>man, there's this criminal, right, and he's like super scary, because he kills people, right? can you imagine? anyways, I got so scared I'm not sure about this law enforcement thing anymore
How did he manage to have a whole career in law enforcement while being that sheltered? Was he moronic?

It wasn't about being scared, it was about feeling powerless to make a change in the world.
>it was about feeling powerless to make a change in the world.
It took him 130 years to realize what goth gays figure out in junior high. kek what a moron.
His character was supposed to have fought in ww2, him suddenly getting butthurt 40 years later and deciding everything is hopeless because of one dude with a cattle gun and a penis haircut is pretty cringe.
In the book he fights in ww2 but runs away from his dying comrades
it’s almost like there’s…. Oh I don’t know, how might someone put it…. No country for old men?
I don't know. that old guy in the wheel chair seemed like he had it together.
pretty much anon can't help it
well, he was also getting old and facing retirement. What little good he did was like that campire in his dream.
quit being melodramatic.
Things ain't like they cuz. - every dumb hick ever
In the book he gets a half decent lead on Chigurh just before the end.
He's also going to have to hole up somewhere while he recovers from the car crash.
Does the book explain how the sheriff was murdered?
Everything makes sense if you think Anton is a human see video linked or just a spooky figure made to cover up the drug warfare or criminals.
It´s not Chigurh who kills Moss,it´s criminals who nobody who watch the movie remember,who killed the false protagonist(Bell is the protagonist,you will never understand the movie if you do not put this in your head.)
Anton nearly got killed
Poem which the movie got the title.
Read its short
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Sailing_to_Byzantium
Watch the ending you will get it,he wake up from the illusions that he believed it,it´s all in the dreams.

Do you think your average cop is used to dealing with some cartel hitman with a reputation? Even big city cops aren’t, let alone some little hole in the wall sheriff station.
Ed Tom is not the average cop.
Is this the "Make Psychopaths seems less scary" era?
Zoomers be like: I'm so twisted, Anton Chigurh, the Joker, those are all just normal guys to me on god.

Anton Chigurh vs Leatherface, who wins?
they drink a mountain dew and begin shitposting on Cinemaphile so they both lose
Leatherface is a legit moron. In real life what happened in pic-related would be how it would go down with Leatherface.
Name ?
Well quite frankly the average person walks around so haplessly that this is a sensible outcome. People still know horrible criminals and horrifying crime exists, but everybody basically just uses numbers as their safety net. The idea that they will likely not be a victim, statistically.
>I'm one of several hundred thousand people in this area, surely anything bad will happen to one of them and not me
So it makes sense that over time people would start to relegate their natural fear of criminal psychopathy because to the average person, they're not a threat.
You go to places in the third world and you encounter it less, because criminal psycopathy is more commonplace, so number don't help them. The number of criminal psychopaths is too great for the ratio to have a "herd" effect.
These things are part of the reason why people let their guard down in nicer neighborhoods.
This is why smart criminals go to rich neighborhoods. Or rather, professional criminals, I should say
>Last scene of the film

Seriously, they could not come up with a better ending than that?
>no bro there were always spooky terminators with automatic weapons around here you just don't remember haha
Chigurn was not a spooky terminator tho, that's the point
That level of brutality always existed. At least Anton kills quickly, think about those times where people fought with blades and arrows.
I mean a hundred years before that part of the country was called "the wild west" and there's like a million movies where people are shooting each other over just about everything. Obviously those are just movies but anyone thinking there wasn't serious crime in the area before is genuinely just stupid.
The "wild west" existed in movies and that's it. The reality was nothing like the movies.
Not even a full 100 years before the film is set, there were buckskin wearing savages roaming around scalping people in the night with stone axes, stringing them up by their entrails for other settlers as a warning, and they were fond of stealing people and carrying them off screaming into the night.
Hell even flipped around, those same settlers were massacring the savages by the thousands with incomprehensibly (to the savages) complicated machines and animals that could kill seemingly just by pointing at you.
The point is that brutality and senseless violence have ALWAYS existed, and anyone who thinks we're missing the good old days is deluding themselves. The world has always been a violent and dangerous place filled with misery and death, and the idea that "it didn't used to be like this" is fricking cope.
In a larger sense, the film is also a sort of examination/parody of the idea of the Western, because it's essentially a Western set in a modern setting. The main difference is that unlike the Hollywood Western, there isn't a good reason for the events of the film, the protagonist doesn't win, and everyone basically winds up fricked in the end. Because life isn't fair, just, or set according to divine providence. It simply IS, violent and savage and sometimes even beautiful.
>The point is that brutality and senseless violence have ALWAYS existed,
You are being deliberately disingenuous because you are a delusional, asspained Leftist that wants people to just accept the hellscape your ideology has created.
>anyone who says anything contrary to my opinion is a leftist
The only delusional one here is you
Even know there's people laughing at the results of artillery barrages and drone strikes killing people in Gaza and Ukraine. Violence never stopped. Sure there are lulls and peaceful periods but conflict has always followed humanity.

Why did the Sheriff let his uncle live like this?
The 3rd act is complete boomer apologia:
"Hey dad the economy is pretty bad right now, can I save for a bit before I move out?"
"THATS VANITY A TALKIN SON THE ECONOMY HAS ALWAYS BEEN BAD, YOU JUST TURNED 18 HAPPY BIRTHDAY NOW GTFO MY HOUSE"
"I dreamed I finally got a marginally livable wage and a shed to live in after 2 decades of slaving for mr shekelbert. But then I woke up"

You had 15 years to buy bitcoin.
I don't have a crystal ball
Even if I made a million dollars off it I'd spend it all
Buy it with what? Crayons? My lunch money?
>My lunch money?
Yes. 1 dollar worth of bitcoin in 2010 would now be enough for a down payment on a small house.
How much bitcoin do you own?
Not enough.
It's too late to meaningfully invest in bitcoin unless you're already rich. I'm betting on shiba inu and doge coin.
I was 9 when bitcoin was created. Funny thing is, when I was in middle school I told my dad about it but he said it was a scam and didn't buy into it.
Grow up, already, homosexual. You're 30 years old for chrissakes
He thought the times were getting more dangerous because of psychopaths like Anton. He thought crime was evolving into something he couldn't figure out how to stop. His relative at the end of the movie tells him that's stupid because all eras have had monsters like Anton. It's nothing new.
I feel like this now but instead of serial killers it’s Muslim and African immigrants
>you can’t stop what’s coming
The old uncle was so right
>Yessir?
Zoomers may not get this, but once upon a time not every corner of America was a drug addled, swarthoid filled shithole. 50 years ago there were lifelong sheriffs that probably never had to draw a gun their entire career.
There was a story once of a deputy who worked for many years. Eventually, someone got the bright idea to start testing cops to see how well they could shoot. The bullets in his revolver fired, but the cylinder had gotten so rusted on the inside that the casing from the bullets weren't able to be removed. Turns out it was the original 6 bullets the guy had been issued years ago when he first started the job.
>50 years ago there were lifelong sheriffs that probably never had to draw a gun their entire career
No country for old men takes place 40 years ago and the sheriff Bell never has to fires his gun.
>the cartels are le bad. They might kidnap my wife and kill her and then slip a CD under my door with the snuff film on it. If I call them on the telephone they will tell me the world is what I created, when I cease to exist so will my world.
Cormac McCarthy kind of lost his edge over the years, or the Cohens couldn't quite capture it
No
How could anyone hate that monologue from the counselor, shit was so kino
>man realizes the world around him is changing and he can do nothing about it

>too old for this shit
why wouldn't he quit? It made perfect sense
>I became a law enforcement officer to keep my community safe from violence
>Is finally forced to actually keep his community safe from violence
>Oh frick no, this is too much for me
The world is barely changing though That county was probably founded during the 19th century when Indian raids were still a thing that settlers had to worry about. Now you have the cartels doing basically the same shit. At least the cartels aren't roving bands of outlaw horsemen going around raiding small towns and collecting scalps and kidnapping children to raise as their own.
>At least the cartels aren't roving bands of outlaw horsemen going around raiding small towns and collecting scalps and kidnapping children to raise as their own.
Lol that's exactly what they do in Mexico, just without the horses. They are known to steal little girls from their families and trick them out into teen prostitutes. Their moms make them look ugly to hide their beauty so they won't be taken away. And scalping? Well, that's an appetizer. Let's see how recognizable by the time they get to dessert. Fricking white American gringos truly have no clue what's coming.
Sorry but the great wall as stood for eons and the empires ability sow discord between the barbarian tribes has proven effective. As long as the Emperor has the mandate of heaven the lands of the middle kingdom will not be put to the sword.
the empire once united must divide.
long* united. chink wisdom
>I've seen a few gore videos so I'm hardcore now
face it, kiddo. the world really hasn't changed. people have always been awful, and always will.
Is the book worth reading?
The movie is so similar to the book that I'd say not worth reading.
It's a period piece that describes the erosion of trust and social unity in the American interior. The Sheriff's opening monologue describes how he idolized sheriffs of the precious generation who were able to discharge their duties unarmed. That is only possible in a high trust mono-ethnic society. The film details the Sheriff's realization that times are changing. It's also fitting that the film was set in southwest Texas, where many of the negative effects of immigration can be seen and felt more vividly.
>The film details the Sheriff's realization that times are changing.
Unironically 100% not the theme of the movie, in fact it is the exact opposite, but grats in your dogshit media literacy
>media literacy
Nice UN approved opinion, anon.
>Boarder area
>mono-ethnic
The flu is no country for old men, he got too old, the country is built on violence, according to McCarthy
The world getting too violent is the “turn your brain off” take
There is literally no way you could actually criticise this image without coming across like a schizophrenic poltard
>media literacy
>media literacy
you will never have a real ethnostate
Unless you're Chinese or Japanese, none of us will.
Or israelite
only 73% of israel is israeli. and that states days are numbered, thank god.
>The Sheriff's opening monologue describes how he idolized sheriffs of the precious generation who were able to discharge their duties unarmed. That is only possible in a high trust mono-ethnic society.
The point is that those sheriffs were most likely just ignoring violence that went on a mile out from the towns limits. If some Mexicans met in the desert, shot each other up and all died, the sheriff wouldn't care. He might care if they came into town and caused trouble, at which point he'd deputize a bunch of men that would show up with shotguns and rifles to either run them out of town or kill them all. These days if a bunch of corpses in the desert are found with bullets in them the local sheriff can't just ignore it. He has to go over security camera footage, he has to talk to witnesses, he has to look at whether any cars left the scene, where the cars came from, who the men who died were, what the vin numbers of the cars were, and so on.
>That is only possible in a high trust mono-ethnic society
Ah yes, a famously mono-ethnic uhhhh Texas-Mexico border
They were in nowhere Texas, there was probably nothing going on
then Cinemaphile is reddit and NCFOM is a reddit flick, in which case go back
not too different of a mentality from all the losers here who won't even ask a girl out because he's afraid she'd laugh at him
Old people are always like that. “These days are so much worse than my father’s”. It’s a bunch of horseshit and the world/humans have always been shit.
no, things were legitimately better before feminism and mass immigration.
grew up in a white country, died in globohomo.
Correct answer is
Obvious to anyone who understands what "per capita" means.
Believe it or not, the entirety of America was once sheltered from cartel shootouts.
He's old and can't keep up anymore. Guys. Fellas. He's fricking old. That's all there is to it. Times haven't changed. He has. He could do shit in his youth, but his age has deteriorated him to being mostly useless and always two steps behind. He's fricking old.
a stunning misreading of the film. a towering achievement in the art of sheer ignorance
that's the point of the movie, it's in the title and he talks about it extensively, everybody thinks things were better when they were younger and they were all correct, old people aren't ready for the new world and the old sheriff isn't ready for the new danger (nons and their crime)
>while being that sheltered? Was he moronic?
Close, rather it was the israelites who make this crap
