The interesting thing about the chaser in this story, is that he is not your run of the mill sheriff, like in similar movies. No, the antagonist is a serial killer in search of the money that Llewellyn possesses. This gives a classic story a twistOne specific scene that stood out to me was when the sheriff and Chigurh sat in the same spot in front of the TV. When Chigurh is on the couch, you can see his reflection through the television, and then later the same thing happens, but with the Sheriff. He says, "He's seen the same things I've seen" This had an impact because they both literally had seen the same things. It set the scene for the wild chase that was bound to come.
Are there any scenes that specifically stood out to you?
One scene that really stood out to me was the last scene when Chigurh was with Carla-Jean. this stood out to me the most because it seemed like Chigurh actually started to feel bad for killing her. When she said "You don't have to do this you know." Chigurh seems to actually think about not killing her. Maybe he decided to kill her so she didn't have to suffer anymore or maybe he decided to kill her because it was his job. You couldn't truly tell.
ReplyDeleteYou make some amazing points. My favorite scene in the movie had to be the gas station scene. The mise en scene was interesting to me when the cables in the background look like neuses and here we think that the antagonist Chigurh is going to kill this man. There is a lot of suspense and interesting actions that occur whilst this interaction is occurring. This is also an interesting scene because it made me question why Chigurh didn't kill this man.
