That’s the set Charlie Rose has used since the 80’s. Classic!

@@adamsapple7193 same camera too.... LOL

@@adamsapple7193 What set? LOL They look to be in outer space. But yes, classic.

I remember watching a mini series many years ago Rich Man Poor Man and William Smith plays a real hard nut, I reckon the character he played, Falconetti, was one of the most menacing characters in any show I ever saw, but I also saw Hannibal Lector played by Anthony Hopkins, he was sort of scary, but not terrifying, Then comes the character played by Javier Bardem, in "No Country for old men" now that is menmacing, he was brilliantly played in fact the whole thing was so well acted and made , Coen brilliance great actors, but Javier he scared the living crap out of me in that film. What a movie, one of the best ever, right up there with their other movies, an for me McDormand in Fargo, brilliant stuff. Javier you have a gigantic capacity sir, for acting, you were born to it, as it appears all the characters were for this movie. Thank you for the entertainment. Excellent work .

Ha! Funny how awkwardly accurate this seems

He should have won every award there is. Even NFL Superbowl rings. Just give him everything.

But you can’t not look at him, also. That’s why he’s SO chilling.

jim butler I agree with you. his character doesnt give away anything until he opens his mouth. the guy is devoid of any feelings. that is what makes him scary and unpredictable I think.

Yes. Shugure is someone who I'd let have whatever side of the sidewalk he wanted because he has no chill on his trigger finger

Imagine if he worked for the IRS?, you would be happy to pay just to get rid of him lol

youre lucky he didnt ask you to call it

@@trianglepant AHAHHAHA that cracked me

Friendo

I assume there wasn't something wrong with anything

Pixel 4XL with 14 grand innit.

But some of it was shot in New Mexico, like the store scene at the counter with the old man who was the cashier/owner...who had to deal with the dreaded coin toss.

Steiner - so right about the motel room !

All of it was filmed in NM.

Exactly the set feels like a real place, so rusty and there is a beauty to that rustic look

@@shogun2679 Not true, I had friends worked in Marfa Tx on set . Las Vegas, NM had major location shooting; Same summer There will be blood was shot mostly in west TX as well. The comment said they captured the FEEL of west TX perfectly . They did. Hollywood nearly never does.

top 3 for sure

Mikki Farmer totally agreed man , I’ve always called it Masterpiece since I saw it the amount of details blew my mind , today I’ve read it got elected as in the 10 best movie of the century and I agree as well . It’s brilliant

@@wezilla21 Love the SGP profile pic.

LOL only fanboys here. The plot is an unsubstantial basis for a film. The story has no moral to learn anything from. It's a pointless, forgettable film. I only remember the hairstyle. 6/10.

Mikki Farmer its not for everyone. Its one of my favs but it seems anyone i suggest it to hates it. They hate how slow it is, they hate the abrupt ending with lewelyn dying so unceremoniously.

Hes an underrated actor

@@Avi-tc2ym Super underrated

The whole book/movie is full of great dialogue. I’ve incorporated the phrase “hard bark” into my vernacular because it’s so great.

@@threeminuteshate In the book his dialogue between himself and Moss's wife is absolutely terrifying. Even more so than at the gas station with the clerk in the movie. It's as if he is truly the angel of death. She says all the right things to save her own life. He even goes as far to give her the opportunity for a coin flip. Which is brutal if you think about it. Truly leaving her mortality up to Fate, and it doesn't help her at all at the end.

It's 100% her fault. She called it wrong.

Ive seen it at least 20 times. It's one of my, "I feel like watching ____ again." I'm going to tell you how good this movie actually is. This never happened to me before or since: I had just found out my girlfriend at the time was cheating on me. In order to not turn into a real life "Anton Chigurh" myself, if you know what I mean.. I just left and went to go see a movie. The Movie I decided to go see was No Country for Old Men. The opening scene where he kills the deputy caught me by surprise. I knew at that point I was in for a ride of my life. When a movie is so good you literally temporarily forget that your girlfriend cheated on you.... This movie deserves the Academy Award for best picture that it won.

@@wadewilson8011 so true

I watched it last week for the first time & had to rewatch it again this week it was so good 👍🍿

@@RedFloyd469 Uhhhhh I'm a woman and enjoyed both the story and the style in which it was shot in immensely. What's your point?

@@RedFloyd469 @Red Floyd Are you assuming women can't enjoy or understand art produced by men? That's a pretty severe broad stroke of the brush, thought men didn't like that. Growing up I was addicted to the painstaking, meticulous process Martin Scorsese directed his films. They're still my favorites to this day.

@@RedFloyd469 i like it too.... Idk what is the relation between gender and movie-type that u like. The only relate with somebody's preference in movies is only their taste in movie and how much their exposure in different movie-genres. Sorry for my bad english

Most american girls are shallow creatures.. it's a shame. The way they are raised in this country is to be surface about things instead of deep.

@@devinmichaelroberts9954 Most humans in general are like that

diyconstruction Oh, but he does.

Yes he does.

He won an Oscar

Why does everyone say people don't get the credit they deserve? He gets the credit he deserves. You know, Chigurh wouldn't like someone saying that for no reason.

diyconstruction Javier great villain actor, great crazy, very scary.

Their original and distict answers to the interview are clear indicators of genius. Amazing intellect directed towards film. And we all lucked out big time.

@Fred Jaminson You get a clue from this interview but the real genius is in the secondary actors. I remember when seeing this film how captivated I was by some of the secondary performances, like Dillahunt's for example. He was just brilliant!

@@alexispapageorgiou72 Garret Dillahunt is one of my favorite actors. So talented and versatile. I used to follow his Facebook page, and he would get on there and exchange comments with the fans. Very humble. He said the fans are the most important thing because, without them, actors are nothing. He would comment multiple times about how much he appreciates us, and reply to various people's comments thanking them for their kind words.

@@MW-eb1qh That's f cool.

@Fred Jaminson The Ladykillers?

She was used to the less spoken men in Texas

Exactly, 100% correct.

Damn Rose.....Double Douche..*

the coen brothers told javier not to ask questions, not to create any backstory, because the guy is kind of like a force of nature, any backstory you give him will detract from the portrayal of him. he's written to be like a storm or the wind or the ocean - it has it's own mystery and power.

Rooting for the bad guys? I wanted the poor guy who found the loot to win.

There are so many 5 minute scenes from this movie that are my favorites of all time. Uncle ellis scene is one of them for me too. In the novel, ellis tells a much longer story and it is much different than the movie but i do think its one of the more compelling things in the novel that doest appear in the film. Its like everything they added/tweaked only improved an amazing story

Why? Not arguing. But I've seen a lot of Billy Wilder, Lubitsch, William Wyler...

There is a quiet tension created in that scene that can only be made by perfect writing, acting and directing. On the surface to uneducated minds the scene would appear even mundane, but as Mark Cruz says it is a perfect scene.

Eerily chilling and gripping with tension specially after seeing what he did to officer in the beginning.

Fog That scene is dumb

@@seanchristopher7364 Great critical appraisal have you thought of contacting the New York Times?

kris wilkinson yeah he's a very affable guy. I want to hang out and get drunk with him.

Off course he’s a gooni 😉👍

It’s so funny he chose to be Cable. I think it’s cast really well

His Instagram page is great; super smart, funny & surprisingly deep thinker

Like a funny looking guy in the general kind of way?

Chuck Rose always comes up short when the heart of the matter slips by his tiny intellect. He is worth less than zero in any art related subject. And he is a name dropper..well he was educated as a lawyer....so no surprise...very glad he is gone even though he has not been replaced. He could have died in Paris, but we were just not that lucky.

@@michaelcelani8325 he died and youre happy about it? You are a different kind of sick

Seems to be a bit of an over reach to suggest that interviewing the Cohen's was a once in a lifetime opportunity. Btw, sports fans, I don't condone sexual predation, nor do I think Rose's skill as an interviewer were beyond reproach. However, imo, I appreciated his program for its level of diverse content, including various art forms. While he couldn't be an expert in all areas discussed, I thought he was competent enough to propel the discussion along. You know, you're right. I should have just kept scrolling. My apologies.

My guess is that Benicio del Toro was busy. He would have been infinitely more menacing as Chigurh.

@@camc5483 disagree. Javier was perfectly frightening.

@@beckerickson8034 Not saying he wasn't. And he had the element of being a relative unknown to US audiences, which is always frightening. But, I can easily visualize Benicio del Toro in that role, and nailing it in every way. Just a "what if?" scenario.

@@camc5483 hell nah

Yes but what about what’s brilliant, forget about possible flaws. The brain power in those guys!

😂 so true 🤪🥰

Putting preference outside, not saying this because I have Spanish blood. Javier is better actor than most Hollywood fame actors. He proved it in No Country and Mar Adentro.

Im not spanish and i fully agree with you. He is amazing and im always excited to watch a movie with him​@@Tech-vn1jv

They were never in the same scene. Crazy, huh?

They will be in Dune

+MMinLamesa !: 100000% agree with everything you said. But what about Bardem? No words about him? ;-)

He went really liberal, took their money, then he wanted to go back to being conservative. You can't go back, you are owned, go ahead and try and they will attempt to destroy your character and bleed you of the money.

MMinLamesa ! Great all around cast.

Burn After Reading was a disappointment though

Clemmy Magee He didn’t rape anyone. He was sexually harassing women and making strong sexual advances. Not justifying anything and it’s still very messed up.

@@RedFloyd469 Well said!

Movie snob, gross

Lol I saw Javier on Conan to promote the movie. They showed the gas station scene and I had no clue what the movie was or what it was about lol. I bought the movie years later without ever seeing it, but yes the promotion did not deserve it well lol.

Same. I just now watched it for the first time in 2022. Got on a watch movies based in Texas kick this year. Watched it. One of the best movies ever

Saw it in theater back in 2007. And the marketing was terrible. It wasn't until after it had been out for a while that rumors started buzzing about how good this movie is. Also, the name of the movie kinda threw people off. It's what I call "The Shawshank Redemption treatment." Most movies you can assume context from the title at least. Movies like NCFOM, 300, and Shawshank Redemption are very obscure titles. They're not as alluring by name ALONE, as say films like: The Terminator, The Predator, The Ghost and The Darkness, or Halloween. However, despite its poor marketing, it still won the Oscar for best picture that year. That's a testament to how good a movie it actually is.

that's really funny

LMAO

Hell yeah

Lmfao 🤣

That lady was the only person to utterly defeat Anton. Cold as ice.

Javier was inspired by young Picasso hair cut. Picasso was a genious but many doctors are thinking now that have a kind of Psicopatology without empaty with women lovers.

Long time is relative to the speaker. Means different things to different people. One minute under water is a long time for most.

@@A10Cobra if you read a lot of books something you read 2yrs ago could seem like an eon. They say the average adult reads 12 books a year (I find this VERY difficult to believe & I feel that a small proportion are dragging that average up wildly) this means he could have read 15-20 other books since he read NCFOM, I'd say that that would make you say "a long time ago".

@@bensmith9253 Not to mention the hundreds of scripts he probably reads.

@@bensmith9253 well explained.

He wasn't really included in the conversation out of respect for his lack of fluent English. He can remember his lines in English (of course) but doesn't have the fluency to converse in rapid conversation.

Yes that was a big let down in this interview. The hair actually played a role in the film. But the topic was sadly never brought up.

@oisaveloy Drexl Spivey had some pretty scary hair on True Romance

Chigurt is a weird character so Barden wear a hair style never seen before.

the hairstyle really made him even scarier/creepy lol

Someone asked Bardem about his hair; some thought it was a wig. It was actually his own hair. Imagine walking around with that haircut!

Lmao why, 5 seconds before the crash his character murdered an innocent woman

Everyone was cutting him off. I think it's because he was talking slow.

Maybe because his English wasn’t that good

No, not quite. They left out my favorite sub-plot in the book: the teenage hitchhiker . . .

pretty sure they never did drugs or stopped early if thats the case they were born mid 50s do the math

He wanted to do a sex scene with Scarlet Witch. Can’t blame him

Creatotron Oldboy has a remake?? I can undrrstand why but.. Why!

Even Sam Goldwyn only made one good movie out of 6. Movie-making is not easy.

Awe the jock in goonies

isnt he in men in black 3 also?

Kirk Patrick you think so?

Hell or High Water did it's own thing, lots based off of the cinematic universe of No Country for Old Men but it was a refreshing western and definitely a great recent film.

Richard Anderson, Hell or High Water didn't win Best Picture. Moonlight won that year.

No. Sicario (even though it didn't win Best Picture, lol). Throw Wolf of Wall Street, Interstellar, and Inception in there too (non winners, on the level of No Country).

@@b.g.3073 Sicario starts out exceptionally but somewhere in the middle becomes a rather generic action/thriller. Wolf of Wall Street, Interstellar, and Inception are all good movies but they are strictly entertainment.

Argi Κ I agree 110%

Are you into serial killers?

@@hookoffthejab1 you need to watch more of his films, he plays more besides serial killers. He’s an actor, so he is going to play more then one type a character; that’s what actors who are chameleons do.

@@hookoffthejab1 do you know the word "actor"??

Exactly! Found this interview format just a couple of days ago and im impressed of questions, answers and atmosphere. Amazing! Greetings from Germany, Tommy ;)

It’s because the book was written by the best author of our time. He has multiple literary masterpieces including his magnum opus “blood meridian”, “all the pretty horses” “child of god”, “the crossing”, no country for old men, and “the road”…and so much more. His literature is like nothing else

@@saltyzu8412 blood meridian is the great american novel. no country is my number one. brought to mind a very old bergman film, "winter light" (crossing is my favorite of the novels) the very best author.

@@siamcharm7904 :: thank you siamcharm & Salty Zu for your endorsements……..I will begin reading since I now know of Cormac McCarthy.

Hundreds of times surely must be a slight exaggeration 😂

@Kennette Novak: There's an important sub-plot deleted from the book. So you may want to look into that . . .

I worked with Gene Jones in maybe 1990--it was a very odd experience seeing someone I knew possibly dying before my eyes.

Watch The tragedy of Macbeth by Joel Coen

pulak sardar “all time.”

me too

I can imagine Benicio del Toro as Anton Chigurh.

Well said.

I think after reading the book and watching the film, that Chigurh was a former special forces medic/sniper. Maybe not U.S. special forces, but Soviet perhaps. He knew Carson Wells' methods, who was a special forces Lt. Colonel and killed him. They also seemed to know each other. Moss was a sniper in Vietnam and Chigurh was also able to track him even after the tracking device was found.

Malice Wonder ikr ? When i heared the name, i thought he was Romenian, or someone from former yougoslavia or somewhat up there.

Schwab log in

This is the beauty of McCarthy. Chigurh was just one of those guys. I have met lots of people in my life. Was in the army for a while, there was a bodybuilder/security guard/MMA fighter. The guy dropped out because the training was too hard. There were other people that were just hard. I have met some odd characters in my life. Chigurh was just one of those hard guys. You may or may not have met someone like him, but you can imagine him, and he is terrifying. Like the Judge in Blood Meridian.

Bingo! The Judge, in Blood Meridian, who weaves in and around being human and then dissolving into other worldliness and all the while the inevitable awaits.... Look up Qoheleth in Ecclesiates 7:14.....the Blood Meridian progenitor....in my opinion...
