Did you know this movie was adapted from a book? See how this intense scene plays out with a building of dialogue and character interaction. Chigurh draws his victim in, then lets a coin toss decide his fate.

@Sovereign I don't see it quite the way you do. Throughout the whole movie, all he's been doing is killing people. Who had he spared? so yeah, it was never stated he would kill the store owner. But if I remember the ending of the movie, he did a coin toss with the woman. She lost and died. So, we can naturally imply that would have been the result with the store owner in the earlier part of the movie. Can you see what I'm saying? Here is the woman's coin toss. kzfaq.info/get/bejne/eLyJlMxnyK2WaI0.html So anyway. I disagree with your conclusion. The killer was crazy. But there was always a method to his madness. He wouldn't suddenly do something different with the store owner when he's been doing other consistent things throughout the whole story.

@@Redrum-707 i dont think that was chiggurs plan. Chiggur only hands people a coin if they have a slighted him, not if they are an obstacle. Obstacles to him are removed, the cashier just annoyed him and put himself in his crosshairs by asking too many questions. He absolutely would have killed the cashier if he didnt get heads. Do you remember the accountant? He asked "Do you see me" with a smile. The accountant avoided his crosshairs by avoiding stupid questions, hence chiggur didn't really notice him.

That last "which it is" line. Yo... It's SO layered, probably one of the best dialog closers ever... Chigurh basically did all that with the appearance of importance because the cashier's life was on the line. And with that line, he just undermines the coins/cashiers value like their entire dialogue didn't even matter. His life was just another coin amongst other coins. Which confirms that had it been heads down, he would have killed the cashier. And it wouldn't have bothered him at all. Talk about facing true evil.

Anton Chigurh alleviates any guilt he feels by putting it up to fate. He believes, in a sense, that he is the very hand of fate, which is why he insists the cashier calls the coin toss. As an instrument of “fate” he believes he should only execute it, not hold sway over it.

I was so confused by this movie when I was younger but now that in older it makes so much sense. Chigurh sees himself as an angel of fate, heads or tails, it determines weather you die or not. It's the same thing he did to (I forgot the main character cowboy guys name) wife. She refused to play so refusal to play his game means your fate is death.

I think Chigur is actually very pleased (relieved) that the old timer called right. As the conversation and tension progresses, I think Chigur actually has some pity (if possible) for the old timer, and sort of regrets putting the man to a toss, but has to see it through (otherwise it wouldn't be fair) to satisfy himself. This is perhaps one of the greatest 'close calls' with a villian ever filmed.

@Reunite The British Empire exactly, the old man accepts his fate and calls it. He accepts his judgement and his destiny, and in a way he is saved by that. Which is in contrast to Thano's wife at the end of the film, who refuses to accept that same judgement (a call at a coin toss), and suffers by it. In both cases Chigurh sees himself as an instrument of deliverance of that justice. Or something.

I get your take. I think he would be fine with it either way. The way he sees it, its just. The coin makes the decision not him. If the coin says heads then he should be pitied, a worthless peasant able to finish out his life. If its tails, he should be despised for his weakness, a waste, and removed from the earth. Chigur sees understands this, that he is both, and the coin simply dictates the action to be taken. So it doesn't matter either way. There's always a reason to kill him and there's always a reason to spare him. So the coin will sort it out.

I have always loved the cashew wrapper's tiny plastic scratching sound on the counter-top. The way it cuts and accentuates the tension is brilliant, and yet in the script the phrase 'slowly unkink' is a brilliance on its own. True masters of the craft.

Giving him a racist side of him detracts from the sheer terror of his philosophy and it doesn't fit, since to him the coin toss is all that really matters. Racism is a familiar thing, it detracts from a villain and it would have given him an explainable reason for his madness.

4:11 this part is so special, because the coin was somewhat a lifechanger for the poor guy, but he didnt know about it, and the reframing "which it is" togehter with the look, is a really deep closing of the scene. Never seen such a brilliant acting and script before in such a random, but meaningful scene.

Also, it's a life changer for the clerk but for Chigurh, it really wasn't. The guy life could have ended because of that quarter but if Chigurh killed him, it would have been nothing more than a typical Tuesday for him.

He said, Chigurh's moral compass couldn't abide by that notion. From an acting standpoint, that's an UNREAL way to find motivation for a scene. 🤯🤯🤯
