He's asking Carson if the way he lived; be it what religion it followed, code of ethics, beliefs, etc still resulted in him being killed in this manner why would he bother.
He didn’t know that would happen?
Why did you even get born just to end up in this thread where I call you gay?
It's a good point. Some people live full of vice and still succeed while virtuous people live good but still fail. It's the way mccarthy sees it
>Why did you even get born just to end up in this thread where I call you gay?
I often think that way about my life in general. I'm sure people that do live good or productive lives only to end up destitute often ask themselves the same thing.
You could surmise that the world is evil and rewards evil people with success, however temporal it may be.
I'm not even sure the world is evil, just that evil men are able to prosper in it specifically because they don't follow the common rule.
stating the arbitrary as absolute: cringe. reality, nature is fair.
you failing to live up to your own standards, not knowing who to blame for evil, feeling futile against it all is opposite to cosmic injustice.
that would be true if evil is generally rewared, if it were a rule, as it is it is pretty much "random" which of the evil-doers get rewarded and which get caught and rot in prison. In the same vein not all goodies are miserable. It's mostly based on luck and a little cunning.
Fortune favour you my friends

Chigurh believes his way of life to be superior to others. Carson got careless at the last second and he paid for it. Chigurh does everything thoroughly, and he's willing to do anything to get the job done. Chigurh despises incompetent people, which is why he guns down those two business men earlier in the movie for fricking up the deal and later when he kills his employer for giving the Mexican's a receiver he says "That's foolish. You pick the one right tool.".
He makes a decision pretty early on to rebel against his employers and wipes them out. He appears to completely wipe out the entire leadership on the american side. They never thought he would do something as rash as doubling back to them so they never bothered with security.
In the book Anton gives the money back to the top leadership, after having wiped out everyone below him. It's beleived he's gonna be the one running things from here on out.
Its unclear how canon all this is to the movie. In actuality Anton kills so many people and leaves such a mess everywhere that the FBI would have gotten involved in these spree killings and put an end to it. Killing men in an office buliding owuld likely have led to investigators connecting them to the drug deal.
i wanted to read the book, how good is it on a scale of 1 to 10
they implied the office floor is hidden and I feel like they could just clean up that murder. All the other murders could just be blamed on gang shit since they were all gang Black folk
Not the office floor they were on, but that there's a hidden one. That would be where they do their illegal activities.
I don't understand what half of these words mean. I feel like this movie is pretentious, and it gets the attention of the biggest neckbeards the internet can offer.

Anton believes himself to be an Ubermench, who has risen above the false morality around him and created his own path. He sees Carson as just another sheep who has followed false morality and never woken up. He's gloating and smiling since he sees this as proof that Anton's way is the correct path.
Nietzche theory is also why Anton is so repulsed and shocked by the store owner because he's the Last Man.
>The last man (German: Letzter Mensch) is a term used by the philosopher Friedrich Nietzsche in Thus Spoke Zarathustra to describe the antithesis of his theorized superior being, the Übermensch, whose imminent appearance is heralded by Zarathustra. The last man is the archetypal passive nihilist. He is tired of life, takes no risks, and seeks only comfort and security. Therefore, The Last Man is unable to build and act upon a self-actualized ethos.
>The last man's first appearance is in "Zarathustra's Prologue". According to Nietzsche, the last man is the goal that modern society and Western civilization have apparently set for themselves. After having unsuccessfully attempted to get the populace to accept the Übermensch as the goal of society, Zarathustra confronts them with a goal so disgusting that he assumes that it will revolt them – a culture which seeks only passive comfort and routine, avoiding everything that could potentially bring risk, pain, or disappointment.[1]

That's me. I'm 100% the last man
The majority of people are that.

>i don't understand these words
>pretentious
anton believes himself some sort of punishment. and that carson had rules/ethics supposedly helping him avoid things like death and pain, him.
he is saying that the rule is wrong at the very least.
i dont think this moment actually says anything for the whole determinism theme, it implies choice to be honest.
He's literally just being an butthole jesus christ this isn't some 2deep4u moment.
>Lemme ask you something, you're about to fricking die, how does it feel?
That's it.
You can try all you might to prevent it, but death is still coming.

Anton demanding an answer to why people have rules is cuck behaviour.
he isnt demanding, he is more gloating and tormenting. at least in this scene
He isn't demanding anything, he's mocking.

Chigurh is insane.
He seems to be aware that events in life can be random but does not put 2 and 2 together and realize that ordinary folks following the "rules" is a hedge against this very reality of randomness. Doing a good deed for a stranger in the hope that this will let paid back in the future is a response to the random bad shit that happens in life. Call it delayed reciprocity.
Moss tries to bring the thirsty Mexican water. Wells gives Moss advice he didn't need to give him. The border patrol guard helps Moss cross the bridge. Bell tries to help Moss but is too late. The boy gives Chigurh the shirt off his back and Chigurh has to insist the boy take his money. I'm the end, Chigurh himself is the beneficiary of a "useless" rule.
The reason he doesn't understand this is that he's an autist psychopath. All he understands is immediate transactional relationships.
>Chigurh is insane.
You mean the nature of this conversation?
garbage antagonist speaking in meaningless riddles, he reminds me of that troony Johan Liebert
characters like these are easy to bait pseuds into fellating them as well written villains
Name 5 well-written villains in film
Do that
>don't put it in your pocket, jerk it like its water
I understand chigurh is crazy or whatever but I think he's smart enough to form sentences that make sense. Wtf does he mean by "jerk it like its water"?
>you should remember this penny because it saved your life as my rules are dependent on a coin toss
Chigurgh got a high opinion of himself.
he tells him it's just a coin, suggesting it's Anton who decides
Bros,
That poor fricking chicken farmer.
Why did Carson go to his room with the psychotic murderer who was definitely going to kill him with a silenced weapon?
Pick a number
*rolls 20 sided die*
I guess the bird followed the right rules.
He just wanted to implant your final thoughts
