ok, saw the movie yesterday. i'm confused about a couple of things. Spoiler who were the guys with chugar at the scene of the mexican shootout that he eventually killed after asking, "can i see that?" and what was his relationship to the guy in the office building and woody harrelson?"
Part of the reason why the characters seeme so lifelike is that many of them were native to West Texas. Woody Harrelson was born in Midland, and Tommy Lee Jones is from W Texas as well. Other characters were also from there. I was surprised to learn that Javier Bordem had done few, if any, American movies prior to this movie. His performance was very strong, obviously -- even more so when you consider he typically acts in Spanish. Spoiler 1. Where did the money go? To the Mexicans that killed the main character and drove off in the pickup? To Anton after he went back into the hotel after it was a crime scene? 2. I figured Tommy Lee Jones or the wife were in on it, and kept waiting for that to be the ending... was it, or not? Looked to me like Anton killed the wife. 3. What happened to Anton after he broke his arm and walked off?
What a GREAT movie! I saw it last night & didnt expect much but i was suprised by how well it was made. I do have some questions.. Spoiler Who took the money at the end? Did Anton kill the wife? I think he did because he looked at his boats to make sure there wasn't any blood on them... How could have Tommy Lee have took the money like alot of you are saying?
No Country For Old Men LEAK! Gas Station Scene w/ Actual Recorded Dialog While I can’t reveal the source of this video, I can verify its authenticity. Most people don’t know that all of Javier Bardem’s movie work is overdubbed by his twin brother. What you are about to see is the best scene from No Country for Old Men as it was filmed that day. <object width="400" height="267"> <param name="allowfullscreen" value="true" /> <param name="allowscriptaccess" value="always" /> <param name="movie" value="http://www.vimeo.com/moogaloop.swf?clip_id=988699&server=www.vimeo.com&show_title=1&show_byline=1&show_portrait=0&color=&fullscreen=1" /> <embed src="http://www.vimeo.com/moogaloop.swf?clip_id=988699&server=www.vimeo.com&show_title=1&show_byline=1&show_portrait=0&color=&fullscreen=1" type="application/x-shockwave-flash" allowfullscreen="true" allowscriptaccess="always" width="400" height="267"></embed></object><br /><a href="http://www.vimeo.com/988699?pg=embed&sec=988699">No Country For Gay Men</a> from <a href="http://www.vimeo.com/user429640?pg=embed&sec=988699">Lawrence Scaduto</a> on <a href="http://vimeo.com?pg=embed&sec=988699">Vimeo</a>.
Thanks. I saw this video get mentioned in Entertainment Weekly, but couldn't find it on youtube. Good stuff. It reminds me of the various parodies of There Will Be Blood's "Milkshake" scene.
Yea once again ...I know Im late . However the movie is great minus all the holes and terrible ending. I understand and OK with the bad guys winning ,but you CANNOT have the good guy die offscreen . Horrible combination. LOL @ Woody Harrelson being in the movie...pretty pointless. Alot of questions left in the film. Who was Woody H. and the the guy in the office? How did Moss die?
Harrelson's character was similar to Chigur, or maybe a PI or something. Able to track people down, and a veteran so possibly also a killer. Stephen Root was just some oil man/banker who presumably was buying the drugs in the original botched drug deal (for distribution stateside), it was likely his money as both Harrelson and Chigur were in his employ. Moss, who I don't see as any kind of a "good guy" or even the main protagonist (Tommy Lee's character was), was killed by the drug dealers who I believe were on the other side of the original deal in the first place. My only lingering question is whether or not the "be-er" girl was in on it or was also killed. I didn't hear or see any mention of actual product in the film, so I assume these guys or this gang were just taking money without supplying drugs. Didn't check Wikipedia, so please correct if necessary.
Shoot, these days, I'll take any non-formulaic movie- but, that being said, No Country for Old Men was great. There are certain directors who you can always count on for giving you at least an interesting if not great movie. Just like you can rely on James, Wade, Bosh, Durant, and Bryant to give you 20 points each game, you know that if it's done by Tarantino, the Coen brothers, Alexander Payne, Spike Lee, Soderbergh, or Scorsese, it's probably going to be at least worth watching and probably very good. The Coen's track record: Blood Simple, Fargo, Lebowski, Barton Fink, Country, Arizona, and Miller's Crossing. All worth several viewings.
Not any longer. Man, some people don't see a movie until a couple of years after it comes out. There is a reason we have spoiler tags. I, for one, have yet to see it. Now I won't have to bother.
Sometimes all the questions in a movie is part of what makes the movie so great if it's pulled off the right way cause it keeps you thinking and wondering. I think that's definitely the case for No country for old men. IMO anyway.
You realize you are quoting a post from 2007, right? BTW, normally I agree with the whole spoiler thing, but you gotta blame yourself here Deck. A thread (and movie) that is several years old, eventually someone is going to slip up and forget a spoiler tag. I mean, why risk it if you haven't seen it anyway? You should still watch it though, some great performances.
