Chigurh is the ultimate Badass

[rijstevlaai]

He even brought him flowers!

@67marlins The book is exceptional, very easy to read and has that certain "flow" to it, as most of McCarthy's book do. You'll love it.

Don't worry about Chigurh, there are very few people like him on the planet. You're safe.

@ShabbasDragoon Thanks for the explanations, I still hate to see the good guys / girls get killed. I probably will take your suggestion and read the book. My second job is in a package store, and I had visions of Chigurh coming in and asking me to flip a coin.....

[ShabbasDragoon]

Ya'll should read the book, it's quick (you'll finish it in 6-8 hours) and is way better than the movie.

@67marlins Chigurh does gives Moss a chance to save Carla Jean by bringing him the money and allowing himself to be killed.

Moss thinks he can get Chigurh before Chigurh gets him, and he fails, and then Chigurh keeps his word and kills his wife.

Carla Jean and Chigurh have a conversation before he kills her which explains why he is doing it.

And Chigurh gives Carla Jean the chance of the "coin toss," which she looses.

One main point of this story is that there are no "innocents."

@Blackcat5267 Wells is a professional hitman and used to work with Chigurh.

The flowers are a matter of courtesy and since he was visiting a patient in hospital it's natural.

Call it "Southern Hospitality" -- that's just the way they do things down there. Wells is not, however, a "goody guy." One of the main points in this story is that there are no "good guys."

@Varangian1915 No, he isn't. The novel makes reference to "women he [Wells] has known" (as in sexually.)

@67marlins Moss is not killed by Chigurh. He is killed by agents of the heroin cartel who finally catch up to him at the motel room. (The original deal in the desert which went wrong was a heroin deal.)

Chigurh is an independant contractor. He recovers the money from the motel room after Moss and the cartel members are all dead or escaped, and then returns it (minus 100k) to the people in Texas who were using it to buy the heroin in the first place.

@dasdasist No, you have missed the point entirely.

You should read the novel.

It's not "random." Moss found the money in the desert, he took it, and that's what started all of this. Chigurh is attempting to recover the money, that's his main objective. He isn't just killing random people to kill them.

@Blackcat5267 Wow you're neurotic.

[Blackcat5267]

@Varangian1915 He brought him flowers because he is a boss. Men who think "No, I can't bring another guy flowers, that's gay" generally have some insecurity issues. Carson probably brought him flowers (And I would bring a guy friend flowers) because 1. Its hilarious 2. Its a gentlemanly thing to do 3. (And most importantly) He is confident enough to understand that his status as a man is not altered by something as insignificant as a plant. HE IS A BOSS.
