Because death doesn't give a fuck if you're ready or not meet it.

>>81630384
is the reason he died because of inconsistent morals? If I remember, haircut makes a speech about how he's the only "consistent" force in the world (or something to that effect)

and the only reason brolin got caught up in the first place was because he did the "right thing" and returned to give the one guy some water he could've gotten off scot free had he not gone back, and eventually he ended up getting killed because he cheated on his wife, essentially acting unfaithful and inconsistent with his morals whereas haircut remains "consistent" the entire film and walks out on top

Yikes. Why do tourists get so upset? Actually try using your brain next time. Think about what you're seeing rather than just expecting to be handed an answer. No Country really isn't even a complicated film, you dumb phoneposter.

Here's a tip: Watch more films and try to use the critical thinking skills you learned in elementary school. Being butthurt that you ask stupid questions and get called stupid for doing so isn't beneficial to your growth. Don't sit in denial try to learn something.

they can say what they about choosing to have him die offscreen, but ultimately the main characters are the sheriff and chigur, which is made more obvious in the book

llewlyn doesn't undergo any change or growth. he is just a vehicle for the plot

>>81631694
>>81634108
This.

If you lurk here often then maybe its overrated, but I would easily rate it the same as that anon. 8.5 or 9/10.

It doesn't necessarily have an big philosophic message or any commentary on the medium like Tree of Life, but its pretty much perfect at what it does: a deconstruction of Westerns.

+ its ALSO an extremely effective action / noir / thriller type of movie.

>>81634164
I'd say they're equally as good but in different ways. Kind of funny too since my favorite part of There Will Be Blood is the soundtrack but NCFOM has no music at all.

>>81634206
the soundtrack around the oil rig explosion is extremely memorable

i probably liked No Country more initially as an entertaining interesting chase film, but appreciate TWBB more as a cinematic "epic"

will gladly watch both if i come across them on replay though

If Llewellyn died and TLJ avenged him as his last act before retiring I would have been fine with the formers death but there's literally no payoff for this entire film

>>81633952
This is obvious he was very cautious about shit, When he was in the park he could hear someone else moving around in the back which could mean a hassle. I don't think he had a gun on him at that point.

I sent Uncle Mac's thumbbuster and badge over to the Rangers put it in their museum. Your daddy ever tell you how Uncle Mac come to his reward? Gunned down on his own porch over in Hudspeth County. Seven or eight of 'em come up there, all wanting this, wanting that. Uncle Mac went back in the house to get the shotgun. Well, they was ahead of him. Shot him in his doorway. Aunt Ella come out, tried to stop the bleeding. Uncle Mac all the while trying to get that shotgun. They just sat there on their horses, watching him die. After a while, one of 'em said something in Indian and they turned. Left out. Uncle Mac knew the score, even if Aunt Ella didn't. Shot through the left lung.

And that was that... As they say.

You must not actually love the movie because you clearly don't understand that the story is meant to transcend traditional views of western style morality. That's the point of Anton Chigurh, his use of the bolt pistol and coin flipping.

One of the few films that can unironically be called kino.

>>81631417
i thought chigur didn't kill him. the mexicans did and sped off but never actually found the full satchel in vent. chigur showed up after and took it no?

>>81635371
Yeah Sugar didn't kill him.

that's the irony, Llewelyn wasn't bested by Chigur in a battle of skill or wits, he was blindsided by something he never even considered or saw coming

what is so stupid about looking too deep into shit like this is that you sound like that one guy who is way too stoned and listening to a song saying how the different parts represent something bigger than just sounding good

I think it's sort of incorporating Cormac McCarthy's use of a sort of "new wild west" like in All the Pretty Horses where the argument he's making is that the romantic idea of the gunslinger, white hat, black hat, they have the shootout and the good guy rides off into the sunset is dead.

Moss faces off with Chigurh the whole movie up until the moment you'd expect some kind of final climactic battle to happen. It shows that no matter how smart you are, the house (the establishment, either the government in All the Pretty Horses or in this case the greater power of the cartel) will always win against the "hero" who tries to beat the odds with his wits and a shotgun.

Because Uncle Ellis put it best at the end to Tommy Lee Jones, "You can't stop what's coming."

The whole movie, we're lead to believe fate will pit Llewelyn against Anton in a climatic Hollywood ending. We're denied this outcome. Brolin meets an off screen death and there's nothing we as an audience can do about. It just happens. Can't stop it.
