I always took this as a metaphor for death itself, that they're all dead and this is their ferrying to the afterlife and the bounty hunters are the reapers. In that context however, it darkens how she talks about her husband in the past tense and present tense and that hes waiting for her.
I’d have to say my favourite from this film is the Englishman. I’d have loved to see a feature length story with him and the the Irishman. Either as antiheroes or villains, it makes no difference to me.

Interesting. My interpretation is that... The trapper: the working man The lady: the religious The frenchman: the thinkers/philosophers. The wagon: life(or the living realm) The driver: time The bounty hunters: death All of these people bicker and banter and have their own interpretation of what life really is. Yet all of them stands humble and baffled by death. Notice how the scene begins in the day and ends in darkness symbolizing the progress of life.
@@Jacob-lv6zy the frenchman is not a thinker he is just a honest man he is saying that charismatic people in front of others most likely end up being narcissists or something else
Love that the woman mistakenly says, "he was" before correcting herself with "he is" when referring to her husband being a man of charisma. She may have some latent memory that he had passed away and some of her final thoughts may have been of joining her husband in the afterlife before she died herself. Which is why she keeps referring to joining her husband.
@@Blaze-xe8cl that’s not entirely true, just because it’s never directly talked about doesn’t mean it’s not true. She could’ve died from old age which most people see coming (hence her saying “is” and “was” and the dark funeral-like clothing she’s wearing.
@@Blaze-xe8cl not consciously, no. but somewhere deep down they probably know. cause when they reach the hotel - the end station, they all know what it means.
I like to think that it's the same Frenchman from the first part of the film from when he was a younger man (the one playing poker when Buster Scruggs arrives at the saloon at Frenchman's Gulch) and thus his time is come along with the lady and the trapper.
I'm pretty sure it is. Maybe not literally, but there's definitely SOME kind of connection. I doubt it's a coincidence they're both poker-playing Frenchman with the exact same look. It's also worth remembering the last time we saw Krumholtz as the younger Frenchman, Buster sings the line "Wherever he's gambling now, I don't know", only for Krumholtz to cheer "We don't know!" That HAS to be an allusion to this segment.
@@doctorthirteen5727 I'm no expert, but to me, the trapper COULD represent Mr. Arthur. What with his work ethic and his life revolving around nothing but his trade. Especially since the trapper talked of his companionship with a native-american woman and that Mr. Arthur slew a whole bunch of them. That's just my take on it. Edit: a whole bunch of native-americans.*
Doctor Jodie I don’t know if the movie works like that. There are many different symbolic threads woven between these unrelated pieces. The wound that killed Buster and Alice Longebaugh. The Frenchman The miner makes a reference to “who ever heard of a bird that could count?” Or something like that. The old song, “street of Laredo” and its earlier variation open and close the movie. I like the comparison of the trapper to Mr. Arthur but i don’t think they’re so directly connected. the Coens make real art, so we could sit around and discuss it for hours. Their movies are like literature.
This is my favorite chapter of the whole buster scruggs collection. This is the only chapter that made me laugh out loud and this particular scene is where the hilarity is at its peak. Ah and I would like to note that I rarely laugh to a movie and I love the whole collection of buster scruggs tales.
The Coen Brothers delivered one of the finest screenplays ever in cinematic history. Not only with this film. If you enjoyed this dialogue, you should definitly watch Millers Crossing. That movie is another example of wondeful stortytelling with an outstanding screenplay by the Coens.
I think it was boring and pretentious. Just didn’t feel real in any way except maybe the gold digger one but even that I called it as soon as I realized what he was doing that someone was waiting for him to find it
Basically, he’s calling out on her self-assuredness that her husband loved her unconditionally until his end, because being an uptight woman who looks down the nose upon others with contempt, not to mention being cold and aloof would make it very difficult for any man to love that woman unconditionally.
I love that Frenchman. I mean, I don't agree with him and I don't particularly think we'd be friends, but the ire he draws from the other passengers is too good not to get into. And I don't really know if it stems from his absurdist-subjectivist-snarkiness, or because he's too French to be otherwise.
I saw this movie recently. It was a great collection of shorts that were some of the best acting and cinematography I've seen in years. I, like many others, would love to have seen the Buster Scruggs story to have been a full length feature. It's not easy to make a western look, cool, funny, serious and yet be a bit of a parody at the same time. But they did it.
I found this movie so interesting, all sections have their own life to it, but my favourite section was the section here in the carriage, all five of these great actors did their part, I particularly like the facial expressions of the lady and her intonations, all in all a great movie, in my opinion of course
How did I not realize that was David Krumholtz? I still remember him as the head elf Bernard in The Santa Clause. It’s amazing what time, acting, and a well-shot film can do to change a person like a shapeshifter.
Actually in this scene, that's Saul Rubinek, who was in Warehouse 13. David Krumholtz played a similar but younger character in the story with Buster Scruggs. en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Saul_Rubinek
When I watch shows about the afterlife and our journey towards it I ponder how will I go to where I am to go. Will I be driven there, will I walk up a seemingly endless stares or will I stand at the edge of absence and asked where I should go and why
I kinda didn't get this segment.. Is the ballad driver and that guy with kane carrying those people to afterlife? Or are they the manifestations of the death that came to mortal world? The ending really spooked me.

She's also in one of the Dirty Harry's as his partner and she gets behind a LAW and Harry grabs her at the last minute from the back blast. Funny scene.
Look at these three fools, listening to a man's story about the story not being about another person! They don't realize he's talking about them! Good thing we aren't those three, right?
Pretty sure he's just a Frenchman, he seems to have a moment of accepting his own fate at the very end. That wouldn't make any sense if he was "in on it", and he wouldn't have been pretending because there was nobody left to see.
I believe the Frenchman. Lady, and trapper were all dead souls. Two bounty hunters were grim reapers (hunters of souls) and the coach their conveyance to the afterlife. "He wont stop," says the talkative bounty hunter about the carriage driver. "He never stops."
at first I thought they were all on their way to Hell, but towards the end I think they were on their way to be judged instead. The puritanical self righteous woman looked less and less confident about her fate, and I seem to remember the hotel doors representing the pearly gates. I need to watch it again though, its a difficult story to digest
@@carpii I thought the whole point was that there's no definitive answer to where they're going. The lady is right to lose confidence because she has no way of knowing whether her self-perceived righteousness means anything beyond the doors of that house.
I like how the Trapper may not be the most socially adept fellow, but he still doesn't like seeing someone bullied.
The greatest part of that whole section of the movie was how when it started out the light was more bright and yellow and the conversation polite and pleasant and as it progressed it got darker and grey as they got closer to that destination.

I came in watching the ballad of buster scruggs expecting to see one decent movie, instead I got five excellent movies.
What about the sixth one?
I love the look on the trappers face when the Frenchmen says her husband may accept love, especially if she is comely. Kind of a "yeahhhhhhh."
He seemed more upset at the fact he said that than an act of acceptance, The Trapper is an old timer through-and-through
