A group of psychiatrists watched 400 films with psychopaths/sociopaths over a 3 year period and everyone of them picked Anton as the best representation of a psychopath.
Because psychopaths perfectly represent otherworldly forces of nature.
psychiatrists?
The world as Chigurh sees is something he needs to impose some form of order on. He believes in rules, to the point that he can only let fate decide things so much before it starts to drive him mad.
Chigurh _is_ fate. Not that fate is a real thing. What Chigurh represents is life's random cruelty and indifference.
@@t0dd000fate... faith, what is real? How do you determine what is real and what is illusion? What you can see. What you can feel. If so then how do you know the wind is real? Or the sunlight or the darkness. Good, bad, or indifferent we are the sum total of our life's experiences. That is what is real.....
I think the ending shows how the Sheriff has fallen into nihilism. His father going ahead to make a light in all that dark is a metaphor for his father in the afterlife. "Then I woke up," is the epiphany he had that his father is not awaiting him in the afterlife. I think it's why he looks so sad after he says it. It shows how far his experiences have shattered his illusions and left him hopeless.
Dude needs to carry his own dang fire
@@svenpoletka5236Easier said than done...
It was the Mexicans who killed Llewelyn. You can hear the automatic rifle fire as Sheriff Bell approaches the motel, and you can see the killers racing away in a truck.
This movie subverts expectations in a number of ways. The protagonist dies off screen at the hands of someone other than the main antagonist. The story sets us up to expect a confrontation between Sheriff Bell and Anton Chigurh, but it doesn't happen. The villain isn't help accountable, although he is badly injured in an unexpected way. And the movie just sort of ends after Ed Tom Bell relates his dream. All of this shows how no one, even Chigurh, controls events.
The people that killed Llewellyn was the same group of Mexicans that chased him across the river with their dog. The Mexican drug gang was also looking for that money.
Jesse’s mom is Tommy Lee Jone’s wife
Definitely also recommend Paul Thomas Anderson's "There Will Be Blood" if you haven't seen it. It's very connected to "No Country" as "TWBB" was shot in the same area as No Country, at the same time, and nominated alongside it for Best Picture at the Oscars. Brilliant films, both of them. Two of my favorites.
Also: Random Breaking Bad connection - I'm pretty sure one of the boys on bikes after the car crash is played by the actor who plays Louis, Walt Jr.'s friend.
That ones actually in the poll for our next movie react if you would to go vote!
@@InDEEPshat28 Just voted! Hope it wins!
Also, Zodiac, because 2007 was a dope year for cinema
Also l,Jessie pinkmans mom came out in this lol.
They picked Kelly McDonald from Scotland and Javier Bardem from Spain to play main characters. Both had to work on their accents and Javier had to work on English period.
"It started twitching on the ground"
"ALAN"

The book is as good as the movie. Really liked you reactions. More Coen Bros. greatness I think you might like. In no particular order - Raising Arizona{Hilarious} - Millers Crossing{Masterpiece} - Intolerable Cruelty{Vry Vry funny} - True Grit{Jeff Bridges} - O Brother, Where Art Thou?{George Clooney} - The Big Lebowski{Jeff Bridges and John Goodman} Just a sample. Looking forward to whatever you two react to. 👍👍
Also, interesting trivia note: the case that Llewelyn carries the money around in is the very same case containing the ransom that Steve Bushemi buries in the snow in Fargo, as in the Coen Brothers literally used the very same prop.
Btw, if you’re thinking of doing another Coen Brothers movie for the channel but would like something beside the obvious, predictable choice of Big Lebowski, a great choice would be their first movie, Blood Simple. It’s a terrific Noir Thriller done on a near micro-budget and all the more clever for it. It is every inch a Coen Brothers movie, but they haven’t quite nailed down their style yet thus it’s a bit more in-your-face than they’re usually known for, in fact there’s a very noticeable Sam Rami influence that crops up several times.
Cool fun fact! And awesome! Yeah we will definitely be doing more Coen Brothers on the channel✊
Josh Brolin is a great actor. He’s also in Sicario. Check that movie out next it’s fantastic (and also brutal like this).
A movie with less music than this is Dog Day Afternoon, starring Al Pacino
I think I can explain the ending: throughout the movie, Anton seems to possess the belief that as long as he follows certain rules, he's pretty much protected by chance or fate or God or whatever. One of those rules is that he has to give potential victims a coin toss if he has even a shred of doubt about whether he should kill them or not.
It can be argued that he has that rule as a means of absolving himself of guilt for committing an unwanted murder but it could also be argued that, in-universe, these rules of his actually were granting him a 'free pass' of sorts from some type of higher power because he was staying relatively chaotic neutral in terms of his actions (Anton certainly believed this is the case).
In her final scene, Carla Jean refuses to call the coin toss and Anton kills her anyway (as evidenced by him checking his socks). It can be argued that one of two things happened:
- Either she forced Anton to break his rules, which he did out of spite toward Llewelyn, and this effectively changed his alignment in a way that revoked his protection from his 'guardian angel'
- She managed to set up a scenario where Anton's confidence would be shattered - because he was unable to place the blame for her death on chance, he felt guilty for the first time about killing a totally uninvolved person for his own selfish reasons. This was enough to make it so he no longer had that killer demeanor that was based on that guilt-free mentality.
The end result is the same either way: Anton is pretty much done being a hitman now because he simply won't be anywhere near as effective. He may even have some karma coming his way.
What a great comment! The vehicle crashing into his car … that’s karma right there or is it just the randomness of life? It’s just randomness. Not sure he’d never kill again, he’s a straight up psychopath, but the murder of Llewelyn s wife had to have altered him in some way because you are correct; it was a murder that did not follow his rules. When he threw in the coin toss and she did not call it the rules were gone. She said it to his face … it wasn’t the coin toss deciding her fate, it was him and only him. He chose, chooses to murder. Life is about choices while also being random. Anton was no exception, although he though he was. He chose to murder and he’s hit by a car. Choice and randomness. It made me want to watch the full movie again. And what a masterpiece of a movie it is.
No. Anton is representative of a force of nature. He's not really a human character. This story is Cormac McCarthy's exploration of that cruel aspect of our lives ... That in the end we are all beholden to forces indifferent to our wants, needs, hopes, and dreams. Anton is that lightning strike out of the sky that either hits us or misses.
yeah they don't explain *anything* and I love it for that.. it DOES get a lot better the 2nd and 3rd time I saw it. there's really no other film out there like it imo.. that's why I pretty confidently say it's my favorite movie of all time.
Definitely excited to sit down and watch again 👌
"That' a bold statement"--Vincent Vega
This film is difficult for people because not only is there a lot going on plot wise, it also draws on a broad rage of Classical, literary, and philosophical references and ideas.
People often confuse intelligence with ignorance. Ignorance is just the lack of information needed to do a job or access a situation correctly. We are all ignorant in our own ways but it doesn’t mean we’re dumb. Never feel dumb if a movie is more involved than you feel comfortable with, just know that you haven’t the information needed to deal with it. If you were given or learned that information you’d be able to get it right away, like an inside joke.
Here’s a few things: Sheriff Bell is the main character, he is the old man referred to in the title ‘No Country For Old Men.’ The title of the film is from a Yeats poem, ‘Sailing To Byzantium.’ This movie is about sailing, sailing from something and sailing to something, dealing with our own mortality, growing old, having to look Death in the face.
There are many other things, some involve Cervantes (opening windmill scenes), or Anton’s obsession with The Fates and the implied idea of Freewill vs Determinism (the coin ain’t got no say, it’s just you), or The Aeneid’s foundation myths and visiting your father in the underworld, or the overlay of the CIA and Vietnam skull diggers - Air America and later running the drugs out of Mexico - (Carson mentioning the missing floors and his character being a retired army colonel, the company is hiring assassins and dealing for drugs with the cartel uses the building as a front to help fund its Black Ops), it goes on and on, down many, many rabbit holes.
The Cohen Brothers often have larger themes and something involving Homer (the myths not The Simpson). The Big Lebowski is full of ideas too but way friendlier on the viewers head, more accessible to a wider audience -super funny - and not one dead dog...
I’m glad you two liked NCFOM. A lot of people who get little out of the film just think the story wasn’t told right. Llewelyn was trying to look out for what’s coming but what’s coming is what you never see. The beer just means more beer woman kinda of warned him. There is no unimportant dialogue in this movie.
Thanks for making videos eh.
Thank you for this! Definitely liked the movie and are excited to get to more coen brothers films!
I think it's oversimplifying to say that Tommy Lee Jones' character is THE main character. One of the main characters, Llewellyn is killed, so TLJ has to be the vehicle to deliver the denoument.
My favorite Coens Brothers films ... In this order:
- No Country for Old Men
- Fargo
- O Brother Where Art Thou?
- True Grit
- The Big Lebowski
- then the rest of them are great as well
Yeah, I would definitely rewatch it if I were you! Llewelyn's death is so matter of fact that it takes you by surprise and it's like yeah, that's how death typically goes for a lot of people. One day they're there and then they aren't. On the first watch it can be hard to pick up on the fact that there are multiple factions after the money.
I think Chigurh was in the nextdoor hotel room at the end when the Sheriff is checking to see if he went back to the crime scene
Yea, you definitely need to see The Big Lebowski. Definitely Coen's style but a lot different than this and Fargo.
And O Brother Where Art Thou, which is my third favorite of theirs.
My second favorite movie of all time after Casablanca. From a novel by Cormac McCarthy. Brilliant exploration of the indifference nature holds with the fate of mankind.
The kids on their bikes, with cards in the spokes. Kids. One gives the shirt off his back, then takes the "blood money" (before the 80s it would be really hard for a kid to spend a $100 bill, especially with blood on it, because the people who handled money were adults) - In the 80s, with all the franchises and malls, kids became the one's who handled money - After the blood money was accepted, and they started arguing about it... they were corrupted.
5:24 I just finished watching it and I had no Idea, I didn't even occur to me that there was no music
Love how certain people can watch multiple human beings get brutally murdered no problem, but an animal gets killed and they hate it. Nature is way nore brutal than humans.
So cool you are doing this movie, another amazing Coen Brothers work! The coin toss is a classic scene.
The novel was written by Cormac McCarthy (who also collaborated with the Coen Brothers on the screenplay)--he is one of the great living American writers. I think in at least a few of his novels he has a truly evil, almost Satanic character--Anton Chigurh in "No Country...," Judge Holden in "Blood Meridian" (his most renowned novel), or I think of 'the trio' in his novel "Outer Dark." If you read "Blood Meridian," his writing is like virtuosic poetry (amazing vocabulary, etc.), but by the time of "No Country" it was a pared-down style with quirky, minimalistic dialogue conveying deeper, existential themes (similar to another great writer, Flannery O'Connor--I think she must have been an influence on him). The movie is pretty faithful to the book, if I remember...
I saw this film when it came out in the theater with my dad (who passed away a couple years later). I remember we arrived early to sit down in the theater, it was practically empty....the next people walk in and out of all the choices they had available for where to sit, they sit down right in front of us! We couldn't believe it... :D
P.S. Maybe I should have said to them, "Why did you sit right in front of us, friend-o?" :D
Alex mentioned he likes dark movies, so on that note, I'm going to recommend you guys "The River's Edge". Great movie, based on a real life incident that happened in Northern California in the early 80s. Really early performances by Keanu Reeves and Crispin Glover (George McFly from BTTF). One of the best movies I've seen that depicts metalhead/stoner teenagers like they really talk, act, etc. I think you guys would dig it, though it is depressing. Also no reactions online for it (that I could find) so you guys would be the first! :)
Very cool! Added to the list✊
River's Edge. Interesting suggestion. It's been probably thirty years since I saw it. I was impressed. What do you think of Larry Clark's movies? Kids, Another Day in Paradise, Bully, Ken Park?
@@InDEEPshat28 Plus it's the film that catapulted Keanu Reeves to stardom.
Contrary to what just about everyone on the internet says, the movie does have music, or at least a score (by long-time Coen Brothers score composer Carter Burrell). There’s actually about 15 minutes worth of score, but it’s pretty much all very low volume ambient droning that tends to go completely unnoticed, yet on a more or less subconscious level greatly enhances the suspense of scenes such as when Anton forces the gas station attendant to call the coin flip, the score can be most clearly heard in the scene where Anton shoots the bird as he’s driving over the bridge at night.
Maybe he should be worried.. About me!? (Scoffs) He isn't. You're just a guy that found those vehicles.
Such a good little bit of dialogue
I you want a dark movie The Road (2009 film), menace to society, Boyz-N-The-Hood, and higher learning.
Have seen all except the road which is one I’ve wanted to check out for a while!
Sees humans dying- ok
Sees animals dying- real shit
Animals represent pure innocence. :)
@@t0dd000 would love to see you live in the wild niqqa.
lol - a dozen dead bodies bloating in the West TX sun, no problemo... ONE dead dog mixed in the lot - OMG I can't watch!
Women☕
I would say that 99% of the population feels this way.
Lol everybody talks about dude's hair being weird, but it's 1980, that's how mf did their hair! He looks like one of The Beegees 🤣
well, to me it's the "lil lad who loves berries & cream" haircut
(from the old Starburst commercials)...and everyone i can think of, post 1970s anyway, is a raging psychopath (Amy Smith - real life mass murderer, King Farquad -Shrek, Matilda - Natalie Portman's character in Leon the Professional, Mia - Uma Thurman in Pulp Fiction, not realy a psychopath bht def a lil crooked, & of course Anton -NCFOM, seen here.....as well as SEVERAL more)
lol....🤷🏻♀️ just sayin
It's a page boy cut, more or less, that looks absolutely terrifying on a grown man. The key here is that his hair is clearly an afterthought. It gives him an otherworldliness. Which makes sense since his character is representative of a force of nature, and not really a human.
Great movie.
I notice that this movie is chop full of humans being murdered in very brutal ways. But shoot a deer or a dog being shot, and it's " How horrible!!! I can't watch this sh!t!!!"
🙄🤦♂️
Think this Cormac McCarthy film is serious? Just wait until Blood Meridian finally comes out. Heh.
You'll enjoy The Big Lebowski although it might leave you just as confused. My personal Coens favourite is Barton Fink, which along with Lebowski probably contains John Goodman's top 2 career best performances.
did you notice carla jean was the ghost of ravenclaw that helped harry find the lost diadem.
Was she really? No I didn’t think about it really! Very cool👌😄
The dog didn't twitch on the ground, by the way, evil thing to picture.
do the ballad of buster scruggs
See "Miller's Crossing".
No soundtrack the entire movie is what got me the first time I wached it the movie theater in 2007.
4:10 you've just seen two men die lol
Yes! I was waiting to see this reaction. BrBad has a reference from this film iirc.
Take a look at the book sometime, Cormac McCarthy‘s, No Country for Old Men. I wasn’t familiar with him or his work, until I got curious as to where this incredible story came from.
Every one is his works are brilliant. This one, The Road, and All The Pretty Horses are easier to read and understand for now casual readers than some of his others though. Blood Meridian is arguably his greatest work. They are in the midst of making that into a film at the moment (we'll see how the writer's strike affects that). This film followed the novel almost precisely.
Would love to see some Kubrick.
There’s a couple Kubrick films we’re going to do!
Yes, a first class fim! Although, I think There Will be Blood is probably better simply through the force of Daniel day Lewis' performance. I used to work in meat factories, I'm surprised so many people don't know about the captive bolt pistol used to slaughter animals. Lebowski is their best film for me, it's an absolute masterpiece. Two amazing films for you to look forward to!!
I'm a vegetarian now. There was a bizarre case in England a number of years back where a guy in a slaughterhouse used the bolt gun on his workmate just on a sudden whim, he couldn't explain after why he did it but he was guilty of murder.
Unless you worked in a such a factory or have studied up on the topic, most of us don’t want to know or think about slaughterhouses. We want our burgers, but don’t want to face the awful truth of how it came to be on our plate.
Most folks have not used one or seen one. :)
Great reaction ❤ Stop biting your nails, broseph!
Haha nervous thing 😅
Where are the poll's so I can vote. I did find it, thanks
✊
All of em bad guys lol except for Tommy Lee’s character.
G’day guys, the case for the money was in Fargo, when Chigurh gets the coins from his pocket some have blood on them, the number on the cash register is 21 and Chigurh says it’s taken 22 years for this moment, Mike Zoss Pharmacy actually exists in Minneapolis where the Coen bros., grew up, Chigurh doesn’t like blood on him (shower curtain) moves his boots when the blood on the floor gets near him, and after visiting Clara Jean checks the soles of his boots, Clara’s grandmother gives information to the Mexican who gets her bags, that’s how they track down Llewelyn, the title of the movie is taken from a poem ‘Sailing to Byzantium’ by William Butler Yeats, it’s about an old man getting to the end of his days feeling lost to the younger generation, contemplating the afterlife and what’s in store for him as does Sheriff Bell throughout the movie…take care guys.
that mos eisley crew ♨
😎✊
I always say that "No Country For Old Men" is about morality. Moss is moral, but very flawed. Because of that, Moss dies. Chigurh is amoral and believes in random violence. In the end, Chigurh is a victim of random violence with a bone sticking out of his arm. The bone sticking out of his arm indicates that he will die soon because he can't seek proper help in the hospital. I remember the book states that he was never found, which leads us to conclude that the cartel disposed of Chigurh's body. The last man standing is Bell, who doesn't realize that he came out on top because he is the most moral person of the the film. There is no indication of any moral flaws in Bell's character. Bell always tries to do the right thing and worries about defeating evil. Bell worries about God never finding him, but his God is his moral integrity, which he never abandons. Moral people worry about the evil in the world often without realizing when they are doing well. His dream in the end indicates that he is following the path of another moral man, his father, who is saving a spot for him (John 14).
This is the best explanation we’ve seen for this film! Thank you👌
This film has zero to do with morality. It's an exploration of the universe's indifference to us as individuals. Anton is that lightning strike that either hits us or doesn't. It could be said that Moss's character invites that lightning more than others by golfing in the storm, perhaps. But all those others randomly killed were just going about their day. The forces of nature pick no winners or losers. They just are and they just do.
McCarthy's writing is without peer. It's unfortunate that we lost him just recently.
@@t0dd000 This film is moral because it makes a very clear moral statement at the end. The moral man is the obvious winner at the end of this film. Bell is the last man standing, that makes him the winner. The amoral man, Anton, is the loser because he dies a very slow death from an ironically random act of violence. The film intentionally begins with moral ambiguity because the amoral man dominates. Innocent people die because of the decisions made by amoral people. Ultimately, it shows that nature does have a strange, unpredictable, morality.
In the book, Anton survives and sets up a new operation with the American money guy. He killed everyone in the organization cuz he considered them incompetent.
@@r.plante2916 That's not the novel I read. Sounds like the way you wanted the novel to end.
Whats with all the sacred coin toss?weird guy and jesse should get together!
I knew you'd both dig this one. We need a more in-depth review/discussion on your first live stream. I feel like Allen has things to say about this film.
Yo! No mention of Jesse Pinkman's mom?
Haha we did notice it was her just didn’t mention it! 😮💨
His hair wack! 😂
I think the ending is him thinking about death And his father waiting for him.
That makes a lot more sense then some of the other theories we tried to read lol
Way to short reaction. I would enjoy it more if you could edit less of the movie.
Otherwise I liked your reactions. 👍
Ah, killing our fellow humans is fine, but not any animals. 😅
That is always true.
