No Country for Old Men Explained

They don’t make well done great films/cinema any more

I'm impressed by the creativity in this content. A similar book I read inspired a significant shift in my approach. "A Life Unplugged: Reclaiming Reality in a Digital Age" by Theodore Blaze

It's about authority that suffers from pathological altruism leaving the population who consists of criminals and others who suffer from the same pathological altruism that's put the inept authority in power. A fruit of a populous that has no solid traditional fundamental axiom/God. Without God there can be no "absolute truths". Without "absolute truths", there can be no objectivism. Without objectivism dogma's take hold. This is similar in what we're watching in our society today in liberal ran sh_tholes. Who've blindly embraced nonsensical dogmatic virtues (vices)/ (pillars) vices of hegalian cultism/woke cultism. Notice in the movie that you see no rich folks. That's because they're the ones who've shaped this dystopia. They've used the hegalian dialectic to create it

I hate that no one seems to focus on the puzzle McCarthy made for us, why did Chigurh kill the two guys at the trucks, and more broadly, at the beginning of the film who is Chigurh working for? I think I have deduced the answers from the clues in the book (many of which didn't make it into the movie). But I am frustrated no one seems to focus on this puzzle, or its solution.

The wildest thing is that it’s not even one of McCarthys darker novels.

JAK THE SPARO

Watched this movie as a kid. Afterward, had a nightmare in which my dad died. That nightmare sucked.

Your analysis has scared me. Is God there? It’s just a movie. Right? Right?

I think he had the beer with her 🤔

Why did anton wanted the money?

Didn't notice this, but when Bell opens the door and later sit down. The coin is heads.

This video is edited so poorly

Ed Toms dream about his dad is anything but empty. Ed is at a point of turmoil and confusion and struggling with faith and trust in God (Not belief, noted by when he tells Ellis I always thought God would come into my life somehow, showing the perspective on which he sees God, which is that he is real, just not how Ed hoped). God gave Eds father a "telephone call" if that's a way to say it. "Something about some money, I think I lost it", Ed's dad reminding him of a found memory he had of his son "I can't believe you lost that money son, damn". Then he reminds him that even though he'd already died and "gone on ahead into all that dark and that cold, and was gonna make a fire, and he'd be there" that he was still with him in spirit BECAUSE OF GOD, and that even though Ed's scared, which that IS what it is, fear of the unknown and what comes next, that everything was gonna be ok and he was still his father and still loved his boy. Least that's how I heard it. Even the most faithful of us Men are afraid of what we do not know. Losing our dads is like losing the light and heat of the sun, and losing our moms is like losing the light and calmness of the moon at night. We fight with our dads, sometimes like HELL. But we are always afraid of the day we lose them, and we will lose them. We know this, just like we know one day we'll die too.

Anyone ever noticed how when moss was at the border talking to those teens they kept putting emphasis on if he got into a car crash or not then took his money , then Anton really got into a crash then the kids really didn’t want the money ..?

Watch this in black in white, this will give you a greater focus on the plot and what it offers.

A bit heavyhanded. Yes philosophy is a game of life and death, as elucidated in Plato's Euthyphro. But that's about it for conclusions. Every game is different. Every player is different.

After watching this I'm glad I never watched this movie. My choice was a good one for me.

God is NEVER absent. That's his nature. But, if we turn away from him, he gives us up to a reprobate mind. It is, ultimately, our choice. God Bless!!

This movie sucked.

Anton Sugar is the True Manifestation of TwoFace

I'm aware of Pascal's wager but disagree with the sentiment driving it. Faith isn't the 'safe' bet since--for all we know--we'll be found wanting in the end. I have faith but it came after a great deal of soul-searching and personal hardship. God has been there to comfort me in my darkest moments, even those moments when I doubted him.

This film is masterfully done, and I agree with some of these viewpoints, but still, so what? What is the value of these things for the audience?

This explanation is as vague as the film. Good film in the sense that it's an interesting psycho detective drama. However there is no clear plot or motive. A film that pretends to be clever. Still entertaining though.

If there’s one movie that reminds me of the barbarity of this movie and how finite life is is The Badlands by Terence Mallick

Best Coen Bros movie❤

Pascals wager is dumb tho. You don't have only to options, God or no god, life or death. There are infinite possibilities. You could still choose the wrong god, so the god option is not always the reward option. What if there is a wierd af god who likes to reward those who are skeptical and don't believe in god? who knows? everything is possible

There are some, "variables". But predominantly,..... You cant stop whats coming.

good point. for me, i saw a killer taking advantage of weak people. not challenging a worthy opponent.

Lleyelyn was killed by his wife's call to the Sherif, that is what tipped off the Mexicans, the threat he wasn't focused on.

Burt Burt

Javier played the role Anton chigurh so good that a lot of people missed the point of the movie ( I'm one of them)

Wonderful analogy ❤to a great story that can provoke one to live well

He would be so easy to kill in real life.

I case anyone was wondering, it is
Max von Sydow as the knight in the black and white movie.

The accident proves him wrong. There is utility to traffic laws even though following them will lead to the death of some who do.

“The bad man is lucky enough to die the good man is cursed to live”

I didnt even think about how the movie has no music

Why destroying classics

I enjoyed your thoughtful take.

Masterpiece

God is not silent, you are not listening!

Beautiful sentences spoken in the end.

Im a nihilst so all of these is meaningless because you die either way im loor mentally ill and hate society so i really have nothing to win becsuse nothing pleases me id rather have never had existed because life is a joke and absurd

Who is this aimed at ? How braindead do you think viewers are if they need movies explained to them ?

This is the best assessment . I tweak Ku like the way it weaves many elements together and gives historical reference to other films and history
