  • I do not own anything in this video, it is merely for entertainment purposes.
    I recently watched this movie and thought it was quite amazing and suspenseful. I really enjoyed this scene (among many others) but wasn't able to find an HD version with subtitles on CZcams, so I thought it would be nice to share it with the community.

    What's frightening about the scene is that Anton isn't even disappointed by the coin toss. Honestly, he seems more relieved and impressed by the guy's correct call. Truly exemplifies the idea that Chigurh sees himself as a force entirely dictated by fate.

    this scene is so good. it shows how psychotic Antoine is. The way he gets intensely serious and puts the guys life in to a coin toss, and then once the man wins he gets lighthearted. He goes from being willing to murder to being playful in an instant.

    • @kentinson1670
      @kentinson1670 Před rokem +100

      What's scary about Anton throughout the movie is he never quickens his pace. He takes his time and does everything in a slow and methodical manner.
      The fact that he was taking his time to chat and then decide whether he plans to kill the old man is really what puts you on edge.

      Since he is allowing fate to determine whether one deserves to live or not. The man picking the right side relinquishes the idea that he perhaps should die. The universe has told Anton that the man deserves the life he has chosen to live. In some way he may enjoy the idea of being proven wrong, a learning experience for an insane man. Also Anton himself would prefer not to succumb to death. He is sharing a strange kind of sympathy in knowing that the man has won his life. even if the old man is completely unaware of what he was about to lose.
