Movie endings, they're usually pretty straight forward right? Everything pays off, the main characters learn something, and our heroes ride off into the sunset. Sometimes though, we don't get the typical ending from a movie, we get something much more nuanced, complex and open ended. The kind of endings that leave things up in the air for all of us to debate and theorise on until we're blue in the face. With Movie Endings Explained, we aim to delve into some of the more ambiguous and mysterious endings to films that have left audiences scratching their heads for years, and to attempt to explain them. In most cases, a definitive answer isn't really there, so we definitely want to hear from YOU on how you interpret the various endings we'll be discussing with this series.
This time we take a look at the 2007 Oscar winning modern classic, NO COUNTRY FOR OLD MEN, adapted from the Cormac McCarthy book of the same name by the Coen Brothers (FARGO, THE BIG LEBOWSKI). While on the surface it may not seem to be a film that has an uncertain conclusion, people have debated it for years since its release, arguing over what the final monologue of the movie really means, and how much symbolism plays into the overall story. It's a film so rich with depth and themes supporting by fantastic performances that you could mine its content for hours, but here's simply one take on what it all means by the time we get to the final scene of the movie.

Bell's uncle says, "It ain't all about you; that's vanity."
I'm almost 70 and am just beginning to genuinely appreciate how important that realization truly is in my life.
God gave us this time
He says "It ain't all waitin' on you". But yeah, good line and makes me think about what the hell I'm doing with my life.
"..can't stop whats coming" .. one of the best quotes ever
Anton 100% for sure killed Carla Jean. You see, him checking his boots was more than just a callback to when he took his socks off. Anton, for some reason, does not like to get blood on his feet. Throughout the movie we see him go out of his way to avoid blood touching his feet or boots, and him checking his boots after leaving means that blood was spilled, and he wants to make sure none got on his feet.
100% agreed
Never doubted her fate.
Absolutely, but the movie is about sheriff bell. The other two are minor players.
Bullhorn
Yeah. And also, if he did not kill Carla Jean, he would not come out so relaxed that he doesn’t even look back. She could go after him with a knife! ^_^
To me what's most interesting about the last scene is how defeated Bell looks when he's done recounting the second dream. After acknowledging that this country has no place for old men like him, perhaps what he most wanted was to join his father and see him again. And maybe his father passing him without saying anything, without even looking at him, was more about Death passing him up than about his father. For me that's what the dream meant: I'm ready to go. So when he tells his wife at the end, "Then I woke up," that's almost like the moment of real death right there: waking up, not being with his father, and having to deal with this shitty world all over again.
There's this amazing line in the film Wide Sargasso Sea: "There's always two deaths: the real one, and the one everyone sees." Maybe this was Bell's real death. It's a poignant but very powerful way to end the film.
wow very vivid in a good way
@@n8nocircumcisebaby102 Thanks for the good words--that last scene really affected me, it reminded me of a Tarkovsky scene, all poetry and metaphor really, and the surface words themselves didn't mean much. McCarthy's death hit me hard. The world is a smaller, tighter, more banal place without him in it.
One of the main themes in Cormac McCarthy's "The Road" is the strength required to remain good in a corrupt world.
If we look at this in the context of Bell's dream in No Country for Old Men, I think he is lamenting for the time (real or imagined) when good men were not yet corrupted.
In the first dream he mentions his Father meeting him to give him some money, much like the teens on the bridge and the kids on the bikes we see earlier in the film. Money is the corruptive force in No Country. (and also Fargo) It's a flat, uninteresting dream with no imagery.
In the second, more vivid dream, set in the "older times", he describes a foreboding landscape, where money would be of no use. (much like in McCarthy's "The Road") It is in fact something elemental, fire, that his Father is getting for him, something essential to survival. He knows he can depend on his Father to be there ahead of him, providing the fire.
I think Bell longs to be this man (though he failed to save Brolin's character) while lamenting he lives in a world absent of them.
Hey -that's a pretty good analysis - I think you nailed it.
Thank you.
I disagree with the first dream analysis. Hes talking about his father giving him money, and him losing it is a reference to the opening scene. Ed Tom says grandfather was a lawman, father too. The money represents legacy, like an inheritance, to be cherished. But at this point in the film, Ed Tom has lost it. The dream represents his sense of failure.
@@JunkyardFox nailed this, gj
I think many things, still enamored by this movie and putting an analysis of my own together. It's a puzzle. Beautiful analysis you have there yourself sir. Stay in touch.
One of the best movies I've ever seen.
I always loved how Carla-Jean questioned his coin toss logic. It is the one time when his calm and stoic demeanor disappears. As for the ending, yes, I think it is very clear that Jones' character is frightened of the world that he will soon leave. The whole movie is evidence about his dialogue in the beginning, how the world is getting shittier as it goes on..ex: Carla Jean's death could've been avoided but greed got the best of Moss. Great ending
actually its the opposite. All of this would have been avoided if Llewellyn wasnt a good person and let his conscience get the better of him. IF he never went back and brought that mexican dude water hed be 2 mil richer and alive. So in this particular scenario it wasnt greed that did them both in.
Except of course the world is getting better. When this old dude was young blacks weren't allowed to vote and there was military drafting. I don't know where he is pulling the shit world becoming more violent. Must be the brain damage from the asbestos and led of his generation
@@hillaryclinton8729Successful media brainwashing detected. It must be fun living in bankers heaven with artificially created crises, wars and replacing the genuine arts with fast cash grabbing bulshit, killing the nature because only money do matter...amen.
Well if she had just called the coin toss she would have had 50/50 chance of surviving, instead she just gave the decision to Anton instead, which means no chance of surviving.
Best movie of the 2000s. So many nuances that make this an incredible piece of cinematography.
There is a subplot that we should be careful of psychopaths and to never underestimate them. Carson Wells underestimated Chigurh and he got his head blown off.
So true regarding psychopaths! In this story they provide the sort of evil monsters that Homer gives us in The Odyssey, not the whole story but dangerous enough that you ignore them at your peril. As Bell says, "a man would put his soul at hazard." Anton is the king of the monsters
@@jimparker7778 I'm jealous because I can't reference Homer's Odyssey like you. But I can reference another great work - Little Red Riding Hood - the moral of that story is that you can't trust anybody, not even your own granny. She could be a psychopath too 🤔🤔😲😲😅😅
That coward snitch mf I hated him the most
My conclusion is that Ed Tom's first dream is a reference to the fact that money, which was the driving force of the movie's plot, was ultimately a mere prop in a much larger story of whether or not goodness and freewill exist at all in a world so seemingly overwhelmed with unavoidable evil. The fact that Ed Tom was always a step behind Anton, and never came close to him until he went back to Llewelyn's murder scene, which Anton fled without killing Ed Tom, tells me that the second dream was confirmation that Ed Tom's father was protecting him as a guardian angel the entire time, always keeping Ed Tom out of danger, always ensuring that Ed Tom never felt a sudden inclination to hunt Anton down or handle police work that others could take care of. When he came across the money, Llewelyn had a choice to stay in the light of Ed Tom's world or step into the darkness Anton's world. Once he chose to keep the money, he could not be protected as Ed Tom was being protected by his father. Also note that the only time Anton ever looks unsettled in the movie is when Ed Tom goes back to the motel room. The light of goodness is about to shine on the darkness of evil, as seen with the reflection on the lock cylinder.
One last bit on Anton's departure from the movie. We all had to either assume or hope that he was going to get killed, whether by Llewelyn or by one of the many rotten characters we would naturally deem slightly less evil than Anton. Recall that Anton left behind the dime he used to open the vents in both motel rooms, which obviously served as his lucky coin, similar to the quarter in the infamous gas station scene. Having not kept the dime, Anton's luck would soon run out, when someone else runs a red light to broadside him. Rather than leaving in a blaze of glory, we see a hollow, pathetic man, hobbling off to nowhere, being completely worthless to anybody in the world when he's finished being an assassin, the only function he ever served. He might as well have been dead, as he no longer served a purpose to the story, either.
I kind of believe the whole movie was Sheriff Bells dream as it was kind of disjointed like a dream like when Chigur was hiding behind a door but wasn't really there, how Woody Harrelson character sees the suitcase of movie but doesn't go get it and how Moss goes back to give someone water who certainly must be dead by the time he got there. It was all either a dream or a story from Sheriff Bells perception.
"Times are gone for Honest Men and Sometimes far too long for snakes" Blackhole Sun by Soundgarden would make a good tribute/ music video for No Country for Old Men
you didnt explain anything my friend, you just told us what heppened in the movie
1985brahim true, in fact the explanation part is in min 8:35 to one minute ahead
What do you need, a road map? It's Wallace Beery!!
*analyzed
"my friend"?.....don't you mean "friend-o"?
yea im still the same way i was before watching the video...did not explained anything ...just gave us a synopsis of the movie
I’ve been to most of those filming sights. They made good use of Las Vegas, NM
She shoulda called it, Anton would have left it up to chance, figuring that it was meant to be...either way.
Thanks. Interesting thoughts about a great film.
The movie is about Sheriff Bell
Chigurh also didn't attempt to kill the person whose negligence caused him detriment and could very well have killed him, much as his absence of conscience had cost so many their lives.
Still don't get why, at 2:43 or so, Anton waits for the sheriff. If he's gotten in there to grab the loot, why hadn't he not just left before the sheriff arrived?
"survives like a cockroach n shuffles out of the film" lol!
Yes, but does he leave his weapons in the car ?
He didn’t survive. He was walking a slow death. Even so the cops are going to find him. They know he exist. He ain’t running no more.
I think his father waiting on him means they will reunite when Bell passes away
The fact that Anton check his shoes for blood at the end basically says that he kills Carla Jean. I don't think I should've shown him doing that
I love the ending,the film is brilliant!!!
It sucked
Superior analysis. I can't fault a word.
So crazy that I’ve watched this incredible movie so many times but it was only in my recent viewing that when I got to the end, and again asked myself whether he would’ve killed Carla-Jean I noticed Anton checking his shoes and thought … damn that can only mean one thing
Nice movie
Nice thrilling movie
Nice background music
Nice all actor performance
THANKYOU 🙏
Cringe.
This song, where was it from?
One of the more basic things I've wondered about is the money - does Chigurh get off with it or not? It could have been in the car, but there was no way for him to get it with the police coming. Or, it could have been in a hotel room somewhere - but will chigurh be able to retrieve it after this incident? Is it possible he doesn't end up with it at all?.....Another idea I had is when Chigurh is walking off at the end, though not an "old man" by age - he now has one bad leg and one bad arm. In a way, he is an "old man" and perhaps no longer suited for his chosen profession. In this way, he is like the sheriff......I think one scene that gets overlooked is when the sheriff explains how even a simple plan can go wrong. He talks about how a farmer was planning on....have to admit it's been a few years since I seen it......but the farmer was planning to do something he thought would be simple and ended up permanently damaging his arm. Isn't this a lot like what happened to Chigurh? He thought killing that women was going to be easy. The thing is - and I'm not sure this is appreciated - his decision to kill her was purely emotional. Some may view Chigurh as emotion-less, but he is far from that. He is driven by his emotions - disdain for people, revenge, greed. You could say he is emotionally out of control. Even though he seems in control - why does he bother to kill this women? Because her husband got the best of him and that made him mad. Why does he bother to harass the old man at the store? Because that man just ticked him off. After all, he made himself much more memorable to the old man and so if the police ever did come to question him - he would remember Chigurh. Also, he might just decide to call the police himself and report this strange man who threatens violence......
The Mexicans recover the money from Moss. In the end Anton is walking away empty handed.
Does anyone have a theory as to why Anton just inexplicably disappears from the hotel room? We know he's in there because we can see the light of bells headlights on him from the punched out lock. And Anton looks like he's ready to fight like he knows someone's about to enter the room. You could say that it's bells imagining it but we see Anton and bell doesn't know what he looks like so it can't be in his mind. And the coen brother's even show bell walking into the bathroom and looking at the locked window meaning no one has left through the window. No one ever has an explanation for this.
Because the sheriff comes from another time line. His dream at the ends explains that.
Just read the book. It's not long, not hard to read, and it clears everything up. Basically Chigurh was never there; he left before Bell arrived.
What if the dream about the money signals that this film is a nightmare for Bell and that he was asleep till this ending sequence, at which point, Bell is contemplating his own death?
In the dream, Moss resembles Bell’s great uncle Mac, due to the age Moss died and how he died and how outmatched he was. Chigurh believed that Moss knew what was going to happen, just like Mac. Chigurh resemble Bell’s father in the sense that Bell’s father was carrying fire in a moon-colored horn, like the silencer on Chigurh’s shotgun.
Bell knew that whenever he got to wherever his father was, he knew that he’d be there, just like at the hotel, where he knew Chigurh would be. Bell believed he was supposed to die there and he wanted to, but he didn’t, which is why he woke up and remembered and wondered “If I didn’t die there, then where will I die, and how”. When Chigurh wrecked, he walked away, but not unscathed, just like how Bell’s father just walked on by or “rolled on past”.
So Bell looking back on his whole life could really be him looking back on the events of the entire film and those events all being a dream. And Bell knew that since Chigurh got away, the two of them will meet again, and Bell will not walk away alive, ergo the line “There are no clean getaways”.
For me, that last scene is about the karma invoked by the killer's bluff, his attempt to offload his choices to kill to some arbitrary chance (a surrogate, or new, "first cause") having nothing to do with him. That, 1) his last victim refuses to buy what he is selling, so forces the real choice back to him (one already made he is trying to re-brand and re-sell), as he kills everyone involved) and 2) that he gets hit by that other car, even though the light is green (meaning an ethical "go" NOW, with a hidden "shouldn't have gone" THEN) shows me that one of the intended morals is that while choice may OFTEN be an illusion, acting as if you are offering one to someone else when you are not justified in doing so invites even larger karmic consequence, even though the evil in play might have a necessary cause. It is a giant zen koan in which one is only made culpable for necessary evil acts when one tries to pretend they never have a choice to face this necessity (and so to die, only to replaced by the next necessarily "for-evil" agent to be so tested in the cause of The Good). So, while the killer's mission is "righteous" ("wrongeous"?), he oversteps in this extra (hubris) game he plays, and is reminded not to "play God", by Fate itself. Frank Miller creates a similar divine killer, named Kevin, in one of his Sin City Stories, but here the anti-hero accepts his fate, so is able to kill the monster, Kevin against God's endorsement of his Diviness. In Old Country the only one existentially fit to stop the killer opts out of the game (or is opted out?) BEFORE the question can be asked, so no necessity for the nature his end is proposed at the end of the movie (although there is the scene were the killer appears to hide from him, so the sheriff may simply be an ineffective "angel", one who sees that some higher order, i.e. God or Fate, has already deemed the fates of all involved with the tainted money, as death). The only choice we often really have is what we think about what actually happens, not about what will happen next (similar to Spinoza's "blessedness", but obviously degenerate (evil), not holy (enlightened)). Here, in this movie, the opposite of evil is not good, it is resistance in the face of certain demise (only his final victim acts heroically in this regard, by refusing to play the killer's game, but still submitting to God's game). In many ways this biblical inspired theme shows us that evil is often more superficially free than good. Good has no choice but itself (which is not a choice at all), evil gets all it wants, as long as it sticks to the script of necessary consequence, and never of choice (which is God's alone to mete out). It is an ethical dystopia on offer; that it appears identical to our world should give one pause.
@M. Brian Palmer that is very intricate.
notice that the air vent was open which could mean Moss was trying to hide the satchel in the motel's air vent system. Chigurh may not be in that room, he may be in an adjacent room looking to fish the satchel from the vent system, just like Moss did earlier. the unexplained part is that some unknown persons knew where Moss was and they killed him and took off with the satchel. think back to the meeting Carson Wells had with the man who hired him ("there's a floor missing, we'll look into it"), he was working for a group of investors that were out of their product. they likely hired both Chigurh and Wells, and the people responsible for killing Moss. kind of falls in line with the plot; that is that no one, not Moss, Carla Jean, the hotel clerk, or any of the others are important. that may be what Bell was telling us all along. its just a coin toss.
It's the future Mr Gittes---the future!!!
Moss was killed by the Mexican cartel members who were the other side of the botched drug deal in the start of the movie, whereas Anton was hired by the people who were buying the drugs from the Mexicans.
I almost fell in our sofa while watching this movie in 2007!
My thought is that the ending scene with Jones’ character divulging his dreams to his wife have a meaning that’s darker still. He didn’t dream that he and his dad were sitting around the fire eating grilled meat.
I agree that he has hope in a belief of his father waiting ahead of him with a hot fire. However, like his last case, nothing seamed sure in the way he expressed his interpretation. Also, like many men of his time, and even now, after being a vital part of society, or an organization, his dream (and the movie) seems to point toward an obsolescence, and his waiting for death.
NCFOM seemed like a violent homage to John Steinbeck.
I think you did a very good job! keep it up!
I wonder if the psychopath is real. or is he a metaphor for what happens to soldiers coming back from war(viet nam). just don't know
For some reason, I thought it was some random mexican laying on the floor dead when I saw the movie, so I had no idea what happened to Josh Brolin. But now that I see this review I can see that is Josh.
I thought it was just a Mexican too. Sheriff didn't know what he looked like. How do you explain the grate removed as if Josh came back for the money?
@@tenorsfan7492 The mexican cartel members who killed Moss also took the money.
Same..... smh.
Just like the ending in the Wizard of Oz. Dorothy (and the audience) realizes that the whole thing was just a dream. From the time that she bumped her head, until waking up in her bed at the end, it's a dream. Same with No Country for Old Men. Or Homer's epic tale, the many extraordinary events in the story---including all the unexplainable stuff is just a dream. Dreams never are important except to those concerned.
I love this movie so damn much
Very difficult to pay attention to the sheriff's story no matter the interest held by the action which to me a good movie could be understood by action alone with no verbal explanation. My opinion, there was no ambiguity in whether or not he killed the girl.
Carla Jean wanted to die. If she called the toss of the coin she would lose either way. If she chose the 'I live' toss she wouldn't have Llewellyn or her mother thus Hell on earth. If she chose the 'I die' toss it would be her choice thus picking suicide and eternity in Hell. By not choosing and telling Anton it was his choice Carla Jean at least had a chance at Salvation in the way she understood salvation.
Just a thought.
in the book she calls it and gets it wrong..!!!
@@gaz4840 ah...i was just getting into the explanation of the OP. 🤣. Dayyymn.
The ending is ambiguous, because... well, so is life. I.e., hard to figure sometimes. However, the dream is clear; The father in the dream represents stability, security, direction, warmth, destination. Tommy, even though he's older "by 20-years" is still following in the footsteps of his father to that secure destination. Meaning; even tough law men in Texas have doubt, fear, regret, and a desire to be led vs leading. But, like Tommy's uncle told him, "What you got ain't nothing new, this country's hard on people... can't stop what's coming . . . it ain't all waiting on you. That's vanity." The human condition has been one of struggle since the Bible days. Nobody get's out alive. And if you think you're alone in your struggle, well ... "That's vanity".
This is a very good comment
Can you please do There will be blood next?
The sheriff always arrives late after the crime, (notice Anton Chigurh disappears from the hotel room also) because he comes from another time line. His dreams tells that. There is a 20 year-delay time.
At 3:42, not only did he check his feet, but he told her that he had given his word. So regardless if Moss was dead or not, Chegur had to maintain his sense of integrity. He then gave her a chance (a play or opportunity to affect her circumstances), which she rejected, or forfeited. She said it was only up to him, to which he had previously just told her that the coin toss was the best he could do...
Yeah, the coin toss was the only way Chigur could circumvent his own "principles", as Carson called them. It was the 'best he could do' because he'd already given Llewellyn his word...that Carla Jean would not be spared if he continued.
Very good synopsis.
Great video!
His dad is waiting for him in heaven. Or at least that's what his intuition is telling him.
... ... ...""""""everybody!""""", go back and listen! too what the olde uncle said too olde sheriff; """""you can not stop what is comming"""""; the olde texas uncles words!!! are :{the key too the movie and book}... ... ...that is why sheriff bell had """no hope"" and the """hit man""" had all the hope in the world ; and why ross, was """out of his league"""; though he desperately tried too elevate into that """unstopable force""", that was like a sunami! ; that he tried too surf ; being wiser than everyone else..., except the greater evil!, that he tempted! ; the sheriff was terrified by the uncles words&; because he knew he was not good enough, litterally, too stop the great evil! sweeping his country away, with wrath and hopelessness, he exuded in his depressed, scared state of mind and body ; and luelleen, the hit man thrived on being his own law, executing "his way" as a god head; without any fear and judge, except himself; and ross let his life be unchecked by doing good, through knowing the evil; so he sold his soul too the onslaught of what the uncle preached... ... ...
Sincerely Brother brent!
yes, a true blood texan.
You missed the ending 100%. The last three scenes all tie together and explain where Bell is in this movie. Follow the money.
Moss and Chigurh were on screen at the same time...
Not face to face. Let's not split hairs.
not face to face, cuz of camera angle..
No. Only the actions of one upon the other from a distance...
You notice the tree behind TLJ as he explains his dream. The tree represents life without the conventional answers we expect. No answers is how life is. I have picture of my grandfather in 1927 he died soon after my father was born. No answers as to how other than the time period he was in. No Answers!!!
There are no answers in life other then things happen just because they can. It is not personal nor preordained.
I want to be a guest on the Real so I can meet Marlon Brando. Then teach them how real it is, dedicate the show to Cervical Cancer.
maybe the end was that death doent all ways sum it up. death is always out there and life is like his, dream a cold and dark road were those who passed on want for you with the fire of the meaning of life.
excellent, this is the best and most inclusive interpretation I have ever heard for this movie. And I feel you are very close to the mark actually
I hated the abrupt ending even though loads have praised the ending. What I do like though is that Anton Chigurh evading being arrested
He'd be there.
He would be there.
you didn't really explain the ending bro
thanks for the explanation I was so confused and a little disappointed when this movie ended
He was too nice
You married into it?
I felt like the instant karma on Anton with the crash was a dark nod to how ruthlessly he killed Carla. I feel like Moss from the otherside of death brought it down upon him.. Suggesting some sort of element of divine retribution in the film.
Anthony 234 you dont know what you are talking about
just because the ending is boring *(per se) , doesn't mean it is not explainable or understandable. it is an anticlimax compared to the rest of the movie.
The Sheriff out grew his use, that's what I assume.. he realized in his old age, that things are getting worse; when actually he's just getting old- and, nothing really changed.
Plus, life isn't about good or evil- it's the gray area that seems to always remain present.
Another thing: causality.
We all like to think there is a meaning to it all, and there's a purpose- when the sad fact is? There is none, you live & die, it's the between that seems like a series of gambles that could lead to fortune, misfortune, mundane existence, comfort, happiness, etc... it's just a gamble.
That can not be a shotgun. Th silencer has a very small hole in it! Someone goofed by calling it that. AND why does Tommy Lee always look like he needs a big dose of fiber ? Just a few un -answered questions. More to come,
I was wondering the same and I've never seen a sg being silenced.
Bell kinda confuses me
So Moss gets killed by the Mexicans who recover the money, Anton receives his fate in the auto accident. His injuries are pretty severe and he will eventually collapse into a coma and die of sepsis. That’s unless the cops find him which they will. Anton isn’t sprinting anywhere and the police will find him. I’m sure the boys aren’t the only witnesses. The only man who survives intact is the sherif.
Isn't it his Father
No he is not.
This film lost its way for me. Became artzyfartzy. It isn't terrible. It just... left me thinking... "thats a shame".
Edit: i dont mean to be unnecessarily harsh. It has so many good qualities. I get what this was trying to do. But maybe it was the framing. I was looking for more Moss. Moss died offscreen and it just went weird. Gah.
I think that the Sheriff is the Villain, but he just doesn't know it ''yet''.
(* and I guess that ''we'' won't ever find out either)
Hells Wind good twist.
When he was walking away after the crash. Where was the money
where were his weapons ?
you read all people comments but no one can tell what was the ending of movie
It's a two head coin he was gone kill her anyway y'all
Defenders of the movie contort themselves into pretzels to try to make sense of the ending, but, let's be honest --- the ending was a big disappointment in a movie that in every other respect fired on all cylinders.
fantastic movie with the shittest fucking ending of all time.god, what a tragic waste of an otherwise brilliant film
Yep. I agree.
What happened to the money!!! This is a argument my wife and I have had...she says the Mexicans took it I say the sherrif found it it's not clear who got the millions!!!
Well we know for sure that Chigurh did not walk off with it (look at that bone sticking out) as he walks down the street hobbling away. Were the Mexicans driving away when the sirens started with out the dough? Chigurh might have found it and hid it away somewhere. I did not see the Sheriff finding it nor the police. They should have made 5 different endings to the movie. 1. Chirgurh has it hidden away and gives up killing folks and buys a villa in Italy to retire. 2. The Mexicans got the dough but all fought and killed one another and someone came upon it and in 1986 buys 1 million in shares of Microsoft at opening and becomes a billionaire. 3. The Sheriff and his wife have it hidden away in a Swiss Bank Account and can retire happily. 4. The kids look inside the damaged car and find a case full of money and take and split it up. 5. The police find it and ends up in an evidence room where it sits today, unclaimed.
I think sheriff bell found the money I see him look at the vent open money Was in there There
So, did the Mexicans find the money?
High noon
I hate the ending. It's very disappointing.
Clear cut ending. Sugar was terrifying like the Terminator but worse
You barely summed it up, you took way too much time beating around the bush as you got to the end we just barely scratch the surface
Great all the way till the ending which was so so disappointing....shit
I think you missed the mark on his dream by a mile.
I think Bell is an old man who has seen some crazy shit between both his career and his career wrapping up with this 2 million dollar case as well as what he has seen Shagur pull off (killing with no consequences, even taking out a officer in his police station).
That being said I think the dream is meant to be a reminder to him that there is more to his existence then said career, keeping the peace, or even the horrible things he has seen. I think the "fixin to make a fire out in all that darkness and all that cold" could be interpreted as his father as "entered the void" prior to him and has made a home out of it, one that Bell will be able to share with him when he meets back up with. I won't go as far to say its a nod to an afterlife or reincarnation but I think it comes very very close to that.
I think that also why they link up the "I'm 20 years older now then he ever was" as well as "He's gone on ahead and when I get there I know he will be there". His father entered this world first and set him up for the life he has led and Bell's dream gives him the suspicion that that will take place once more.
your interpretation of the dream itself is solid, however there remains the question of what this dream has to do with the bulk of the story itself, the dream is only 30 seconds of a 2 hour movie, so there needs to be some integration of one with the other
you still didnt explained fully the ending....smh waste of time
You probably think the movie armageddon is a great movie
my own thought is the ending sux
Worst explanation
What a waste of time and energy. You explain nothing. All you have done is waste the viewers time.
You guys should redo this video with someone more competent.
It was stupid ending wth a really good movie ..
He didn't kill her for one reason and one reason only........she understood him and he couldn't do it because she earned her life.
in the book Carla Jean calls it and gets it wrong..!!
Hated this movie. There Will Be Blood should’ve won the Oscar that year for best film.
Both good movies though.
This was an interesting movie until the lame non ending. Take back the Oscar, please!!!
