@MrNobby14 This takes place in a backwoods small town. I bet there is only three cars in the entire town that are that fancy. xD That's whats so scary to me in this film, the feeling of being so hopeless and alone even though there are people every where.
@thinlizzybone is about how money doest not know who is the good, the bad or the ugly in this case the crazy one, for that matter, shows the unrestrained persuit of easy money to any cost.
Shouldn't have went back to the crime scene. Others would go looking. A witness was already bad enough, now his truck.
Make sure illegal money isn't tracked and spend it wisely in case it's marked. Check and move it to another bag and place. When you find a tracker, get rid of it right away.
Move it to an offshore account, cover any trails, and flee the country if they're after you.
Shotgun click and sitting right in front of door = No no.
@FortitudeOfHeaven The only reason he went back to the desert where the crime scene was because of that guy who was asking for water. It was bothering Moss that he didnt help him. Thats why you see him fill up the plastic jug.
josh is a great actor. but Moss was a dumb guy in this movie. 1st he does the dumbest of things =decides to go back out to desert with water at 4am ?! Here he sits right in front of a door where he expects someone to come into- instead of sitting to the side a bit. Moss aint' no smart guy.
@MissTeenPregnancy Moss is human.If Moss don´t go back to the crimescene,there´s no plot.And in the end,that humanity that got him killed.Sitting infront of the door was him deciding to deal with the problem and not run,not knowing if there was one or 12 guys.Bonuspoints for balls.Who is gonna expect your opponent to have something that shoots out the doorbolt?He still handled the rest pretty smart,combatwise.Leaving the money in the truck and hiding immediately.Anton jumped in the nick of time.
I wanted to see another epic shootout with Anton and Moss with Anton being killed but no.....Moss has to be killed OFF CAMERA! That was the worst part of the film. It was good though, always left you unexpected of what was about to happen.
I know it seems like he is from another universe,being practically omnipotent but...Chigurh missed.Yes...aimed for Moss,most likely...he didnt have a scope and he wasn´t 15 feet away so I dont get the problem people having with him missing.He miss constantly in this scene,how many bullets does he throw away,15?Not a bullet hit Moss.Moss must´ve picked up something in Nam cause once he decides to shoot,he hits his mark.Not lethal but still..nice turning of the tables and an intense scene.
It was an adaptation and when u make one,you should bring some of your artistic touch to the script n film,make something your own..n guess thats what they did.The Coen brothers,although accossionallygreat are so cynical and in many ways the storys are hollow n u cant care about anyone...and here,they could have shown Moss go down at thesame time as Bell was on his way,could´ve been a great scene..but theyre so cynic,people dont matter in their stories so they just stuck to Moss´s sucky demise.
@Ninety9Soulz Yes,agreed.This faceoff showed that when up against eachother Moss can hold his own against Chigurh,so a 2nd confrontation between the 2 might not been necessary.So the mexicans find him at the Motel,ok,he most likely kills one off them before dying ok..but show it! Dont switch places with protagonists n tell it from Bells point of view all the sudden n turn Moss into just another victim.TLJ n Bardem got noms for supporting..n despite dying 25min before the end,Brolin was the lead?
@Ninety9Soulz That's the point. The Coen Brothers did this on purpose to steer away from the typical Action movie expectations that a desensitised audience would expect. They only show the shocking aftermath of what really happens following a shootout.
This film was fun to watch, can't take my eyes off the screen since the beginning. The suspense itself was superb. What other films similar to this would you suggest? New or old, just want to watch something while I'm far away from home
One of the best movies I have seen in recent years. Suspenseful, wonderful acting, perfectly paced storytelling, and a bittersweet ending which is perfectly appropriate to end it. It officially made me a Coen Brothers fan.
For those of you watching who don't live in the US. I want you to know this is what it's like EVERY night in Texas. We live like this , fighting for our very lives constantly on the run grabbing bags of money and shooting at eachother and we wouldn't have it any other way !
Two things about this scene. One, why didn't Moss just throw the tracer out the window? Wouldn't that have eliminated the chance of Chigur finding Him? I would have done it. Two, why did he stand right in front of the door? Why didn't he stand on the side of the door and wait for Chigur to come and and THEN blast Him?
@dmarkj22 But the main logical flaw on this otherwise great scene is why Chigurh shot the driver instead of Moss when he had the perfect chance for an aimed shot. There´s no explanation for this.
Chigurh maybe one of the only villians you never see running which is great. I like it to how it appears at points like Moss is being shot at by a ghost.
the way the bullets collided with the glass...really brought home how dangerous the atmosphere was. Consider other movies where bullets spray like water and hit nothing but air. But here, the bullets firing felt real. Just an amazingly well executed scene.
I had never really noticed before that when Chigurgh shoots the truck driver, he had the opportunity to shoot Moss but instead chose to put the driver out of his misery. When Chigurgh had to either accomplish his mission or show mercy, he chose mercy at the expense of his mission, which is interesting.
@Fidosim its also interesting that his air pistol is a gun that they used to slaughter animals with that stunned them before they bled out so the animals wouldnt be in misery. Its interestingt that a character like Chigurgh would eb equipped with a weapon that would make death quicker
Lew Moss proved to be a pretty smart operator, considering he had just basic soldier skills,it was only overwhelming numbers against him which brought him low--
the anti-climax of the ending is the point. there are no big heroic showdowns anymore, not in the modern day when this much money is at stake. just send a bunch of guys with automatic weapons
I CREATED THE ONLY RELIABLE FULL-AUTO RUGER 10/22 .22LR SUB MACHINE GUN ON THIS EARTH. We are living in the 'golden age' of firearm design & modification. Look at this wild thing on my YouTube video. I sell a DVD video that explains an easy way to convert any semi-auto RUGER 10/22 .22LR rifle into a true full-auto. *All other RUGER full-auto conversions suffer from 'bolt-bounce / light-strikes' that cause many malfunctions. My conversion has been proof tested with no malfunctions.
I dont understand why the Coen's have to kill Josh Brolin in all there movies...first this movie then True Grit!! lol he has gotta feel bad...first killed by a man who is a symbolism of the devil, then by a little 14 year old girl. Well atleast he doesn't die like a bitch in the movies =]
The Coen brothers are absolute true masters of cinema. I cant get enough of their movies, and this movie is beyond words, how good and well done it is.
I just cant get past the horrible last part of the movie. I know its supposed to be all clever and interpretative and according to the book. but I cant help feeling disappointed after seeing such a gripping and intense scene like moss' and chigurh's showdown, and then have it fade out into some random string of events that all add up to the most anti-climatic ending I have seen in a movie
There are five reasons why this sequence is amazing:
1. No music
2. Natural, realistic lighting that is also ominous
3. Perfect pacing in regard to the editing
4. You never leave Moss' perspective
5. Great acting
All 5 of those things are done on purpose. And each one of them compliments another. And this is one of the greatest movies ever made because every scene has just as much thought and effort put into it as this one does. One of the best EVER and EASILY my favorite movie ever.
@randomdude1138 I agree man. My favorite movie of the decade. Not a second is wasted in this film. The pace and tone of the film is even throughout creating a perfect rhythm. That combined with the amazing use of great actors, set design, sound design and lighting creates one of my favorite movies of all time.
@randomdude1138 funny thing about top comments and personal lists, i bet you get alot of "well...." and "sure but.." dont ya? lol, now here comes mine. moss' perspective changes when he lays in wait for anton, and it switches for a short second to anton's.
dont ya love comments that shit all over your parade? and have no relation to what you're trying to say?
It changes to Anton's perspective briefly near the end so that he can escape alive. So that when he dodges Moss' shot, it seems more believable because we know he saw the blood tracks on the ground leading away from the wreck. Not to mention the obvious parallels to the earlier shot of Moss tracking that animal through the desert.
So yes, you're right - it does change to Anton's perspective, however briefly. But it was for a purpose =)
They probably changed this around from the book, because Moss is too much of a god damned retard during this scene. WHY THE FUCK, DIDN'T YOU SHOOT HIM! WHY!? WHY!? WHY!? WHY!? He's a hit man... not a friendo. Oh, and WAY TO NOT CHECK FOR ADDITIONAL WEAPONS.
I'm a teenage girl and I freakin love this movie. I watched the entire thing by myself, alone, in the dark, with the volume at max. It was so intense I thought I'd faint.
This is simply an amazing film. Everything about this movie is perfect. The grittyness,the mood,the right amount of memorable humor,the tension,it's all so perfect.
I have the shotgun Josh Brolin uses, except mine is the trench model with the heatshield, bayonet lug, and sling swivels. Awesome and reliable weapon!
Why didn't he just shoot through the door if he saw the guy's shadow right by his door at 3:00??? I'm sure it would've went right through the door and gotten him.
@PrUnEJuIcEtHeThIrD well, watch 3:25; he shot at the door and it didn't go through, just splintered the door. but besides that, i don't think he was willing to shoot until he was pretty sure he wouldn't be taking an innocent life, even if his gut was telling him (correctly) that it was the guy who was after him. anton, of course, wouldn't have hesitated...
Wow this movie is quiet, even in the most intense moments. I wonder why they didn't put Background music or Ambient sounds? And why such a secluded town in the middle of southern Texas?
@aspottedcheetta The fact that they didn't use music just makes it even more intense. Silence is scary and this movie doesn't need music to tell the viewer how to feel.
I mean, think about it. 0:18 : Obviously using the Sitrep perk. 1:00 : The Hotel Manager didn't have his headset on. 2:10 : Getting intense, Moss has to camp. 2:41 : Chigurh noobing the heart beat sensor. 2:53 : Chigurh obviously cheated, using Turtle Beach ear phones to enhance sound. 3:21 : Hit marker! 3:24 : See, if he had FMJ, he would've been fine. 3:33 : Commando Pro. 3:47 : Team mate timed out. 4:00 : HIT MARKER! 4:09 : Pain Killer 5:08 : Last Stand 6:52 : Steady Aim+FMJ :D
im starting to think that the reason this movie is so good is because there is no background music, therefore, people can put more attention to whats going on in the movie, also the characters do not overreact
@capitanconchapeluda absolutely! I don't think a lot of people/realize or appreciate this. It is especially jarring because the Coen brothers are usually so skilled with integrating music into scenes and it is such a hallmark of theirs.
@capitanconchapeluda Background music can make a moment in a movie truly amazing and send great emotion to the audience. But in some cases, this being one, silence is the perfect score.
@capitanconchapeluda dude your a genius i dont care whether it is true or not. if you noticed ever that during the release of this movie there were some dissapointed viewers because they saw this movie and just thought it was dull, had no emotion, few words, and a ton of killing. I think in movies like these, there are expectations of thematic messages and symbolic pieces to go along with the movie. Background music always made those messages more clear.no music made film more fucking beastly.
@jegspillerpiano more often than not, having no soundtrack will probably kill the movie, it's a testament to how great the coens are that they know when to completely pull out the soundtrack and have a near silent movie
@drummerjoe2610 you make a good point, but as a rule the better the script is the less the need for invasive music. Good music can enhance a movie for sure, and bring out it's style and quality but should be used at opportune moments and not to fill the voild of incompetant writing (or no 'writing' at all, as so often it seems)
@jegspillerpiano I have to disagree, I find that rule one you'll rarely be able to apply, considering the extremely memorable scores on brilliantly scripted films like the godfather, there will be blood, the 400 blows, and 8 1/2.
@jegspillerpiano now i disagree it does EMPHASIZE scenes. why else would people make movies and pay artists thousands of dollars to create music for a scene if it wouldnt bring it out. silence works with some films if you added music to this it would kick ass
@capitanconchapeluda I agree. The only real music at all is during the credits. The lack of music, particularly in scenes like this one, help to make the scenario even more tense.
@capitanconchapeluda Yeah, The idea to put no music was Ethan Coen's idea. Joel Coen was a little skeptical about it but all in all it worked out really well. Read this on Wikipedia so take with a grain of salt.
NOTHING IS SCARIER!

All 5 of those things are done on purpose. And each one of them compliments another. And this is one of the greatest movies ever made because every scene has just as much thought and effort put into it as this one does. One of the best EVER and EASILY my favorite movie ever.

@randomdude1138 I agree man. My favorite movie of the decade. Not a second is wasted in this film. The pace and tone of the film is even throughout creating a perfect rhythm. That combined with the amazing use of great actors, set design, sound design and lighting creates one of my favorite movies of all time.

@randomdude1138 funny thing about top comments and personal lists, i bet you get alot of "well...." and "sure but.." dont ya? lol, now here comes mine. moss' perspective changes when he lays in wait for anton, and it switches for a short second to anton's.
dont ya love comments that shit all over your parade? and have no relation to what you're trying to say?
InterRage 7 months ago
@InterRage Yes, I do. lol.
It changes to Anton's perspective briefly near the end so that he can escape alive. So that when he dodges Moss' shot, it seems more believable because we know he saw the blood tracks on the ground leading away from the wreck. Not to mention the obvious parallels to the earlier shot of Moss tracking that animal through the desert.
So yes, you're right - it does change to Anton's perspective, however briefly. But it was for a purpose =)

Poot driver. He didn't any evil thing. But He killed by Anton. Even if He didn't say anything!
hattu99 1 year ago
They probably changed this around from the book, because Moss is too much of a god damned retard during this scene. WHY THE FUCK, DIDN'T YOU SHOOT HIM! WHY!? WHY!? WHY!? WHY!? He's a hit man... not a friendo. Oh, and WAY TO NOT CHECK FOR ADDITIONAL WEAPONS.

Why didn't he just shoot through the door if he saw the guy's shadow right by his door at 3:00??? I'm sure it would've went right through the door and gotten him.
PrUnEJuIcEtHeThIrD 1 year ago
@PrUnEJuIcEtHeThIrD well, watch 3:25; he shot at the door and it didn't go through, just splintered the door. but besides that, i don't think he was willing to shoot until he was pretty sure he wouldn't be taking an innocent life, even if his gut was telling him (correctly) that it was the guy who was after him. anton, of course, wouldn't have hesitated...

Wow this movie is quiet, even in the most intense moments. I wonder why they didn't put Background music or Ambient sounds? And why such a secluded town in the middle of southern Texas?
aspottedcheetta 1 year ago
@aspottedcheetta The fact that they didn't use music just makes it even more intense. Silence is scary and this movie doesn't need music to tell the viewer how to feel.

KINGJRDOG 1 year ago
im starting to think that the reason this movie is so good is because there is no background music, therefore, people can put more attention to whats going on in the movie, also the characters do not overreact
capitanconchapeluda 1 year ago 97
@capitanconchapeluda absolutely! I don't think a lot of people/realize or appreciate this. It is especially jarring because the Coen brothers are usually so skilled with integrating music into scenes and it is such a hallmark of theirs.

@capitanconchapeluda Background music can make a moment in a movie truly amazing and send great emotion to the audience. But in some cases, this being one, silence is the perfect score.

@capitanconchapeluda dude your a genius i dont care whether it is true or not. if you noticed ever that during the release of this movie there were some dissapointed viewers because they saw this movie and just thought it was dull, had no emotion, few words, and a ton of killing. I think in movies like these, there are expectations of thematic messages and symbolic pieces to go along with the movie. Background music always made those messages more clear.no music made film more fucking beastly.

@jegspillerpiano more often than not, having no soundtrack will probably kill the movie, it's a testament to how great the coens are that they know when to completely pull out the soundtrack and have a near silent movie
drummerjoe2610 1 year ago
@drummerjoe2610 you make a good point, but as a rule the better the script is the less the need for invasive music. Good music can enhance a movie for sure, and bring out it's style and quality but should be used at opportune moments and not to fill the voild of incompetant writing (or no 'writing' at all, as so often it seems)
jegspillerpiano 1 year ago
@jegspillerpiano I have to disagree, I find that rule one you'll rarely be able to apply, considering the extremely memorable scores on brilliantly scripted films like the godfather, there will be blood, the 400 blows, and 8 1/2.
drummerjoe2610 1 year ago
@jegspillerpiano now i disagree it does EMPHASIZE scenes. why else would people make movies and pay artists thousands of dollars to create music for a scene if it wouldnt bring it out. silence works with some films if you added music to this it would kick ass

@capitanconchapeluda That is so true. It used to be very common in older movies, which is what made them so frightening, etc.

@capitanconchapeluda I agree. The only real music at all is during the credits. The lack of music, particularly in scenes like this one, help to make the scenario even more tense.

@capitanconchapeluda Yeah, The idea to put no music was Ethan Coen's idea. Joel Coen was a little skeptical about it but all in all it worked out really well. Read this on Wikipedia so take with a grain of salt.
