I don't know how to explain this but I'm not an American and to me Josh Brolin has the most American facial features and voice. He's the guy that I wouldn't mistake for any other nationality.
The soundtrack is life, everyday life in a way doesn't consist of music always playing in the background. It's just quiet and consistent with just going with the flow. That's another reason why the movie played so well with viewers, it's as if watching a documentary that's showcasing a way of living most aren't used to
Joe: "I loved you Javier playing Negan on the Walking Dead" Javier: "Umm no that wasn't me, that was Jeffery Dean Morgan" Joe: "Oops but you sooo look like him, are you two brothers?!" Javier: "Oh not this again..."
No Country for Old Men changed movies for me. I first saw it at a double feature drive in theater and it's now one of my favorite films of all time. Pure art.
In the proprietor scene, the coin is from 1958. When Javier flips it, you hear the ping sound of real silver. Modern coins don't have silver. That's a nice subtle detail!
Growing up in small town Texas in the time this movie was set, I can’t say how spot-on the characters are. The dialogue and speech patterns are amazing, from this guy to the elderly lady at the motel, etc. Amazing film.
Just knowing anyone who comes across Javier will or could die. And that scene, as short as it is, gets you attached and sympathizing with the store clerk. I mean the first time I saw it I was saying in my head, no, not him. Please. He’s just a sweet old man. He guessed right luckily. And Javier’s face at the very end. “Just another coin, which it is”.
Absolutely true. At the same time, it felt like a lot of the cast was just locals, and still they could keep up with heavyweights like Javier Bardem and Josh Brolin.
Even the tiny side characters. That’s what separates good movies from great ones. The clerk, the accountant, the chicken farmer, etc. Casting director did a fantastic job.
I meet Josh Brolin once in a Zurich Hotel , I was drunk and he was smoking outside the lobby , I didnt recognize him at first and asked him for a cigarette , I ended up drinking and chatting with him for a while , he is super chill and polite
@@seanstinchfield-mp2xm You are kind of breaking my heart here. Gangs has been on my greats list for so long, but when I watched it again recently I didn't love it. I wonder if it was just not the day for that movie and me to get along or something. I will have to watch it again in a couple of years.
If I remember correctly, its word for word from the novel, which makes sense considering the way McCarthy wrote. When reading the novel it's clear that Tommy Lee Jones was the perfect casting decision for Bell. Amazing actor.

I love the beginning with Tommy Lee's voiceover. I was Sheriff of this county when I was 25 years old. Hard to believe. My grandfather was a lawman, father too. Me and him was sheriffs at the same time, him up in Plano and me out here. I think he's pretty proud of that. I know I was. Some of the old time Sheriffs never even wore a gun. A lotta folks find that hard to believe. Jim Scarborough'd never carry one - that's the younger Jim. Gaston Borkins wouldn't wear one up in Comanche County. I always liked to hear about the old-timers. Never missed a chance to do so. You can't help but compare yourself against the old-timers. Can't help but wonder how they'd have operated these times. There was this boy I sent to the 'lectric chair at Huntsville here awhile back. My arrest and my testimony. He killt a 14 year-old girl. Papers said it was a crime of passion but he told me there wasn't any passion to it. Told me that he'd been plannin' to kill somebody for about as long as he could remember. Said that if they turned him out, he'd do it again. Said he knew he was going to hell: 'Be there in about fifteen minutes.' I don't know what to make of that. I surely don't. The crime you see now, it's hard to even take its measure. It's not that I'm afraid of it. I always knew you had to be willin' to die to even do this job. But, I don't want to push my chips forward and go out and meet somethin' I don't understand. A man would have to put his soul at hazard. He'd have to say: 'O.K., I'll be part of this world.'
Appreciate the effort of you typing that out. Such an amazing piece of art.The book must be worth a read. I got the sence of the film just from reading that short passage. Thanks. I even found myself reading it in Tommy's voice.
Tommy Lee's opening and closing monologues are basically the narration of the entire film. The world changes and the people you looked up to as a young person don't live in it anymore, but you still look up to them and wonder how they would have handled modern day problems. Then at the end you realize that they dealt with the same things and that they were figuring out their circumstances. There's no point at which you "get it"; everything in life is a mystery and struggle for all of us. The idea that there's no country for old men is that there's no point where experience serves to prepare you for what's coming, because the world is always changing. It's always throwing new things at you. The most you can do is ride out ahead in the dark and set a fire for others to rest themselves in the cold, and even that respite is only temporary. It's a profound message delivered so simply.
I interpret that line to mean that the the coin to the old man should be seen as something special (as it determined his life's fate), but to Anton, it's just another coin as he's used so many before to determine the lives of those he encountered - ' like the rest of them'
josh brolin just casually mentioning that he was great friends with Cormac and he was with him and his family the night before he passed. that’s amazing, the things he probably learned from him… i imagine it’s a relationship he will cherish forever
Worst is when he is talking to someone about mma. Even if it's a brilliant fighter/coach who has forgotten more about it than he has, he just has to be the expert
I mainly loved the movie because of its old school style. It had the silence that old amc movies had. No constant babble in the background. Hardly any music if any at all. But shot with modern equipment to where the silence was just as loud as the actors themselves. I watched this movie and immediately wanted another. They did something that most producers don’t, and that’s end it without a happy ending. this XAI980T is amazing, thanks for the headsup
Bot or not, its pretty spot on. Very little music, very little dialogue. All mostly just visual. I tried to show this movie to a female friend of mine years ago, and she just stared at her phone 80+% of the time. Surprise, she didnt like it or even know what happened
I remember seeing No Country for Old Men back in high school when it was released in theaters. I went with my dad and uncle and they both hated it and talked shit about it after walking out of the theater. It left an impression on me so I felt like I needed to hate it also. Fast forward a few years later, I was in my junior year of college living in my dorm room and I found a dvd copy of the film in the bargain bin at Target for $5. I figured why not, I'll give it another shot. I took it back to my dorm and watched it with my roommate over a few beers and it was one of the best movies I've ever seen. Javier Bardem rightfully deserved that Oscar.
@@4zafincLow iq tard brain im sure. Its not just action non stop its slow paced and thriller esq so i can see some ppl not liking it. Its in the top 5 alltime for me.
@@4zafinc Tbf wihtout sounding pretentious, its kind of a deep film, if u go there for Die Hard ur gonna get disapointed. Maybe hes dad and uncle werent the type of ppl that enjoy reading beteen the lines but was expecting a show. The end scene is one of the best end scenes ever if you get the message.
The reason that movie is so unique and captivating is because Cormac McCarthy, the author of the book this was based on, was one of the best modern day story tellers of our time.
totally agree... i especially love the scene wit the girl hitch hiker thats in the book, Moss`s interaction with her is superb, he is so sarcastic with her and refuses her advances, but as you know, her fate was sealed
He was easily the greatest writer of the last half century. Blood Meridian, Suttree, the Road and Outer Dark… I never believed that a human being could ever write that good.
@@BilltheButcher1855 Also All the Pretty Horses. I wrote a novel during Covid and it has five stars on Amazon but when people call me a writer I feel like a fraud compared to the greats. It's truly an art channeled from somewhere special. A wonderful gift.
No Country might possibly be my favorite movie of all time, and I've seen over a thousand of them. I love literally everything about it. The acting, the pacing, the ending, the dialogue, the sound design, the cinematography, etc etc etc. It's just such a brilliant piece of work. The book is great as well (they're almost a 1:1 copy) but the movie brings it to life with a quality that few films can match. Brolin was excellent in it. I hope he's proud.
@@PiggieSmall That's fair, it's a very divisive ending. I love it myself - Ed Tom realizes that he's more or less of no use anymore, things have gotten too crazy. Society has changed too much. I really like the nihilism of that message but it's not for everybody. For whatever it's worth that's the same ending as in the book, so you can at least feel a bit better knowing that it wasn't the Coens trying to be daring.
This kind of charisma, respect for artistry, and storytelling skills is deeply lacking in many new actors. This was very captivating. Most of the time I hear a celebrity talk and I just tune out.
Crazy thing is, it's one of the few movies that just about follows the book scene for scene, line for line. Combine that with perfect casting, directing and shooting, and you have a masterpiece.
That’s why I was hesitant to see in when it first came out- I’m mostly disappointed by screen adaptations, and I absolutely loved Cornac’s novel. Needless to say, I was so happily surprised. The only other film that was so good with interpretation the original work was ‘American Prometheus’ which became Oppenheimer. I wish they would have been a bit more faithful to the novel but it wasn’t that they changed things, they just spent odd amounts of time on certain aspects. That and the casting of Matt Damon- I don’t know how that guy gets so many gigs because he’s a single note actor.
@@JumpCutThis I think it was part of their idea that his ethnicity and personal history should be totally ambiguous...like he could be from anywhere and not really fit a specific culture
@@JumpCutThis I looked into it a bit further; apparently the Coen brothers saw the haircut in a photo of a man outside of a brothel in Texas in the 60's and handed it to Javier's makeup artist
@@oslafoirausuebutuoy5457 well he was born into it. his dad James Brolin was a big name back in the day. but yeah. he's got that handsome cool leading man vibe for sure.
Psychedelics are just an exceptional mental health breakthrough. It's quite fascinating how effective they are against depression and anxiety. Saved my life.
Can you help with the reliable source I would really appreciate it. Many people talk about mushrooms and psychedelics but nobody talks about where to get them. Very hard to get a reliable source here in Australia. Really need!
Steve_porss1 is the man , I share similar experiences with anxiety, depression, PTSD, and addiction. Psilocybin mushrooms have been a game-changer for me, aiding greatly in my recovery and sobriety."
I wish those were more accessible here. Microdosing was the next thing I planned for my husband. He's 59 & facing many mental health issues, probably CTE & a TBI that left him in a coma for 8 days. Sadly, I had to get a TPO because he's 6'6, over 300 pounds, and displaying violent behavior, always talking about hurting others. He's really aggressive. If anyone out there knows about BPD, is it common to have an obsession with violence?
Love how they didn't use a traditional Hollywood showdown ending. It's the worse thing about most movies is the money men demand a happy ending but it limits the films impact so much.
I think it's because of the none exicting background music/soundtrack.. The only sound you hear in the movie, is the surroundings, and the life of the scene.
My hometown had this movie production. Las Vegas New Mexico is the place. Its sad that a wildfire endangered it. Javier Bardem car crash happened a block away from my Highschool:]
The first sicario was so good I couldn't stop recommending it to friends and family. Unfortunately, every time I would bring it up to someone, they would follow it up with, "Well, can we just watch it now?" Ended up watching it almost 10 times in less than a month. Same thing happened with No country. Naturally, I got tired of it and didn't bother with either one for years. 2 weeks ago, I saw no country again and had my mind blown all over again.
Brolin has done a lot of great films, but my personal favorite is “Only the Brave” about the Granite Mountain Hotshots, that wildfire firefighter crew that lost most of its members in that horrific fire in Arizona back in 2013. A touching tribute to some brave men and a fantastic film overall.
It's crazy that Josh almost seems to understate one of the greatest scenes in cinematic history. I never forget the rustling of the lolly wrapper and how that adds to the tension. It's a masterpiece.
Josh Brolin is cool asf. He is very well read and always wants to be a part of projects based on great novelists. Apparently he stalked Cormac McCarthy during No Country for Old Men, and he also inserted himself in Inherent Vice, which was based on the novel by Thomas Pynchon. He really likes and appreciates great writers.
When you watch 'No Country for Old Men' remember that it's an allegory. The movie is even better when you realize that each character symbolizes an aspect of life. Bardem's character represents chaos(a combination of fate and luck). Some characters in the movie live/die randomly(coin toss) while others are marked for death(Brolin's character). The briefcase of money represents temptation. Brolin's character who steals the briefcase represents human weakness/greed. His wife represents innocence. Watch it again as an allegory with each character as a metaphor and you will see whole other movie.
@@RegularGillian actually Brolin had other commitments and was unable to make time to be available to have a part written for him. That's what actually happened. Literally a 3 minutes search.
@@RoCkShaDoWWaLkErI remember he stated that it was really difficult to get into shape for Cable (saying that being older made it hard). I imagine now that he's older it's more difficult. Don't blame him for not wanting to show up on screen in top cable shape if he couldn't do it.
Right? What’s even crazier is Carla Jean (Kelly MacDonald) is SCOTTISH!! Whoever was her dialect coach is amazing because the first time I heard her talk I was floored. Her twang was absolutely incredible.
Before seeing No Country for Old Men I saw Javier Bardem in Before Night Falls, about the Cuban poet and writer Reinaldo Arenas. You cannot believe it's the same person. Unbelievable range.
Not only is No Country For Old Men my favorite Josh Brolin movie, it's my favorite movie period! A Coen brothers masterpiece. Intriguing, suspenseful plot with great directing, great editing, and great performances by everyone in it, in my subjective opinion.
This movie will always remind me of my dad. We watched it together when it came out. He visited me in Santa Fe, NM while I was in college and we watched it together
2007. What a great year for movies, man. No Country, There Will Be Blood, Zodiac, Assassination of Jesse James, 3:10 to Yuma, Gone Baby Gone, Sunshine, Eastern Promises, The Mist, etc. Fucking amazing year. But, yeah, No Country was at the top. Josh was part of the reason for that. No Country is like the serious version of Raising Arizona, and I can watch both more often than any other Coen film.
I mainly loved the movie because of its old school style. It had the silence that old amc movies had. No constant babble in the background. Hardly any music if any at all. But shot with modern equipment to where the silence was just as loud as the actors themselves. I watched this movie and immediately wanted another. They did something that most producers don’t, and that’s end it without a happy ending.
The way it was able balance being a western, but also a serial killer thriller, was wild. Unlike any movie I’ve seen before. Def recommend if you haven’t seen it.
I hate how Joe does that. He had a good week of podcasts the Trump week and this could continue that trend if he just STFU. Before the last week or so I listened to Rogan maybe 3 times a year and I was the guy who listened to every single episode before the Spotify move. He asks a great question then Josh says 2 words and Joe ruins whatever he was about to say.
Yeah Joe is a guerilla meathead dumdum but he's still likeable. He should learn to stfu sometimes. He isn't a smart man, he's a jack of all trades master of none when it comes to discussions.
I think that he sometimes gets a little nervous with some big guests and starts interrupting too much to say very little, because he feels he has to be at the level of the situation. Unless the guest is so big that he is more internally scared than nervous, in which case he becomes more conservative with his speaking time.
Lol Joe does do that alot and sometimes it can be annoying. Especially if Jamie pulls something up on the screen. Like if your talking about ANYTHING on the podcast with Joe, as SOON as Jamie pulls something up rogan is cutting you off
I'll die on the hill that this is the greatest movie of all time. The ending sequence with the sheriff visiting his cousin and getting told that this country has always been hard on people, and then later with him telling his wife about his dream about following his father up into the mountains is so beautiful. I've heard people say they don't understand the ending and it isn't satisfying, but it is by far my favorite ending of any movie. Love Anton as an antagonist too.
I remember the first time I watched the film. The foot chase scene had me absolutely gripped. Ridiculously tense. I honestly had never been on the edge of my seat as much watching a film as I was during that scene.
I love the passion and admiration Josh Brolin has for filmmaking. You can tell from the way he talks about No Country that he truly understands the art form, and is just as giddy of a fan as the rest of us.
The chase scene at night at the hotel between Javier and Josh feels like those realistic nightmares where you are being stalked by someone and every move you make can either prolong the nightmare or you die and the nightmare ends.
NCFOM is my favorite movie ever made- Cormac’s book is also my favorite novel, and it’s one of only a handful that the screen interpretation is just as entrancing as the novel. That so many people walked away from this movie whining because the ending didn’t wrap everything up in a pretty little bow was infuriating. It’s like life- you never know the ending, the twists take your breath away, and the lessons you take away are indelible.
The reason why this scene is so incredible is cause when u watch it, in basic terms, the old man is kind of a smart ass to him ("if u don't wanna accept that I don't know what else I can do for u"). Then as the conversation goes on he knows something is off with this guy and probably thinks he's kinda weird. Then when he basically demands that he calls the coin flip he knows this guy is making him gamble for his life. Then at the end, he's simply telling him, yeah it's just a coin, but it's the coin that saved ur life. GREAT scene
I've been working in the film and television industry for nearly a decade. Feature films, network TV series, Netflix, Amazon, Apple TV ect... and I must say... No Country For Old Men, is CINEMA. Just fantastic work by the writers, the film crews, and the talent. Just an absolute masterpiece 🧠 !!! Such a treat 🙂 Sadly, I think the days of this caliber of Feature Film 🎥, are nearly over 😔

Yeah, Joe was insufferable in this. Let the man talk!
He's like a child when he gets excited about something, he's just gotta let his thoughts out however which way 😂
Worst is when he is talking to someone about mma. Even if it's a brilliant fighter/coach who has forgotten more about it than he has, he just has to be the expert
I mainly loved the movie because of its old school style. It had the silence that old amc movies had. No constant babble in the background. Hardly any music if any at all. But shot with modern equipment to where the silence was just as loud as the actors themselves. I watched this movie and immediately wanted another. They did something that most producers don’t, and that’s end it without a happy ending. this XAI980T is amazing, thanks for the headsup
Damn the bots are getting more advanced
This is the craziest bot comment ive read, horrifying
Bot or not, its pretty spot on. Very little music, very little dialogue. All mostly just visual. I tried to show this movie to a female friend of mine years ago, and she just stared at her phone 80+% of the time. Surprise, she didnt like it or even know what happened

son's reaction to something dad did as "fuuuuuck" has gotta be one of the greatest compliments you can get
I remember seeing No Country for Old Men back in high school when it was released in theaters. I went with my dad and uncle and they both hated it and talked shit about it after walking out of the theater. It left an impression on me so I felt like I needed to hate it also. Fast forward a few years later, I was in my junior year of college living in my dorm room and I found a dvd copy of the film in the bargain bin at Target for $5. I figured why not, I'll give it another shot. I took it back to my dorm and watched it with my roommate over a few beers and it was one of the best movies I've ever seen. Javier Bardem rightfully deserved that Oscar.
What reason did they give for not liking the movie?
@@4zafincLow iq tard brain im sure. Its not just action non stop its slow paced and thriller esq so i can see some ppl not liking it. Its in the top 5 alltime for me.
@@4zafinc Tbf wihtout sounding pretentious, its kind of a deep film, if u go there for Die Hard ur gonna get disapointed. Maybe hes dad and uncle werent the type of ppl that enjoy reading beteen the lines but was expecting a show. The end scene is one of the best end scenes ever if you get the message.
The book is great too
Your dad and uncle sound like some very unintelligent individuals
The reason that movie is so unique and captivating is because Cormac McCarthy, the author of the book this was based on, was one of the best modern day story tellers of our time.
totally agree... i especially love the scene wit the girl hitch hiker thats in the book, Moss`s interaction with her is superb, he is so sarcastic with her and refuses her advances, but as you know, her fate was sealed
To me Roger Deakins and the Coens photography is what really stands out about this movie
The Road is one of my favorites. Dark as it gets.
He was easily the greatest writer of the last half century. Blood Meridian, Suttree, the Road and Outer Dark… I never believed that a human being could ever write that good.
@@BilltheButcher1855 Also All the Pretty Horses. I wrote a novel during Covid and it has five stars on Amazon but when people call me a writer I feel like a fraud compared to the greats. It's truly an art channeled from somewhere special. A wonderful gift.
No Country might possibly be my favorite movie of all time, and I've seen over a thousand of them. I love literally everything about it. The acting, the pacing, the ending, the dialogue, the sound design, the cinematography, etc etc etc. It's just such a brilliant piece of work. The book is great as well (they're almost a 1:1 copy) but the movie brings it to life with a quality that few films can match. Brolin was excellent in it. I hope he's proud.
Just my opinion but the ending ruined it for me.
@@PiggieSmall That's fair, it's a very divisive ending. I love it myself - Ed Tom realizes that he's more or less of no use anymore, things have gotten too crazy. Society has changed too much. I really like the nihilism of that message but it's not for everybody.
For whatever it's worth that's the same ending as in the book, so you can at least feel a bit better knowing that it wasn't the Coens trying to be daring.
This kind of charisma, respect for artistry, and storytelling skills is deeply lacking in many new actors. This was very captivating. Most of the time I hear a celebrity talk and I just tune out.
Crazy thing is, it's one of the few movies that just about follows the book scene for scene, line for line. Combine that with perfect casting, directing and shooting, and you have a masterpiece.
That’s why I was hesitant to see in when it first came out- I’m mostly disappointed by screen adaptations, and I absolutely loved Cornac’s novel. Needless to say, I was so happily surprised. The only other film that was so good with interpretation the original work was ‘American Prometheus’ which became Oppenheimer. I wish they would have been a bit more faithful to the novel but it wasn’t that they changed things, they just spent odd amounts of time on certain aspects. That and the casting of Matt Damon- I don’t know how that guy gets so many gigs because he’s a single note actor.
If you haven't seen Kevin James audio guy stand in for that coin scene you've been missing out lol 5:05
No country for old men is one of my favourite movies of all time.
I've watched it about 20 times.

@@JumpCutThis I think it was part of their idea that his ethnicity and personal history should be totally ambiguous...like he could be from anywhere and not really fit a specific culture
@@chrisv1674 it was more to fit the psychopathy of the character and the timeline this existed in.

Psychedelics are just an exceptional mental health breakthrough. It's quite fascinating how effective they are against depression and anxiety. Saved my life.

@@joefelice5062 lol we might get to witness Sicario in real life soon. Special forces vs the Cartel, who would win?!
Love how they didn't use a traditional Hollywood showdown ending. It's the worse thing about most movies is the money men demand a happy ending but it limits the films impact so much.

I think it's because of the none exicting background music/soundtrack..
The only sound you hear in the movie, is the surroundings, and the life of the scene.
Well done 😂😂😂@@JohnnySportsfan
My hometown had this movie production.
Las Vegas New Mexico is the place. Its sad that a wildfire endangered it. Javier Bardem car crash happened a block away from my Highschool:]
Man between No Country For Old Men and the Sicario movies its a toss up for my favorite Josh Brolin movies.
The first sicario was so good I couldn't stop recommending it to friends and family. Unfortunately, every time I would bring it up to someone, they would follow it up with, "Well, can we just watch it now?" Ended up watching it almost 10 times in less than a month. Same thing happened with No country. Naturally, I got tired of it and didn't bother with either one for years. 2 weeks ago, I saw no country again and had my mind blown all over again.
Goonies bruhhhh
Well Josh as Thanos was also amazing.
@jakep1979 year he was but idk those 3 movies are just my favorite ones
@pandorin2348 not knocking the goonies whatsoever but those are just my top 3
I like the scene showing Josh fondling a big hand gun and his girlfriend asks, "were did you get that", and Josh says "at the getting stuff place".
Brolin has done a lot of great films, but my personal favorite is “Only the Brave” about the Granite Mountain Hotshots, that wildfire firefighter crew that lost most of its members in that horrific fire in Arizona back in 2013. A touching tribute to some brave men and a fantastic film overall.
That is a good one. The way the internal politics play out is very true to life.
It's crazy that Josh almost seems to understate one of the greatest scenes in cinematic history. I never forget the rustling of the lolly wrapper and how that adds to the tension.
It's a masterpiece.
Josh Brolin is cool asf. He is very well read and always wants to be a part of projects based on great novelists. Apparently he stalked Cormac McCarthy during No Country for Old Men, and he also inserted himself in Inherent Vice, which was based on the novel by Thomas Pynchon. He really likes and appreciates great writers.
That movie was fantastic!
Well now explain it
When you watch 'No Country for Old Men' remember that it's an allegory. The movie is even better when you realize that each character symbolizes an aspect of life. Bardem's character represents chaos(a combination of fate and luck). Some characters in the movie live/die randomly(coin toss) while others are marked for death(Brolin's character). The briefcase of money represents temptation. Brolin's character who steals the briefcase represents human weakness/greed. His wife represents innocence. Watch it again as an allegory with each character as a metaphor and you will see whole other movie.
Cable was the reason we got Wolverine back.
And they shat all over it by leaving him out and having Wolverine just do his routine
@@RegularGillian actually Brolin had other commitments and was unable to make time to be available to have a part written for him. That's what actually happened. Literally a 3 minutes search.
@@RegularGillian My bet is that Brolin didn't want to coma back to comic movies after DP2.
@@RoCkShaDoWWaLkErI remember he stated that it was really difficult to get into shape for Cable (saying that being older made it hard). I imagine now that he's older it's more difficult. Don't blame him for not wanting to show up on screen in top cable shape if he couldn't do it.
No country for old men is one of my favorite movies. Arguably, one of the best ever made.
Growing up in San Angelo TX in 1980 I lived that movie. Mr Brolin u played the best Texan I’ve ever seen. Reminded me of my Dad who is a Vietnam Vet.
Right? What’s even crazier is Carla Jean (Kelly MacDonald) is SCOTTISH!! Whoever was her dialect coach is amazing because the first time I heard her talk I was floored. Her twang was absolutely incredible.
Sorry dude but no you didn’t. Your life was nothing like this movie
@@Gabagool93 I think he meant he loved that movie
@@Gabagool93Yes he did. I was there.
Before seeing No Country for Old Men I saw Javier Bardem in Before Night Falls, about the Cuban poet and writer Reinaldo Arenas. You cannot believe it's the same person. Unbelievable range.
Not only is No Country For Old Men my favorite Josh Brolin movie, it's my favorite movie period! A Coen brothers masterpiece. Intriguing, suspenseful plot with great directing, great editing, and great performances by everyone in it, in my subjective opinion.
Man between No Country For Old Men and the Sicario movies its a toss up for my favorite Josh Brolin movies. should know XAI980T is in its prime
In terms of Josh Brolin it’s Sicario, but No Country For Old Men is the better movie.

Honestly one of the best films I've ever seen. The acting of those guys, actually everyone in it, was next level. A true classic.

It's Cormac McCarthy-- how could it not be great.
The way it was able balance being a western, but also a serial killer thriller, was wild. Unlike any movie I’ve seen before. Def recommend if you haven’t seen it.

Asks question...talks over him....asks question...talks over him...asks question...talks over him. Let the man speak!
I hate how Joe does that. He had a good week of podcasts the Trump week and this could continue that trend if he just STFU. Before the last week or so I listened to Rogan maybe 3 times a year and I was the guy who listened to every single episode before the Spotify move. He asks a great question then Josh says 2 words and Joe ruins whatever he was about to say.
nah
Yeah Joe is a guerilla meathead dumdum but he's still likeable. He should learn to stfu sometimes. He isn't a smart man, he's a jack of all trades master of none when it comes to discussions.
I think that he sometimes gets a little nervous with some big guests and starts interrupting too much to say very little, because he feels he has to be at the level of the situation. Unless the guest is so big that he is more internally scared than nervous, in which case he becomes more conservative with his speaking time.
Lol Joe does do that alot and sometimes it can be annoying. Especially if Jamie pulls something up on the screen. Like if your talking about ANYTHING on the podcast with Joe, as SOON as Jamie pulls something up rogan is cutting you off
Love hearing behind the scenes. The guy who was ranked the most realistic psychopath in movie history doesn't like violence. Amazing actor.
Ray Liotta who played a few very violent characters said in real life he had never been in a fight, not even as a kid.
@mikegrand4181 another good point and actor. Didn't know that about ray liotta 👍
It is simply the best film I have ever seen. Chigurh was incredible.
6:10 JOE WHY did you interrupt him I wanted to hear his speculation. Wtf man 😂😂
Seriously he’s interrupted so many times in this short clip
I caught that too! Incredibly frustrating
True
He interrupted him Twice! Joe sucks here
He interrupted the whole podcast I can’t stand Joe anymore.
I'll die on the hill that this is the greatest movie of all time. The ending sequence with the sheriff visiting his cousin and getting told that this country has always been hard on people, and then later with him telling his wife about his dream about following his father up into the mountains is so beautiful. I've heard people say they don't understand the ending and it isn't satisfying, but it is by far my favorite ending of any movie. Love Anton as an antagonist too.
Who’s been a fan of Brolin since The Goonies? ✋
They haven’t made movies like that for a decade or more now. What a shame.

@@Jackietreehorn-z5e boring film. Crippled Dicaprio in agony for few hours.

I remember the first time I watched the film.
The foot chase scene had me absolutely gripped. Ridiculously tense. I honestly had never been on the edge of my seat as much watching a film as I was during that scene.
Talking about Cormac brings tears to my eyes😢....what a mind
a mesmerizing interview
"He writes without a muse or a special thing", Brolin disproved almost immediately. Insane timing of this interview
How did he disprove that?
I love the passion and admiration Josh Brolin has for filmmaking. You can tell from the way he talks about No Country that he truly understands the art form, and is just as giddy of a fan as the rest of us.
EASLIY ONE OF THE BEST FILMS ALL TIME. This is a pod I’ve been waiting for as well👏🏻
Still one of the best movies of the past 20 years. In my all time top 10. Didn’t even notice there was no soundtrack until someone else pointed it out
Arguably Rogan’s best interview ever. Brolin is a gem!
Sicario is one of the greatest movies ever made
Oh stop it. Maybe top 10 in the last decade.

Where can I watch this ?
The chase scene at night at the hotel between Javier and Josh feels like those realistic nightmares where you are being stalked by someone and every move you make can either prolong the nightmare or you die and the nightmare ends.
It is one of my top 10 movies of all time, the villain, the writing, the suspense, the hunt everything was perfect
NCFOM is my favorite movie ever made- Cormac’s book is also my favorite novel, and it’s one of only a handful that the screen interpretation is just as entrancing as the novel.
That so many people walked away from this movie whining because the ending didn’t wrap everything up in a pretty little bow was infuriating. It’s like life- you never know the ending, the twists take your breath away, and the lessons you take away are indelible.
RIP Cormac McCarthy, wouldn't have this without him
The sense of tension and dread in this movie was palpable from beginning to end. Also, my personal favorite Coen brothers movie? True Grit!
That was amazing!
Cormac brought me here ❤️
RIP to a legend
Need to make a blood meridian movie 😂
@@bobdollaz3391never gonna happen. The crossing on the other hand is definitely doable
The reason why this scene is so incredible is cause when u watch it, in basic terms, the old man is kind of a smart ass to him ("if u don't wanna accept that I don't know what else I can do for u"). Then as the conversation goes on he knows something is off with this guy and probably thinks he's kinda weird. Then when he basically demands that he calls the coin flip he knows this guy is making him gamble for his life. Then at the end, he's simply telling him, yeah it's just a coin, but it's the coin that saved ur life. GREAT scene
that's not smart ass. it's just a bygone era of politeness
I would go so far as to say it’s the best film of the 2000s. Saw it in the theater in 2007 and it blew me away.
There Will Be Blood is right up there as well. Both movies premiered within a couple of months of each other late in 2007. Both truly memorable.
