The story is set in the desolate landscapes of West Texas in 1980, and it begins when Llewelyn Moss stumbles upon a drug deal gone wrong in the desert.

She tore apart Anton's logic by not calling it. This made him think
I'm curious what you mean can you explain it to me?
@@Nobody_particular_anywherehe gets ppl to play by his rules by force and she was not folding
I think Anton was pulling a julius cesar by washing his hands and putting the power in the coin (like cesar did with the jews who were against jesus)therefore he doesnt need to consider his own morality or lack of it. She however, calls out that bullshit and says no the choice to kill her is HIS to make. Not the coins, not hers, not her husbands. At the end of it all its Anton’s choice, he pulls the trigger, not the coin or anyone else. He can always choose not to. But he washes his hands by trying to make people play his game like the coin here. So if she dies its fully his fault and choice, in reality there is no circumstance that got her killed. Its simply a man and a woman in a room, and the man decided to kill the woman instead of choosing to spare her.
That was not julius ceadar that was pontiius pilate.@@El_Krani
@@thejumpmaster314 ah same shit i dont see no romans around anymore
That checking of the boot is so subtle, but it says so much.
Wdym
@@Therealbruh2005He was checking for blood on his boots
@@Therealbruh2005chigurh doesnt like to get blood on himself, so when he exits the house and checks his boot it implies that he was checking for her blood
@Therealbruh2005 making sure there's no blood/ brain on his shoe from the murdering he just finished doing.
They show him lifting his boots to avoid the blood from when he kills Carson. It's pretty easy to miss.
Anton checking his boots is a call back to that.
She tore apart his entire logic with just one sentence "the coin don't have no say, you do"
Deadass she basically just said there’s no psychological or justified reasoning to your murders. YOU are just a crazy killer
She did not 😂 the point of the coin is to give people a chance. He’s already decided he’s gonna kill her. The coin is the last check of morality. He knows she doesn’t deserve to die but her husband has already sold her life away. It’s more like you don’t understand his logic.
😅 not chosing a side. Means he picks.
He has already decided, with a shotgun in his lap. What he wanted to do 😂
@@Braulio-Yerkes He always decides, not the coin. He says "call it" and then once they do, he says what the match means. The result always agrees with whatever he's already decided to do.
And then he drove home and nothing else happened. The end.
And didn’t ask for a boys shirt to tie up his broken arm with a bone sucking out of it
*sticking. Imagine not knowing how to spell

I haven’t seen the film this is a spoiler
Well I have seen the flim
The actress is perfect in this role.
Funfact: she also played a ghost in Harry Potter!
Was this moaning myrtle???
@@michaelhackler2812 Nope: she played the daughter of Rowena Ravenclaw.
I know what she did i know who she is!!!
Also in boardwalk empire!
@@loloverlord1664I thought I recognized her
After breaking this rule, he broke two more of his rules.
I just realized that to holy crap. He breaks his rules and then BAM consequences. Proves he’s not different from anyone else and that he’s just as hypocritical when it suits him and the world punishes him for it immediately
@@doc_holliday9484 Which rule did he break?
It's been awhile since I saw the movie, what other two rules did he break?
Replying because I also want to know the other rules he broke.
The trick of breaking the rules; is to make it as if you are following them
Anton checking the blood stains under his shoes is chilling
In Conclusion, She was the only character in the movie who actually defeated Anton, despite facing death.
The woman who ain’t at liberty to give out no information
Your wrong. She is very much dead.
For him, the coin is the only reason not to do what he does. When the coin says no, Anton knows its judgment is 100% unbiased.
Which is funny because based on recent studies, a coin flip as as biased as the flipper.
"the coin don't have no say...ANTON, you SOB"
In this entropic world, Anton uses the coin toss as a way to mold order out of disorder. It’s the thinnest of veils but he makes his killings not chaotic because once they have called the toss, it’s “in their hands” not his. At that point, he’s an agent of order, carrying out the will of fate. Whether or not she fully realizes what she has just done, Carla has torn that veil, that excuse, asunder. Anton is at an impasse, and so does what an agent of chaos, an entropic murder, would do. In a sense, this was his coin toss, not hers. By choosing this life, choosing to decide by random chance, then breaking that code when it was challenged, he has shown that he is not above any other human. He is just as much a mortal bound to our world as anyone else. A classic novel and movie.
Bullshit... Anton wasn't there to kill her on the decision of a coin toss, he was there to kill her cause he gave his word. He was actually offering her an out that would allow him to NOT keep his word... her refusal to take the offer that he gave her just defaulted back to him keeping his word. She was as stupid in this scene as apparently everyone who commented on it... she threw his act of mercy in his face for absolutely nothing.
He killed her 💥💥
Yep
Yes , you knew that when he was checking his boots for blood .
But the difference is, she accepted it. She knew he was going to murder her, she knew there was nothing she could do other than point out the absurdity of his system. She took it on the chin, literally.
Fucking yikes
Her accent is phenomenal, sounds just like West Texas
Unbelievably, I believe she is actually native Scottish or Welsh! Her ability to change accents is unreal!
@@NinjaofApathy she is Scottish and she pulls that same pathetic face in everything she is in
This was the best change to the book. Not calling it was the only way to ever make him question himself. Now he can longer say they "always" say that.
There's a book? I know what I'm buying next!
@@grantameele421all movies got books they are based on books or written before become movies
The fact that she’s Scottish and doing this accent perfect is incredible.
She had the dignity to not barter for her life. Great movie.
“I wouldn’t worry about it”
"Call it😀"
"I ain't gonna call it"
"Call it😐"
😂
Ain't nuthin' worse than gittin' blood on ya favourite boots.
Mrs Mcdonald and Mr Bardem appreciate your work.thank you.
Anton: I got here the same way the coin did
Me: You were carried in a psychopaths pocket?
*Anton checks boots*
I love this final sequence because it is a reality check for Anton. His whole ideology was called out and basically dismissed as bullshit by Carla. Anton may think of himself as some kind of messenger of death, or a divine provider of fates, but what the car accident after that shows is that Anton really is no one special, he can die and bleed just like the people he condescendingly kills.
His whole persona was deconstructed in about 10 minutes and it's awesome.
It wasnt the first time he bleeded in the movie. Having said that he was in similar position of the protagonist when he was bleeding and wanted a shirt. It implies maybe that he is getting old and is no country for old men so he will die perhaps
Loved this actress from her first second on film(!)...
Carla does go along with the coin toss in the book. I like the book a little more.
Cold hearted psychopath killed her anyway
Oh no 😱😱😱
She knew the killer was a liar. Llewelyn didn't try to use her. She lost her love, terrified, but never lost her conviction either.
Anton assessment was accurate... if Llewellyn had given up and sacrificed himself then Anton wouldn't have gone after her.
@@nationalsocialism3504people dont do that. He was trying to kill him
"I wouldn't worry about it." Lol
Llewelyn felt insulted by the threat and wanted to meet him face to face which was kind of what Anton asked him to do
She’s amazing in Boardwalk empire too
The editing ruined it. Her saying what after he says people always say that and he repeats her always makes me chuckle.
“The coin don’t have no say, it’s just you.”
Yes, but as she just pointed out he is CRAZY🤪
This is one of my favourite scenes in cinema. Anton is such a warped individual, the coin flip is the only act of mercy he can manage. You can see the strain it's putting on him to offer it. Both a chilling moment and a great insight into his broken mind.
Or, there's countless other ways to examine the scene. (Twisted) honour, inevitablility/fate, choice, chance... take your pick.
It was no mercy towards her, he likes toying with people. The offer of a coin toss, if she looses, is meant to make her feel like it is her fault, and not his. She knows that, and calls him on it.
@@OgreProgrammer like I said, countless ways of examining the scene. While I agree he does toy with people, his attitude is far more solemn when dealing with her.
This was one of the badass characters of the century
I didn’t think she was that interesting
@@RandomOne1999: very good.
"of the century"
best scene in the whole film imo - shows how special carla jean is thematically. only one who wouldn’t play ball and it visibly shakes chigurh
Blown my mind first time i watched. Still, a groundahaking of my understanding about Narative and Naration.
A man who can shoot a beautiful woman who is unarmed and begging for her life is a savage that can not be redeemed. Even the cartels used to have a policy on not targeting young woman.
Absolutely brilliant scene
Just finished watching Django Unchained via Shorts. Guess now it's time for No Country for Old Men
One of the scenes that are truly better than the book.
Perfectly casted movie
Damn, Margaret's righteously stubborn in this too it would seem 💀
😮He also left his badass shotgun after leaving and also The boot check 😢yeah she dead dead
When she opened that door and saw him sitting there, she couldve ran as fast as she could and scream as loud as possible. At the very least it would've made anton hasty and risked him getting caught.
Made him feel guilt. Smart
"if you choose not to decide you still have made a choice" Rush 🤘🏼
And that's how this guy became Two-Face 😂
I wish they would release this in 4K
She’s really sweet. I love her accent.
What a beautiful voice of her, so soft spoken. It was like hearing one of those NPCs from the soulsborne games.
Once she didn't call it and he broke his own rules his world went spiraling.
It crazy that the actress is Scottish, brilliant performance
Southern US accents are actually not a big stretch for people from the uk.
_×Carla used psychic damage×_
*_It was super effective!_*
I wonder how many sociopaths like him are out there?
2,309
Some have better hairstyle
Most, maybe even all of them@@johnotoole5786
There are a lot of psychopaths in the world. But fortunately the overlap between crazy and competent is too narrow for you to find one like Anton very often in real life. Most of them are one act shows.
❤ Javier Bardem ❤
Didn't call the coin and by killing her proved that everything he said was bullshit. It's all him. Trying not to be responsible for his actions.
Life is a series of choices. You choose to live every day because you want to see tomorrow, and you choose to not kill people because you know they want to see tomorrow, too. Choosing to kill someone is always a choice, not a probability.
Wrong lol he has no problems killing her. Just like her husband didn’t give her a chance to save her own life. He’s giving her a chance with the coin flip. Everything is a choice, I think you should see the movie as a person who holds people accountable to the choices they make.
I love how every western short I've ever seen uses the rdr font
She is greatvin Boardwalk Empire!!!😊
what a nice guy im sure he wouldnt hurt her
This scene captures the collision of principles, expectation, autonomy, and impotence that underlie this movie so well. Her innocence and understanding throwing a wrench into his facade, only to see him exposed further moments later when he tosses his own coin, and relies on a child’s generosity to save his ass. Rendered as helpless as an old sheriff crying about todays youth, who came too late to save our greedy hero.
An old sheriff who lived in a safe delusional view of world which was dashed as ignorant and idealistic by his even older uncle who brought up the reality that their uncles & grandfather's had lived with.
I was very angry.He didn't get killed in that car accident.After he killed her.
This movie is so fucked up on so many levels..I love it
"I got here the same way the coin did.. In a man's pocket."
She’s so cute
A lot of parts were clipped out, bc there was a time limit to the short. In contrast to this scene, Llewyn's attitude was shown, when he refused to cheat on her. There's another comparison of the gas station clerk saying, if that's how you want to put it.
Слово держу!.,но не так!☝️☝️☝️☝️🙏✌️
Checking his boots has to be the least obvious way knowing she's dead.
"i got here how the coin did"
"I flipped"
Perfect retired USMC logic 🇺🇸🫡 Thank you Camp Lujune
what are you on about
The kids who sold him that shirt were not "good scouts."
In some way I feel like I’m like this guy
He's right though, moss COULD have saved her, but chose not to
He obviously didn't really love her
She’s from boardwalk empire that’s so crazy never noticed
Better off not seeing the final result even though the final result was infered when he walked out and cleaned a smudge off his boot.
She’s great in this seen !
Scene
Bravest character in the movie
Shes a great actress.
Greer I would have left all the money and drugs behind
I would've done the drugs n gambled the money
Good movie
I don’t understand why so many comments express the opinion that she took control and prevented her murder. The character is a sociopath. He kept his word and murdered her. Her simple logic and calm, innocent nature was meaningless to this sociopath. His promise to himself and keeping that promise, infinitely outweighs any sympathy or understanding that could have been shown to her. Anybody who thinks he did not kill her simply does not understand the mindset of a true sociopath. There is no empathy. They do not possess the ability to understand the viewpoint of any victim, nor do they care to do so. Their viewpoint, is the only one that counts. The coin is just a diversion, a way to toy with the victim. If the victim calls the coin correctly, he respects it but this displays his failure to display any emotion or empathy for her. It is what it is.
He killed her or there was no point in checking his boots
She made lots of sence. Coin or no coin.. flip or not.. coin not pulling thr trigger. So the excuse to use it is not logical.. if you kill you kill. It's just an excuse to do something then blame the coin if it goes wrong..
I feel for her. She was pleading very sad way.
I (re)watched The Hateful 8 through clip format on UA-cam and now it wants me to see this… I’ve never seen this movie and now I really don’t think I should continue in this manner.
He GAVE HIS WORD! NOT HARD TO UNDERSTAND!
Her accent going between London and new Mexico
Un guión muy pretencioso .. es solo un film pochoclero, ni cerca de una obra maestra.
He really tried to be nice with her
She's a gonner!
She definitely called tails
By rejecting the coin toss, she puts Anton in a dilemma: break his word to Llewelyn that he’d kill his wife, or break his code of chance through the coin toss. He chooses to kill her, even though she didn’t participate in the coin toss, and that’s why he’s hit by the car. Fate sees that he broke his code and punishes him for it.
Or at least that’s my interpretation 😁
He got hit by the car cause Fate is bullshit... Anton was in no dilemma just cause she rejected his act of mercy by giving himself the out using the coin toss. He wouldn't ever willingly choose to break his word, so the coin toss allowed him that option without him having to choose it. Since she didn't want mercy then he gave her know by just keeping his word like he intended to do from the beginning
So the reels decided us to watch No Country For Old Men this time
He shut her. She. Sat next to the door. He had to walk through the mess
I can't help but wonder if Chigurgh would've kept her alive if she had just 'called it?'
Yes... I mean why even offer her the mercy of a coin flip otherwise? He was trying to give himself an out to break his word, if he had no intention of breaking his word then why go through such a pretense to not act honorably???
I haven't seen this movie yet. Someone be honest with me: did anyone survive or appear to have survived antons coin flips? 😂😂
Dude went scorched earth on everyone.
@@liar8318 I figured lmao
The one gas station guy survived
The gas station owner survived a flip. The only other person to survive Anton was the accountant, who ended up not seeing anything by virtue of seeing and speaking no evil of what he had witnessed.
What a fuckin film
He killed her bc he was checking to see if there was blood on he’s shoes at the end and this is how the movie ended so terrible
Should have called it, it was a 50/50 shot vs a 100% shot of being killed.
Idk why people are calling her smart her arguments are essentially “Nahah”
