Bell is reading the paper is played by Garrett Dillahunt. He played the Jack McCall (the guy that shot Wild Bill Hickok) in Deadwood. He also plays another, different character in a later season of Deadwood. Which, by the way, you need to get after watching season 2!.
loooool I love that you went on about bees during *the* scene where Anton's oxygen tank thing finally got explained :'D
Fun reaction, fun personality (maybe also a bit dangerous!)
I’ve always loved this movie…But as a locksmith, the way he blows out locks is impossible. It always is something only I noticed. Haha
I was wondering about that. Seems like if it actually worked you'd see a lot more captive bolt pistols being used in break-ins.
Enjoying listening to Dawn do the accents.
Llewellyn is a Welsh name so Moss is of Welsh descent. In the novel he has a brother named Arthur. Back in Shakespeare's days Welsh characters were negatively stereotyped as being outlandishly stubborn. Also good call on Ant On Sugar's milk drinking being childish. In the novel Anton Chigurh swipes an orange soda too. Thanks for the Easter egg. Also don't be jealous of the Texas accents. Your own is sufficiently eccentric. Now go read "Blood Meridian".
I was a bit surprised she'd never heard that name before, with Wales not that far away.
british woman:
hasn’t heard of the name llewelyn
The large theme of this is randomness of life. The sheriffs dreams and even how some deaths are not shown
Lleweyln's wife, Carla Jean, is played by Scottish actress Kelly Macdonald who lives in Glasgow. Just does an excellent Texas accent. I couldn't believe it when I heard her in an interview.
The tank and mechanism is basically a form of Captive Bolt Pistol used for killing cattle for slaughter.
The book is by Cormac McCarthy. Same title. It is worth reading.
This deserved about a 50-minute reaction with more clips.
This is definitely a Western and a Thriller lol. It's also one of the finest films ever made no matter the genre. The more times you watch it the more you fall in love with it.
Cormac McCarthy (the guy who wrote this book) also wrote a book called "Blood Meridian" .... a story so diabolical that movie studios tried several times to adapt a screen play for a movie but had to change/cut so much they trash canned the whole thing
There's a film adaptation being written.
Dawn, you and your reactions are a treasure. So perceptive. And so funny - you crack me up. Very enjoyable.
You have some of the funniest comments on your movie reviews!! When guy said he should put that tracer device on a pigeon! Omg😂. Funny enough, that was the original scene and both men spent the rest of the film chasing a bird.
Holy hell, you can actually hear the silenced shotgun blast at 14:42. Ive seen this movie a million times and never caught that.
Your incredulous giggles cracked me up so many times watching this.
god damn Dawn Marie, your reactions are always freakin awesome!!!! Thank you for all your time and effort, it's definitely appreciated 😊😊😊
Having seen dozens of your reactions, I notice all the references to “pooping in my pants”. This one comes early at 4:35.
It's not necessarily a "traditional western" that takes place in the 1800s, but in some ways it's a "modern western" because it basically involves hitmen, bandits, a headstrong protagonist, a wise and cautious Sheriff, all of them chasing after a large sum of money, and it takes place in Texas.
Thriller is more accurate for sure, but it has a lot of western elements.
When I saw this in theaters, I was very disappointed at the ending, but I’ve grown to love it.
2:55 The pressurized air, pushes a bolt out at fast speed and makes a hole. It's used for killing cows.
Dawn, im surprised you never heard of Kelly McDonald who'd played Carla Jean as she is a Scottish actress. Living in Texas, Kelly in my opinion had one of the best Texas accents I have ever heard from acting.
My grandma RIP talked exactly like the 2 double beds lady 😆
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.
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.
@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!
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. 💙🥂
Nearly pissed myself when you started going on about bees 🤣🤣 Coen Bros always leave you wanting more - this gets better every time i see it. Thanks Dawn, that was great.
It's in West Texas, so it IS a 'Western', just a modern western. It's not "normal" for him - he's just keeping his cool. It's not Oxygen - it's just compressed air. He said "Beeves" (beefs).
I think it could be argued (successfully) that this film is a western; a modern western specifically. It also has some aspects of noir films.
This was the perfect movie for you to watch for this channel. Definitely one of your best so far 👍
i live and grew up in west Texas. This is exactly how everything and everyone looked back in the early 80s. hell we lived in a trailer that lloks axactly like moss trailer.
I love your reactions. I have never come across anyone else who, halfway through the movie, says "I like him" about Chigurh. I can always count on a different take on things here.
Another good modern western is "Hell or High Water (2016)" covering different sets of crooks. Please consider it Ma'am.
14:00 - The "missing floor" reference has to do with the fact that many older buildings skipped #13 on the elevator due to superstitions. In other words the floors jump from 12 to 14. Unfortunately, this joke goes over most peoples' heads.
One of my all time favorites...thank you for choosing so many great films and not just whats trending at the moment.
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.
9:46 😂😂😂"I would just be constantly on the toilet because I would have nervous poops"😂😂😂
