When Javier Bardem saw his haircut, he said, out loud, "I'm not getting laid for 3 months." XD
He is low-key a hot motherfucker too. It's just the haircut.😂
😂😂😂😂😂
The way the deputy says “OH SHERIFF, WE JUST MISSED HIM!” makes me laugh every time. Lol
Same lol
Facts he got so excited lol
Alright. What we circulate? Lookin' for a man who has recently drunk milk?
It reminds me of when Brad Pit asks "What's in the box?" in the movie "Seven".
....And yeah, the fact this film has 0 score is one of my favorite things about it. It really puts you in the moments.
We agree 100%
Anton is a character that'll stick with me forever. Dude killed the role.
Literally
“Call it.”
Along with everything and everyone else
Javier earned that Oscar.
You guys should read the book. Cormac McCarthy was a master of the metaphor. Y'all talked about Anton's gun and the sound it made. The book describes it as: "Chigurh shot him three times so fast it sounded like one long gunshot and left most of the upper part of him spread across the headboard and the wall behind it. The shotgun made a strange deep chugging sound. Like someone coughing into a barrel." That's absolutely stellar wording- Creative and probably accurate as fuck. Cormac was a god.
Facts! I don't even think one is better than the other. The book is just a next level experience.
Cool. What's the book say about the gas station scene? I had to watch it few times to understand. The clerk basically told him he read the license plate off his stolen car, and Javier seems is stressing about having to killing him over it. So, his questions are not looking for an excuse to kill him, rather to not kill him, he uses a quarter to make the discission for him. Is that how the book tells it?
@@treystone9464I don’t think he necessarily was worried about the clerk noticing the stolen car, but instead was “annoyed” that it’s implied that the clerk was watching him. It could also be both.
The Coen brothers also did 'The Big Lebowski.' Check that out next.
This here. I love.the contrast between their movies.
The dude abides
Nah, that movie is garbage
@@LandonMetochoi Yeah well, that’s just like… your opinion, man
@@nepesilva2284 LOL! ok perfect retort, you win 😂😂
Sheriff Ed Tom's uncle (the dude in the wheelchair) gives an all timer of a monologue towards the end of the movie. Just a superb flick.
that actor was great in BCS too. "why don't I just spread my l3g$ and you can kick me in the B@!!$. "
The scene with the coin flip, and the gas station is a master class of cinema. The acting, cinematography, scenery.
I've heard young people say that that scene was shown to them in film class. As a textbook perfect scene on building tension.
Iconic. Both actors paired forever here. Like Fred Astaire and Ginger Rogers
It's EXTREMELY difficult to go wrong with a Coen Bros. movie, any of them. You could get a whole playlist just off of them and probably not be disappointed once.
This is one of my all time favorites. Its damn near a horror movie lol. Even dudes haircut was scary
😂😂😂
46:31 The reason he suspects someone might be in there is because the lock on the door is missing. He saw that earlier in the film when him and his deputy visited the mobile home that Llewellyn, and Carla were living in.
Anton Chigurh is a proper VILLAIN. He's calculated, he's methodical, he's a seasoned killer, and he has no remorse or regret. The brilliance of this character is he holds no super power or extraordinary attributes, he could be the guy you see in the grocery store that sorta creeps you out but you don't know why. There are no ethics or morality that enters into it, it is an end goal and it will be reached, or he will die trying, but it's all the same to him because this is all he has.
Ever see Uncut Gems with Adam Sandler? Guy that murders him at the end has that same dead eyed look. Creepy. Guys name is Keith William Richards. Guy they discovered on the street that may/may not been in the mob. Wouldn't be surprised if he has done that in real life. Or he's a great actor? Evil jumped off the screen
Woody Harrelson's character is based off a hitman from Texas who killed a senator. The hitman? His OWN DAD. Yes Woody Harrelson's dad was a hitman look it up.
You mean the hitman that shot JFK in the throat? Oh yeah, that is correct sir.
His father assassinated a federal judge, not a senator. Otherwise, this is 100% accurate.
@@joshbates9015 Yep ya right forgot what it was
Apparently there’s also a rumor that Woody’s assassin father is also the biological father of Matthew McConaughey after having smashed Matt’s mom back in the day. Not sure if it’s true but it’s hilarious in the context of True Detective.
@redted12345
I heard about that, and I guess Matt, at some point, proposed getting a DNA test. If they haven't done it, I can only assume that it's because they decided that they were already brothers enough by choice that knowing the DNA results would be irrelevant, which would be wholesome as fuck.
Sheriff Ed Tom didn’t see Anton’s reflection at the motel. He saw that Anton used the piston bolt to knock out the lock on the door and that he still might be there, which he was 👀. He knew that if he walked into the room he might be killed.
Anton was in the room next to the room that sherrif was in, anton checked that room and realized Brolin character pushed it to the back of the vent to the other room like he did before
If I remember correctly, they were inspired for Chiguhr's haircut after seeing an old photo of a guy in a brothel with a similar haircut from decades ago. Javier Bardem who play Chiguhr's character told them something to the effect of, "I'm not going to get laid for 3 months" and they high-fived each other when he said that to them. lol
Fun fact: Woody Harrelson's father was a hitman. One of the people he killed was a judge in Texas, which is referenced in this film.
Regarding the motel rooms, Anton's first entry (into an identical room) was to case the room: check the layout, check for possible hiding spots, check the thickness of the walls, etc.). When he entered the occupied room, he knew what to expect and could come in hot.
I didn’t understand that on the first couple viewings. It’s so clever.
Hard to believe the actress playing his wife actually has a very Scottish accent in real life.
Shes great in HBOs Boardwalk Empire. Someone's gotta get these guys do that series already, now that they've covered Sopranos & True Detective
Love you guys but Moss not having a motive to take the money? He lives in a trailer!
fair enough!
Yeah the Coen brothers are dope af. If you wanna check out some of their more comical, less violent (somewhat) films, I'd recommend Burn After Reading, or O' Brother Where Art Thou. Also for another classic Woody Harrelson joint, check out White Men Can't Jump if y'all haven't already, I think y'all would enjoy that lol. But yo that scene towards the end when Tommy Lee's character goes back to the motel after the shootout; Chigur was really there. The sheriff's hesitation was because he noticed the lock had been popped off, like bro did with the air gun. And once inside, they keyed in on the vent grate with the coin, to imply that Chigur made off with the money, cause he knew Luellyn was hiding it in the vent, but the cartel didn't. He just managed to dip out the window or something in that little time before the sheriff came in.
You guys are killing it with the movie selections. Low key I thought I’d be done with this channel after sopranos cuz you didn’t have much else going on. But you guys are hitting it out of the park with the movies. LA confidential, insider, fear and loathing, taxi driver, Fargo etc…nobodies hitting these grown up no bullshit real ass movies. Keep it up. Goodfellas and Casino double feature next please!
glad to have you sticking around!
It is said that Anton Chugur is possibly the most evil antagonist in cinema. Did u notice there was like no soundtrack to this either ? Just silence . How do you think he would stack up against Lorne Malvo ? Or Hanzee ? They were pretty deadly also . The Coen Bros. can cook up some scary dudes. "Burn after reading" is another good one by them also .
Burn After Reading was hilarious. Anyone hating on Brad Pitt's acting skills need to watch that movie to shut up
To this day, the clips you drop in fucking kill me every time. Y'all's editing is top fucking tier.
🙏🏾🙏🏾🙏🏾 we appreciate the kind words
Excellent choice, guys, and great reaction as always.
About Anton's gun, he uses a Remington 11-87 shotgun with a custom made suppressor that was created just for the movie. The shotgun is real but both the suppressor and the sound effect are not. In fact, that particular model of shotgun wasn't made until the late 80s while the story takes place in 1980
Bruh, you guys would love Big Lebowski from the Cohen Brothers, especially with Fargo fresh in the back of your mind.
VERY different but great. Don't want them to expect another Fargo/No Country ha
Please stop recommending this
My two Coen favorites, with a lighter touch, are Raising Arizona and O Brother Where Art Thou
O BROTHER is probably my favorite all-time. But also from them RAISING ARIZONA, THE HUDSUCKER PROXY, BURN AFTER READING...
Burn After Reading and Hail, Caesar are underrated.
Modern classic, easily in my top 3 Coen flicks. Excellent movie on all fronts. The quietness just amps up the tension so deliciously. Bardem - yes pun - slaughters his role, but the whole cast is operating at a very high level. Immaculate Roger Deakins cinematography. Love that sequence where Anton is shooting from the corner stealthy as shit, even when the car rides past the corner you _barely_ see him. The sound design is phenomenal throughout.
ps. As I've now watched enough of your videos to know what kind of characters you dig, I would definitely recommend "Miller's Crossing" from the Coen library, it is awesome.
Wendall, the chief’s partner, also has a major role in HBO’s epic, three season masterpiece called ‘Deadwood’. I know I keep harping on it, but unless you block me, I’mma gonna keep on bringin it up…..along with the other 2 season masterpiece called ‘Rome’. 😎🙏🏾
That's John Dorie! Like the fish but with no y, lol
@@lisainthecold4287 he was outstanding as Jack MaCall in ‘Deadwood’. He played him historically accurate. Great actor.😎
@@WiseGuy5674I've never seen Deadwood but heard alot about it. I'll check it out
The movie makes a lot more sense when you realize Tommy Lee Jones is the main character. Brolin represents greed, Chigur represents mindless violence, and Jones represents "law and order," who always feel their time is the most violent and unable to stop it, but America has been this violent since the beginning.
The man in the wheelchair towards the end is another great Texas actor Barry Corbin he has such a distinctive voice.
I’m glad y’all are doing films. Keep ‘em coming
The goal is every Wednesday 🤞🏾
"You can't stop what's coming."
Now, watch The Counselor, Cormac McCarthy's thematic sequel, to see what came.
i've seen quite a few reactions to this great film, but i really enjoyed yours , both entertaining and perceptive . thanks !
Glad you enjoyed it
In my top 5 of all-time!!!That was a fun watch fellas.Bring on There will be blood.
Tommy Lee Jameson fucking killed it in this movie. Might be his best work!
Agent K's best work is Agent K.
Can't miss with the Coen Brothers...Think you guys would like Blood Simple, their first movie (with a bunch of twists and turns) and Miller's Crossing (old school mobsters). Both have a similar mood to this one. Great reaction!
👉🏼 you've absolutely got to watch "there will be blood" came out the same tear as this
Patreon members have requested it. It will happen eventually.
@@KillstormSH noice
Thanks!
18:35 That the lady was so no-nonsense straightforward sticking to her work ethics was what saved her life. She acted in the way he respects, which made him hesitate. Until something happens that made him realize the risks were too high.
Makes sense
He also heard someone in the bathroom so he knew they weren't alone. It wasn't worth the risk.
No, he didn’t see his reflection. He saw that the lock had been shot out of the door, just like it had been at Moss’s trailer. He knew the assassin had been there.
good call
Masterpiece
Instant
Anton Chigurh will always be in my top 10 movie characters of all time.
😂never clicked on a reaction so fast!! You boys def need to do more of these classics!
I remember seeing this in the theater and being so happy after the first kill. It made the couple making out next to me stop 😂.
You guys are on a hot roll. Many of us love this modern classic, and there are few things better than watching others make the discovery. And best of all, you guys are easily among a small percentage of the very best reactors. Most people don’t even catch the subtle but rich factor of no musical score.
I’m always curious to see which title or TV series you’ll cover next. There’s such a large and great universe of work to choose from as time passes. The Coens have a particularly fine catalog to explore, including some wacky comedies that are often twisted and sometimes dark. But whatever you choose along the way, I’m here for it.
🙏🏾 we appreciate the support. It actually is pretty amazing to see how many films/shows can pass you by in life without a second thought. We're grateful to have a community that requests gems like this movie here.
The most tense coin toss scene in cinema history and they even got a two face actor in this movie.
The black case holding the money is the exact same case holding the $1 million dollars in Fargo.
I'll buy that. A fun fact I hadn't heard.
This is my top five movies of all time. Just incredible !
Definite banger, glad to have experienced it
i've heard that a study was done of the fictional killers/serial killers in media (movies and tv) and they said that the Anton character is one of the most accurate portrayals of how a real psychopath would be and act
Another Coen brothers #Classic
Cheers! If you like Coen Brothers movies I think you will love "Miller's Crossing" a 1990 American neo-noir gangster film written, directed and produced by the Coen brothers and starring Gabriel Byrne, Marcia Gay Harden, John Turturro, Jon Polito, J. E. Freeman, and Albert Finney. The plot concerns a power struggle between two rival gangs
MILLER'S CROSSING with the "Danny Boy" scene... epic!
@@citizenbobx Yeah. Almost no one react to that little gem. Such a shame.
The boys on the bikes, cards in the spokes. Kids. Giving the shirt off his back. When he takes the "blood" money - they are corrupted.
Wild, was literally going to request this
The actor who played Anton won the academy award for his role, but his name escapes me now. There were several awards and nominations for this one including best picture for that year👀👀
His name is Javier Bardem.
Yes a very good actor and certainly well deserved👀👀
The anecdote about dispatching a cow with an air gun is an insight into Chigurh, who sees most of the people he kills as cattle.
Recommended Joel & Ethan movie: ''Blood Simple'', ''Raising Arizona'', ''Miller's Crossing'' (still my favorite), ''Barton Fink'', ''The Hudsucker Proxy'', ''The Big Lebowski'', ''O Brother, Where Art Thou?'', ''The Man Who Wasn't There'', ''The Ladykillers'', ''Burn After Reading'', ''A Serious Man'', ''True Grit'', ''Inside Llewyn Davis'' & ''The Ballad of Buster Scruggs''
Are these all Coen Brothers movies?
@@FriendRequestReviewsyeah, along with Fargo which I think you guys already saw. Top tier directors
@@FriendRequestReviews Yes, and I've mentioned all my favorites, I didn't like ''Hail, Caesar!'' and ''Intolerable Cruelty'' is funny, but not that great imo...most Coen ''fans'' didn't like ''The Ladykillers'', but to me it's hilarious, and I love the original 1955 movie (Yep, it's a remake, that's probably the main reason why most people didn't like it ) with Alec Guinness and Peter Sellers.
@@toothbrushfromnisemonogatari that's why I didn't mention ''Fargo'' and, of course, their other masterpiece ''No Country For Old Men''
I was just going to make basicly the same comment, with one addition. No love for "Crimewave"? I know many find it too silly and/or annoying, basically unwatchable, but I love it!
After both watch the movie and reading the novel, I interpret this story as a philosophical exploration of free will vs. determinism/fate. Chigur represents the anti-free will, which is why he relies on the coin to decide; he’s not free to choose. Also, when he tells Carla Jean “I wouldn’t worry about it” paying the bills. It’s like he knew, even with a coin toss, what the outcome would be.
"Fargo" is a COMEDY.
i love how there is no music or score throughout the movie, until the end credits
A friend of mines aunt used to work at hotel. She found a briefcase full of money cleaning a room she was smart enough to turn it in.
The Big Lebowski... should be next
The lady who played Tommy Lee's wife also played Jesse Pinkman's mom in Breaking Bad.
I keep forgetting how damn cute Kelly Macdonald is in this. Anyone who hasn't seen Boardwalk Empire, check her out in that.
As awesome as this movie is, there's a technical plot hole: No way a tracker signal gets through that deep into a metal vent. It's basically a Faraday cage.
Four Rooms is a hidden gem. Great job 👏
As is _The Room..._
Most of the Coen movies are great. Big Lebowski is their masterpeice. Plus Oh brother where art thou and Raising Arizona need to go on FRR's short list too.
most underrated reaction channel on youtube
So many quotable lines.
Great casting.
NO MUSIC.
And it teaches us that everything in life is random, and you can't fight it.
Nothing was resolved.
And this is why this is the greatest movie ever made in my humble opinion.
I agree! I think a lot of people miss that the universe is way more random than they are comfortable with and the Coen Brothers tap into that in this movie.
Magnolia does this better than any movie ever released. No Country being a close second.
“I wonder how much is in there, pull it out”. If only 😔
Ed Tom is Andy Griffith and his deputy is Barney Fife.
Hmm... the that's vanity guy sounds like Acker from BCS. And Jesse's mom from bb. I'm seeing these actors more now. 😂
yep.
19:42 Best Line Ever🤣🤣😂😂
Great Reaction, Salute !
The girl who played Carla Jean is actually Scottish. She did a great job with the Texas accent. Thank you for this review. I enjoyed it very much.
Javier Bardem is just completely terrifying. Best villain in the last 20yrs
Also a surprise Woody Harelson in the back half.. what more can you ask!😂
Was just planning on showing this movie to my friend. Crazy coincidence lol
You're a good friend, and your friend is lucky to have you
@@FriendRequestReviews thanks a lot 🔥
Best reactors on UA-cam hands down .
His car hit was RANDOM CHANCE.
This is the first FRR video to hit 1k likes. Congratulations! This reaction is one for the books.
One of the GOATS. Also check out,
Three Billboards Outside Ebbing, Missouri (Frances McDormand)
Blood Simple (Frances McDormand) (Coen brothers)
Miller's Crossing (Coen brothers)
The Man Who Wasn't There (Frances McDormand) (Coen brothers)
"but wait, there's more! *Cindy's face 😮* loll
Had to jump on this video especially after seeing the LA Confidential one , both crazy masterpieces!!!!
Thanks, we appreciate the support 🙏🏾
"I wouldn't worry about it."
I love this flick. Nice reaction.
Glad you enjoyed it
This movie is set in the early 80s. Back then, you could walk or drive right across the border stations with little to no problems at all. I did it many times when I lived in Houston, TX.
If you haven't noticed by now ... there's no music or soundtrack or anything. The tension is built up without it.
“Fresh” 1994
Great suggestion
I've seen it, but not sure if Bralik has.
Easily the best breakdown of 1 of my top 5 movies of all time! Thanks
"Oh so its alright when they fade to black, but i can't worry about a Jinx?"
American Made. Crazy true story. Tom Cruise was awesome in it.
I don't normally like reaction videos, but i really dig your style for these.
Props.
The Coen Brothers have a tendency to put one full on sociopath horror of a human in every movie. In Fargo, the guy who put his partner in the wood chipper, in this Anton, in the tv show, Malvo, the Indian from season 2…. Watch Miller’s Crossing & if you’re in the mood to have your brain fried, Barton Fink, the movie they wrote during a period of writer’s block over finishing Miller’s Crossing….
I just discovered you guys and I enjoy your reactions. This is one of my favorite movies of all time. I watch it at least a couple times a year. It's just amazing.
Welcome aboard!
Anton left and went back into the room to check the layout
No Country is my second favorite film after Casablanca (very different films, of course). Brilliant film. A film that explores existential themes and how tenuous our grasp is on understanding our place in the universe.
Love this movie! Have you guys watched Gran Torino yet? If not, please do!!
You should do "The Big Lebowski" next, another The Cohen movie! 👌🏻
4:08 - Holy crap! You figured out what that was at first glance. Most people have no idea until the end of the movie. Good catch.
we had just saw an episode of Fargo that had it lol, it was just perfect timing
Great reaction fellas
Great movie. No Country is 1 of the best and Great FRR reaction and after-talk👍
If you ever sat down with the Cormac McCarthy novel, of the same name, it will blow your mind. Screen play adaptation I thought was as good as it could be done movie.
