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.
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.
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.
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.
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.
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.
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.
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!
@@ben_spiller Funny thing is, I saw him years ago in a movie called *Golden Balls* (1993), and it was somewhat romantic but it was also a tragic comedy.
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
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
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
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.
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.
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
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 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.
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 .
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!
The ending is very cryptic and divisive. Many say it's great until the ending, however I feel the meaning of it. Reality guarantees no happy ending. It's a strong theme in the movie. Even Anton gets fucked up in the car accident.
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’. 😎🙏🏾
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.
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👀👀
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.
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
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.
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.
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.
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
@@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.
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!
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.
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.
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 am old at 68. I have seen over 2k films and this amazing film is in my top 5 of all time. I love the way you get the ironic dark humor because it is very funny in so many spots. I have seen it 5-6 x and I see more every time. Generally it shows greed is bad. And unfortunately sometimes evil defeats good. Even after Anton gets in severe accident he escapes. Sheriff Bell can’t handle the world anymore and just has brutal dreams. One of the most powerful and important scenes was Carla Jean and Anton. She is one of the purest parts of the film and she refuses to play his game and call it. Even though she dies in a small way she wins. That is why he gets in accident otherwise he never would have the red light runner hit him. And did you notice zero music in entire film. So intense you don’t notice. Very nice reaction guys. You will catch more on rewatch Fantastic film- near perfection
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.
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)
In the book, Carson and Anton had served together in the special forces. Maybe they were both in Vietnam (just because Carson said *he* was). In the book, you get the impression that Chigurh was the “worse” one in the special forces. The book really gives no more info than that and what’s in the movie.

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".
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

@@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!
If you haven't noticed by now ... there's no music or soundtrack or anything. The tension is built up without it.
"I wouldn't worry about it."
The case is 2.4 million.
SHOW ME THE MONEY!
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.
Best reactors on UA-cam hands down .
Ed Tom is Andy Griffith and his deputy is Barney Fife.
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.
I love this flick. Nice reaction.
Glad you enjoyed it
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 have a clue 😊! I've watched this several times. Great everything, cast, story, cinema photography! Love your channel!
I am old at 68. I have seen over 2k films and this amazing film is in my top 5 of all time. I love the way you get the ironic dark humor because it is very funny in so many spots. I have seen it 5-6 x and I see more every time.
Generally it shows greed is bad. And unfortunately sometimes evil defeats good. Even after Anton gets in severe accident he escapes. Sheriff Bell can’t handle the world anymore and just has brutal dreams.
One of the most powerful and important scenes was Carla Jean and Anton. She is one of the purest parts of the film and she refuses to play his game and call it. Even though she dies in a small way she wins. That is why he gets in accident otherwise he never would have the red light runner hit him.
And did you notice zero music in entire film. So intense you don’t notice. Very nice reaction guys. You will catch more on rewatch
Fantastic film- near perfection
Wow great job showing and commenting on the movie. Thanks.
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.
Four Rooms is a hidden gem. Great job 👏
As is _The Room..._
i love how there is no music or score throughout the movie, until the end credits

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)
Gotta do Burn after reading next it's a fantastic flick!
And underrated. I guess that's only possible since they make very few lackluster movies.
His car hit was RANDOM CHANCE.
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 🔥
People don’t realize he didn’t kill the big lady cause he heard someone in the bathroom.. only reason she got off easy
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.
The hunter became the hunted
DIALOGUE. This movies does it great.
Miller's Crossing 1990 was great & not done much by reaction channels
I REALLY LIKE YOUR TAKE ON THIS MOVIE. YOU TWO ARE VERY GOOD AT THIS.
In the book, Carson and Anton had served together in the special forces. Maybe they were both in Vietnam (just because Carson said *he* was). In the book, you get the impression that Chigurh was the “worse” one in the special forces. The book really gives no more info than that and what’s in the movie.
There will be blood-Watch it,PLEASE
