    Bill honestly explained the ending, and the overall theme of the movie, better than any video I’ve seen trying to explain it. The old man is chasing a ghost, the manifestation of the violence of a new world he doesn’t comprehend

      I recently watched a Wendigoon (if you know who that is) video from a few years ago about No Country For Old Men and that’s how he explained it also. It was like an hour long video going into detail though, Bill’s description is pretty straight forward making it both quicker and easier to digest.

      The same reason why I love Hamlet so much. It opens in the middle of an even bigger crisis than the one happening in the family with an ongoing war and ends with the foreign army approaching the castle. There’s shit going on outside of the story that will affect or has affected the characters, but that’s how life is, too.

    I loved that movie.
    I empathised with Tommy lee Jones character.
    I was a VERY rural Police Chief and had to retire finally due to my health deteriorating and not being able to do the job properly anymore. So I felt his character pretty well.
    I couldnt keep up anymore.

      Your comment made me think: "Fargo" is curiously situated between those two--less overtly comical than "Raising Arizona", but with darkly funny moments, and scary violence, but not has heavy as NCFOM. Still, they manage to get in some great black comedy moments, like Chigur's interaction with the trailer park management lady, or when Moss comes into the western store in his boots & hospital gown (right after the veteran border check guy)...wonderful "light & shade" stuff there...

    I like to think Anton is supposed to be Death.
    That's what I think all the coin tosses are about. The closest Tommy Lee Jones comes to Anton is in the scene at 2:24, where he finds the dime on the ground that Chigurh used to open the vent -- that dime is face up, a heads, the camera does a close up on the coin to show it.

    The ghost / Grim Reaper theory is strengthened by Chigurh's lack of shadow as he drinks milk in the trailer. In a way, the Sheriff fears the end of his life and dreads meeting Chigurh.

    Yes, Bardeen was a devil-like character not a real person. But a Devil-like figure is a common Cohen trope: Blood Simple (Viser), Raising Arizona (Smalls), Miller's Crossing (Bernbaum), Barton Fink (Meadows), Hudsucker Proxy (Aloysius), Fargo (Grossman), Big Lebowski (Treehorn), O Brother (Cooley), The Man Who Wasn’t There (Executioner), Intolerable Cruelty (Myerson), The Ladykillers (Dorr), No Country for Old Men (Chigurh), Burn After Reading (Olsen), A Serious Man (Ableman), Inside Llewyn Davis (Cowboy), Hail, Ceasar! (Smitrovich).

    No Country was the most scared I've ever been in the movie theater, not in Halloween or Silence of the Lambs way where you're scared by what's happening, but in a 3D way, where I thought Chigurh was going to kill us in the theater. When Llewelyn is running from Chigurh after the hotel shootout and he gets in that guy's car and then Chigurh starts pumping bullets into the car, I ducked so low in my seat. And every subsequent bullet made me duck lower because I thought bullets were going to fly out of the screen and hit me.
    That night I was walking up the stairwell at my parents' place and I kept slowing down to try to see around the corner because I thought dude was going to show up.

    I remember hating this movie when I first saw it just because of the killing of Brolin's character off screen. I'm fine with stories where the main protagonists die, in fact some of my favourite films of all time have tragic endings, but not actually showing the death I felt robbed me of some closure with the character. Although unique, I kept thinking "how do you do that? Is that even proper writing?" It would be like if at the end of Saving Private Ryan ***26 YEAR OLD SPOILER ALERT*** instead of actually seeing Tom Hanks' Captain Miller dying we just get it mentioned in a conversation between Matt Damon and Edward Burns' surviving characters.
    Over the years I've rewatched the film many times and came to enjoy it, especially for Javier Bardem who has become one of my favourite and most respected actors, but not being able to see the complete character arch of Moss still bugs me.

      @@JM-cf9xyyeah it’s supposed to make you feel unsatisfied, that’s part of its brilliance. No Country is a modern western that establishes but then subverts genre rules. It’s about society and the world as a whole changing. It is no longer the country that Tommy Lee Jones knew. Based on my interpretation of your point, the kind of movie you want is the old westerns. You wanted the confrontation to occur between Moss and Chigurgh, but that’s the old world, this is the new one. The movie successfully made you feel cheated of a satisfying conclusion, that was the point. If that upsets you, that’s fine, it’s not a movie for you. But most people love the movie because it’s about that very dissatisfaction. It’s more realistic, sure, but it’s also more thematically resonant to have Moss fail, to have the sheriff fail and accept that the old old world is gone.
