If McCarthy's cynicism didn't wear you out in Blood Meridian, it certainly wears thin here. He's a one trick pony. I don't know why people give this movie a pass.
it's weird that naïve optimism is so prevalent in media that any piece of media that portrays anything close to a realistic outcome is seen as cynical. what did you want this movie to be? Llewellyn taking out the whole cartel on his own?
The thing I really wondered about is what the hell he would even do with himself assuming he gets the money. Start a business, get a woman, pursue a hobby, enjoy life? Nope. The character exists only to kill. I can only imagine him taking some apartment somewhere, staring at the walls.
Your comparison is bad because you are trying to explain a very stylized fictional character by appealing to a practical real life example. A fictional character can be described in such a way that it is difficult to imagine their humanity, while real people in boring jobs are manifestly human.
I really should read the novel at some point for background, but the film's Chigurh is Death, and that's all. He's an inhuman antagonist plot-advancer, and that's the point. The way the film goes, it's amazing to think that Carson Wells ever got close enough to him to form an opinion of him. The company men are quite comfortable with him when they explain the job, Chigurh chats easily with them, and then bodies them without any hesitation. A loner, fixated on the satchel, and willing to burn all bridges all of a sudden, for whatever reason. I guess the events of the film are precisely when Chigurh snaps and falls out with his trusted associates.
One could imagine that Chigurh's rampage (which mirrors the original crime scene, a dozen-ish bodies and several trashed vehicles) is his masterpiece. Perhaps he never actually cared about money or drugs, and simply wished to kill on principle. This may be reductive, but Carson suggests as much. Chigurh is unemotional, but he is also very serene when he coolly sits down on the bed after managing the Mexican ambush motel unit. Master of his Universe. He calmly checks the drawers. He has a real taste for this stuff now. To Llewellyn's credit, he retrieves the satchel via very clever means, although the squeaking noises may have registered during the killing.
Esl loser who is the exact problem with this board. Are we supposed to stop at 1 paragraph because any more would be "too redit" for you? I highly recommend googling an hero, my new friend, and then consider it.
it's imprecise to call him death i think. i think he's of a mythological allegory of anything, more just an idealistic psychopath who carries an air of mythology thanks to his inhuman ability and unflappability.
He doesn't cook or go grocery shopping. He just gets takeout or loots the food and drink of his murder victims. He's a psycho that thinks he's on the job 24/7. If I knew he was going to arrive and murder me I'd poison everything so I could get the posthumous last laugh.
Do you reckon Sally Ann or whatever the wife of the main guy is called did anal? She's so pretty I fell in love with her. I bet she services you on command, any time you want. I would anal here constantly got I wish that was my wife.

>what did you want this movie to be? Llewellyn taking out the whole cartel on his own?
yes, because Jesus did
Jesus resisted the temptations in the desert. Louie Lynn did not.
There is nothing realistic about Anton, the movie is unrealistic until it’s suddenly not for the sake of a cheap twist.
>There is nothing realistic about a hitman killing a dozen people
Richard Kuklinski killed over 200 people in real life
>cucklinski
that guy was so full of shit and exaggerated his crimes
um..
I don't really call that a twist.
The ending was a message of hope breh. The stone water trough was proof that the good that we bring unto this world will outlast us as well
>what does he eat?

Old men. It's in the title ffs

he probably does normal guy shit when he isn't working. do you say "this character exists only to sell honda civics" when you see a used car salesman?
