  • It's good to know he was disturbed by it too. It was a disturbing movie.

  • I'm 25 years old, when I was 10 years old I had a nightmare that I'll never forget, A man with a cane and a wooden leg was after me, and he looked EXACTLY like the Chigurh character.

  • Comment removed

  • Toss a Coen, and call it.

  • Dude i can't effin cross my legs like that. Cudos to you chigu... i mean javier

  • I think his "No Country" haircut was actually kinda cool, very 70s

  • Excuse me - great stuff, but why can't you get the sound right? Awful quality!

  • Just like Anthony Hopkins.. Very lil "words" they spoke but, "scared the hell out of us" thats a true artist!! Did their job well!!

  • Why is there only one mic?!?

  • @briealeida That's what I'm saying!

  • Javier Bardem stole the show n another favorite actor was added to my list. nobody else had a chance, No Country For Old Men belongd to Bardem whether he won the Oscar or not. the fact that he was nominated was enough for me yet i felt strongly he would win and he did. that was a happy moment for me.

  • Gimme a tank of compressed air and a shot gun and I can do anything.

  • He became my favourite actor instantly for that interpretation of his role.

  • @winterstellar me too.....in this movie he is perfect....

  • CALL IT?

  • beast of a film. didnt understand the ending though. can anyone enlighten me?

  • @choclatesaltyballz through out the film the sheriff is reflecting on his place in a changing world and how he doesn't 'want to come up against something he doesn't understand' , a reference to bardems character. the book goes into far more detail with these reflections. the very last scene is exactly the same as the book with him remembering his dad who died a long time ago, it doesn't have any thing to do with the story .its just more of these reflections

  • @bowen1966 i didnt know there was a book of it, silly me. i shall buy it and i will understand it properly. thanks anyway mate

  • @choclatesaltyballz listen to bell at the start and listen to what he is saying at the end to his wife

  • Exactly...what he has done in this movie with least amount of expressions is unbelievable...only Al pacino i guess used to do this in his early godfather days...

  • Wow. Javier Bardems character is such a badass.

  • "Compared to what? The bubonic plague?" Love it!

  • great movie but the end was.....don't know if there even was an end .....

  • the thing thats funny is when i try to be serious when i saw this film i kept smirking and chuckling cuz he looked like that guy in the Berrys and Cream Starburst commercial lol

    but GREAt film

  • #OMG film super watсh online or download роор.su

  • Forget the hair. How about the voice?!? I think Javier went to hell and hear what Satan sounds like. : )

  • I thought he had an accent during the gas station clerk questioning segment in no country for old men!

  • 14 people called it tails...

  • What business is of yours where i am from friendo??

  • I'm impressed how i never heard the accent in the movie.

  • That's the classic prom hair(for men) look.

  • I liked his hair because it seemed to fit so perfectly with the fact that he didn't care for the normalcy of those times... so it was like a break through of not caring, if that makes sense.

  • javier reminded me of tommy lee jones in his early movies  with that haircut

  • It´s not because I´m Spanish but... Javier Bardem is the greatest!

  • @NSSAJB why would you qualify your comment with that? No one would have guessed your spanish... you're literate.  see what i did there?

  • anton chigurh is just badass plain and simple

  • His haircut is perfect for the character.

  • But his hair made him even more mysterious! It fitted.

  • His hair wasn't that weird in the movie, I dunno what the fuss was about when it came out.

  • "well i got here the same way the coin did"

  • Javier earned that Oscar!!

  • Interviewers keep asking about the hair, such a lame question.

  • This man could be bald as a rat and still do it for me :)

  • @RockyWhyNot when did you last see a bold rat?

  • i'm gonna get that haircut. its sexy

  • HEEE

  • he definitly had the johnny ramone going on. lol

  • Don't put it in your pocket!

  • lol @ lamosd.  "Could...you...hold still....please..sir?"

  • friend-o.

  • Very well done.  One of my favorite villains.

    He also did a great job as "Felix" on "Collateral" as brief as his role was? It was very well performed.

  • do you believe in santa clause? nor do i, nor do i

  • What a great job he did as anton... bravo mate

  • i like the hair, its similar to my haircut

  • what is his reply to being asked if playing a killer takes a toll on him?

     his full reply? :P?

  • He said, No, it's fiction, but it's not something he especially likes to do.

  • his voice is soo cool.

  • man.... Javier is awesome and awesome in the movie!

  • I punched in Bardem in a Yahoo search hoping to find a shot of that awesome haircut and instead I get a full frontal nudity shot of him strutting down the beach. Great, now instead of an image of that great demonic coif i have one of a shriveled up penis.

  • owned

  • Comment removed

  • ok found it :P

  • the hair cut was suppose to be messed up for visual purposes i think. Its irony to the character, like Ed Gein--hes a weird funny looking guy, who turns out will kill you in the worst way possibly if he can

  • is that irony?

  • i would say so... how i see it is it makes him look less threatening than he really is... personally, his voice is what made the character so overwhelming

  • Ahh definetly! His voice and facial expression or the lack of it is what makes him so crazy. I mean how many people have been able to produce such a scary character. No scary laughs. No crazy makeup, no insane facial expression. Yet you watch this movie and all I could think about is just WOW this guy is just a fucking MONSTER!

  • @Helgi112 True that. The blankness on his face always keeps you guessing, always wondering just what the hell he's thinking. Brilliant film all around.

  • @Helgi112 yeh it's incredible and oddly the strange hair really assists in creating the monster.

  • @Helgi112 No crazy makeup, no insane facial expression, and dont forget no background music on the tension scenes.. Great character..!

  • @Helgi112 thats why i like michael myers

  • @Helgi112 yeah, i just watched the movie this past week and at first i thought, wtf i up with his hair and like is this supposed to be funny, cuz i just started watchin at the coin scene and rewinded it back later cuz i got interesting, and watching the scene, the guy actually scared me a little. i hadnt had that effect from villains for a long time.

  • @Helgi112

    Well, it was also the hairstyle he had and his big eyes that made it creepy. lol. If he had a clean cut look and maybe a friendly looking face but was just as expression-less it wouldn't have been as nearly as creepy.

  • weird, he seems so normal...

  • that is not his worst hair cut.

    You should see him in " perdita durango " " dancing with the devil" in america 1997 that is really the worst

  • i don't agree....the wait and the shots in no country for old men was simply amazing. DOn't get me wrong , Twbb was awesome..but no country was better filmed in my opinion.

  • French? Since when? He's Spanish dumbass.

  • lol thats what i was sayin french?!?! WTF

  • If he can do an American accent as well as he did in the film, I wonder why he doesn't try to speak English off camera, unless he's proud of his Spanish accent.

  • Why should he put on a voice off camera?

  • Yeah, he's not Christian Bale.

  • Maybe because he just wants to be clear and enunciate to the press.

  • His accent comes through a tiny little bit on the film. There's on scene when he's on the phone to Moss, and he says "You know how this is going to end". His Spanish accent is detectable in his pronunciation of "this".

    By his own admission, he says he can't do a good English accent. (He also doesn't like guns or driving.)

  • Well in the book the accent is described as "slightly foreign" so really that's what they were going for.

  • he's also a spanish hitman in the book. he nailed the voice

  • is this surname "Chigurh" Spanish?

  • well he doesn't get to talk very much in this film. as a non-native English speaker i know that this helps a lot. i mean, putting up an accent is way harder in long run. if his character was as talkative as Harrelson's it would be much tougher i believe.

  • Maybe. He didn't talk much because that was his character. In the book hes supposed to come off as being foreign with bit of an accent and to have no expression and to be disconnected from life. So, his accent did him some good

  • I love what Javier said about his hair.

  • Javier can't drive in real life WOW!!

  • There Will Be Blood should have won the Academy Award for best picture imo

  • dont put it in your pocket sir,thats your lucky quarter.

  • mmm javier bardem is deliciously hot

  • yes, it´s insane- penelope cruz is a very lucky lady

  • Call it!!

  • the oscar is not for talented people only. there are many interests behind the scenes and we dont see them. i think javier is just the hottest guy ive ever seen hehehehe

  • your an idiot. shut up.

  • i love hiiiiiim!!!!!!!!!

  • Bardem rocks cuz he can play different characters with totally different personalities. There are few actors who can do that. The others just play themselves being more angry r more lovely, that's it. A real actor changes his eyesight and makes you think eache one of his characters has a different soul. To mask your soul is to act real good.

  • Spot on!

  • my brothers girlfriend cut my hair and now i look like that character!!! :(

  • haha your girlfriend wins

  • Hehe, no shit

  • lol. I like how you call people "idiot" when your poorly constructed sentence shows that you are an asinine fool.

  • I say he is idiot because I'm spanish and I know how he is, and it is my opinion or can't I have an opinion? the same you think he i snot I think he is and so what? and well my sentence you idiot, it is not poorly constructed it was just short but I don't think you knoe the difference since u are such a fool who only like to critisise and who don't respect others opinions.

  • actually it should be "he is so idiotic." but i am honestly sorry that i offended you. i apologize.

  • ok I accept your apologises and im happy u wrote me

  • go and eat some frijoles u illiterate

  • yes yes you are who eat beans all the time since you don't have anything else, bye and eat your beans byeee

  • here's an idea, how's about you go home and learn not to be a racist bigot, go out, and make some friends rather than bashing people far more talented than you on youtube, you ignorant fuckwit.

  • yea hilarious "mocking" comments. real high brow stuff.

  • why are they so fascinated with his hair?to me the acting was just like nothing ive ever seen!

  • No kidding. His character was a pure psychopath and carried off brilliantly.

  • def. absolutley no remorse. the best villian we've seen in years.

  • ACTUALLY,Coen`s hair is a close second!

  • Bardem = ultimate badass......friend-o.

  • LoL... He's the next Al Pacino, Robert Dinero...A real actor...

  • his haircut reminded me of johnny depp as willy wonka lol but that dosent matter he was fucking awesome in that movie a veryyyyyy creepy villain for sure! best movie ever.

  • @nikkimassacre19 Javier would make the best willy wonka, and at the end, nobody gets the chocolate D:

  • How much have you lost in a coin toss?

  • Yeah, I noticed that too. He does look like Clive Owen...I'm kidding, he looks nothing like him. You have a talent there don't waste it...

  • Terminator+Two-Face = THIS GUY!

  • your right!!!! I think the same!!!

  • I think the awful haircut just made the role. Javier Bardem's acting is amazing, but I think he would have been less intimidating if he had looked like his usual hot self. The weird hair added to the creepiness of the character.

  • Yeah, it's like, you wanna laugh at him, but you dare not do it.

  • I was even a bit afraid he might find me in the theatre if I chuckled

  • That made me lol.

  • check out SOMETIMES the movie - teaser trailer

  • WTF ther is now movie named like that you fat fuck!!!

  • What would YOU do if Anton "Sugar" is after YOU, with his arsenel of Airguns, SIlencers, his dark leather, his do, is sadistic voice, and most deadly of all, his coin..?????????????

  • I would go to an abandoned hovel in some mountains, wear a gigantic bomb under my clothes, set it up to blow when I die. And then, finally, wait.

    I can't stop what's coming, so might as well TAKE IT TO HELL WITH ME BWAHAHAHAHA ahem.

  • Xavier Bardem looks a bit like Clive Owen.

  • Yeah, but the film is also about how Chigur (Bardem) represents the randomness and cruelty of life in general. He kills people on a whim or with luck by a coin toss, no mercy or decision. And also how the old farmer says "You can´t stop whats coming".

    I still don´t understand the significance of the two dreams the sherriff recounts at the end though.

  • The story isn't about the killer and the man who takes the money.  It's about the sheriff being unable to move forward and comprehend this new sort of evil: a man who is the complete manifestation of our capitalist america. So, try reading the book or understanding the movie and its premise and you'll realize how much your comments are wrong :(.

  • Javier played his role way to well. He scares the shyt out of me LOL. Fuck all that money if hes on my ass

  • i know! by far the creepiest villain in any film i've seen, not just because he's insane but because of the way he thinks.

  • oh man, no kidding that crap

  • friendo

  • there. you said it.

  • he is funny!!! ha ha ha

  • he is great in everything he does ! love him!

  • Javier played a villain that Charles Bronson and

    Clint Eastwood would have loved to shoot !!!!

    What a role !!!!!!!!!

  • Javier is a player

    wats up bro,

    Josh too getting diane lane

    any guy wants to get with that

  • bardem is a bard

    would he bang penelope again

    nice guy

  • this be the greatest movie ever made, very good casting for Bardem

  • freakin awesome film. watched it 3 times and still wanna watch it again.

  • how does javioer fit into the story? why is he after the money? how does he know the mexican drug deal

  • The guy in the office hired him. He finances drug deals.

  • I loved the movie, my only gripe is that we didn't see how Josh dies.

  • brolin gets gunned down after he shoots one of the mexicans

  • You can't be sure, maybe it was Javier, the lock had been shot out in that room.

  • javier returned to the scene of the crime again, the cops talk about how he had done it before, thats why ed tom bell goes back to the motel on suspricion that he might return to the scene, and it turns out he is there but he doesn't come out of the closet or out from behind the door i couldn't tell exactly where he was hiding

  • that still doesn't tell us who killed him

  • you didn't see the truck full of mexicans speed off and then a dieing mexican right in front of brolin's door?

  • Yes, and did you not just say Javier returns to the scene of the crime? How do you know the mexicans and Javier weren't both there?

  • javier doesn't have partners or anything like that he seems like the lone wolf type... and the mexicans could have been hired to kill him by javier... he might not have wanted another one on one showdown after what josh did to his leg

  • Javier hiring people!?!?!? No way

    Firslty the mexicans are after their money

    Secondly as Javier says 'You choose the right tool for the job' meaning himself

  • I think they were showing what Tommy Lee Jones was seeing in his head. I think he was long gone by that point.

  • Thank you for posting this! It's funny, the first time I watched the movie I wasn't sure if I liked it, but once I gave it some thought it became one of my favorite films.

  • Ah, the Prince Valiant haircut.

  • THI IS ACTALY THE FIRST TIME IV'E SEEN, Louielen and Anton not chasin each other lmao.

  • jwallbanger has a point,people like to escape in movies,to block out the harsh real world,and just to have a laugh.

    At the same time,there are more than too many movies with the good guy walking into the sunset,and everything turns out perfect.This movie is'nt entirley the opposite,but it still adds a realistic touch to the "Happily Ever After" Cliche.

    In my opinion,this is a masterpiece,Bardem is the most terrifying badass since De Niro.

  • "im not going to be laid for 3 months" hilarious

  • ease up there ebert. your the only person in world who finds the cohen brothers predictable. it's always a predictable movie when the good charachters are killed off and the bad guy lives. who are you trying kid.....big bullshitter

  • oh for gods sake read the book...

  • Sa näed välja kui Rakvere Rambo, kare ja karastund mees,

    kuid selles mehises kestas närvilise vanamuti süda on sees.

    Väike solvund hing ja süda viha täis, keha vappumas kompleksides.

    Tilluke ajuke, rusikad suuremad, ego on suuremgi veel.

    Enesetähtsus rõhumas õlgu, nii et hing püsib vaevu sees.

    Sa vaata peeglisse, ja jäta nägu meelde, see mees on süüdi sinu vaevades.

    Võta asju naerulsui, ära kohe solvu, kui keegi väidab, et nikkus sinu ema.
