(29/05/2020): 2008 to 2020. 12 years until reaching this film. But long than that wait was watched until the end! What a dense film! Ghastly! And at the same time well run by brothers Ethan Coen and Joel Coen.
Any doubt that easy money brings misery in every way?
What stands out the most is Anton Chigurh as an Iconic Villain. Javier Bardem did not receive an Oscar for his performance. Loaded with coldness, however, with an expressive look. The actor manages to thicken with a look: contempt, irritation, supposed superiority, madness.
In a blog post, the villain was defined as a combination of three characteristics: a machine (proposed), or psychopathic (without feeling), a force of nature (symbol / dehumanized). In all films, the composition of the villain is made from this mixture.
The villain here is far from being a human being, hardly anyone can identify with him. Inhuman! It is a representation of the invitality of death. Nobody can escape it.
Another detail, or you state in all films: no one is reading this book. Not even him.
When he suffers a traffic accident and hobbles (he didn't know) from the accident
To get a message from Cherife Ed (Tommy Lee Jones):
Retire by not understanding the brutality of the modern world
It is a film loaded with layers and different themes. Money is just a forgettable backdrop.
