Welcome to the Heavy Spoiler show, i'm your host Paul and this video we're breaking down No Country For Old Men.
-
This Coen Brother classic completely shook me to the core and I can't wait to go back through it and talk about the movie. Set during 1980 it's a game of life and death with a man who finds himself in too deep. Just something about it sticks with you forever and there's a lot of things going on deep below the surface. Throughout this video I want to dive into the film and discuss why I think it's a stone cold classic. I think once we're through you'll agree with me too as there's so many things going on in the movie.
Now upon starting it up I was instantly reminded about one of the cool things that the film does. That is that there's next to no music in the film.
-
Well...well except that bit...other than that though the soundtracks stripped away which gives the movie an atmosphere and intensity to it. It of course also helps ground it in reality as none of us walk through life with the man of steel soundtrack blasting in our ears. Well unless you're Patrick Bateman.

NOTE FROM PAUL - Apologies for the delay on this. Unfortunately the first version we released for members was blocked and taken down by Paramount. Due to the amount of footage used in the video they felt that it was too much and we had to re-edit the video from the ground up. This was mainly converting clips to images hence why the video is more slide-showy than our other videos. Hopefully you guys still enjoy it and though it delayed the release I do appreciate that Paramount were at least willing to work with us so we didn't lose any of the main commentary on the film. Going forward we're trying to work out whether to have me appear on camera on these longer videos so it's more us than their footage. The other option is to do what we did here with images. Let us know what one you'd prefer. Thanks, Paul

Carla Jean basically fucked Chigur up worse than anything in his whole life up to that point. You can see it on his face before the car wreck even happens. He tells himself he's a tool of fate to justify what he does, but Carla Jean makes him realize he really is "crazy" like everyone says. He just enjoys killing and always wants the coin to fall that way. But he's probably had doubts before, and Carla Jean refusing to call the coin is his breaking point. He still kills her because he "promised" Lleweyn, and because she saw him, but she wounds him worse than anyone else. I think it just reinforces the theme of "no country for old men," because even someone like Chigur can't keep that up forever. Someone will get them, or they'll get themselves sooner rather than later. Also I never really thought about the bird, yeah it's just another coin flip. If he "wanted" it dead he would have stopped the car, but to him the drive-by shot made it fate. He probably does some kind of mental coin flip every time he encounters another living thing, because he thinks he's the hand of death. Seriously the best villain of all time... both Cormac McCarthy's, and Javier Bardem's.

21:53 Red painted quarters were common up to and including the 80's. They were used by merchants to 'get the ball rolling' on jukeboxes or as a low coin warning in change machines, vendors used them when testing out products so they could easily identify and get their money back, (video games, laundry, billiard tables, etc) among other uses. It wasn't blood.

Things like this are why I sometimes hate these far out theories people come up with. I used to watch a channel called Collative Learning (I think) where the guy sees deeper meaning in every film, and comes up with these far out reasons to justify his theories based on incorrect assumptions (like the red quarter you mentioned). I can’t remember exactly which instance caused me to stop watching, but he basically made a flawed leap of logic based on a factually wrong conclusion he jumped to.

A masterpiece with amazing performances by Tommy Lee Jones, Javier Bardem, Josh Brolin, Woody Harrelson, and Kelly Macdonald. Carla Jean returns from her mother's funeral to find Chigurh waiting in her bedroom; refusing his offer of a coin toss for her life, stating that Chigurh cannot pass blame to luck: the choice is his. She's right, and not just about that, about everything. She's the only one who fearlessly stares down Chigurh and won't legitimize him. Chigurh: "Call it." Carla: "I knowed you was crazy when I saw you sitting there. I knowed exactly what was in store for me." Chigurh: "Call it." Carla: "No. I ain’t gonna call it." Chigurh: "Call it." Carla: " The coin don’t have no say. It’s just you." Devastating. Brilliant. Carla is a small unarmed woman who seems simple yet she's more clear eyed, and braver, than all of the men.

@jonnycollison 3 ай бұрын

Re Carla, yeah I saw that. She was the only one to see him and challenge him, but essentially it resulted in Chigurgh ending the story as unstoppable and showing his true psychopathy. If he had have let her go, the story would feel a bit "hollywood" but instead it left a truly bitter taste at the end, Chigurgh was death walking and that shouldn't change. It's such a superb film in that the protaganist gets no send off, the "narrator" - or the audience perspective, he gives up and the antagonist walks away scott free.

By aiming at the bird while his car is in motion, he's basically giving the bird a chance at life. Just like the coin flip. He likes toying with his victims.

I've always thought the Anton Chigur character is very much like The Tall Man character from Phantasm. Both characters kinda embody the unstoppable nature of death, both characters utilize an unusual chrome weapon, both characters have a mysterious background & both have a weird bowl shaped haircut

I always assumed Carla Jean was killed. But yeah, him checking his boots kind of cements that.

This movie is nothing without Javier Bardem. His performance was outstanding

@danzemacabre8899 Ай бұрын

I wouldn't go that far, it's a fantastic script and there are several very talented actors that could make it happen. His performance is brilliant but the actors are only as good as what material they have to work with

Could not agree more, excellent call reviewing this one. So many movies try to scare you today with jump scares or ridiculous gore, and here there is just a relentless disturbing feeling of horror because of Bardem's phenomenal performance. Like you said, this one stays with you. I also think you're right about Bell coming back to the hotel and choosing the wrong (which is actually the right) door. It works with the narrative of the movie.

Chigurh isn’t chaos. He is order. The only characters who act with perfect moral consistency throughout the story are Chigurh and the sheriff, though the sheriff feels turmoil about this. Some characters who live survive based on luck, but every character who dies does something to violate their own professed moral code, at least in the book.

The strangest thing to me about the film is that it supposedly takes place in 1980 but every single gun featured in the movie was made well after 1980, some of which were 10 years after...

This is a great breakdown of a great film... The Coen brothers' best in my opinion. If you have not read the book (or even if you have) I urge you to watch the film then immediately read the book and you can get an idea of how brilliantly they made this movie by staying faithful to what McCarthy wrote. The characters, acting, dialogue, setting and sepia tone-- it all fits seamlessly.

@bredmond812 3 ай бұрын

I am glad I found your channel. I'm getting a lot more milage out of my favorite movies. Thank you very much. You mention at time 43:18 that if you went back to the time of the Romans, you would find somebody saying, "Things aren't like they used to be." Well, there is an English drama from the 1970s called "I, Claudius", and in the beginning part of the first episode, a character says just that. It is right after the lurid dance scene right at the beginning, so be patient. I know it's not actually the Roman times, but it's still ironic to your point, and I think if you watched that part, you would feel there is a good twist that you can appreciate.

24:38 I'd disagree about the "she follows the rules" part of this. He made it a point at several other moments to tell other victims that their own rules don't do anything good for them, only HIS rules matter.
