No Country for Old Men is a 2007 American neo-Western crime thriller film written and directed by Joel Coen and Ethan Coen, based on Cormac McCarthy's 2005 novel of the same name. Starring Tommy Lee Jones, Javier Bardem, and Josh Brolin.
The film revisits the themes of fate, conscience, and circumstance that the Coen brothers had explored in the films Blood Simple (1984), Raising Arizona (1987), and Fargo (1996). The film follows three main characters: Llewelyn Moss (Brolin), a Vietnam War veteran and welder who stumbles upon a large sum of money in the desert; Anton Chigurh (Bardem), a mysterious hitman who is tasked with recovering the money; and Ed Tom Bell (Jones), a local sheriff investigating the crime. The film also stars Kelly Macdonald as Moss's wife Carla Jean, and Woody Harrelson as a bounty hunter seeking Moss and the return of the $2 million.

#NoCountryforOldMen #AntonChigurh #JavierBardem - Фільми й анімація
Whoever's decision it was to change Chigurh's line from "Why would I let you do that" to "You could" nailed the character better than the script.
It was probably the actors choice xd
I like the way he just echoes "An ATM..." back at Carson. He looks like he's toying with his food
"You could" is they way Cormac McCarthy wrote it in the book too.
@@vengeancegauloise6049 in the book he says "good payday" then a paragraph later "It's just in the wrong currency"
@@vengeancegauloise6049 He does the same thing too with the gas station clerk, even mocking his Southern accent.
"I didn't mean nothing by it."
"Didn't mean nuthin?"
Javier Bardem is mesmerizing in this film, the character would not have been as good played by literally anyone else
Its literally a horror comedy. That's what they all say.
"Literally"?
Good pick for Stilgar
Michael Shannon, Joaquin Phoenix, Willem Dafoe, from the top of my head.
You don't know that
Incredible acting from both sides.
Another thing I love is the lack of music, it makes the dialogue and phone ringing so much more focused.
Crazy how there was no music in this entire film
i remember that the phone ringing scared the sh1t out of me more than freddy krueger, jason vorhees mike myers, and all the demons from conjuring..
there is some musical sound in the gas station scene.
@@ParaAkula the word is TENSION
@@roseanneroseannadanna9651 I assume that’s prolly from a radio 😭
Javier Bardem's performance is this film, is one of the greatest ever, but in this scene I think Woody Harrelson is just so good. He does such a good job of conveying his desperate fear. Every movement, every word drips with it.
Hey that's a funny looking hat did you find it backstage somewhere?
Why you fuckers are always choosing sides? If there are two great actors in a scene portraying their characters flawlessly, why does there have to be a better one? A complete winner who steals the scene? Fucking dumb-dumbs
@@mk-rf9iu watch your profanity little one
@@mk-rf9iu I complimented both actors and didn't disparage either, so I don't know what you're talking about.
@@jordanneal576 fucking but?
The entire theater I saw this with gasped when Anton appeared behind Carson in the scene right before this one. That's how much dread he'd sewn in the hearts of the audience by that point. All he needed to do was appear onscreen, out of focus, in the background, and people were freaked.
I just watched this movie for the first time today and I had this exact reaction
Sugar?
Idk man, I was just cheering for him the entire movie.
@@JohnCena-rg4yx Is someone there?
@@stanley-fghijk441 how so?
This character will be remembered for centuries
And not just for his hair
Man... Anton basically allows him to work his way through the stages of grief. He ignores reality, barters for his life, appeals to reason. Then Anton pushes him towards anger and acceptance. He tells him to go to hell, seams to come to terms with it... then begs again. Anton looks almost disappointed that he reverted to begging, and the phone ringing gives him (and thr scene) an easy segue.
Well said
Woah! Great perspective
I've never been put-off by a villain as much as Chigurh. So much so on my first watch I couldn't enjoy the brilliance of this movie. Watching this movie for the 3rd time I am in awe. I honestly believe movie's like this can mature an audience.
Truly a work of a masterpiece. I reccomend you look for a video or a channel rather. A guy does plot breakdowns and looks at things in a forensic level. It had my attention.
''There are artists who'll wrest us up & place us into themselves & into their work.
These are the one's who'll continue wresting us up... far & beyond their appointed rests in peace.'' -William Gilpin 12122
Thats also the thing. Anton is a villain to the people we meet in the movie. And while he is a murdering sociopath, he is also extremely good at what he does. For the people who employ him, he’s a hero.
I HATED this movie the first time I watched it. The main character is killed offscreen, there’s hardly any music, it’s slow, the bad guy gets away, so and so on. I’m glad I revisited it 5 years later or so because I was mesmerized by it on my second viewing. It’s a fantastic film.
@@mightdai7489 there were so many ways this could have been filmed to still resonate the same messages without being deliberately obtuse in the cinematography. One of my favorite films for sure, but certain decisions irk me to no end.
I remember when I first watched this, I got jumpscared by that telephone ring.
Exactly 😄
The phone didn't get me the first time I saw it, the shotgun did though
This movie was so awesome. Suspenseful all the way with superb acting. I was so on the edge of my seat I didn't even realize there was practically no music in the movie.
When Wells is saying they could go to an ATM … I love Chigurh’s facial expression when he replies to Wells and says “An ATM” … the smile and look in his eyes while considering the fantasy of them going to an ATM , he conveys that so well … his cold amusement and fascination of Wells’ desperation, like a cat playing with a mouse before killing it
That statement," if the rule you followed brought you to this, of what use was the rule." Will soon come to haunt us all.
What rule is he talking about? I'm confused
@@TheSK1199 the principles that people follow throughout their lives. if his morals had led him to that room, across the barrel of a shotgun, what use was any of the rules he had followed if it had just lead to his undeserved death?
@@greenerthanthehill ohh..seems pretty obvious now that you explained it😅 thanks
No problem for me. My rules brought me where I am. Great. Wells rules as a killer for hire found him in front of a real killer. Oops.
This movie freaked me out so much that I had to see the bloopers for it and Javier Bardem's comedy movies to let the terror of Chigurh go.
I like the cold stare and situational environment they’re set in. Chigur has complete dominance over the entire situation and is wanting to have Wells admit his fault and why he will not live by crossing his path
I especially love that Wells', as his last word, almost familiarly and amicably addresses his killer by his first name, "Anton"...
What a year for film. There Will Be Blood and No Country For Old Men.
You can tell Anton is very proud of his moral code when handling business and killing people. He thinks himself above hired thugs or assassins, so much so that when Carson flat out calls him crazy, you can see how truly confused and disappointed Anton is when asking; "you mean the nature of this conversation?"
One might think he's the perfect killer and inhuman but nothing could be further from the truth. He has a fragile ego and fragile sensibilities, they're just not challenged often because he's educated. Carla Jean at the end of the film isn't highly educated but she's wise and was able to get inside his head enough that he crashed his car.
The car crash had nothing to do with that. His light was green and someone in the intersecting street ran the red. He made no mistake there. The point of the crash is that nothing guarantees your safety, even if you do make no mistakes. "Time and chance happen to them all."
@@Tom_Het For real. A lot of people missed that part. Anton followed all the “rules” and still got hit by a car. If anything it just proved Anton’s point. Even he didn’t see what was coming. That’s why he preferred chance/chaos as opposed to following the laws.
ua-cam.com/video/G18vSsRgZCE/v-deo.html
Pathetic misdiagnosis lmao. The car crash at the end is meant to repeat the signification of the thematic of chaos and luck and their relationship to the devastation of human lives.
Not only that but you failed to even observe the fact that when Anton's car crashes the fault is entirely the other guy's, Anton is driving calmly and correctly at that moment past a greenlit signal. He becomes subject to the very same laws of chaotic destruction that he espouses.
Also Anton rebuked Carla Jean instantly without missing a single beat in that final confrontation, by pointing out how the coinflip and its outcome could also be attributed to the matter of his choice; if the choice to go after her was to be attributed to Anton's conscious decision-making and not pure chaos (but it clearly doesn't make any sense, much like her point).
Devilishly clever when you think about it, completely disarmed her introspective appeal to Anton in her final moments. Suggesting that she somehow one upped him in that exchange is a baffling misinterpretation of a rather cogent bit of philosophic expression.
The only "fragile" thing here is your observational capacity lol.
@@thrace_bot1012 yapping hater
Who woulda thought that one of the gnarliest jump-scares in film history would be caused by a ringing phone.
Take THAT, entire horror genre!
I always get jump scared at the crash scene at the end of the movie
Thats best scare you can get. In horrors now there is just loud music. Such a cheap trick.
The entire horror genre being shoved out of Hollywood is pure garbage.
Movies like this that make you think, no music, no stupid jumpscares, just pure raw suspense puts them all to shame
This video made me watch no country for old Men and I DEFINITELY did not regret it. Enjoyed the movie the whole way through.
💯
Me too
"The hardest choices require the strongest coin toss".
The casting and directing in this is incredible.
One of my favorite lines was ABOUT this movie and not FROM it. It was Sandra Bullock presenting at an awards gala. She said something along the lines of' this summer Javier Bardem terrorized a nation, mostly with his haricut".
What a dumb bitch thing to say
@@lenonel3286 it was in jest-if that helps your mood.
@@mattjewett4473 nothing against you personally, I was saying Sandra's comment was very dumb bitch like. Hope I didn't come across as hostile
@@lenonel3286 No you came across as a punk.
@@briggsquantum it was a dumb bitch thing to say, though.
The tension you feel in this scene is so freaking crazy and scary. No music, no crazy action, just two people talking.
The music in this movie really makes the whole thing
This entire screenplay was an amazing read.
@Navami Dashami Keep a lookout for them on my channel. I will be reviewing screenplays and posting a link to them.
One of the best antagonists ever written.
What a movie... a masterpiece!
Javier Bardem nailed this performance he is terrifying one of the greatest antagonists in film history a truly special performance.
One of the greatest movies of all time
You take every line. What i need a reference from many days.
Chigurh is the most terrifying character. This movie is the first i've seen where the bad guy wins
It’s interesting bc at the very end with the car crash it seems like he doesn’t win after all, no one wins
Yeah, i was just about to say that. If you think he's won, i'd argue that the finale illustrates the opposite. No one wins, sure he survives the car crash, he escapes it. For now. Random chance will eventually have it that he meets his match. Thats the whole point of the movie, its not always gonna end in his favor, and he cant make it that way. Its not all waiting on him.
@@lilfreezie6302 k but he didn't die tho, that's all that matters.
@@lilfreezie6302 he lived but lost his value system. The others died with theirs.
I think what's scary is when he sees the kids at the end, he looks terrified. Not like his been caught but that like these kids just witnessed him and saw him, but they're too young to see death himself. Makes the you didn't see me have two meanings.
The silence of the scene makes it that much more impactful.
Cormac McCarthy is one of the best writers to ever do it
Ok, but the screenplay is by the Coen brothers.
@@comrade_snarky Yes, but did you read the book? It is almost the same. Doing some research on the book and McCarthy, I read that he had written it as a screenplay. But the publisher of it asked him to write it as a novel to have a better sale. Then the Coens showed up.
@@comrade_snarky They pretty much copied the entire thing as it is.
Gotta love when cold blooded killers wanna preach about morals and dignity. Yeah, there's so much dignity in murder...
Brilliant film, Chigurh is such a captivating villain. Absolutely despicable. But he has this set of codes and beliefs which seems so believable for a psychopath. But they are just missing that part of the brain that makes them realise they are so muhh worse than the people they look down on. That's what's so fascinating about psychopathy. They aren't mentally ill, definitely not in the traditional sense, it's just like they are missing something. They are often highly intelligent, calculating and manipulating. They just cannot feel empathy. Which leaves a big old stupid hole in their psyche. Since emotional and social intelligence is a large part of consciousness.
rethink dignity
Actually nothing is off about them. It’s just they use force instead of words to dominate others. People who are afraid to be assertive through physical means use verbal means to make a point and seem better than the other they want to manipulate
He wasn't talking about dignity in murder. He was talking about dying with dignity. As though he even has some kind of inscrutable code for that along with everything else. The guy isn't even a human. He is violence personified.
@Person Keyword being "average". In those same studies, there are definite outliers, and some of them even make note of this. You also have to remember, depending on the country you're in, the average IQ sits somewhere in the low-mid 90s, which is honestly quite stupid in and of itself, when you consider that 80-90 is considered "routinely functioning" by clinical psychologists, as in these people are capable of not a lot.
@Person what if Google lied? the whole needs a bad guy and "psychos" are an easy target to make the average person feel like they are "good"
using Google makes no one an expert. it's just easy answers and a quick ego boost. what's more, many psychos aren't violent or domineering and simply do what works for them. plenty of people use force and intimidation and aren't psychopaths. plenty commit atrocities and aren't psychopaths. in fact most of the worlds evils are carried out by "normal" people
reminds me of a song i heard... "it aint the devil unless there's fire in his eyes, it aint a sin if it don't make me cry. it aint a ghost if it don't speak in tongues...."
Brilliant acting. This film is a master piece.
Yeah film is a master bait too
This movie is something else man
Anton = scariest most intriguing and dastardly character ive ever seen
Just listened to the book and whole chunks of dialogue for the film were taken directly from the novel. The author, Cormac McCarthy should have got recognition for this.
Welcome back to Kek or Cringe with Anton Chigurh
💀💀💀
Wells passed up a once in a lifetime opportunity to have a philosophical conversation with Anton.
And when Llewellyn's wife maybe did they didn't even show it.
Just outstanding i feels the moment,
Yesterday I was reading about this man and today it's in my recommendation
google is watching you
Brilliant acting.
I'm gonna go watch this movie right now.
Cormac McCarthy writes the most incredible villains. Need to see Judge Holden on the big screen, although the MPAA rating for Blood Meridian would have to be at least NC-17.
If that movie ever gets made, it will certainly be altered from the book.
Who do you think could play judge Holden if the movie ever did get greenlit?
@@christophercarrigg3775 I like when they cast someone relatively unknown. But having seen Vincent D'onofrio as a huge, bald Kingpin in the Netflix Daredevil show, as well as his performance all those years ago in Full Metal Jacket...that's the guy.
I'd pay 100 bucks for a ticket to blood meridian. That book wrecked me.
Brendan Gleeson would be as good as d'enafrio....

Knowledge is a deadly friend
If no one sets the rules
The fate of all mankind I see
Is in the hands of fools
~King Crimson song: ''Epitaph''
He honestly has some of the coolest weapons in that film
"If the rule you followed, brought you to this, what use was the rule" is actually a really good question for everyone.
The answer would have to lie in the fact that deep down a person could believe that their life was not as important as to act in a way that isn't in accordance to "the rule".
Furthermore, this is acutely revealing that the person in question either cares about how he looks to others so much that even after he is dead and gone for 100 years, he wants people he knew when he was alive to know that he had principles. Or, the other side is he may believe in an afterlife that could be improved by acting in a certain way while alive on earth.
The reason I believe this is because if someone didn't believe in an afterlife that could be altered by acts on earth, and also doesn't care about how he is precieved by others, then it **would** be ridiculous to live in accordance to any rule that could put you in harms way more than necessary.
You answered it all with your last line. Apply that idea to the evil-doer. He doesn't live in accordance to good people's rules because he is in fact under no true harm when disobeying those rules.
We neurotypical people fail by pride in this topic. We believe everybody can understand why evil is evil. Can't put ourselves on the shoes of sick people who need to be showed by force what's wrong. And we pay for it dearly, but still that loss of life and potential is preferable in some twisted way to the mature thing to do: embrace violence so its practitioners aren't only psychopaths.
Wow, this man smiles :)
Amazing movie
Amazing
Well if anyone can get it can bring it directly to me would be wonderful n appreciated,asap
Most chilling part of this exchange for me
Carson Wells: You go to Hell!
Anton Chigurh: Hm. Alright.
It’s like Anton is amused that Carson thinks that’s an insult to him. Like Hell is where he’s from.
That was Wells assessment of the situation: he lost. And Chigurh was indentifying the inferiority of Wells' "rule" or personal philosophy.
Most compelling performance of a lizard I've ever seen.
Anybody noticed the dust falling out of the lamp when the shotgun goes off? They didn't miss a thing. Like they actually fired the gun in some lousy motel room.
Damn!
that's a cool improv
Good thing Alec Baldwin wasn't playing Anton
Jajajaa
💀
Woody could've mentioned Jack Sparrow and leave him stunned for a few seconds.
Anton Chigurh weirdly became my hero after watching this movie. 😅
الفلم رهيب ابدع الاسباني اول مره خفوي عشت
Chigurh is more complex , than most IRL psychopathic killers. Bardem definitely deserved that Oscar for the role, he did that character great, quite scary. Only was missing a "look" in the eye that real killers have. That is hard to fake.
They got a nice impromptu👍
LOUDEST TELEPHONE RING EVER! 😂
I believe he means the choices we make are based on the rules we follow. Our country make laws,rules, regulation that we must all follow. We also make personal rules bases on our experience to protect ourselves from harm or give us rhe upper hand. If not to serve as some good. Of what use was the rule.
Chigurgh it outright terrifying
Does anyone else notice the fly that's crawling on Carson Wells' chin just before the phone rings?
Yeah, I surely am
All hail, King Triton!
Chigurgh dont care about the money, he's got higher goals, that's his advantage
I need to re watch this movie. From what I recall, after i finished it, I had that feeling of just being "let down". I dont even rember how it ended,nor do I remember woody Harrolsons ass being in this film at all😄. So now I'm like 🤔
There a subversion of expectations of a final gun fight that never comes.. And that's what led to people initially feeling let down.. But then you realize that that was the point the story and film were trying to tell..
Mickey "Natural Born Killer" Knox finally met his chigurh
I cant think of any villain that was so dark that i refuse to watch the movie again.. i mean, it was a great performance by Javier but the role scared me alot
Classic
What exactly is that thing he uses as a weapon? I read that it's a bolt gun but it also says it shoots a steel pin which retracts after being released. But looking at that scene and how that gun is meant to be used on a cattle up close how is it possible to reach Carson that far? Is it modified or something?
The weapon he uses in this scene is a shotgun, at other times in the book/movie he uses a bolt gun meant to be used on cattle (I'm pretty sure)
It's a shotgun with a rather large suppressor
The bolt gun he uses is attached to a gas bottle, its his lock destroying tool of choice
There are so-called tough guys and then there’s Anton Chigurh. Someone you don’t want to cross paths with in real life.
That was a shotgun? I always wondered.
Couldn't say that he was evil. Just a force of nature.
The world's loudest phone call
I read somewhere that Chigurh is the most accurate movie representation of a psychopath
Maybe a "high functioning" and very intelligent one. Most are not this way.
Looks like someone didn't get there berries and cream.
What does Anton mean about the rule line? Can someone explain
Chigurh believes himself to be an instrument of fate. He doesn't play by "rules" of morality, ethics, law, etc. Just chance, which is why he does the coin toss. It helps him keep his distance. Well HE didn't decide to kill you, by any rules he follows, the coin made the choice for him. That's just fate. (So he says, anyway).
So he's asking Wells, you think I'm crazy, you think you're better off because you have a set of rules you follow to guide you, but what's the point of any of that if you're now sitting on the wrong end of a loaded gun? He's taunting Wells, saying he got caught up in the tangle of his own life and now he's a dead man for it, while Chigurh thinks himself invincible because he's only carrying out the will of fate.
Of course he's full of himself, and this gets turned back on him at the end of the movie. What's the point of putting all your stock in random chance when you can randomly get hit by a car? Of what use was following that rule?
