  • i think i've come up with a thematic truth behind all of these moments of the film: dialectics. the concept is new to me but as an absolute villain he leaves this woman free from harm because she doesn't present herself with any fear of victimization thus being the antithesis (victim) to his thesis (villain). her assertive repetition of the rule and forward gesture of posture are the most combatively succesful acts that anyone makes in the film. if she were timid like the gas station clerk he w

  • @DAVIDVINCENTDURING What you propose makes sense, but if so, why was Josh Brolin's character so unsuccessful, after all ?

  • lol That old fat lady ain't taking no shit. She doesn't even get scared.

    Does anyone else think Anton respected this (even though it pissed him off)? I dunno, maybe I just think too much.

  • No.  He's a psychopath.

  • The dialogue in this film is the best I have seen in a LONG time. I could listen to all day. It freaks me the hell out sometimes, especially when Javier is on the screen. And this thing with him having some sort of code he goes by is bullshit. He is a psychopath down to the very last bone and trying to understand why he kills some and spares others is like trying to understand the meaning of life, its impossible hehe

  • Helgi112 I agree totally. Great dialogue, great phrasing, and even the waits/cadence, by all characters. And this IS a psychopath...no need to over-think him / romanticize a nut.

  • whether he respected it or not, Sherriff Bell mentions later in the movie about a woman behind a desk being killed, when listing the murders anton committed

  • Bardem is God. No evil laughs, No makeup, Not a particularly scary face and yet a fucking monster.

  • Anyone else find it ironic that out of all the people that encountered chigurh they died except for the sheriff and the guy at the gas station but the sheriff was just lucky as shit and the guy at the gas station earned it and I suppose was lucky as well. Yet this fat lady just taunted and insulted the grim reaper right in his face and she didn't get killed. Also lucky I suppose since the toilet flushed.

  • He only spared her because she wasn't alone and it would get too messy. You can try to dissect the encounter with a ton of fancy words all you want, but thats how it is. Heads or tails?

  • Perfectly cast and perfectly played. Though I can't say I was there, at the time, this is precisely what a tough-old-broad trailer park manager would act like -- I love how she says, "I ain't at liberty to give out no information" -- she knows the law (or maybe its simply their policy), and mixes a legal-speak cliche with her natural manner of casual English. Also, when she first refuses him -- I may be over-reading this, but it looks to me like Chigurh is slightly taken aback. Its his eyes.

  • @DAVIDVINCENTDURING Josh brolin's character did have protaginistic qualities, remember after he stole the money he did come back to give the dying drug dealer water.

  • lol, people dont realize that he didnt kill her because there was someone else in the room. if you turn the volume up a bit, youll hear a toilet flushing. thats why he turned his head for a second...haha

  • @Aleowiciuos yeah, a random citizen versus someone who is a trained killer.

  • This is where the movie would have ended. Had this really been Texas that lady would have been packing heat below her desk and blown a hole through Anton when he came back with his little piston thingie.

  • @DAVIDVINCENTDURING

    Actually- he is a spector of death. Movie/book based on greeks.

  • @DAVIDVINCENTDURING When I started wondering about this there were two scenes that really shine through - (1) Llewelyn pays for the shirt off of a man's back (2) Anton pays for the shirt off of a child's back. In this variation of similar actions of the characters we see a commonality to them that when juxtaposed puts them on the same level. As a contrast however, Anton offers to buy a kid's shirt which purposefully shows his sense of derangement that sets him aside from other bad asses.

  • @mrpentium I think it's cause Josh Brolin isn't necessarily a good guy or a protagonist. As a gun toting thief he has characteristics of being a bad guy. Compared to Anton, Llewelyn is the good guy but they might as well be two sides of the same coin. A look into Ed's character being sensitive to his wife contrasts Llewelyn's indifference to his wife.

    The exciting thing is how he refuses to be the antithesis to Anton's villainy
