Like the scene when Anton was walking down the motel barefoot. Every step he took gave such n unsettling feeling. By the way he looked and not knowing which room Llewelyn took, you thought he was going to bust down Llewelyn's door and kill him. Even though you saw the killer, you were still shaken up. You knew how murderous and emotionless Anton was. And you knew everywhere he went there would be a death.
Throughout the movie we see how inhumane Anton is. Especially when he cares so little about human life. Especially when he uses the captive bolt pistol normally used to kill animals. Although you see multiple times Anton bring out a coin to decide whether one dies or not. In the scene where he is in the gas station talking about how that one coin that saved the man's life is valuable, Anton seems to care for the life of someone else. He is playing with fate. But is he hoping that fate lets the man live? Or he just playing games?
Good point! I think Anton is just playing with fate. He kills people with no second thought however he gives few a second chance to survive. He kills people whenever he feels the need to whether they are disrupting his plan or just interfering with his life. But people that don't have a direct effect he gives an option of the coin. Therefore, he plays with their fate with such a simple little object of chance; the coin.
ReplyDeleteI really like how you compared No Country to The Shining and Psycho and how even though it isn't classified as a horror movie, it has the ability to terrify people in ways that those two horror movies can't. I agree that Chigurh is playing with fate; for some of his kills he leaves the decision up to the coin, up to fate, and since he doesn't really care about the lives of these people, I think he is just playing games with their lives. The coin is just the method that he uses to create the chance.
