I honestly dont know

Thanks

he was just thirsty

It was all a metaphor

It's a meditation on the hostility of the world to our attempts to eke out a meaningful existence.

Finally a good answer. Thank you

the main character in story is actually Tommy lee jones. Thats why he gets the last word and the first word. His horror and bemusement at the savagery around him is the main story. Thats why he talks to the old crippled guy who tells him the place was always fuckin savage and brutal. Thats why its good he retired, cos its no country for old men.

also javier bardem killed josh brolin and his wife. The car crash scene is just a random thing that shows life is brutal even when theres no malice involved

its just sorta symbolic.. Anton represents the violence that always follows greed. He's just this untouchable guy who always goes for that briefcase. Lewellen or w/e his name is can at least hurt him since he wants the money for honest purposes... and its the mexicans not anton who kills him. Two important things happen at the end when the kids help him after the car crash. HE gives THEM money for their good deed and then talls them "you didnt see me, i was already gone" seeing Anton is a major motif of the novel... only the greedy bad people ever see him... in fact if you watch closely Lewellin never actually sees Anton the whole movie and theres way more shit but im tired of typing

He fulfills his promise llewyn to kill his wife. Then goes on to collect the briefcase. The sheriff retires knowing that crime is growing out of control and he is too old now to try to fight it.

Thanks. That ending made me feel like i wasted 2 hours of my life but now i get it

So the older police man realized that him thinking that this killer was a new type of crime was just vanity.

He realized that it has always been that way from the beginning of time. People always act the way they act. It's just a new type of cat an mouse.

It's all about the sheriff's realization that times are not changing, things have always been that fucked up. His age and his experiences blinded him to it. He calls it vanity. But the movie tries to present it as a view of human nature.

Listen to the conversation again. Why he chose to go into the hotel alone that night. He was afraid, thought he needed backup. But he still went it. Even at his age. Even as he was about to retire.

That's what I for from it anyway.

it was more or less that despite the sheriff feeling "overmatched" and like the country was now a special kind of lawless, he was wrong and that the west had always been violent and a young lawman's territory. The ending dream was symbolic that the old man sheriff's dad before him had felt the same way and set a fire for the sheriff to head to so that the next generation could attempt to tame the lawless frontier the very same way he had (and failed) to do

Nope. The lady in the office at the trailer parks sees anton. He threatens her and she stands up to him. She isn't greedy or bad.

Yeah Anton wasn't a symbol of greed so much as the hand of death/fate and how in a lawless place like that, it can and will come for anybody, This is exemplified with the gas station guy, Anton more or less states that the incidental chances all the way up until that point led the gas station owner to that exact moment and that he could not escape fate if it determined he should die

>She isn't greedy or bad.

He was going to kill her but she wasn't alone. Some dude came out of the bathroom saving her.

So what your saying is... you are a idiot?

My thinking is he went to all that time and trouble to get the money .he can't put it in a bank,or leave it safe some place. So it had to be in the trunk of the car. After the wreck he had to abandon it. So everything he did was a waste,crime doesn't pay in the end. Same for Whitey bulger, and Hillary Clinton she stole billion dollars from the Haitian disaster relief. And will be indicted,in the end.

>Same for Whitey bulger,

Bulger didn't get arrested until he was in his 70's. He ended badly but for most of his live he got away with it.

You are a moron.

The entire movie was told from the POV of the sheriff as a recollection. What happens to Anton in the end is just what the Sheriff knows before retiring.

I'll give you what I think is the deeper meaning... When you are young, you accept the way things are because that's the way you feel that it has always been, and that is normal to you. Age a little, new shit comes that make little sense, but you can compartmentalize it and adapt as best you can. When you get even older you start thinking WTF with more than half the shit going on and you just have to stop caring. If you are a Sheriff and don't care, you're done.

Yep. It's kinda a life metaphor. Getting old ain't for sissies, etc.
