“If the rule you followed led you to this, if what use was the rule?” The ending of the movie is often misunderstood. Anton is a dead man. He has murdered both sides of the drug exchange and stolen the money and now needs medical care. Not the first aide he gave himself earlier but a serious hospital stay. The film (and the book) are meditation on free will (Moss) and predetermination (Anton). The Cohen’s changed the ending so that Anton doesn’t get away with it. “The coin don’t have no say.” If he just let Carla Jean go Anton gets away with it. But because he lives by his rule of predetermination he is destined to be at that intersection when some random guy runs a red light. In the film he’s a dead man walking, we just don’t see it. We know this because the film gets less and less violent after the confrontation at the motel. Only one death is shown that being the management of the American side of the cartel. Carson, the chicken man, the beer lady, the Mexican cartel members, the mother, Carla Jean, and after the credits role Anton all die without us seeing it happen. The only good man, Tommy Lee Jones character, gets out alive but still feels like a failure.

That’s not my opinion, but their interpretation of the story. Anton has made enemies of both murderous cartels. He needs real medical attention or he’ll die of infection. It took Carson 3 hours to find Moss in the hospital. It’s all there in the movie.

“You can’t stop what’s comin’, and it ain’t all waiting for you. That’s vanity.” That’s the overarching message of this story. That’s what makes Llewellyn’s off-screen death at the hands of the cartel one of the best things about this movie. It just illustrates that fate doesn’t care who you are, your death is just as meaningless as the next person’s. Life doesn’t always tie your story up in a nice bow.

The only film I can genuinely call a masterpiece in accomplishing what it set out to do: don’t underestimate the audience. The film has no score, not a lot of sound design and the dialogue is very quick witted and sharp. We’re led to believe Llewelyn is the lead when it’s actually Tom Bell because the film is told from his perspective. He’s the literal old man and he realizes that after Llewelyn’s death. Chigurh is not actually behind the door, but Tom Bell’s fear and anxiety he describes at the beginning manifests as Chugurh to us the audience hiding behind and the Coen Brothers trust the audience is smart enough to know all of this with minimal dialogue. You guys should also react to True Grit (2010), The Tragedy of MacBeth (2021), Fargo (1996) and The Ladykillers (2004), The Big Lebowski (1998), Raising Arizona (1987) and Intolerable Cruelty (2003), all great films from the Coens.

The ending monologue is about a couple things. First, it's about how Tommy Lee Jones's character is accepting that his career is over, and how he's also resigned for the eventual end of his life - because his father's spirit is out there "waiting for him" in the afterlife, whenever he gets there. But it's also about how he's holding on to a sense of hope in the midst of the world's awfulness - because his father was carrying a torch with him, and was planning to making a fire out there in the darkness and cold.

Here's the meaning of the sheriff's two dreams about his father as I see it. In the first one where he loses the money is a metaphor for his failures as a cop & his inability to change destiny. The second dream is about hope for the future as he realizes his father will be with him in spirit. But then he says, "and then I woke up." which may mean that the idea of hope is only an illusion & the world is really as doomed as he feels.

His father in his dream represents a heroic figure that must exist for a group of people, country, or civilization to carry on and show you the way forward. Without a figure like this, during dark and desperate times, people fall into despair, and society can completely collapse. Somebody must carry the fire (torch) to light the way forward. Hence, Jones saying, " He was carrying fire. He had gone up ahead and was fixing to make fire up there amongst all that cold and all that dark. And I knew that when I got there, he'd be there."

The Mexican cartel caught up with Llewelyn at the motel in El Paso because Carla Jean's mother spilled the beans about where they were going to the guy who was helping her with her bags. Llewelyn didn't drop his guard because of the pool lady. He had no chance against so many guys with automatic weapons. The randomness of fate is a constant theme of the movie. Llewelyn tried to control things, but fails. So does Carson Wells. Sheriff Bell sees that things are outside his control, which is what leads him to retire. Even Anton, who seems himself as an instrument of fate, is not above random chance.

Updated response The crow scene is Anton testing “fate”. He feels like he’s the deliverer of fates decisions. Also why he uses a coin, he’s letting fate decide his next action. Him shooting at the crow (which is just sitting there and clearly an easy target) validates that he doesn’t make the decision, fate does. I believe the ending of the film is also telling us that maybe Anton is right that fate exists. At the end with everything we know (anton being evil, being the villain, and now almost getting taken out by a car crash and walking away from it)… fate is reminding him and letting us know that Fate is in charge and don’t test it. There is no happy ending bc fates decisions are random. You just never know what’ll happen… (ex: the ending with the villain geting away )

There is not just crime but EVIl. It doesn't make sense. It is non sequiter. That is what the guy was talking about in the beginning of the movie. And he was talking about the end of the road at the end of the movie, the dream. It doesn't really make sense. And that is the point. He was trying to figure it out too. And that is what the movie leaves you with. A feeling of incompletion. Dischordance. Modern times are nuts. They don't make sense. The Sheriff couldn't take the measure of it, and felt uncomfortable with it. Just like we feel when the movie ends when it does, with no resolution. There is no beginning, middle and ending.

Also from my understanding and what I read from others, the whole Anton being in room is Tommy Lee Jones fear of what’s to come, he’s THINKING Anton is in there when he really isn’t, he’s been gone. Tommy Lee jones character is almost purposely falling behind because he’s afraid of what’s to come, what new crazy person is around the corner. Throughout the film he’s bringing up stories of these new kids, people finding new ways to act crazy and kill and how disturbing and frightening these new things are. He’s afraid to confront it (as well as afraid he has no control on this kind of evil) and it’s cost him his job and the lives of others (Josh broLin’s character and his wife)

This is my favourite film. And I just had to read the book. The book obviously is way more descriptive on Anton Chigurh. But the most eye-catching chapter to read is when Anton speaks with Carla-Jean. In the book, he didn't want to kill her because it wasn’t her fault but the greed of Llewellyn. Anton explains with compassion why he needs to kill her. He is sympathizing with the victim since she was the only innocent one in the entire story who didn't care for the money, After they talk for a an entire chapter about just everything and in the end, he says that the best he can do is offer her the coin toss. She calls it and loses and then breaks down and cries to him over all the death and the fact that he’s the one choosing which side of the coin. Anton allows her to get comfortable and choose to say goodbye and then he shoots her. And stays with her until she passes then leaves the house. I can understand why they never put it in the book but the fact that the author had written it so both characters were breaking down was just so well written it’s honestly my favourite choater oitnof everything else.

Another Coen brothers Masterpiece. I'm surprised you cut out Tommy Lee Jones last lines. Talking about his dreams about his father and knowing what's coming next. A lot of this movie was from the perspective of the Sherriff (the old man) who knows death is near after retirement. The sadness in that last bit of film hits me hard every time I see it. Many layers to this film and I think it's the Coen Brother's best.

@@michaelhandy4968 I rank Fargo higher than No Country because, like their best films, it was original with the Coens. No Country is artfully filmed (Roger Deakins great as usual) and it's a pretty faithful adaptation of a novel, with the typical Coen touches. But O Brother is my favorite, for the creativity of the concept, filming the Odyssey transported to the Depression era South with a great Americana soundtrack and that Deakins cinematography. Then there's the highly underrated Hudsucker Proxy among their classic earlier works, Raising Arizona, Fargo and Lebowski.

React to the FEAR STREET trilogy, an interesting and brutal Netflix saga, even a new film is already in development, it's worth checking out.

A big part of the movie is to present how life doesn't play out the way you expect and there is a large element of randomness to it all. It's also the inverse of a traditional cowboy movie, that still carries a lot of the tropes of a cowboy movie but all of the expectations of a traditional cowboy movie play out inverted.

I think you misunderstood the ending. The ending is supposed to make you uneasy. It's not wrapped up nicely. It's supposed to leave you feeling off.

By having Llewellyn die off-screen as if it's not important enough to show the audience, the sheriff then becomes the protagonist, and the movie is about him. That's the point the directors are trying to get across.
