    Anton is definitely one of the best, scariest, and most disturbing villains ever put to screen. The best way to describe him is: The Joker without the laughter. That’s pretty much Anton.

      I disagree with comparing Chiguhr with Joker. Joker is an agent of chaos, the ultimate wildcard. Anton is an agent of order, seemingly random but actually brutally efficient with a code (of sorts) and singular of purpose.

With the new drugs and weapons accessible to the public it brings on a new wave of crime he hasnt seen before. In other words, he realizes this country is no longer a "Country for Old Men".

    Also, if ya'll happen to read this, try to think of the whole movie as being from the sheriff's perspective. That's the way to understand a big part of what it is. He starts out believing in the America in his mind and in the mind of his generation's lawmen. There's the man of justice (himself) the outlaw hero (Lewellyn) and the villain (Chigurh). He and/or Lewellyn are supposed to take down the villain and walk away with everything set right. Instead, the outlaw hero is killed by some random cartel guys while cheating on his wife, the villain gets away having murdered said wife, and the man of justice gets none. The world changes faster than any of us can keep up with. The young always have their moment, but they lose momentum as the world keeps pace. We all come to a point where things just stop making sense and we realize in that moment that maybe they never did. The personal element to the movie has to do with an internal idea of order and chaos happening in Ed Tom's mind while there is another aspect that deals with the concept of causality of a more universal kind (which is what Anton is obsessed with - he sees himself as an agent of it.)

    There is a lot to this movie, but the opening scene where Chigurh strangles the cop is one of the scenes that is the most indicative of the Coen brother's genius. It's a scene with a lot of blood, but the aspects that really disturb and stick with you are the look on Anton's face and the scuff marks on the floor rather than the arterial spray. It's brilliant because blood is sort of arbitrary. It's just a natural byproduct of violence. The scuff marks, on the other hand, paint a lasting picture of the cop's desperation in his final moments. And Anton's expression is the only instance in the film where you see the feral nature behind his psychopathy before you watch him quickly suppress it when the moment finally ends.

In the 60s & 70s, a kid could not spend a $100 bill without their parents knowing (especially a $100 bill with blood on), because people who worked the cash registers were adults.

    The air tank is to pressurize the penetrating bolt gun, which is also known as a cattle stunner. Air pressure causes a metal tube to fire out into the brain and then retracts, either by lowering the air pressure or due to a spring. One important lesson to learn from the film, is that if you ever find a huge briefcase full of money, take the money out and move it to a different container to carry it. Which personally I didn't need the film to let me know that. Always be paranoid when it comes to random huge amounts of money in a briefcase.

    @EricAKATheBelgianGuy 3 ปีที่แล้ว +2

    What makes Anton so scary is that he picks his victims completely randomly. That's why he flips the coin. He's trying to show just how random life can often be. And if the victim calls wrong, it gives him an odd justification to kill them, since *they* technically were the ones that called. When Anton tells the gas station owner, "I can't call it for you," it's basically absolving himself of all responsibility if the owner guesses incorrectly. Unlike Heath Ledger's Joker, Anton sees his work actually as work.
    That's what makes him so scary to me - he basically leaves everything up to chance, and according to his code, if you lose, it's your own fault. In a way, he could reasonably say that he gave them a fair chance.

      He was also incredibly lazy. Staying in a motel is literally the last thing you should do in this situation. My cop friend told me the very worst thing any criminal on the run does is stay in motels along a likely route. They often make that mistake. It may seem anonymous but it's actually not difficult to trace and locate. The best thing to do he says is sleep in an unknown vehicle well off any beaten track, or a tent every night until you are well clear of the state or states.
      In fact hitchhiking, even taking a train, renting a car, and changing your appearance (dying your hair, changing clothes) instantly could have saved his and his wife's life. Telling his wife to leave her house, tell, tell nobody, and to leave the state immediately (meeting by a certain date at a certain location) would have also saved her life. A big mistake Brolin also not going full offensive. He hurt Anton therefore he could have killed him too.

    My take on this wonderful movie: Three main characters. Three views on life. The killer believes in fate and luck. (After he loses his luck, things start to go bad for him: He gets shot. He is in a car accident. He knows his luck has changed. ) The hunters life is made up of the choices he makes. (He decides to follow the dog's blood trail, decides to steal the money, decides to go back to give the man water, decides not to go into another motel room with the random lady, etc...) The lawman believes that there is a Heaven and a Hell and that things are pre-ordained. He is searching for proof of this. However, in the end, he believes this was simply a dream from which he has awakened. Very Dark, but I love this movie! Great Reaction and comments!!

    They really didn’t give him enough screen time in Skyfall and it was a wasted opportunity in my eyes. Javier Bardem is just amazing. I think this performance and Buffalo Bill in Silence Of The Lambs are the greatest villains of all time.
    Guys I need to recommend another for you , it’s call ManHunter from about 1986. It’s the first of the Hannibal Lector movies before Lambs and it’s still the best and most underrated. Not as scary as this but it has moments that will creep you out big time. Stars Tom Noonan as the Tooth Fairy. Trust me.

    Most people don't get the beginning or ending. It's about the late 70s beginning of the Drug running at the Mexican borders by the cartels, thus the Name of the book and movie. The Sherrif is the center of the story, (not really) as per the title. We see an old sheriff in Texas who always felt comfortable in his job, who decides it's NO JOB FOR HIM (insert movie's name) and thus retires, that's the gist. But how we get from point A to point B is the real story. Try the Cohens first movie, from 1983 or 84, It's called "Blood Simple" a great flick for a first film. The film ENDS because the sheriff retires basically, he's the storyline.

    When Chigurh blew up the car in front of the pharmacy I think it was more to access certain behind the counter items that normally require a subscription without anyone taking notice. The most likely item on this list would have been high strength pain killers, morphine, oxycodone/oxycontin. Though for certain reasons, scalpels and methods of bullet extraction, and deep wound cleaning might also be illegal without subscription for the simple purpose they don't want people treating themselves for serious injury, and obviously the police want to know whenever someone gets shot, for any reason.
    From what little evidence we have Chigurh wasn't so hard up for money that geting OTC items for free was a necessity.

    Riding "bitch" is when you have 3 people in the front seat ( usually a bench seat, and usually in a pickup truck ) the center person is the "bitch". It refers to when a guy is driving his truck and his girlfriend sits in the middle to be close to him - even when there is only 2 people in the front seat.
