- What did Anton Chigurh do with the satchel of money in the 2007 film No Country For Old Men?
No Country For Old Men is a cat and mouse thriller about a regular Texan man, Llewelyn Moss, who comes across a satchel of over two million dollars.
The main antagonist, Anton Chigurh, pursues Llewelyn Moss and the satchel of money relentlessly. He eventually retrieves it, but what did he do with it? The answer to what Chigurh did with the money is in the novel.

One thing I noticed when I watched the movie was the scene with the two boys and the shirt. It seemed that the boys were very good friends but after the one gave up his shirt and got the money he became surely and arguing with his friend over whose money it was
There is definitely an undercurrent in that scene about what money does to people.
Good observation indeed. This is often the case with average people. Chigur however is sure to give the money to its owner I believe. He is not average, he is not even quite normal, you know.
I’ll second that ,didn’t cop it myself ..very good observation
Sugar and the other fella Moss both paid strangers for clothes when hurt, just saying!
Agreed, that was quite an inventive way to underscore human greed.
A side note to the filming. They had to stop filming for over a week because There Will be Blood was being filmed a few miles away. The thick smoke from the oil rig fire caused it. They had to wait until all the smoke had gone away.
I read about that. And interestingly, both There Will Be Book and NCFOM have a similar feel.
That actual incident sounds a little like something straight out of Cormac McCarthy: the choking smoke obscuring the landscape, and making them have to wait a week before continuing.
It was for a day lol. Not a week.
@@reggiebanksrb10Dick Crocco was the fire chief in command that fateful day
@@c.d.8975 the smoke may have persisted, but filming was not halted for a week. It just wasn’t.
“It’s not about the money. It’s about sending a message” really correlates with this movie
And those men are the most dangerous can't be bought or reasoned with.
@@GoldenLeo777-tp2rg...because some men just want see the world burn.
He went to the bank, exchanged the paper money for a bunch of rolls of quarters.
A fun bit of Coen brothers trivia: the satchel prop is the same one from Fargo.
Yes, that's very cool that they used the same one. There's a satchel in the first season of Fargo too. I wonder if that's also the same one.
Anton spent it on deluxe haircuts
It always made me wonder if Josh Brolin's character had just taken a few stacks not the whole briefcase would he have gotten away with it. His morality for coming back with the water doomed him and his wife.
I'd say he would have gotten away for sure. So long as he didn't take the stack with the transponder in it.
Not even that, he coulda just taken like half a million and left the guy and the rest of the money
Someone else explained him going back saved him because it caused him to leave home. Had he stayed home chigur would have easily tracked him down and found him possibly the very next day killing him and his wife
he had low conscientiousness, that was his downfall. a highly conscientious person would have checked for tracking devices, then transferred the money to a different container as soon as possible
he couldve won if he didnt return to the crime scene that night and inspected the money and satchel.
Glad to know I'm not the only one obsessed with Anton chigurh
He's fascinating. You read the novel too?
@@justinktobin in deed he is , it's there any information where the author inspired for Anton chigurh , I will read it just purchase a copy
@@miguelangelherrera5362 I saw some stuff online from McCarthy's archives. A page from the original manuscript showing his process to come up with the name Chigurh. I'd say it's my favourite novel. Other than that, I don't know if he based the character off of anyone in particular, but I think he deliberately made his last name untraceable.
@@justinktobin I also check for chigurh and there's no trace for he's nationality , only in Facebook it says that he lives in El Paso
I read the book, he gave the money back minus 100k that Llewelyn spends plus the expenses of chugr and he says in veiled words that Llewelyn life was only worth 100k. Chugr also says we're partners now ill be back to do business then the car crash happens and boom no country for old men 2 electric Boogaloo lol
Cute Texan Girl Voice: "What's in the satchel?"
It's fulla money.
@@justinktobin That'll be the day.
But, wait, at the end of the film. He leaves the wife's home empty handed in addition to the last shot we see of him walking away from the wreckage after his interaction with the boys. The last time we see the money case is when Moss is on the payphone talking to his wife. We have no idea who has the money (in the film)
Sould we assume the Mexican guys got it when they killed him?
Something I found unbelievable in the movie was when Anton was T-boned at the traffic, no one came out to see what
had happened. In real life, there would have been everyone in the neighborhood standing on the curb. I realized it was a
movie.
I didn't think about this until listening to you talk, he does his first good deed bringing the dying man water and is immediately punished, almost dies. it's bookended almost with him declining to drink and fool around with the girl, which he dies immediately after this. I guess it ties into what Anton said earlier, and I'm going to paraphrase, "What good did following the rules do if it led you to this?". He did the right thing twice and was punished twice, and what was the point? there was no reward at the end, just another anticlimactic death, not even shown on screen. I don't even know what I'm getting at yet, just like thinking about this book/ movie. cheers
He would have been tracked down regardless whether he hadn’t brought the man water or drank with the girl, but I guess it did make him more predictable if I was hunting him down.
what you're getting at is that to be a force of good in the world requires extreme caution and tolerance for struggle and suffering, and yes, death is a constant companion for those willing to battle the darkness.
Doing the right thing isn't always easy, and it isn't always safe. But had he just got the law involved from the beginning, he would have saved himself a bunch of trouble, and a lot of lives. And probably be given a chunk of cash for doing the right thing.@@cagneybillingsley2165
But...leaving to give the man water did at least prolong his life....made him to flee the trailer where he surely would have lost the money/his life when A.C. would gave showed up... tracking the loot
My mother always told me to look for two things: the dye pack, and the transponder. This is Kindergarten stuff.
Yep, two important things to prepare for if you find that much cash.
this was set at a time where trackers wouldn’t even be thought of
@@capitcha What?? This was 1980. Not 1880. 🤔
I love the book as well. I stopped by a bookstore and bought it on my way home after seeing the movie. When I finished the last page, I closed the book, turned it over and opened it to the first page and started it again. That's the only book I've ever done that with.
The movie is unclear as to whether Chigurh actually finds the money, though. The vent is too small for the satchel to have fit in it. Clearly, Chigurh opened the vent because he knew that's where Moss hid the money at the first motel.
Maybe--just maybe--Moss was killed by the Mexicans before he could find a safe place to hide the satchel. The Mexicans showed up, killed him and took the money, which was possibly just under the bed or something. Clearly, the killing had just taken place, considering how quickly they drove off, leaving one Mexican behind, still alive but dying on the ground. Surely, after killing Moss, they would have taken a moment to search the room, as they had come there specifically to retrieve the money. That they left so soon after the murder--still firing a few last shots--shows that they found the money quickly. Chigurh later shows up, checks the air duct, doesn't find it, gets interrupted by Sheriff Bell and takes off.
This scenario would subvert the ending of the novel, of course. But I think it's a more plausible theory as to what happened in the movie.
I am not trying to be overly nitpicky, (and yes, it is Hollywood)but I just don't see how he could just walk off with a compound fracture, I mean in regard to treating himself as he did with the leg wound. Surely the bone would have to be set and put in a cast. No way in he ll that he could do by himself. Plus his face was cut and bleeding, like nobody would notice that.
@@CoastShuttle Yeah. That scene where Chigurh blows up the car and robs the pharmacy and takes care of his gunshot wounds is really bad-ass. But unless he holds an emergency room hostage while they set his arm (and wouldn't that require actual surgery?).... I don't see how he gets out of that accident.
And the cool thing is that if this movie wasn't so amazing, we'd never be talking about this stuff.
@@TheUkester69 He is also known to go by Anton Ukester. Did you see what I just did there? DOH!! Nyuk, nyuk nyuk!
One of the few book adaptations that is equally good as a movie. Obviously not as deep, but the unanswered questions in the movie more closely resemble real life as you don’t usually get to see most of the answers. Dare I say a perfect film. (I’m quite expert on firearms so understand the liberties taken with Anton’s shotgun as well as his “humane” pneumatic captive bolt gun.)
I always got the impression from the film that Anton was too late, that the Mexicans beat him to the satchel and kill Llewellyn. The vent he expects it might be in is clearly too small for it to be inside. He looks broken, almost on the verge of tears when he and the sherif look at one another in the reflection of the hole where door lock once was.
Try readin the book! Or, maybe even watching the entirely of this video!
Yes, I thought that vent space was way too small to hold that case of money too.
Well, your impression is clearly wrong.
@@vampiresquid I have seen the movie, probably a dozen times. He's certainly shown putting the money in the vent in the Del Rio, but I don't recall seeing him place it in the vent in Desert Sands in El Paso. In fact I don't think we ever see the satchel for the remainder of the film after he retrieves it from beside the river, probably a deliberate choice by the Coen's and McCarthy
I also thought the Mexicans got the money, same as you. McCarthy’s book apparently clears that up, but I think the Coens deliberately made it ambiguous in the movie.
Probably lost it in a coin toss
Haha!
Thank you for this.
Well done Justin. Well done.
Very good explanation, glad this movie is getting more attention.
You’re welcome! Definitely one of the best films.
... glad this novel is getting more attention !
@@justinktobin ... as a reader of the novel i am veryvery curious abt more content of yours ! ;-)
@@sbseg Yes I picked up the novel because I heard it was great as well. There are definitely some aspects of the book that aren't in the film that are just as profound
thanks for the video
You're welcome!
Thanks for these videos they are really good! No country for old men is probably my favourite film for many reasons, 2 of the most important reasons why are because obviously it is just a brilliant film I love it all its iconic in my mind but the other reason is I went to the cinema to see this film when it first came out in 2007 with my dad who is no longer with us so I hold that memory dear and every time I watch the film I feel im with my dad again and it reminds me of him alot. Thanks again for your content on this film.
I always figured he took the money went back to the trailer park where Llewellyn Moss lived ask the heavyset desk clerk lady out on a date they fell in love had six kids and still run the trailer park till this day
Sound assessment of what probably happened. But first, he killed her husband on the toilet.
The film is the same as the book. In the movie it’s implied that he did keep some money (the cash he holds at the end) but he didn’t have the suit case as he left the car crash. This implies two things, he returned it to the “accountant”, and that he didn’t kill the accountant.
The film goes to lengths to make you figure things out own your own by dissecting the character of Anton and his quirks to get the answers (Like checking the bottom of his shoes for blood, or purposely leaving behind evidence at a crime scene to toy with the law).
I suppose the filmmakers wanted to put you in the perspective of what the thought process would be like for the police to try to capture a criminal like this because the old ways of capturing someone like Anton would not work.
Hey thanks a lot. I might have to check out the book. Anton was a man with principles.
You're welcome, and I highly recommend the novel. Cormac McCarthy might be my favourite author. Anton Chigurh is fascinating and mysterious, principled but psychopathic.
No Country for Old Men is in some ways a lesser Cormac McCarthy novel, which still makes it one of the very greatest novels in all of American literature. His novel Blood Meridian is frequently called ‘the great American novel’, and it is that for me. I hope someone figures out how to finally make a movie of it… many have tried, none have succeeded so far.
It would be awesome if the Coens did Blood Meridian too. I've also been wondering why hasn't that been made into a film yet. You would think someone would have purchased the production rights by now. And yes, even the lesser Cormac McCarthy novels are still masterpieces. I think he has a couple of novels coming out this year.
@@justinktobin it’s been in development hell for decades. At one point Tommy Lee Jones owned the film rights, and he tried for years to get it made, he would’ve been a great director for it, his Homesman and 3 Burials both have a very Cormac feel. Ridley Scott also tried to get it made, but studios are scared of it because it is soooo violent, it might end up rated X.
@Ron Bock I might give Blood Meridian another read through right after I finish All The Pretty Horses. And yes, it's so violent it makes me wonder if it'd get the audience studios home for.
This was dope... I love that movie and never knew that it started as a novel. I'll definitely be reading that soon, just so the movie watches different
Love this movie. Great insight from you. I need to read the novel. Absolute interesting dynamic twists and especially the craft of the characters. Watched the movie several times.
If you like the book, no country for old men, and I absolutely love it and have read it twice and I’m about to read it a third time, then you absolutely have to read the road I know many people like no country more or his Civil War book more but personally, the road is my favorite. It’s absolutely haunting and leaves you thinking for a long time after reading. Plus the way in which it was written is absolutely amazing. Much like no country which has its own bizarre style of writing. That’s why reading no country is so much more important than listening to it as an audiobook. You have to experience it through the actual words, and not through sound.
Excellent video.
Thanks Luis!
Thank you. I always assumed that he was planning to give the money to some powerful agent but now I know the rest of the story... shoulda read the book. BUT one thing bugs me. Llewelyn didn't shut the truck door when the shot guy begged him too... "The door... there are wolves." and Moss says, "there aint no wolves and leaves with the door open. I don't think that same guy woulda ever been bothered enough to bring him back water in the wee hours... it just doesn't align but its just a story so I'll take a valium and forget about it :)
Yoooo hook it up playa, i am tryna forget that detail too
He probably wasn't gonna go back but it gnawed at him like wolves
@@HighFalutinTootin "There ain't no lobos." Yeh you're right of course... he married Carla Jean. You know he's got some "good" in him somewheres...hiding. I didn't hate Chigur until I saw him check his boots. Dirty
Why did he park his truck so far away...up the hill?
Wow what an excellent explanation for this movie , I really didn't get it until now
Thank you
Currently I am reading another novel, but No Country For Old Men will be the next I am about to read. Like always, it will be a pleasure to compare the book and the film.
It has a very cool prose and formatting. There are no quotation marks and dialogue tags are used sparingly. Sometimes it has a cinematic feel, like you’re reading a script. My favourite novel.
I read the novel and saw the movie. Now I see I need to revisit them.
You should. I’ll probably do the same again soon.
My favorite movie as well!
Subscribed 💪🏼😎👍🏼
Thanks!
MY favorite film also, yet Far from the Madding Crowd is my favorite book. Peacez
He brought some milk.
Hahaha!
where did he bring it from?
@@chriswhite9838 the fridge.
He bought a bionic arm
Great movie! Great acting! It has that same kind of feel as another "NOT the feel good movie of the summer" Unforgiven with Clint Eastwood.
There are a lot of movies that leave this open
More Please
I'll have another video up this Saturday.
Anton hiding in the room with his gun out as the sheriff walks up to the room.
Yet not there when the officer enters. 🤔
Chigurh was never hiding in the room. What we're seeing in that moment is Sheriff Bell's imagination. "Is he in there, waiting for me? Am I walking in to my death?" Since the whole movie is about facing death and living life on your own terms, that scene is the story in a nutshell. Bell faces his death but still does his duty.
I thought he hid behind the front door and left when sheriff bell entered the bathroom
@@samarrenvelexian9592 If you watch closely when Bell opens the door you can tell there is no room behind it. I think that was done deliberately to show Chigurh had nowhere to hide and was not there.
liked it thanks
You're welcome!
Have you ever read Cormac McCarthy’s other novel Blood Meridian? If you are fascinated by Anton I’m sure you’d find Judge Holden from that book fascinating as well. He is like Anton but much more evil and much more philosophical
I've read it about eight years ago, but I'll be reading it again. The Judge is fascinatingly evil for sure, and someone I might do a video on, so thanks for the suggestion.
About the most terrifying book I've ever read. Like 'Paradise Lost' for atheists.
I've read five or six Cormac McCarthy novels. Those novels led me to believe that McCarthy was a deeply disturbed man.
@@toshikotanaka3249
I think you're right, t. We often celebrate these artists if they're talented and able, mostly, to challenge this pathology into their art. It's better that the murderous misanthropes become fictional characters than news stories. If, along the way, we get some psychological insights, that's useful, too.
@@rickrose5377 Oh I agree, much better to write about extreme graphic violence than to practice it. I'm just saying that if you're an author that's known for incorporating large amounts of extreme graphic violence in your novels, you may want to make an appointment with a therapist and find out why you feel this needs to be addressed again and again.
No bull! I've seen the movie well over 100 times and counting. I that 'great'!!
It’s pretty amazing. I may watch it again this weekend. Haha.
awesome
Thanks!
after watching the movie i realised pretty quickly the movie isnt about materials
Man if you want to talk about real fun facts about this movie too screw the whole fact about There Will Be Blood being filmed down the road that's stupid. The thing that most people should actually point out is when Woody Harrelson is talking about the Hitman murdering a judge, that actually happened and the murder of that judge was actually Woody Harrelson's own father, that is one of the best movie facts mixed with reality and nonetheless the actors own father.
I 100% think he killed the accountant
Now that is something that is not in the novel. There's no accountant in that scene in McCarthy's book, just Chigurh and the man who hires Wells. Perhaps that's an idea for another video.
@@justinktobin yes but I don't see anyway Chigurh wouldn't kill him
@Big Boss He asks "Do you see me?" And this reminds me of what Carson Wells said to Llewelyn Moss. "You've seen him? And you ain't dead?" So perhaps he did kill him, although Chigurh sometimes gives people the opportunity to save themselves with a coin toss.
@@justinktobin the main thing is that he asks him "that depends do you see me" is like when he asked Carson "if the rule you follow brought you to this of what use was the rule" he asking them questions they can't really answer because there's no right answer.
@@bigboss4993 Maybe he was being cold-blooded with Carson, telling him that everything he did in life has been in vain because of what Chigurh was about to do to him. A way of telling him that his life was pointless. It reminds me of the butterfly effect theory. The Coens threw in the "do you see me?" line, and there's a lot more dialogue in the novel with Chigurh talking about life, choices and free will. Even in the scene with Carla Jean there's a lot more that's said. In a way it's a philosophical story.
Hey! I’ve a complaint. I watched several of your videos about NCFOM and really enjoyed it. I then went to bed and dreamed Chigurh was a customer of mine. He had a complaint about the work and wanted to see me. I went round and explained to him it was his error. He wasn’t entirely happy and said he would call by my house later . I then woke up. I’ve now got to go to bed this evening and hope I don’t dream Part 2
He started a coin collection.
If llewelyn had not gone back he n his wife would have lived maybe but that receiver may have revealed his location still. Idk. 😂
I'm diagnosed ASPD+NPD (psychopath and narcissist) and this is presumably the same pathology as Anton Chigurh or at least a forensic psychiatrist speculated this much in a GQ interview/movie psychopaths.
Part of or central to this construct is an inability and refusal to be humiliated... a 'need to triumph.' This at a potential or ongoing expense; even to the detriment of the afflicted (self sabotage, eventually 'losing' etc)
So that would explain some of his behavior and mandates at a more fundamental level and could be interesting to fans of the movie/character.
Who would be a scarier hitter? Luca Brasi from the Godfather or Anton Chigurh?
Luca Brasi is way scarier in the novel. But I think Chigurh is scarier overall.
Luca is more savage and brutish, while Anton would be much more pragmatic in his approach. I think both would be equally terrifying.
The satchel should weigh 44 pounds, which would be $2 million in $100 notes.
Llewelyn tosses the bag over the bridge when he is seriously injured, doing that with just over 20 kilos requires a big effort.
People think that cash is easy to transport, but the CIA guys going into Afghanistan after 9/11 had 2 or 3 suitcases stuffed full of bills to pay off the warlords and it was only 8-10 million. ( taxpayer money btw, money well spent).
Gold isn’t a much better option per gram, and it’s easier to cheat, but moving huge sums of cash is still tough to do.
The satchel had 2 mil in it so why did Chigurh tell the other man that there was still 2.3 Mil left. Am I missing something? Great movie and I have watched it many times.
The satchel has two mil in the film version, but in the novel the satchel had 2.4 million. In the novel Chigurh tells a man that about 100 thousand is missing, and that there's 2.3 mil left. Great film indeed!
@@justinktobin Ok..thanks. Appreciate the clarification.
I do think the prop master could have found 6 period correct $100's with different serial #'s to band on top of the packs. But hell, that's a tiny thing in context of one of the best movies of all time. Only noticed if you pause the film.
Wow....I didn't catch that! Good eye
This must be the novels version . I thought Woody found it the satchel after Luellen threw it over the fence by the boarder
Carson (Woody) saw the satchel but he didn't go get it right away.
He took too long to get it....perhaps was waiting till nightfall/cover of darkness....but A.C. killed him before he could get it
Chigurh never got the money. The cartel got to Llewellyn first. That was the point of the scene where his wife and mother in law were talking to the "mexican in a suit". He was a cartel member and found out where Llewellyn was. Also, it showed the vent in the hotel room with a small duct, implying that Chigurh looked there AFTER the mexicans left.
Consider drinking a glass of water man x
Question I have is, when Carson Wells goes up to meet the guy behind the desk in the high rise, as he's departing the office he says "I counted the floors on the outside of the building. It's one short." (or something to that effect.) The guy behind the desk responds "We'll look into it." I don't understand the purpose of that dialogue nor what was meant by it being one short. How can you have more floors on the outside than on the inside? That whole conversation has me baffled.
A lot of buildings "skip" the 13th floor (bad luck stuff). So if you are on the "14th" floor, you are basically 13 floors up from the ground, not 14.
@@JamesPiteo I've only ever heard of that happening with hotels specifically, since people go there to sleep. Doing it with an office building seems to involve a bizarre level of paranoia.
I took it to mean the building has a story that has very shady hidden business taking place. You can't get to it without inside knowledge and there won't even be acknowledgement that it exists.
Because of this movie, I have decided that if I ever find myself in such an unlikely scenario, I will transfer the money to a different container, making sure to inspect it well. Then all I have to do is live like normal.
Good idea.
Do you think they could've made a successful 2nd film with Chigurh as the antagonist again? I enjoyed his work in that film tremendously and thought there was more to explore seeing as he is a hitman with fascinating characteristics
Yes, I think there could be another film. Although it's based on a novel, it was originally a screenplay. If there's going to be a sequel then McCarthy should write that. It'd be interesting to have an Anton Chigurh origin story too. I might make a character study video about him.
I think a second film would be possible but I think you would need to have another unknown antagonist otherwise it would appear as a rehash.
I don't think he was real, so I hope not
"No Country for Young Men"
Make it a prequel
"Those hombres would have taken the stash."
This isn't an answer though. Just pulling the answer from the novel doesn't necessarily shed light on the film. It's extratextual. A more profound analysis would combine the answer from the novel with evidence from the movie to create a more speculative conclusion. Hell, maybe I'll rewatch it and make my own video
You should make one! I'm interested in anything that analyzes NCFOM.
@@justinktobin hey thanks! Hopefully I will
In the novel Sugre returned the money to the cartel boss - minus his commission-and struck a deal to work for him.
Anton is the scariest villain ever
He doesn’t care about money he probably burned it Lol
He gives it back in the book
The way they killed off lou wellen totally sucked and ruined the ending . It felt like a rushed ending to a movie that had such build up only to come to a crash in the final moments of the film .
It stresses the theme...life isn't like the movies...there isn't always a good ending....bad stuff happens.
I read the book and watched the movie and love Cormac McCarthy. However, I do feel Chigurh killing the office man that hired him was a loop hole in the movie. How can you be a professional when you kill the person that hired you!?
that guy hired another as well. Chigurh took that action as lack of faith / deceit. Very bad friendo.
But film and novel are different. In film Mexicans who killed Moss got the money. There was no reason to speed away in hurry from hotel if they did not have the money. They would not do that without money ! They would look for it , they would tear down all building to find it. And that vent was too small for big suitcase. Chigurn was looking for it thinking what happened in other motel ,he was late, money was already gone.
If you watch the film, looking for answers from book is pretty much useless. Two different things.
They just got into a gunfight. They aren't sticking around.
I tried watching this movie two weeks ago, I stopped half way through it, Anton was just too sickening to watch. I literally couldn't stand his character, but he did play it good.
I have a friend that said something similar.
this guy and chigur in a tie for creepy voice
bro anton is the drug supplier who needed that money that was his money that they took
Coen’s best one what a movie
My favourite Coens film too.
@@justinktobin must have watched 100’s of films ..easily in top 3
I watch this video and I'm drinking beer, so cut me a little Slack, but I thought were you and let us know what you thought happened to the money in the film, but you didn't oh, wow!
3:47 - 4:00 you're welcome.
Dude, he never got that bag o cash. The cartel in the pick up truck got it. The movie makes that very clear when Tommy Lee Jones goes back to the motel at night time and our boy is on the other side with a shotgun. It shows the air vent unscrewed and a dime on the floor, so our boy The Hitman searched couldn't find anything and called it a day. The Hitman never got that Satchel of cash back he came close but he never got it and Woody Harrelson even points it out to him that his planning may not actually turn out the way that he planned, right before he gets shot in the chair.... but I absolutely agree with you No Country for Old Men is hands down one of the best films ever made adapted from a book I have to add adapted from a book lmao.
Well, some of it went to the Big Guy.
An Vietnam war veteran not an average man, also he beat the hitman, accept the wild Mexican hitmen.
Yup! Llewelyn beat Anton in a firefight despite being injured.
Jesus! The books are always better than the movies. In the book Chigurh returns it to its “rightful owner.” Oh! You’re going to explain this in fhe clip! lol! Thank you for reading the books too!
This is like a book club. The book came first and has more information. The movie is a masterpiece. I live in Brewster County. Know that the citizens are better armed than the cartel, we have to deal with them every day as they operate on both sides of the border. Old Chigurh wouldn't last long out here in reality. Ronny Dodson would put him down on day one. It's an entertaining movie, that's all. Hopefully, it will make people more aware of what is going on around them when they visit the Big Bend, and to be armed.
Having not read the novel, the film didn't lead me to believe Chiguhr had found the money. His exchange with Carla Jean led me to think the opposite. I assumed that he'd looked, but that the Mexicans that killed Llewellyn had found it.
But now I know. I guess I don't mind the spoiler. 😊
It works both ways for me
...is this 1982?
He bought the kid a new shirt, duh
In the book Chigurh returns it to the drug dealer to establish bona fides for future work.
McCarthy is extraordinarily difficult to read. I read The Road. While a good novel, the book gave me several strokes. I tried All the Pretty Horses and gave up about 5 pages in. Thee end.
If you hadn't read the book, it's not clear whether Chigurh ended up with the money or not. Mexicans were also in that room and could have taken it.
Well the money got here the same way the coin did
I have it
You have the satchel? That was nice of Chigurh to give it to you. Haha.
Also one of my favorite movies. I personally could care less if he got the money or not. I only wanted to know one unanswered question. Did he or did he not murder Carla Jean. He is a psychopath but he also flipped a quarter. We never saw what happened. Can you answer that question?
He did. We know that because he does not like to get blood on himself and he checks his feet when he leaves her house.
Why did he return? This the major flaw to this otherwise excellent movie. Hours later did he expect the guy to still be in that truck? In real life if anyone found that money in that situation they would call the police in fear of what would happen. Fun watching Anton though!
But the movie never showed who got the money I got the empression the shoot out by the Mexican gang at hotel hopped in the truck and got away but Anton looked for it but movie never showed him with the money I’ve watch this movie twice so what scene did I miss?
When Sheriff Bell goes to the motel, he notices the open vent. This implies that Chigurh took the money because he knew about the satchel being kept in the vent. And in the novel Chigurh ends up with the money.
They may have implied it was in that vent, but they messed up a bit as that vent is wayyy too small for that amount of money or the satchel.
He bought V bucks and NFT 😁
why ain't nobody said, the film ignores the whole
point of the book.
Gary Farmer would.
He got a haircut...
I have every scene explicated on UA-cam
A relative of Joe Pera perhaps?
Haha. Had to look him up. I guess I kinda sound like him?
@@justinktobin Not a bad thing at all!
There is NOT ONE NOTE of music in this film. Coen bros wanted it that stark and barren. Most people do not know this. I cannot think of another modern film that has not one note of music.
