Why does Chigurh shoot at the crow on the bridge? This question always comes up. People think it's to show how psychotic he is, that he kills anything, anytime, anywhere. However, crows have long been considered omens of both life and death throughout the world. Flight paths of crows have been read as portents. Chigurh shooting at the crow is perhaps symbolic of his desire to control the fates of those around him. The fact that he misses is symbolic of his inability to fully wrest control from death, nature and God.

2023-05-18 02:19:40 +0000 UTCBiss, I was surprised you either didn't notice or didn't mention the complete absence of any musical score throughout the entire movie. No mood music to create tension or heighten the effects of shocking scenes. The entire thing is pulled off by masterful scene layouts and excellent onscreen performances.

2023-05-17 21:19:50 +0000 UTCI had the same reaction when she first expressed her feelings about drinking milk haha. I thought it was as normal as drinking juice or something but I was wrong lol

2023-05-17 21:16:16 +0000 UTCI'm honestly surprised Biss has such a negative reaction to it. She's of course entitled to hear opinion and there is nothing wrong with it. I'm just like wait what milk is completely normal in the US. The US is not the center of the universe not everyone does things the same way.

2023-05-17 20:56:24 +0000 UTCI love this movie so much. I've seen it so many times until now and it still doesn't feel stale. One aspect that I love is that the film contains virtually no music, which I think enhances the suspense in certain scenes and produces an ominous and thoughtful feeling throughout. I also love the character of Anton Chigurh, because to me he represents Death itself; an inescapable entity that takes life indiscriminately and cannot be reasoned with or avoided (although he does offer some a way out by coin toss, which carries its own interesting philosophical implications). I know several people that saw this movie and were frustrated by the ending scene, which is somewhat understandable to me. I loved it though, because there is deep meaning that can be drawn from Sheriff Bell's description of his dreams; meaning that can be interpreted in different ways, I think. When he says that, in his dream, his father was riding past to light a fire ahead amidst the cold darkness and would be waiting for him, I interpreted it such that Sheriff Bell's experience is that the real world is cold, dark, dangerous, and full of evil. His father in the dream, to me, represents a desperate hopefulness one develops out of necessity when faced with a mysteriously powerful and cruel world. Hope seems to be what kept Sheriff Bell going all this time after experiencing so many disheartening things during his time in law enforcement. But the very last thing he says is, "Then I woke up", with an expression of worry and subtle fear on his face. This ending is very powerful to me because it signifies that Bell's dream, with its strong hopeful promise of a better future, was just a dream with no basis in the real world. I think Bell realizes that maybe all that's waiting for him up ahead is the cold and dark unknown. Anyways, this movie is a 5/5 for me. I'm glad we finally watched a Coen Brothers' film and I hope it's not the last. They are possibly my favorite directors, along with Kubrick. Up there with my favorite screenwriters too. Thank you miss Biss for another great reaction. And sorry everyone for typing a lot. I write a lot when I'm excited or passionate about stuff.
