2024-02-22 06:17:39 +0000 UTCIn the book, Chigurh got the money, and returned it to the top people who made the deal (Stephen Root's bosses). And, yes, Anton killed Carla Jean.

2022-09-03 08:02:46 +0000 UTCIt is the same hotel, I believe, because the whole thing takes place in this very small geographical radius. Honestly, though, that scene takes place at least 24 hours, maybe 48 hours later. Wouldn't actually shock me that a fancy hotel wouldn't just shut down over a murder taking place in the lobby. What do they do, kick all the other guests out? Out of how many rooms?

2022-08-08 02:25:46 +0000 UTCI know you already know how excited I am, but I really can't wait for Blood Simple, Miller's Crossing, and The Man Who Wasn't There someday. I feel like you guys are going to flip out when you see these movies and think about the fact that nobody talks about them in comparison to the "big" Coen titles. They're all incredible. (I'm also equally excited for Raising Arizona, The Hudsucker Proxy, Burn After Reading, and A Serious Man, but No Country being one of their thrillers means those are the ones that come to mind first, watching this, moreso than the comedies -- I'm thinking about tone, not quality.)

2022-08-08 02:17:45 +0000 UTCSo sad that Stephan Root still didn't get his stapler back in this one.

2022-08-07 11:39:13 +0000 UTCI've just realised that you're accidentally watching a series of films about bags of money causing chaos: Fargo, Oscar, and now No Country For Old Men. Let's keep the theme going with Sam Raimi's A Simple Plan!
Future Boy
2022-08-07 08:53:57 +0000 UTCDefinitely watch "Hell or High Water". Even though it's not by the Coen Brothers, it certainly feels like one of theirs.
David Martin
2022-08-07 06:16:02 +0000 UTCWow, I chalk this one up to your best reactions to day. The tension was almost palpable. I didn't even realize how outstanding this movie is despite having it in my collection for years and watching it at least once a year. Thanks for this experience 🙏🏼 I'd love to see your reaction to The Road, another Cormac McCarthy adaptation starring Viggo Mortensen, Charlize Theron and Kodi Smit-McPhee.

David Lengyel
2022-08-07 05:53:31 +0000 UTCThis ×1000! When the reaction is done, I usually have to do some homework, but I listen to the discussion as if it was some kind of podcast. The longer the better and I enjoy every second of it. Sometimes I even wish there was a chance to join the discussion. Great stuff and arguably the best post-reaction footage out there. Thanks for doing that Schmitt's 🤙🏼

2022-08-07 05:47:25 +0000 UTCThis was a great reaction. Hand over her face Sam is the best. The movie does not want to be traditional genre chase movie with good guys finding and then killing bad guys. No matter what Sheriff Bell (Tommy Lee Jones) did or didn't do with his life, Anton Chigurh will still be out there. In the beginning he talks about comparing himself to the old timers, and in the end he is still dreaming about his father. Was the past that different from now? When he talks to his friend in the wheelchair, they talk about some violent murder that happened in 1909. In the past, in 1980 when this movie takes place, or even now, Chigurh out there. Evil is out there. You can't stop what's coming. But just as Sheriff Bell's father and Sheriff Bell himself try to fight it, the next generation will as well. Young men and young women will have to change and adapt to whatever version of Anton Chigurh comes next. Things will never stay the way it used to be. This is not a country for old men.

2022-08-06 20:58:16 +0000 UTCY'all should watch "Hell or High Water" with Jess Bridges as a sheriff in same are of Texas. Not as good as this movie but still pretty good. And on the plus side it has the same actress who played the motel clerk...in a VERY memorable scene...just be prepared to make a choice...GREEN BEANS or CORN ?

2022-08-06 14:58:30 +0000 UTCMy all-time favorite comic book. It's finally been adapted into a series (and it's @#$%&!ing awesome).
Steve Mercier
2022-08-06 13:38:52 +0000 UTCI don't really watch the outros for any other reactors, but the outros on this channel are excellent. I love them as much as the reactions themselves. Listening to in-depth, passionate, fun conversations about things I love, by reactors I love, is such a treat. The reaction and outro for No Country were as fantastic as I'd hoped they'd be. My excitement could not be higher for the upcoming reactions/outros for The Sopranos!
Future Boy
2022-08-06 11:51:30 +0000 UTCThere is a lot of symbolism in Cormac McCarthy novels. I always felt that Chigurh was symbolic of fate. Fate is unstoppable, relentless, and is a product of the decisions you make + luck. That's why he killed Carla Jean in the end, because her husband made his decision. He tells her the coin toss is the best he can do. And it's why he did not kill the sheriff at the hotel, and in fact, almost seems to disappear. Almost like fate is watching over the sheriff but its not his time yet. Its also why he keeps talking about how he and the coin arrived to people the same way. I could be totally be reading into it though. idk. There are a few other movies based on McCarthy novels that are really good. All the Pretty Horses, The Road, and The Counselor (which has the most brutal death scene I've ever seen). They are all excellent movies.

2022-08-06 08:45:45 +0000 UTCIt is a Sequel of "The Fugitive " ... Without Harrison Ford but with a Great Wesley Snipes and a Perfect Tommy Lee Jones ;)
Florian Meier
2022-08-06 07:32:55 +0000 UTCThis was a Great Reaction !!! Love This Movie !!! This was The Role of His Life of Javier Bardem !! Well Deserved Oscar !!! I Also Love Tommy Lee Jones in This !!! You have to watch "US Marshalls" from 1998
Florian Meier
2022-08-06 07:28:53 +0000 UTCAnother great reaction. The ending of this one seems to be the sticking point for some people who don't like it. Each time I see this I notice new things I missed before. This time it was when the lady by the pool asks what else he's looking out his window for and Lewellyn says something about him looking for what's coming and the lady replies with "Yeah.. but no one ever sees that." I know there were more reasons for not showing the Desert Sands shootout, but I liked that dialogue. So many little things. This movie came out the same year that Bardem was chosen as one of the 100 sexiest movie stars of all time.

2022-08-06 07:08:47 +0000 UTCYou're so right, I think most people really hate ambiguous endings haha, but I love it when a movie kind of challenges us to think for ourselves if we want any kind of resolution, it's a bold move, but that's part of what I think makes this one so great.
Joe D. MacGuffinstuff
2022-08-06 07:05:28 +0000 UTCHaha so true! Their attention to detail is incredible. Yeah Anton is scary as hell! It doesn't surprise me at all that he would be the perfect example of a psychopath. I can see both sides of people liking and disliking the ending. I think when you have an ambiguous ending, the likelihood of viewers being split goes up -Sam
TBR Schmitt
2022-08-06 04:46:07 +0000 UTCTotally tricked us! Yeah, I think she's dead too the more I think about it. And the video above kind of confirmed that as well. It's the small things in this film that would be awesome to take in on repeat viewings. -Sam
TBR Schmitt
2022-08-06 04:43:08 +0000 UTCThis was cool! Thanks for sharing -Sam
TBR Schmitt
2022-08-06 04:40:40 +0000 UTCI think those are different hotels unless I'm remember incorrectly? Daniel and I are having a very long discussion about your comment haha -Sam
TBR Schmitt
2022-08-06 04:34:38 +0000 UTCOoh yes! The silence is too much to handle in conjunction with Anton! -Sam
TBR Schmitt
2022-08-06 04:31:31 +0000 UTCYes! It's like nobody feels like a side character in their scenes. Very cool! I hadn't put that together, but you're totally right! -Sam
TBR Schmitt
2022-08-06 04:26:51 +0000 UTCWow, what a compliment! Thanks so much!! It means a lot to us <3 -Sam
TBR Schmitt
2022-08-06 04:26:08 +0000 UTCOh no way! Daniel has played the game, but probably had no idea if he ever did encounter it haha that's awesome! -Sam
TBR Schmitt
2022-08-06 04:25:40 +0000 UTCHaha! My guess is the more disturbing, the less we talk, so Hereditary has to be up there too! We definitely can't wait for more Coen Bros & more Frances! -Sam
TBR Schmitt
2022-08-06 04:17:20 +0000 UTCHahaha! Watch it with the fam! -Sam

PIG
2022-08-06 03:52:01 +0000 UTC"That'll work." If that ain't just PLUM Texan well I don't know what is lol Man I love how the Coens include all those regional references, like the accent in Fargo, In-N-Out, Ralph's, and the general wackiness of LA in the Big Lebowski, I would go on but I don't want to say anything about all the other Coen Brothers movies I'm hoping you react to. May have been said but apparently some psychologists went and watched a bunch of movies looking for examples of psychological profiles and they voted the character Anton Chigurh as the best example of a psychopath in all the films they watched. For me he beats Michael, Jason, all those guys, absolutely terrifying, great movie though. Also, have to say I actually like the ending (well I didn't want Carla Jean to die but it makes sense, knowing what we know about Chigurh, love Kelly MacDonald btw), I know a lot of people find it unsatisfying, but when Chigurh gets hit by the car, you kind of think, maybe it's like divine or karmic justice, but nope, he walks away, it makes it feel real, finishes brutally real, just the arbitrariness of life (and death) sometimes.

2022-08-06 03:44:08 +0000 UTCI want a Nic Cage series, his recent movie, Pig, included. That film blew me away
Ken Veader
2022-08-06 03:42:17 +0000 UTCAnd ANton wasn't in the hotel room. Best way to take it is the sheriff is imagining him in there but Anton had already been in, got the money, and left. And I'm pretty sure back in the trailer park, the reason Anton spared the manager is he heard a noise outside. I'm pretty sure it's the sheriff and his deputy arriving. They really did just miss him.
Reed James
2022-08-06 02:40:53 +0000 UTCAnother thing with Anton. He lives by a "rule" and is dismissive of Carson Wells because his rule lead him to his death. Anton followed his rule and still ended up in a random car crash proving Anton's rule wasn't any better. Anton thought his rule controlled his life, down to coin flips.
Reed James
2022-08-06 02:38:57 +0000 UTCThe movie tricks you into thinking Lewellyn is the main character, but it's really the Sherriff. ANd I'm pretty sure Carla Jean is dead. If you watch Anton, he hates blood. In the strangulation scene, when the blood spurts, he looks away instantly. Throwing away the socks, setting dwon the plastic to fix his wound, lifting his boots to keep his feet out of Carson Well's blood. You got to watch the film again and really pay attention. And Lewellyn didn't have beer. He was in his hotel room and managed to unleash enough firepower the Mexican's ran. It seems like they just started spraying and praying and the woman was killed in the cross fire. Anton was hired by the biusness man. He went out with two of the buisnessmen's guys and killed them. That's why the buisnessman hires Carson Wells to stop Anton who seems out of control, just killing everyone, even guys supposed to be on his side. And notice, it's not about Carson Wells that he kills teh buisnessman over, but giving the Mexican's a tracker to find the money. It offended him.

2022-08-06 02:08:04 +0000 UTCI second Raising Arizona.
PIG
2022-08-06 02:02:16 +0000 UTCI love this film, but I'm always confused about how Carson Wells is able to check in to the hotel after the hotel owner/operator is dead? Or was he already checked in and just out on the town for the night when Chigurh and Llewelyn have their confrontation? And even if that is the case, why wouldn't someone as perceptive as Wells notice the signs (broken, shot out windows, damaged door) of a shootout and be on his guard? Is this a plot hole or am I missing something?
Joel P
2022-08-06 02:00:37 +0000 UTC"How those Larry's holdin' up?" Omg this movie is so good!!
Scott Kerr
2022-08-06 00:45:29 +0000 UTCOne of the best aspects of this film is that there is no musical score. It just adds to the tension.
Tim Raths
2022-08-06 00:44:56 +0000 UTCI love the side characters in this film and Fargo. The Coen Brothers do such a great job of having these side actors do such an amazing job in their films. For example, the man in the clothing store, the man in the camping supply store, the woman at the motel, the woman on the phone with Chigurh when he calls that random person, the border patrol guy, etc.
Scott Kerr
2022-08-06 00:02:24 +0000 UTCYour outros really are at the top of all reactors, arguably the best. you have great insights, and the conversation is infectious. 👍🏼 great movie, great reaction, enjoyed watching along.
YoureMrLebowski
2022-08-05 23:14:39 +0000 UTCDan/Sam, I don't know if you ever played "Grand Theft Auto 5". There is a spot in the desert where you find a bunch of dead men with their cars and a briefcase full of money. It's a "No Country For Old Men" Easter egg. Take the case of money and see what happens. And the briefcase they used for the money is the same model the Coen brothers used in "Fargo".
Mr. Writhms
2022-08-05 22:13:43 +0000 UTCWhat's the record for not talking during a movie? I think you guys just broke it. Great movie, can't go wrong with the Coens. Even without Marge. Might be time for some Coan comedy. Maybe Raising Arizona, which has Francis in it.
