Am I the only one that doesn't understand his question?
Like he doesn't follow any rules and feels a bit of pride by always circumventing rules, but he is basically gloating here. I don't think he wants an answer, he was basically verifying he didn't leave any lose ends, gun to the guy with him desperate to think of some reason to stay alive is a good way to double check if you're safe with your plan, but this seems moronic. Why does he have any care to ask a question or even gloat? Always confused me, despite it being incredibly acted.
Like you said, he is reaffirming his plan with the conversation, with the question he is then reaffirming his philosophy. If he got a proper response that challenged it correctly, he would find value in that answer, much like if the guy came up with an issue with his plan he would've appreciated it.
Anton isn't a real person, not in a meta "he's a fictional character" like for the purpose of the story, he isn't a person. He's meant to be the embodiment of indifferent violent chaos. He had a name and a face but if he was simply plot convinces, heart attacks, accidental wolf attacks, gun misfires any of that, the story would be exactly the same. The benefit of embodying the thesis of your story if it can speak, it can explain itself and it can probe.
A heart attack won't ask why you bother doing so much to stay alive when you are powerless to stop it, a gun misfiring won't ask why you bother living with so much honor in murdering others when the shear randomness of the event will end you like it never mattered.
Because he's a human embodiment of indifferent violent chaos, when he enacts any act of wild violence, he smiles. When he loses a coin toss and can't kill, he is frustrated.
If he embodied chaos that was indifferent then why didn't he flip a coin for every person he wanted to kill
he'd have to have flipped a coin 3 times before he went into a motel
he's not indifferent because he clearly enjoys killing, and he's not chaotic because he's following a plan (get the money)

>he's the embodiment of indifferent violent chaos!
Pretty smooth brained take, imo.
Indifference means he would take no pleasure or have any frustration due to the outcome of any invent.
Using the term indifference for Anton is a critical failure in not only understanding the character, but the basic understanding of the word.
I'll start singing Cuban Pete out of nowhere and once he is fully confused and distracted with my exotic dance moves, I'll grasp the opportunity to jump out of the window and gtfo there
what rule?
you can’t respond without sounding mad, we’ve been through this
turn 360 degrees and silently walk away, he's autistic so he won't shoot until he's heard a reply
you’d sound mad as frick if you say this
He didn't say anything... Do you have autism too?
have a nice day moron Black person it’s my birthday
It's about the journey, not the destination.
ill sock this homosexual so hard his bowl cut will explode
It's best not to get into these situations.
It’s your fault that this is happening you psychotic frick.
>and then everyone claps
mad
I'd look at him and say "Who was in the wrong here?"
I think you could probably say:
>The rule wasn't to keep me from dying, just to live longer.
>Rules are how we bring structure to the chaos of the world. Even if the chaos wins, at least I didn't give up.
>It brings me peace
>Let's me die with honor
>Let's me die fulfilled
But I would probably say
>I'll let you know when I see you again
I think he'd scoff at that, but I think it's an apt response.
>Brought me to what?
I mean you got me, just kill me already, now you want me to validate you or something, just get it over with
Why do you have a stupid haircut?
what rule 're you talkin' about
I married into it.
10/10
this movie freaked my dad out so much, he refuses to rewatch it.
Well that's boring. How would I even know I'm dead?
He legit told you
I wouldn't trust this guy with a nickel, let alone a quarter. I'll need to make some calls, find out if I'm really dead.
>All rules bring us to this in the end. Your day will come too.
yee ass haircut

Of course he follows rules.
Every decision you make is a rule.
That's why the movie is so fricking boring.

Perhaps I'm wondering why someone would lecture a man, before shooting him dead
You're an armed guy

Remind me what the story was again
old man rambles incoherently
Man steals money from dead people, hitman wants the money. Through only luck, the man loses and the hitman wins.
Lot of verbosity for an indifferent violent chaos
Then why did he smile in this scene if he's indifferent
he clearly took pleasure in killing
Because he's a human embodiment of indifferent violent chaos, when he enacts any act of wild violence, he smiles. When he loses a coin toss and can't kill, he is frustrated.

*event/invent
Nah, I nailed it
Why did he feel like he had to explain that to a corpse?
Like the dead guy wouldn't realize
Just in case he forgot
Didn't Cao Cao say something like that
>Can you say that again but this time take the cotton out of your mouth and wear for the novocaine to wear off? Thanks.
this guy is a fricking psycho and none of his dialogue was supposed to be philosophical or supposed to make sense
How does he know the people he's killing are dying?
So has Cinemaphile decided yet? Was Anton based?
How's that up to debate?
Of course he is
>"Oh, like you're doing right now?"
Sugar would then apologize and leave
I'll start singing Cuban Pete out of nowhere and once he is fully confused and distracted with my exotic dance moves, I'll grasp the opportunity to jump out of the window and gtfo there
Why did this film filter so many people on Cinemaphile?
Because it's a dumb movie. "Dumb" as in there is very little to it if you aren't properly engaged.
Can you just shoot me already for fricks sake?
