The fact that Javier Bardem did not speak English well, was against violence and also at the beginning did not want to be in the film makes it so ironic to the point that it was literally being named the most realistic film depiction of a psychopath by an independent group of psychologists in the Journal of Forensic Sciences for his role as Anton Chigurh
The fact the movie protrays that at the end of the day he's only human. He talked about "knowing to a certainty" about how things will turn out and ends up getting into a car accident at the end of the film. He knows himself to be calculating and smart, but even he could not have predicted the accident.
He sees himself as death, like an unstoppable force. The car crash, as well as the girl’s refusal to play his game, is basically an ego check for Anton and the audience - he’s subject to the same rules everyone else is, chance, fate, luck, whatever you want to call it.
Yeah,thats an accurate description of a psychopath. Except the movie didnt portray how most of the times they get their ass whooped by law enforcement or other thugs. Theyre only fearless because theyre too stupid to correctly assess their situation.
Anton is a complex psychopath who lies to himself by saying he is an agent of fate to justify his crave for killing (it's why he uses the coin on the store clerk). In the last scenes where he kill's the wife, her rejection to play by his fate role extremely distraughted him, as she made him take responsibility for the killing, forcing him to acknowledge the lie and realizing that he does not kill because he is an agent of fate, but rather, he kill's only because it is his desire. The scene of the crash after directly continues this, showing that he too is a subject of fate.
I wouldn't say it was his desire to kill her....more like his desire to adhere to the principles he constructed for himself regardless of how horrible his actions were. She one upped him by adhering to principles of her own. The only goal in his mind was to finish the job which he did, but this time with maybe a hint of remorse. She put a huge dent in his core beliefs - which the car accident that follows that scene symbolically represents. A significant portion of his armor or façade was damaged, just like he was in the crash.

Thus implying that even if you don’t know what to win, you must play the odds and try anyways to take the upper hand. That is why Anton kills all who do not play, he is the reaper but still has morals to the rules of fate. The little canister and cow gun he Carries is in place of the reapers scythe.

It’s just like death, death can happen at any moment and any time, just like that. It doesn’t matter if you’re a good person or not. It’s unfair, it’s nature. That’s what I got from the movie.

Anton is fascinating because it's like there's something occupying a human body that isn't a human soul. Whatever is driving him to act is a force of pure evil, not motivated by hatred or anger or any kind of human emotion, just sheer malevolence and wickedness. It's not his surface appearance or mannerisms or even his actions that are disturbing, it's whatever is underneath him that is motivating him to do these things.
Chigurh isn't the antagonist, Chigurh is merely the effect of a cause. attachment (desire/ignorance/dishonesty) is the real antagonist, and the cause of Chigurh. death by Chigurh is the end result of attachment. you can run, fight, or hide, but Chigurh shows that there is always an unstoppable force coming for your attachments. nothing lasts, no good man wins in this world. Chigurh is a reminder of impermanence.

@@Bob_99.1 Totally agree. He styles himself as something far grander than what he really is, which is just a very competent serial killer. It's honestly kind of brilliant in my view.
@@crazypantz3492I reccomend you read the book. It's literally the exact same as the movie but there are some dialogue that was cut. For example, Anton's speech to Carla about why he is the way that he is. It's a beautiful, elegant speech with complex sentences and poetic wording, and it's all just a cover up for the fact that he kills because he wants to. Because he's evil. Because he's a psychopath. No amount of eloquent speeches will change that. Its a phenomenal book.
0:39 that part no matter how many times I watch it...that will give me goosebumps and make me say to myself "Oh damn that guy was just unlucky too meet Anton at the same exact road"
It's so horrific. That shit gives me goddamn shudders. Guy does nothing wrong, and for his trouble he blindly walks into the abyss. It stirs my soul in a way I really don't like.
I swear movies before 2010 were so amazing actually cinematic, had great themes, and actors were on point the world was so much simpler then I suppose.
I feel like Anton is meant to represent the indifference of chance, he's a force of nature in his eyes he's not necessarily good or evil he's just following a set of cold logic.
Yes, but no matter how much logic there is, it makes no sense for you to say that it is not something to be taken into account in determining whether something is good or bad. He uses very simple gadgets to kill people, he dresses in a very simple way that doesn't attract attention, in fact, the only thing that attracts attention is how calm his voice always is. The first thing that stands out in a Machiavellian person is a relaxed tone of voice but with emotional ups and downs and tension when explaining themselves, because they try to give a confident image of themselves, it is an obsession with themselves to seem immune to anything. All because they feel emotions in a way that we wouldn't understand (all at once). They seem human, but they lack empathy. We have no right to judge anyone by appearance, that's just my opinion.
Chigurh shooting the crow was always so interesting to me. It seemed to me like since he thought he was some kind of soldier of fate who needed to always be in control, he felt the need to eliminate what could be a symbol of his own demise. The crow did not in fact die, and fate did indeed catch up with him.
interesting, it looked like he missed but that's even more humiliating, for an agent of death failing to kill a crow is quite embarrassing. It shows us that Anton isn't some robotic terminator and will fail at one thing or another.
I remember seeing this edit for the first time, it was something incredible, the editor of this video did an exceptional job not to mention how incredible and good this movie is.
@@kenthefele113 So i didnt watch , does he kill them for reason ? like coin travelled to the gas station he said in one video ?so reason or he just does it ?
@@kubilayacar710 There's a plot reason for him being there ; the movie revolves around the protagonist stealing a huge sum of money on the scene of a drug deal that ended in a shootout. Anton is a hired gun sent to retrieve the money and chase the protagonist, so he's expected to kill some people, that's his job in a shady business. But the way he goes about it is devoid of emotion and he does kill more than necessary, using a logic that only he really understands. He seems to try and act like it's justified but it only makes sense in his own head, the viewer or characters never really get to understand him or talk him out of it (despite trying on several occasions), which is partly why he's so memorable ; since his reason for killing is never made clear or reasonable, he's never humanized throughout the movie, and just stays an absolute threat that's always chasing. He can be talked with, but he can never be talked out of anything. Dialogue never leads to any type of understanding with any of the other characters. He does spare some people, but not necessarily because they convinced him, he just happened to find a reason to spare them within his own twisted logic, and they're absolutely clueless about what just happened and what could have.
@@kubilayacar710 He's a through and through psychopath. The coin scene is an example of that, normal people don't go around forcing other people to play coin flips for their life. Anton Chigurh (Javier Bardem's character) is completely devoid of empathy, remorse, or shame.
Anton embodies everything that makes humanity scary, specifically he is the human embodiment of action and preparation. Each and every thing he does is in effort to move to his next goal. No music, no talking, no outside distraction, I remember reading a fan theory that Anton is most likely ex military in some fashion. Due to his natural obsession with details and environment. The motel attack was a great example.
@@chickenspheres7582 Here is the literal definition for humanity, "humaneness; benevolence. - "he praised them for their standards of humanity, care, and dignity"' do these characteristics sound anything like anton?
It’s really trashy if you think about it. You lack the ability to do anything special so you result to foolishness and inability. Anybody who is aspired by these people aren’t abandoned they’re just too stupid to reach out to others to find meaning. True failures
The irony was that the moment he defied the will of the coin by making his own choice to kill, circumstance put him into a car crash shortly afterward. The doctrine of his killings were shaken and so were his ties as an agent of fate.
I love how Anton leaves the story limping, in pain, dazed with both body and confidence shattered. That which he sought and exploited throughout the story, control, is taken from him in a second, and it absolutely terrifies him. That "force of nature" aura is stripped bare.
I don’t know what it is about this movie, but every scene perfectly fits the aesthetic of a smoggy small town suburb. The yellow daylighting, the houses with no lights on, the way all the characters speak in hushed, intimate tones, the old wallpapers. I realize it’s an old movie but still, it fits an aesthetic I find hard to put my finger on, but one I’ve never seen in any other movie.
Every time this edit pops into my recommended, I watch it. I just love everything about it. The music, the clips, the movie itself. It's just all so good.
Anton sees himself as the personification of death: a grim reaper in the flesh. He gave the man in the suit who asked him if he was gonna shoot him a chance, because he acknowledged Anton's view of his own psyche, which is a tool of death. He gave Anton entertainment and acknowledgement with his question, and replied in turn with a question of his own.
Which mirrors what Carson told Moss. He said, shocked, "you've seen him and you're still alive?" when responding to Moss saying he'd seen Anton. Now, he turns to the unnamed man in the suit after the suited man asked if he was gonna shoot him and responds "depends, can you see me?"
it's been 5 months, im still not over how amazing this is. I want to go back in time to when we studied this in film at school and show my teacher. You helped bring to life even more how amazing Chigurh is. Thank you.
Anton is a scary character because people like him truly exist in our world and people like him will show their true character/form to you when no one is looking around.
one of the best edits i've seen on youtube, the quality of the audio and image, being made in chronological order, and the details on cuts on the beat of the music makes it so unique
He didn't killed him......The accounting guy said,"Are you going to shoot me? he said,"That depends".....Did you see me?.....which tells that he didn't killed him...because if the accounting guys didn't see him he is not going to shoot him...the guy was already afraid...I think he said him that he didn't see him
Yeah, I'm glad someone noticed. Also the scene before when he says "pick the one right tool" the song then goes " I turn to ask the question" and the accounting guy asks will he shoot him.
What I always love about this character is that he's not just evil, he also bring evilness, corrupting everything around him, like with the two boys at the end who were nice to him at first and start battling each other when he give monney to one.
in the novel, this whole story, the fate of all these people, the whole mission of Chigurh finding the case and returning it was just to impress a potential employer that was never named. It was considered a credential or work experience for his next employment. So this whole encounter only represented a small part of Chigurh's life and experiences and for everyone else it basically either killed them or gave them an existential crisis. So he's hardcore and the people he works for are very much the same.
Guys thank you again for so much support i really appreciate it. For the people asking for the name of the movie or song check out the description, I always put the information there. Edit : 2 mil now, you guys crazy af thank you all Edit : 3.5 mil now, is this just gonna keep going?? Really, thank you all so much.
You deserve it, really like how you controlled the audio and chose the perfect clips 3:15 the music says "I turn to ask the question" right as the accountant asked if he was going to kill him, that was perfect and the main character turned twords him wow
@infuriated9167 phycopaths are very interesting and complex people, I'm not a professional but I have done some research on them There's afew reasons as to why someone is a phycopath One of the most obvious is they were born with it, the part of the brain that is responsible for emotional regulation and impulse control is underdeveloped However there's also lots of enviomental factors. Alot of phycopaths aren't blood hungry like their always portrayed, there's cases of phycopaths that have a normal life and even start familys. However if a born pycopath is for example abused as a child, then the negative envioment plus with their struggles of their undeveloped brains can lead to them being very violent, and possibly becoming serial killers. However sometimes phycopaths aren't born at all, they are created from either mental trauma or physical trauma By mental trauma I mean having severe trauma (usually trauma from childhood, like being abused by parents) that leads to them developing phycopathic elements like lack of empathy By physical trauma, I mean something like a blow to the head. Sometimes if you sustain damage to your head (especially as a child) it can damage the part of your brain that's responsible for emotions and thus leading to become a phycopath. They are very fascinating people and are sometimes misunderstood
It’s because he’s a living ghost. All the important parts that makes a human a human had been eroded away, presumably from trauma induced sociopathy or epigenetic psychopathy or both. It’s like watching a walking trauma response running on autopilot who’d been weaponised into a killing machine
Even after watching the movie, Anton is still a difficult character to read/understand. It's really unstoppable no one stops him He has no friends, there are no allies It's him and his victims when they take away something that belongs to him. I even feel that Anton talks so many strange things to his victims before killing them because he is so lonely. Even a psychopathic hitman like him must need to talk while alone to avoid falling into absolute madness. Unless I have some contact, I think Anton died at the end of the movie. The bone was sticking out of that broken arm. If he didn't do something soon, logically he should have died. On the other hand, there are people who believe that Anton does not really exist. It is the old policeman's imagination of what this guy must be like. because we really don't even know anything about him It's like it's from another planet...
Film starts with words "My father was sheriff", so whole film is the sheriffs story. But he never saw Anton, only evidences. Chiken truck is the best example of "police version" of the story.
@Abrar is what your meant to believe except at the end of the movie the whole point is to show that while Anton is a very different individual, ultimately he is just a self absorbed asshole who kills for his own ego and he isn’t better than the rest of us
This movie didn't sell me on the whole most believable psychopath on film. But until I saw Anton drink someone else's milk straight out of the bottle, I knew for sure this was the most realistic psychopath ever depicted on film.
My brother in christ, If we're stranded in the sahara and I have the choice to drink Milk or Water, I guarantee you to a fault: my goofy ass drinking that gallon of milk.
One of the best villains to grace the silver screen. Perfect acting and writing. Absolutely terrifying. Anton experiences no fear or hesitation, he just acts.

Anton is undeniably one of the most complex villains in the history of cinema. He is ruthless and the embodiment of evil. However, upon watching him you can't help but notice seems to transcend mere humanity and is more akin to a force of nature. He operates as an agent of destruction, seemingly devoid of personal motives. Instead, he carries out his killings out of obligation, as if he were a messenger of death. Anton's unwavering commitment to his mission leaves no room for moral ambiguity. In his world, people are either aiding him in achieving his goals or they become obstacles that must be eliminated. The world inhabited by Llewelyn is no country for old men, because no one is able to stop what is coming when pursued by someone as malevolent as Anton.
Disagree. Being simple as a log is what makes him unqiue, like a real sociopath. Even his "i'm a harbringer of fate" is called (and is in a nutshell) bullshit by Carla. He simply loves to kill, nothing more. His character lacks any depth and has barely any development. This doesn't make him a _bad_ character - actually, it what makes him so good.

I absolutely LOVE how you articulated that! Screw that imbecile who's trying to correct you. Some people never mentally graduated from the 6th grade.

For example, Anton's speech to Carla about why he is the way that he is. It's a beautiful, elegant speech with complex sentences and poetic wording, and it's all just a cover up for the fact that he kills because he wants to. Because he's evil. Because he's a psychopath. No amount of eloquent speeches will change that.
Its a phenomenal book.

The way Javier Bardem played this character is amazing. Anton Chigurh is not just the psychopath, but the death himself

@@agreeable-youth dont have to be a boomer to realize that. all it takes watch some old movies and some new then compare
What you're trying to say but didnt, Cohen brothers are the greatest film makers in recent history.
I feel like Anton is meant to represent the indifference of chance, he's a force of nature in his eyes he's not necessarily good or evil he's just following a set of cold logic.
Exactly , he doesn't seem evil . Like he doesn't necessarily enjoy killing or hurting people like the psychopaths we usually see .
@@abhaysreekanth he killed a random old man
Yes, but no matter how much logic there is, it makes no sense for you to say that it is not something to be taken into account in determining whether something is good or bad. He uses very simple gadgets to kill people, he dresses in a very simple way that doesn't attract attention, in fact, the only thing that attracts attention is how calm his voice always is. The first thing that stands out in a Machiavellian person is a relaxed tone of voice but with emotional ups and downs and tension when explaining themselves, because they try to give a confident image of themselves, it is an obsession with themselves to seem immune to anything. All because they feel emotions in a way that we wouldn't understand (all at once). They seem human, but they lack empathy. We have no right to judge anyone by appearance, that's just my opinion.
@@nazim9639 "cold logic". There, hope you get it.
@@nazim9639 He killed him for car,how i renember
Chigurh shooting the crow was always so interesting to me. It seemed to me like since he thought he was some kind of soldier of fate who needed to always be in control, he felt the need to eliminate what could be a symbol of his own demise. The crow did not in fact die, and fate did indeed catch up with him.
He missed the crow and it didn’t die how tf u gonna assume that
@@StevePerez2900 it looked like the crow flew away
interesting, it looked like he missed but that's even more humiliating, for an agent of death failing to kill a crow is quite embarrassing. It shows us that Anton isn't some robotic terminator and will fail at one thing or another.

I remember seeing this edit for the first time, it was something incredible, the editor of this video did an exceptional job not to mention how incredible and good this movie is.
“People always say the same thing”
Is the single most terrifying line in the film.
He killed so much to the point where it is called people. Wow
I love how he sounds annoyed too. He’s so inhuman he doesn’t understand why people would beg for their lives.
@@kenthefele113 So i didnt watch , does he kill them for reason ? like coin travelled to the gas station he said in one video ?so reason or he just does it ?
@@kubilayacar710 There's a plot reason for him being there ; the movie revolves around the protagonist stealing a huge sum of money on the scene of a drug deal that ended in a shootout. Anton is a hired gun sent to retrieve the money and chase the protagonist, so he's expected to kill some people, that's his job in a shady business. But the way he goes about it is devoid of emotion and he does kill more than necessary, using a logic that only he really understands. He seems to try and act like it's justified but it only makes sense in his own head, the viewer or characters never really get to understand him or talk him out of it (despite trying on several occasions), which is partly why he's so memorable ; since his reason for killing is never made clear or reasonable, he's never humanized throughout the movie, and just stays an absolute threat that's always chasing. He can be talked with, but he can never be talked out of anything. Dialogue never leads to any type of understanding with any of the other characters. He does spare some people, but not necessarily because they convinced him, he just happened to find a reason to spare them within his own twisted logic, and they're absolutely clueless about what just happened and what could have.
@@kubilayacar710 He's a through and through psychopath. The coin scene is an example of that, normal people don't go around forcing other people to play coin flips for their life. Anton Chigurh (Javier Bardem's character) is completely devoid of empathy, remorse, or shame.
Anton embodies everything that makes humanity scary, specifically he is the human embodiment of action and preparation. Each and every thing he does is in effort to move to his next goal. No music, no talking, no outside distraction, I remember reading a fan theory that Anton is most likely ex military in some fashion. Due to his natural obsession with details and environment. The motel attack was a great example.
Yeah he is like a Ex Cartel Hitman or Elite Soldier or something
Anton embodies nothing of humanity, he's almost alien in that regard lol.

4:20 : The ultimate irony. A man who dictates the fates of those in his way, has his own fate decided by two random boys. Top tier storytelling
He lets the coin dictate the fate what are you talking about
@@aryanlean and in that scene, it was up to the boys to be bribed for his $100. They could of said no, what would you have done?
@@kubglo7502 no different than a coin toss, a 50/50 what are you saying?
The irony was that the moment he defied the will of the coin by making his own choice to kill, circumstance put him into a car crash shortly afterward.
The doctrine of his killings were shaken and so were his ties as an agent of fate.
@@kubglo7502 no no no my friend you got it all wrong!
I love how Anton leaves the story limping, in pain, dazed with both body and confidence shattered. That which he sought and exploited throughout the story, control, is taken from him in a second, and it absolutely terrifies him. That "force of nature" aura is stripped bare.
I don’t know what it is about this movie, but every scene perfectly fits the aesthetic of a smoggy small town suburb. The yellow daylighting, the houses with no lights on, the way all the characters speak in hushed, intimate tones, the old wallpapers. I realize it’s an old movie but still, it fits an aesthetic I find hard to put my finger on, but one I’ve never seen in any other movie.

No Country for Old Men, I love that damn film...
This is my favorite edit by far. You did an amazing work!
Anton sees himself as the personification of death: a grim reaper in the flesh.
He gave the man in the suit who asked him if he was gonna shoot him a chance, because he acknowledged Anton's view of his own psyche, which is a tool of death. He gave Anton entertainment and acknowledgement with his question, and replied in turn with a question of his own.
Hey what's the movie name
@@haideryt5855 ,,No country for old man".
Bro
Which mirrors what Carson told Moss. He said, shocked, "you've seen him and you're still alive?" when responding to Moss saying he'd seen Anton. Now, he turns to the unnamed man in the suit after the suited man asked if he was gonna shoot him and responds "depends, can you see me?"
it's been 5 months, im still not over how amazing this is. I want to go back in time to when we studied this in film at school and show my teacher. You helped bring to life even more how amazing Chigurh is. Thank you.
why the fuck would you study this at school
Well I suggest read novel too because its more detailed
That "Yessir, I've got it under control." With the piano and him just closing in is so 🥶🌨️
One of my favorite videos on the entire platform
That smile at 0:23 gave me the chills
Its like his facial muscles are offended for his lips to contort into such an expression (based on a comment i saw somewhere else)
Very unsettling smile
Anton is a scary character because people like him truly exist in our world and people like him will show their true character/form to you when no one is looking around.
being alone with these people is fucking scary. you don't even feel a soul there, no emotions, just uncertainty.
one of the best edits i've seen on youtube, the quality of the audio and image, being made in chronological order, and the details on cuts on the beat of the music makes it so unique

As the guy from accounting asks the last question of his life.
Fucking amazing video. 10/10
He didn't killed him......The accounting guy said,"Are you going to shoot me? he said,"That depends".....Did you see me?.....which tells that he didn't killed him...because if the accounting guys didn't see him he is not going to shoot him...the guy was already afraid...I think he said him that he didn't see him
'Do you see me?'
The song: You see me, I see you, how pleasant

One of the best No country for old men edits ive seen
Edit: Watch my No Country for Old Men tributes if your interested.
It is the best
Truth
THE best
in the novel, this whole story, the fate of all these people, the whole mission of Chigurh finding the case and returning it was just to impress a potential employer that was never named. It was considered a credential or work experience for his next employment. So this whole encounter only represented a small part of Chigurh's life and experiences and for everyone else it basically either killed them or gave them an existential crisis. So he's hardcore and the people he works for are very much the same.
I’m honestly happy this wasn’t included. Even though he beat everyone, he still lost in the end.
We need your edit of this song on Spotify. Nobody else has nailed the slowed version quite like you.

Good.....let the hate flow through you
@infuriated9167 phycopaths are very interesting and complex people, I'm not a professional but I have done some research on them
There's afew reasons as to why someone is a phycopath
One of the most obvious is they were born with it, the part of the brain that is responsible for emotional regulation and impulse control is underdeveloped
However there's also lots of enviomental factors. Alot of phycopaths aren't blood hungry like their always portrayed, there's cases of phycopaths that have a normal life and even start familys.
However if a born pycopath is for example abused as a child, then the negative envioment plus with their struggles of their undeveloped brains can lead to them being very violent, and possibly becoming serial killers.
However sometimes phycopaths aren't born at all, they are created from either mental trauma or physical trauma
By mental trauma I mean having severe trauma (usually trauma from childhood, like being abused by parents) that leads to them developing phycopathic elements like lack of empathy
By physical trauma, I mean something like a blow to the head. Sometimes if you sustain damage to your head (especially as a child) it can damage the part of your brain that's responsible for emotions and thus leading to become a phycopath.
They are very fascinating people and are sometimes misunderstood
It’s because he’s a living ghost. All the important parts that makes a human a human had been eroded away, presumably from trauma induced sociopathy or epigenetic psychopathy or both. It’s like watching a walking trauma response running on autopilot who’d been weaponised into a killing machine
Even after watching the movie, Anton is still a difficult character to read/understand. It's really unstoppable no one stops him He has no friends, there are no allies It's him and his victims when they take away something that belongs to him. I even feel that Anton talks so many strange things to his victims before killing them because he is so lonely. Even a psychopathic hitman like him must need to talk while alone to avoid falling into absolute madness. Unless I have some contact, I think Anton died at the end of the movie. The bone was sticking out of that broken arm. If he didn't do something soon, logically he should have died. On the other hand, there are people who believe that Anton does not really exist. It is the old policeman's imagination of what this guy must be like. because we really don't even know anything about him It's like it's from another planet...
go home
You described it so well, i didnt think about that the policeman doesnt know what he looks like. interesting point
Film starts with words "My father was sheriff", so whole film is the sheriffs story. But he never saw Anton, only evidences. Chiken truck is the best example of "police version" of the story.
Psychopaths don't feel a need to socialise, actualy.
That's interesting. Sheriff Bell himself even says that Anton is a ghost in one of the scenes.

@@donatelloDoesmachines13 I think another comment explains this pretty well:
Love the bit where he shoots at the crow.
Never read the book, but it feels like in the movie Chigurh sees himself as an agent of fate. Crows are associated with bad omens often. So it's like he's saying "I'm already here, no need for you"
Maybe, maybe not, but it's a great touch, better even that he misses and it flies away, unharmed.
It symbolizes his encounters with Moss.
That bird will die someday (just how Moss got killed) but not by the hands of Anton
Anton Chigurh is just pure evil, not having mercy on anyone
Anton is undeniably one of the most complex villains in the history of cinema. He is ruthless and the embodiment of evil. However, upon watching him you can't help but notice seems to transcend mere humanity and is more akin to a force of nature. He operates as an agent of destruction, seemingly devoid of personal motives. Instead, he carries out his killings out of obligation, as if he were a messenger of death. Anton's unwavering commitment to his mission leaves no room for moral ambiguity. In his world, people are either aiding him in achieving his goals or they become obstacles that must be eliminated. The world inhabited by Llewelyn is no country for old men, because no one is able to stop what is coming when pursued by someone as malevolent as Anton.
Disagree. Being simple as a log is what makes him unqiue, like a real sociopath. Even his "i'm a harbringer of fate" is called (and is in a nutshell) bullshit by Carla. He simply loves to kill, nothing more. His character lacks any depth and has barely any development. This doesn't make him a _bad_ character - actually, it what makes him so good.
just wait till you read about Judge Holden. He makes Chigurh look like he has the depth of a kiddy pool.
