Marcia obviously loved this movie and can't admit it. Look at how much she modeled her hair after anton chigurh's

You people are missing a lot of what the movie is about, for example you can't control destiny, that's what the coin symbolized and that what Anton was emphasizing throughout the film. OLD GEEZERS!

Oh, I almost forgot. Scariest western villain=Frank.

I liked the concepts but Cormac McCarthy had one big problem. A problem that is many times ascerted with that "postmodernism". Obscure happenings. It's easy to write like that but you don't have to be good at it. The film also lost the little amount of character the book had. There seemed to be no drive. Tommy Lee Jones should have been in more of it.

@tjenkins83 Mythic in how movies show it. Indeed, I've been to Texas, Arizona, and New Mexico and I sure didn't see any myth.

You are saying that the Anton Chigurh character didn't have any motivation, like if it was a flat character. The thing here is, this is a Coen Bros. movie. They do know about storytelling and characters more than 90% of moviemakers. They did choose to make Chigurh a villain that comes out of nowhere and behaves chaotically, it is impossible to know what he is going to do and why.

That is pure terror, and justifies the title of the movie. No country for old men.

"Mythic" west? You guys need to get out more. Spend a week in southern Arizona (outside of the retirement village) and then tell us how mythic the modern west is.

I dont understand how it can be viewed anton chigurh as being unmotivated. I think that aspect is very simple, Chigurh is a hired bounty hunter and his motivation is retrieving the case full of money for a client. Although he is psychopathic and his character is ultimately used as a symbol of meaning, i think his human presence and vulnerability is also conveyed just as well in a few examples like the car crash near the end and the leg wound he takes from moss in the hotel shootout.

@blaklodge ha!

The reason Llewelyn and Carla Jean die off screen is to demonstrate how unimportant they are in the grand scheme of all things.
