Hey everyone! I managed to edit this video before my surgery, so might as well release it now. As mentioned in my update posts, there probably won't be any videos in January while I'm recovering, so don't expect anything else after this. Hope you all enjoy my reaction to this film! Don't know what movie I'll do next though...

Your channel is wildly underrated, one of the best reactions ive seen my entire life

An interesting fact about the movie is that the original author of the book Cormac Maccarthy (RIP legend) wrote the story as a screenplay in the 80s and later in 2000s wrote the novel version which then was adapted to film by the Coen brothers. That's why the story works so well as a movie (not undermining the beautiful work of Coens and the rest of the crew). I highly recommend to check out other stories written by Maccarthy. Great reaction/discussion btw!

I don't know why, but the gas station scene has always stuck with me. Definitely one of my favourite scenes in any film.

Matt, I enjoy your admiration of the composition of so may shots in this incredible film :)

yes "hunter and hunted" is a theme, as is Pride (Lew) and Humility (Sheriff) - the latter knew he was outmatched and retired - admitted he was not able to match "Sugar", ignored his ego and lived a long life in retirment. Lew - well the opposite.

What an incredible film. No OST, just pure tension, phenomenal acting, and directing. Recently a group of psychologists stated that they believe Anton is the most realistic depiction of a sociopath put to film.

Llewellyn wasnt put into chigurs psychosphere because he took the money, but because he showed mercy by going back to give the wounded man water. Thats kind of the crux of the whole story. Anton has shed all mercy and humanity. The old ways will not hold against him.

The perfect "horror"-movie for the October-movie-reaction... Wait what? I've anticipated this reaction so much. The cosmic-irony and the fate of events are one of the core essences of the Coen brothers. It's also always so fun to watch when the story turns out to have such unexpected events and jarring abstract ideas, although I sometimes think that it also can be a disadvantage. The end of the movie left me somewhat 'negatively' perplexed when I watched this film years prior; but it was fun to hear your thoughts and opinions of the film. I hope that you will react to Fargo some time in the far future: The movie from the Coens and the series by Noah Hawley, which captures the spirit of the Coens.

Great recognition and appreciation for this!!! Highly recommend "Hell or High Water" for another great Texas crime story with Jeff Bridges as a west Texas sheriff!!!

😮How about FARGO.. by the same creators of this movie. and then you should react to FARGO the tv series. best wishes for a speedy recovery. 🙏

9:04 And Jesse Pinkman's mom, from Breaking Bad!

I DIDN'T EXPECT THIS!?

Great reaction. I think the story impacted you in a way that you should use it as you introduction to Cormac McCarthy’s writing.

This is one of the few movies I've actually lost sleep over. I just couldn't stop thinking about it, and the more I came to understand what it was saying the more fascinating it was to me. I love talking about No Country for Old Men. It's a brilliant story. I've read most of Cormac McCarthy's books and if you ask me most days he's my favorite author - and this is coming from someone who reads Tolstoy and Faulkner.

Absolutely great reaction. A well paced and reasoned response to the movie. A couple of more viewings would definitely allow you to pick up on additional content in both dialogue and action.

Just watched the movie AND YOU REACTED TO IT!?!? Holy fuck lessgooo

What a great movie. One of my favorites. Thanks for your reaction.

utterly off topic, but I assume folks named "Lew" are named via "Leywlen" (sp - dylexic sorry) - there were at least 2 generations of Welsh kings by that name that had power enough to remain independant from England - around 1200 AD. Edward the first ended Welsh independance by killing Welsh king "lew" (1st?2nd or 3rd? not sure which) - he then captured his kids (princes) - blinded them and let them live in dungeons/jailcells until they died of "old age". just some history - not here nor there per his movie.

🔥🔥🔥👏

12 min mark - ya one thing leads to another, but "Lew" is offered 2 chances to do the right thing. 1. when he finds the gut shot mex guy - the right thing is to call the police, not take the money 2. later "sugar" gives him the chance to sacrifice his life for his girlfriend - but out of pride and inflated sense of ability to take "sugar" on/out - rejects the offer - and so both end up dying. so "lew" had 2 chances, the 1st one was a no brainer - anyone that value life over money would take it - "lew" does not, that shows much about his character/lack of..... Coen Bros movies are all excellent - this one is their 3rd best, Fargo is their best, their first movie - now utterly forgotten sadly - is their second best "Blood Simple" - its a darker version of Fargo Fargo is "Dark Humor", Blood Simple is Black (Blackhole even!) Humor. 2-cents.

Great reaction (and of course a great discussion) to a great movie!

Great reaction and discussion of a great movie. Honestly, it has been a very pleasant unexpected surprise. I hope you get well very soon. PS: In 14:23 you mention that you have seen that shot. If you've seen the opening of Chainsaw Man, you've seen it when it shows the Violence Fiend.
