The book says he killed a frat boy, allowed himself to be arrested in order to see if he can free himself through force of will. The book gives a little more than insight into such a mysterious character.
He talks about it in the book, to Carson Wells. He says he was at a diner and a group of teenagers/young men kept looking at him, and as he passed to pay the check, he kept repeating an insult. Chigurgh motioned for them to come outside, and when they did he broke the one’s neck, while the others tried in vain to wake him up. And he just drove away. Later on down the road, the deputy in the opening scenes of the movie pulls him over, arrests him for murder, and, well… he escapes. He tells Wells that he himself sees the murder itself as foolish, because it exposed him and made him vulnerable, and he only did it out of emotion, contrary to his core values. But not killing the deputy upon getting pulled over, as another commenter pointed out, was because “He wanted to see if he could free himself through an act of will alone.” Hence why he doesn’t use any of his equipment like the stungun to kill the deputy, only his skills and the circumstances in which he’s been placed.
Even though I wasn't sure of his crime, I immediately knew (understanding Anton's personality) he was only inside a police station because *he wanted to be* in the police station.
True, she doesn't call it in the film, but it seems Chigurh checks his boots for blood when he walks back outside. Perhaps he killed her because she refused to call it. But in the novel she eventually calls it not in her favor.
Pretty ridiculous for Chigurh to stand on his so called principles as it related to Carla Jean - his promise to Llewellyn that he'd kill her was an attempt to motivate Llewellyn to bring him the money. Once Llewellyn was dead there was no more motivation, so his killing of Carla Jean was simply cruel and nonsensical...
@@kyledavis635 From a business standpoint, it makes no sense. There's no message being sent, there's nothing to gain financially, and he was simply putting himself at risk of being killed or caught by the police. He doesn't seem to enjoy killing either, just sees it as something he has to do. Then he offers Carla a coin toss, and if she called correctly he would have broken his promise to Llewellyn. Chigurh's a complex character for sure.
@@justinktobin Playing amateur psychologist here: Chigurh is not a sadist who enjoys killing. Actually, he doesn't seem to enjoy anything -- he appears to be always devoid of emotion, like an automaton. Instead, for him, killing seems to be an obsessive compulsion -- like a lethal version of a man who continually obsessively washes his hands. He takes no joy from killing (or from anything else) but he feels the need to kill.
Great recap. Upvoted. Just to note that in the movie she refuses to call, so it's not a case of calling the coin flip wrong. She refuses to play his game.
Glad I found your channel my guy. NCFOM is such an ambiguous film/novel that most channels are hesitant to talk about it or just don’t do a great job analyzing it. This is all very cool insight by you, and I think more people should read the book after watching the movie, there’s so much more you can learn from reading it that you’d never know if you didn’t.
Thanks for the kind words! Very true about the novel giving answers to the unanswered questions we're left with by the film. I'd say I like them both equally though.
If he was arrested for murder, I find it hard to believe the deputy would sit with his back to him while he's unconfined. Perhaps a plot hole the Cohen's didn't want so that's why they never mentioned why he was arrested.
That could be a reason the Coens left the arrest out. Small county in rural West Texas though, so who knows, maybe it was common for law enforcement to do that.
I always thought he got arrested on purpose. As part of what he was going to do. He never did anything without purpose. He never wasted a single word. He was a simple man wasting no movement or words.
@@justinktobin I enjoy movie breakdowns. Specifically with this movie, I was curious what the source text said about the character. What an acting performance and insane character.
Good observation. And it suits what Ellis says to Sheriff Bell. "You can't stop what's comin'." But was Chigurh stopped eventually? With his abilities I'm guessing he got away after the car crash. And he didn't see the car coming, he couldn't stop what was coming there.
@@justinktobin I think that's part of it, you can temporarily stop him but he keeps going (car crash, being arrested, shot, etc). I've compared him to judge Holden from blood meridian, he's more an aspect of human evil rather than a "devil". Such characters are more symbolism than human.
First video of yours I've stumbled upon. NCFOM is my all time favorite movie and that question did linger in the back of my mind for some time. Guessing I need to go read the book now!
It's a very fun read. Perhaps my fav novel and movie. Not sure if you've read any other McCarthy books, but he wrote The Road, another good film but not as good as No Country.
Well done! I am curious on your take on both the extended conversations with both Carla Jean and Carson Wells on the book version. IMO the greatest insight into Anton's psyche, probably left out of the movie to add to the mystic of Anton. Thoughts, please.
Not sure about the book--ain't had the pleasure of reading it--but in the movie Carla Jean doesn't "call it wrong," she just refuses to call it *period.*
I never read the novel but after much thinking for years, I thought that the Sheriff and Anton were the same guy. The scene where the Sheriff enters the house and Chigurh was hiding behind the door made me think they were both present at the same time and they never faced each other. Also who were the two men in the suit reporting the details of the crime scene to Chigurh and why?
Coens wouldn't play games like that with us. The movie barely has a narrative, much less 3 clean acts or even an ending, so a twist that turns everything on its head wouldn't work. I think the point behind that scene was that the cause of all the sheriff's ills was that close - and he will never know it. Right after the conversation about AC being uncatchable, no less. I'm pretty sure the guys reporting to Chigurh were from the same building that sent Carson. He seemed to be aware they were all betraying him over that drug deal.
Good observation. And actually, Sheriff Bell and Chigurh have no scenes together, and the novel is the same way.Then again, Sheriff Bell and Llewelyn Moss have no scenes together either except for when Moss is dead. The hotel scene with Llewelyn and Chigurh plays out differently in the novel, with Chigurh coming into the room, Llewelyn hiding behind a bed and then pointing a shotgun at Chigurh and telling him "Don't turn around" and to drop his weapon. Then Moss leaves and they shoot at each other.
@@justinktobin yes, remember when the deputy said sheriff he just had a glass of milk, we just missed him he was here. The Sheriff starts looking at his reflection on tv saying yes we did. I think he was having a glass of milk too.
@@justinktobin For a seasoned sheriff about to be retired he strangely appeared lost and mentally struggling not knowing what he wanted to do with his retirement. For his last gig as a lawman he somehow decided to be the criminal. Now you may ask who killed Woody? Well there was probably a third guy chasing after this money too but he probably didn’t do all the killings. I don’t think it really matters. As the name of the film implies of all those main characters he was the only old man.
@@snowwalker9999 I don't know what the Coens had in mind, but in the novel Chigurh takes out a carton of milk, drinks, then puts it back in the fridge before he sits down and stares at his reflection in the dead gray screen. But there's no scene in the novel with Bell drinking from the same carton or even looking at his reflection in the TV.
Thanks for the kind words! Actually, I'm working on a novel, with a tone and writing style inspired by Cormac McCarthy. I plan to do an audio version of it and perhaps publish chapters of it on here.
Thanks! I first read it completely about 10 years ago too, and read parts over and over again since then. I’d have to say it’s my favourite novel, maybe even favourite film.
Some people have said it sounds like I'm saying arrest us. It's just my accent I guess, but it sound normal to me. Haha. Although the auto captions show arrest us, but in other in other parts of the video they show arrested.
Very good video. I find this character to be one of the most interesting. The book broke my heart when the bad guy won. I always felt like it was a book left unfinished and then a demand for more work arrived and he simply killed everyone off in order to finish the book. Now he was arrested for being suspected of murder and not placed into a cell? Everyone knows there are people who can escape handcuffs. Many law enforcement personal are trained to escape handcuffs or at least how to reverse where they are at.
There is something that I find bizarre. Around 2:35, the "Proprietor" of the gas station notices the "Dallas" license plates on the white Ford sedan. How could he do that? License plates are issued by states not by municipalities. How could the "Proprietor" infer that the owner of the car comes from "Dallas"? The car has Texas license plates not Dallas license plates.
...hmm...makes me wonder if they actually filmed the scene in which Sugar kills the bully who makes fun of him. It would be a nice addition if they ever bring out a " special edition "
He killed somebody who deserved it therefore allowing him to kill the cop who let his guard down- maybe before he didn’t have to kill to escape but this cop was a prick or he had no choice
I don’t think the person deserved it. Certainly not for laughing at him. Although he did follow Chigurh outside so maybe Chigurh killed him in self defence. I’d say he had no other way to escape the arrest other than killing the deputy. Let’s say he ran out with the cuffs on, and the deputy could have easily shot him.
Maybe that was common practice in rural communities in 1980. Mainly because sheriffs and deputies weren't used to that kind of violence. It kind of goes with what Sheriff Bell said about how things are getting crazier.
Personally I’ve always believed that Lywellen was just hunting that day and happened to find the money by blind chance… there were no actual indications that prove he was out there with the 2 million in mind. I like that scenario a lot more as it relates to the theme of chance that we see throughout the whole movie But I’ve been wrong before
You're right. He was just hunting antelope and came across the drug deal gone wrong by chance. He saw the heroin in the back of the pickup truck so figured there had to be money somewhere.
Fascinating character. Not necessarily psychotic, but definitely seems psychopathic. Perhaps another video on his personality, or a character study on Anton Chigurh.
Haha. 69 is a cool number, but thanks for subbing! This channel is new, and I think I've finally found a topic/category I want to keep making videos on.I can assure you there will be another No Country video this week.
I enjoyed the presentation. I would like to see the content creator compare and contrast the difference between the book and the movie vis-a-vis the conversation between Anton and Carla Jean. Very different.
Good idea. I plan to do a thorough review and analysis of Chigurh's coin toss, why he uses it and what it means. The longer dialogue with Carla Jean in the novel would tie into that.
Wow, that's almost 10 minutes of my life I ain't gettin' back. This is why every film ever made from a book, people walk out of the theatre saying "....Yeah, but the book was better." Shocker, books have more details than movies. What's Donald Trump Jr. doing making film commentary videos? He must REALLY not care about going to jail. I'm gonna go try and figure out why a painting isn't as good as a song.
Did you say "arrestus" several times instead of "arrested"? There are a few times later where you pronounce "arrested" correctly, however its not the only pronunciation that was incorrect. Instead of "effortless" you said something like "efforcteless". And you pronounce "linear" like "luhneer". Your accent sounds native to american english and i am not trying to pick on you. Is there a dyslexia at play?
How does Anton know Carson was also after the money / him? Because he saw Carson visit Moss in the hospital? Also how does he know the business man also gave the Mexicans a transponder?
Good questions! Carson is at the same hotel that Moss was when Chigurh came for him. This is explained in more detail in the novel, but it's the same hotel. Wells makes it known that he and Chigurh know each other, so perhaps Chigurh knew Wells would be looking for the satchel of money too. There's actually a shootout with Chigurh and the Mexicans outside the hotel in the novel too, so maybe he was angry at the businessman because of this and that's why he killed him with bird shot.
I've Read The Book And Watched The Film...I Can Say That About The First Four Minutes Of Your Video Are 100% Incorrect...After That, It's Fairly Accurate.
The book says he killed a frat boy, allowed himself to be arrested in order to see if he can free himself through force of will. The book gives a little more than insight into such a mysterious character.
Yeah that would be good in the film.. Ruthless, bazaar and insane.
I interpreted the “frat boy” he killed to be the shadow of the murder he commits first in the film, an officer in the fraternal order of police.
he freed himself, but i wouldnt call force of will.
Funny if the frat boy pranked Chigur.
The novel also makes it clear that the entire book is about aging and has no punctuation.
he was arrested for killing his barber.
Hahaha!
@@justinktobin Barber: Ok I'm done!
Chigurh stares in the mirror, makes a face and takes his coin out.
Chigurgh: Ok, call it.
He talks about it in the book, to Carson Wells. He says he was at a diner and a group of teenagers/young men kept looking at him, and as he passed to pay the check, he kept repeating an insult. Chigurgh motioned for them to come outside, and when they did he broke the one’s neck, while the others tried in vain to wake him up. And he just drove away.

8:06 She didn't lose a coin toss. She refused to participate. Something no-one had ever done to Chigurh and he was taken aback.

for the algorithm... Great job!
That's the bit that spoils the film, he would never have been arrested , no way Jose...lol...he is way to smart to get caught by a rookie cop
sheriff bell broke every police rule on how to check a room where you think an armed suspect is hiding.
I think that Bell knew that the killer might be hiding there, but he didn't want to face the killer.
i cant really imagine chigurh being arrested by that idiot of a deputy. no way in hell, he would have killed him within a half a second.
I agree, but remember Chigurh allowed himself to be arrested in the first place, to see if could extricate himself through an act of will.

Anton Chigurh is my favorite character in history🪙
How did he get arrested is the real question
Probably for something stupid like the vehicle he was driving being registered under someone elses name and him just seeming off to the cop
Why are you saying “arrestes”
Думаю что , в начале фильма Чигура арестовали за убийство парикмахерши.
Hahaha!
Wait is this like the Super Troopers joke where they're like "meow"??? Why are you saying "arrest us"? Like "the antagonist was arrestus" lmao
Haha. Maybe it's just my accent. I think even the auto captions show "arrested" and not "arrest us" though.

Good idea. I plan to do a thorough review and analysis of Chigurh's coin toss, why he uses it and what it means. The longer dialogue with Carla Jean in the novel would tie into that.
Awesome
Thanks!
The real question is Why not?
Why’s this guy saying “arestus”
5:40
Arrestus?
Why? Haircut.
Arrest-uz?
Wow, that's almost 10 minutes of my life I ain't gettin' back. This is why every film ever made from a book, people walk out of the theatre saying "....Yeah, but the book was better." Shocker, books have more details than movies. What's Donald Trump Jr. doing making film commentary videos? He must REALLY not care about going to jail. I'm gonna go try and figure out why a painting isn't as good as a song.
Donald Trump Jr. makes film commentary videos? What makes you say that? Haha.
This guy didn’t answer a damn thing about why he was arrested.
Yes he did, did you watch the video? He killed a guy at a diner in the parking lot, and got traffic stopped later on and was arrested as the suspect.
Did you say "arrestus" several times instead of "arrested"? There are a few times later where you pronounce "arrested" correctly, however its not the only pronunciation that was incorrect. Instead of "effortless" you said something like "efforcteless". And you pronounce "linear" like "luhneer". Your accent sounds native to american english and i am not trying to pick on you. Is there a dyslexia at play?

Got a screwgie?
How does Anton know Carson was also after the money / him? Because he saw Carson visit Moss in the hospital?
Also how does he know the business man also gave the Mexicans a transponder?
Good questions! Carson is at the same hotel that Moss was when Chigurh came for him. This is explained in more detail in the novel, but it's the same hotel. Wells makes it known that he and Chigurh know each other, so perhaps Chigurh knew Wells would be looking for the satchel of money too. There's actually a shootout with Chigurh and the Mexicans outside the hotel in the novel too, so maybe he was angry at the businessman because of this and that's why he killed him with bird shot.
@@justinktobin In the hotel Anton asked the hotel clerk to show him the sign in register. So he obviously saw Carsons name on there.
I've Read The Book And Watched The Film...I Can Say That About The First Four Minutes Of Your Video Are 100% Incorrect...After That, It's Fairly Accurate.
He was arrested for being the most overrated villain in the history of film.
Facts, bro. Facts. He's just a misunderstood man.
