  • The Coen brothers have made many classic movies that have depicted the fabric of American life. The neo-western crime drama No Country For Old Men is definitely up there among their very best cinematic works.
    Just like all Coen brothers movies, No Country For Old Men assembled a great blend of acting talent that filled the movie with memorable characters and powerful scenes. Javier Bardem’s Anton Chigurh is arguably one of the most iconic movie villains of the 2000s.
    Thefilm gave audiences a mix of poignant moments, terror and suspense. However, the Coens rarely leave a straightforward ending for their viewers either. Here’s a breakdown of the ending of No Country For Old Men.

      I pondered the idea that Bell was killed by Chigurh and went on about his business without realizing he was dead. The alternative to that idea is also very strange: that Bell walked right past Chigurh, but was incapable of perceiving him. I had to wonder, too, if Chigurh was actually a physical presence, or something like the spirit of money.

      I think the movie was great but I think you need to watch it again because the money was picked up when they killed Llewellyn, and as usual you didn't explain literally anything other than walking us through the events of the entire movie and hardly touching on anything at the end

      @tlmota 3 роки тому +596

      That's exactly the point the movie is trying to make. When the apparent protagonist is killed offscreen, by anonimous characters that aren't even the antagonist, we are left with a sense of disorientation and confusion that mimics the same disorientation and confusion experienced by sheriff Bell (the real protagonist). We were expecting a kind of final battle between "the good and the bad", as if this would have brought meaning to all that violence, but the reality is that there is no real meaning at all, it was all really a sequence of random and meaningless acts, like you said, that in the end results in nothing. And it's exactly this incessant and meaningless violence that ultimately makes the sheriff feel defeated.

    There’s not an end to the movie, that’s the point. The whole movie is just a glimpse into a horrific scene of crime, and then the crime is over and life continues on like it always will. The whole movie is pretty much a small moment out of an entire day, like passing by a car wreck on your way to work.

But always remember this as one filled with the Holy Spirit of God. There is never an ending in eternity, only a beginning. Since Yeshua Hamashiach said he was the only way to the Father and also said that he only was the way, the truth and the life I would suggest to do as I did at the age of 24 on 12-26-1983; Give your life to Yeshua!

    First of all....I believe Ellis was Bell’s older brother, especially when Ellis tells the story of “uncle Mac” being killed. Also, I think Bell realizes he’s too old and no match for the new breed of evil and violence that is coming. In the dream about his father, he states that his father is at least 20 years younger than Bell is now. And the fact that his “younger” father is going ahead to set up camp shows that Bell feels that it’s the younger generations time to take his place in law enforcement, hence the title.

      1. Hide-and-seek didn't work with the money.
      2. Making ultimatums didn't work on returning the money.
      3. Tracking him down didn't work.
      4. Running from him didn't work.
      5. Escaping his promise didn't work.
      He was a cold-blooded killer. The movie was never about the money.

    *All questions answered*
    The money was taken by the spanish people. The person who helps Llewellyn's wife's mother knows his whereabouts and reaches there to take the money from him. That's it.
    The Protagonist(Chigurh) comes much later to the crime scene and doesn't find his money. He's followed by sheriff who sees his reflection but runs to toilet instead of shitting his pants. He's miraculously spared by Chigurh
    Llewellyn's wife is also killed bcoz the Killer never leaves anyone who's against him.
    Sheriff at the end sees his ending as inevitable because the country is full of people who kill others for money and for drugs. With psychopaths loose ,
    He imagines he'll soon be with his dad as things are gonna take a turn for worse.

Tommy Lee can’t believe how violent it is nowadays, the old timer tells him it was even worse before. In other words, there is an eternal struggle between good and evil that is not going away, no matter how much you might want it to.

      Xavier Molina Then you are considered to be “the exception” in this case, sir. I’ve recommended this film to multiple people over the years, and not one was displeased with my suggestion. Some even going on to insist others to watch. Furthermore, as you can see here in the comment section, there are very few, if any, that have trouble enjoying this movie. With you, of course, being the exception, as I stated above. This particular film is one that rewards those whom pay close attention just as much as it encourages a second or third viewing. You always seem to catch something you didn’t the time before. And the level of symbolism in this movie is comparable to that used in political cartoons in the news paper, but instead of just one artist’s sketch it’s more like an entire photoalbum going scene to scene.

      Some art, however, is created at such a high level of detail and intricacy that it’s “objectively” admired. But if you, or whoever you made up just to counter-argue my comment, is not intelligent enough to see more than “violence” in a movie; that has as much to do with themes of old age and the evolution of society as it does with themes referring to finding your place in the world; then you’re probably **THE EXCEPTION** I was talking about.

Maybe the young can fight through the cold and darkness, but the old can only lite a fire, and leave the fight to the young. Sooner or later, he knows his son will join by that "fire" and leave that fight to an even younger generation.

    I always felt that the dream represented two things. The first, being a biblical allusion. Christ said in his father's house there are many rooms and he's going to prepare a place for us. John 14:2. Likewise, bell's father is preparing a place for him in the afterlife, other place, whatever you want to call it. Also, theres a shared theme from the road. The man tells his boy they "keep the fire." Which is a way of saying they hold on to their humanity and morals despite the world going to shit. Likewise, bell's family were lawmen and his father holds the fire in the horn, despite all that cold. All that dark. Theres that same father/son dynamic and ideas of justice and morals. Just my idea. Gotta love how subjective this stuff is!

    Great movie but a few too many inaccuracies in general. There is no way to silence a shotgun and thus no silencers are made for them nor could they be made for them. The bolt gun, again, they don't work that way, you cannot place it against a skull in that manner at such an angle. It would likely break the skin, fracture the persons skull but also send your hand and arm flying in the opposite direction (damn Newton). To use one properly you have to stand OVER the head and place your weight against it to prevent the equal / opposite reaction part. And of course my favorite, Chigur walking away after suffering a major compound fracture. Without immediate medical attention and surgery he would have been dead within an hour or two due to blood loss.

      @@FA_363 Did I say there were no suppressors? Nope, I said silencer which there are none. The difference between the two is massive. Suppressors are essentially useless, expensive toys which reduce muzzle velocity while bringing noise levels down from around 210 db to 160 db for a shotgun. It goes from a loud BANG to a loud POP so when you shoot a suppressed shotgun everyone and their mother will still hear the rapport for blocks. Even true silencers don't really silence a guns sound by much, especially as a true silencer can only be used on small caliber, subsonic rounds (.22, .32). Once the round goes beyond the speed of sound which almost all rounds do they cannot be silenced due to the sonic boom made by the round which cannot be controlled as it happens outside the weapon.

    Chigurh represents the inevitablilty of death. The people that unfortnately cross the path of Chigurh usually all die. He uses the coin so they atleast have a random cahnce of not dying, as he stated otherwise it wouldn't be fair.
    ED is a lawman triying to preserve life and order. He is the opposite of Chigurh. His dream at the end, was meant to be a passing of the torch. Ed would be able to survive in the dark and cold world with what his father taught and provided him. He woke up from the dream or delusion, realized he is just an old man and has nothing to pass on. Hence the title, he is living in a country with no need for his old school style and good ole fashion police style..... He needs to be a wolf like Alejandro in Sicario.

    I had a different understanding of the sherif's dream. He says his father died an young man and that in his dream, his father was still an young man. Also in his dream he says his father was preparing to make fire to face the situation. I felt that this could be taken in two ways. One...... his father was always older than him(in his childhood) and hence is ready to face the cold and dark situation. two is "his father is young" which reflects the kinda theme of the film that he's old and incapable of handing the situation in real life and starts looking out for his father who once in his prime could handle the situation.
