i think they mean how the first and second acts are a gripping battle of wits
then the protagonist is killed off screen
then other stuff happens the end
its about how stuff always sucked and anybody who thinks stuff sucking is a recent thing is stupid. there is no fate or destiny, things just suck and bad things can happen without rhyme or reason
This. Anton probably figured the guy in the toilet MIGHT have a gun to shoot him with. Even if Anton blew him away, the lady he talked to MIGHT have a gun as well. Even if he blew her away, the guy in the toilet might take Anton out. However remote these two possibilities, Anton didn't want to take that chance and decided, to Hell with it, walking away is the easiest and safest path to take.

what's there to miss?
he doesn't like indecisive people who try to game their chances. he believes that shit happens and you have to fall in line with fate. that's why he uses the coin. >you pick the one right tool
He felt sort of insulted that the broker would hire others along with him in order to ensure that the money is recovered. He was confident in his ability to get the money himself and that's why he killed the guys that were sent to the scene with him. Same reason why he mercilessly kills the mexicans in the hotel room despite being hired by the same guy. That's when he decided he would kill the guy who hired him as well.
The deeper story is revealed by Ed Tom's dialog with the old man near the end. It's about us thinking the world is changing for the worse as we age, when it's really we who change and the world stays mostly the same.
It's just Cormac McCarthy being a miserable joyless edgelord nihilistic beta male homosexual as usual, it just has the Coen's superlative filmmaking giving it style and the illusion of depth that it doesn't have or deserve.
Javier Bardem is a representation of death. Tommy Lee Jones is trying to solve a case where every end leads to death as he avoids every bloody events to only see the aftermath. The point is kind of in the title. He realizes that he's not fit to hang around in a young man's world anymore, so he retires before he gets himself killed too. The ending scene is his dead father welcoming him to come and move on to the next life. It's kind of a message if learning how to call it quits when your time is up because the world of a cop isn't suited for an old timer. Consider Bardem's character to be a literal grim reaper and it will make a lot more sense. Never read the book and simply going off of the movie alone.
basically bad stuff happens all the time which is why his brother at the end talks about the man getting shot on his front porch and why anton gets hit by a car randomly
Literally the opposite of this. Even in the movie, they basically call Tommy Lee Jones' character a diva crybaby for retiring and not being able to deal with reality.
great movie this one, but i feel like it wants to say many things at once.
that a new kind of evil is emerging, far from the simplistic desire to acquire materialistic things.
at the same time, there's this thing about fate and it's 'fakeness'. is there any reason why chigurh has an accident right after killing llewellyn's wife?
It's the process of a defeat, of realizing your time is over. Hell, even the fricking title says it all. Go play with dirt kiddo, I'm sure you'll find it more interesting.
>people afraid of him get killed easily >the two women he encounters tell him to shove his autistic logic up his ass (one died but it's a coin toss) >gets buck broken in a car accident and realizes random things can happen to him too
what was there to not understand? it's a movie you just have to experience
you're completely moronic. it has the most basic premise possible
i think they mean how the first and second acts are a gripping battle of wits
then the protagonist is killed off screen
then other stuff happens the end
It bugs me that I know people personally that would actively get filtered by this
Something about the concept of death and time or something. I dunno I just like watching Anton Chigurh. He makes me laugh.
its about how stuff always sucked and anybody who thinks stuff sucking is a recent thing is stupid. there is no fate or destiny, things just suck and bad things can happen without rhyme or reason
Many psychologists said that Chigurh is the most realistic depiction of a psychopath ever shown on screen
chigurh is a cartoonized sociopath. watch spoorloos and angst.
It really was no country for old people.
wrong. the old fat office lady survived.
Did she? Anton is never shown leaving the office after she fails to comply with his request for information.
He heard someone in the bathroom so he left.
>fearless psycho that kills everyone who annoys him in the slightest
>flees because a toilet flushes
live to be a psycho another day

>doesn't watch the movie
>posts opinion anyway
Anton was an architect. A thick b***h is every man's weakness.

What did Sugar kill the two guys he took to the scene in the desert?
Someone answer this
he doesn't like indecisive people who try to game their chances. he believes that shit happens and you have to fall in line with fate. that's why he uses the coin.

He just wanted some GuaGua
(ohne gas, bitte!)
At no point does it show old men listening to country. How did you not catch that?
oh i get it
no country for old men
nice
the book is pretty clear:
mercy is evil
death to all merchants of death
the meaning was destroyed in the movie by the Coens, but still entertaining

You're only a moron if you don't *want* to understand this movie.
tons of shitty writing in the book, chigurh is a pseud played like a hannibal lector type genious.
>if the rule you followed brought you to this end, what use was the rule?
Black person you cornered him in a hotel lobby. just recently you narrowly avoided death by shotgun.
He deserved to die at the end for cheating on his wife
i dont remember him cheating on his wife

you couldn't be more wrong.
Nta, but enlighten us.

>Fixes glasses while drinks xir basedmilk shake
I bet you have a punchable face too
Be honest, would you have preferred the story to resolve in a more traditionally satisfying way?
i was surprised and a little confused when they killed him off screen because I had never seen a movie do that before
great movie this one, but i feel like it wants to say many things at once.
that a new kind of evil is emerging, far from the simplistic desire to acquire materialistic things.

The e tire point is that it’s not new
It's the process of a defeat, of realizing your time is over. Hell, even the fricking title says it all. Go play with dirt kiddo, I'm sure you'll find it more interesting.
I aint at liberty to give out no information
No it's ok, no one in this thread understood it either.
It's about not cheating on your wife
>people afraid of him get killed easily
>the two women he encounters tell him to shove his autistic logic up his ass (one died but it's a coin toss)
>gets buck broken in a car accident and realizes random things can happen to him too
Aight, kino.
for the anons ITT who havent seen the movie, or just want to rewatch it
what's his status?
He lives in the book. It's left ambiguous in the film for kino value.
just a cheeky line you say before killing someone like in an Arnold Schwarzenegger film
>No country for old men
my comfort movie, always with me when I have a bad day
You've read McCarthy right? Cuz if not, you really aught to. If this is a comfort movie for you.
