Was the Anton Chigurh character based on the Prophet Mohammed?

Nihilism+ Mocking Yokels+Black Humor+Shooting Characters in the Face= Coen Brothers Movie.
-
@jeffmangumisgood You're giving them WAYYY too much credit. They read a book, loved it, and adapted it into a movie with magnificent ability. That's it. Their original ideas are usually just social commentary.

@LynnJynh9315 Wow fuck you asshole
-
@LynnJynh9315 but that's the point to coen brothers movies. their movies are more about ideas and universal philosophies rather than specific human characters. the physical human characters play a larger role, an underlying meaning that you should be able to pick up on if you have studied ancient philosophy or have any intelligence on the matter whatsoever. that's the biggest issue with the coen's, people don't get that they aren't making normal movies. they are philosophy teachers.

Did you just stumble on one of the main themes in the movie there smarty pants?
-
@basehead617 really? I've always seen them laughing. Especially Ethan. He's the giggler.
-
i think that's the only time i've seen either of them laugh

By far, one of the worst films I've ever seen. Killing off the only character anyone gave a **** about in the most inglorious death ever, and then pretend it's ironic by having the most boring character monologue about nothing... absolutely disgraceful.

I believe this was one of the best adaptations of a book to film I've ever seen. Excellent work! The Coen brothers are simply amazing! They might be socially awkward but who cares? They sure are geniuses.

The book is brilliant and the film is fantastic. As Mr Coen says "The film is very faithful to the novel." I highly recommend both in no particular order as they are each their own.
