Music editing? THERE WAS NO MUSIC IN THE ENTIRE MOVIE. Okay, maybe 2 seconds of the mariachi band, and that is it.

you're right. I remembered it incorrectly. really amazing that they could make such a big decision not to have music for the entire thing. the sound design with the wind was great. i remember that the most.

Definitely the most amusing god damn reviewer ever.

Though I was thrown off and a little irked by Josh Brolin's death in the film when I was expecting him to kick Sugar's ass, the overall sense of "holy shit this is amazing, how did I not see this theme throughout the first third of the movie" made the movie experience awesome and I'm still thinking about it 2 days later.

thanks dude.

I looked at Chigurh as sort of the embodiment of violence. The reason the deaths are so abrupt is to reinforce the idea that violence can be sudden and very unpredictable (as personified by the coin flipping). *SPOILER* I also think it's very important that Chigurh lived on at the end of the movie because it's symbolic of violence's perpetuality. And I agree with you, the theme of the movie (how violence affects a small town and it's inhabitants) is the main point of the movie, not the plot.

i agree wholeheartedly. good comment, thanks.

the first time i saw this film i didn't like it (like a lot of my favorites) but something compelled me to watch it again like a year later and i loved it.

maybe predisposed to a perfect ending and complete story from beginning to end. but i enjoy watching it so much that i don't care that the ending is exactly picture perfect or w/e.

there is so much to ask about within the story that i always walk away asking myself different questions about it. mccarthy cormac and coen brothers 4 evah!

the 80s weren't shitty..

...and even when he chooses living out his life, there is a huge, almost metaphysical sadness about him. The thought of living out his days, with nothing to look forward to and a life of disappointment behind him, fills him with great, existential sadness. A remarkable film I think.

There are a lot of sound effects though. There is a sort of piece of music during the scene where Moss brings the water back to the Mexican. Just as he spots the truck on the ridge above him, you can hear the sound of Tibetan Prayer Bowls. You get a sound out of them in a sililar way yo get a note out of a wine glass, though you use some sort of mallet rather than your wet finger. Amazing and subliminal sound.

I was shocked that he died at the end.

the STORY IS ABOUT evil AND PANTYHOSE

[TemplarReturns]

Ive always been a fan of the Coens but this film is their marquee style. Original storytellers and great adapters of the hailed McCarthy novel. Adapting a book onto the screen is by no means an easy task. Let me just say that now. The scene where Chigurh and Moss encounter each other for the first time in that shootout was the most nerve wrecking, and dooming sequence. Evil's footsteps outside the hotel door amidst silence, doesnt get no better than that. A classic by every means.

Actually, there was some musical tones in there. The first after where Sheriff Bell says in the beginning " Ok, ill be a part of it." And then when Llewelyn tells the cab driver to keep driving when he notices something in his motel room. Often, ive been into the story that i dont even notice the small amounts of music it contained. :)
