The film's shots, cinematography and editing are all flawless. Every shot and transition are all seamless. For example; in the earlier part in the film, Moss is out hunting and he sees an injured dog. The camera cuts to the long shot of four or five pickup trucks with open doors and no people and then to Moss at the scene with the dead people.
Next, he walks along the tire tracks and the viewer can barely see through the tall grass where the film cuts to Moss finding a tree where he believes the man with the money would've stopped. It doesn't waste time to cut to him at the tree, standing over a dead man. From there he is instantly at his car, instantly home, and instantly inside talking to his wife. Not a second is wasted.
I like how although the film feels long with the lack of music and long plot, there is nothing in the movie that doesn't serve a purpose. What was your favorite scene in the movie and what specific types of editing made you like it?
You 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.
