Nothing, he already won when he put the case in a metal box by the time Chigurgh was driving by.

Anton Chigurh is not real but a phantom created in the mind of Sheriff Bell. Llewelyn Moss is actually the one who committed all the crimes, and the film is the Sheriff's subjective retelling of events he can't comprehend. The story is ultimately about the Sheriff's own failure and his realization that he is an "old man" who no longer understands the world.
Peed on all the money so if the bad guys find the bag they'll small the pee and not want the money cause it's all gross and stinky
20 minute sex scene with his wife followed by a 30 minute sex scene
>>214363512Probably check the fucking bag. Even just quickly driving to a motel, dumping it all out, and then just taking a portion of it would be a solid idea. Just to count it and make sure nothing is sussy, then. >oh look a strange device fell out that is beeping Bingo, and just toss that shit. Oh, and not going back to give the guy water. Was beyond stupid. Would have been better to call the cops and have them sort it out from a payphone.

>>214364714>implying a girl will ride you for 30 minsvirgin detected
it's always implied that it's a bad idea to just stuff some of the monies in your pockets and leave the rest. assuming you aren't blinded by greed, why would that be a bad idea? wouldn't the Mexicans assume it was taken by a rival who was at the site? what are the chances some average Joe just walked by and took it? even if he did, it's easier to take that loss than if it had been seized by law enforcement.
>>214363512>What could have he done differently?Give the dying dude some water. Lou Ellen said he didn't have any, which was an obvious lie, since his bladder was full of piss.... which however yellow and contaminated with meth, would have been readily accepted by the hombre..... who turned out to be a magical Mexican Piss Leprechaun, and having accepted Lou Ellen's offering, would have given him a literal golden shower of riches. But Lou was too selfish to share his umami micturition, and so was cursed to be hunted by a lesbian librarian with a can of compressed air. Sad, many such cases.
>>214364073RF trackers were not new in the 70s, we used them during WW2
>>214363512CARLA JEAN SHOULD HAVE LIVED. That was fucking bullshit, Carla Jean was such a sweetheart and had nothing to do with the money. Sugar killing her was edgelord bullshit. I hope that broken bone Sugar got from the car accident at the very end gets infected and the fucker suffers a long agonizing death from gangrene!!!!!!!!!!!
>>214363512Been a better shot. If he had killed the deer cleanly, he never would have stumbled on the money. The moral of the story is do your job properly
>>214365048also should have had some agua on him so he wouldn't have been compelled to come back
>>214363512Took Carla Jean in the bedroom and screwed her brains out on a bed of cash.
>>214364073How did the tracker even help Anton find the bag? The receiver pulsed faster when he got closer to the tracker, and he found the town through phone records. That still doesn't explain how he found the exact street, building, room, etc of the town. He'd have to drive around town for literal days just to track down the neighborhood, then a few more days to ID the exact building. And if Llewelyn just went to a different town that he never made a phone call to, he'd never be found.
>>214365029it is ok we don't know if he killed her. just because he did in the books doesn't mean he did in the film
>>214363534>>214363512This or actually check the money
>>214365029In the book he gets his arm treated by a mob doctor and returns the money. The Coen bros just wanted le mysterious ending.
>>214365141>leaves>checks his shoe for blood which he always does right after killing someonecome on, this is like people who try and pretend tony soprano is alive even though the cinematography of the last scene directly implies he's shot in the head and killed
>>214365230maybe he thought he stepped on some bubble gum
>>214363512I can honestly and confidently say that if I went through the exact same experience that he did, up to the point of opening the satchel and realizing what's in it, I would close the satchel without taking a single bill, leave everything exactly where I found it, march straight back to my truck, drive home, and never breathe a single word of what I had seen that day to any other person as long as I live. And I definitely wouldn't be so stupid as to bring some Baja Blast with a churro and a chimichanga to the homie in the truck.
>>214365029>had nothing to do with the moneyshe was married to the retard that took a bag full of cash from a cartel killings scene. Also Sugar is a psychopath,do you expect compassion from a psychopath? moron
honestly its kinda ridiculous he would just take a huge amount of cartel money and not immedietly be fleeing away from the border that same night

>>214363512I would have took the bag and brought it home, then rummaging through the cash I would have found the tracker and then put the tracker back in the bag and leave the bag in some dumpster in a random alley and never mention this happened to anybody ever in my life, open any type of business and slowly launder the money and live a normal life.
>>214365230You are correct that the film strongly implies that she was killed, and it is reasonable to assume that she was, as the default assumption. But the film makes a point of not showing it. In the film, we (and you) are fully justified in assuming that she was killed. We are not, however, justified in claiming that we know it to a certainty, as far as the movie is concerned, and that's the difference. That is why the Wikipedia plot summary correctly remains silent on whether or not she was killed, only mentioning what is actually shown: Anton checking his boots (just as he moved his boots aside as Carson Wells' blood began to pool near his feet). Although having a dead body isn't an absolute requirement to prosecute (and convict) a murderer, it certainly helps. The film interpretaion equivalent of this is: you don't have to see a dead body to infer that a character has been killed, but if you want to state with certainty that fictional character X has been killed, you would like to see the dead body on screen, or at least hear some dialogue from a credible character that states that X was killed.Here is a very useful example which is part of this board's culture. I want to you to remember what Bane said to his henchman, when Bane's henchman came up to him and reported "Sir, we've killed the Batman!" What was Bane's reply, shortly before he wasted his useless henchman? "So, show me his body." The point of this reply is that Bane knows what he does not know. He knows that he cannot be absolutely, one hundred percent certain that the Batman is dead, without seeing his body. And that's the situation that we have with Carla Jean Moss. Do not reply to this post with a one-line "she was obviously killed fuck off nerd" or similar.
>>214364225>The villain wasn't a real person
>>214365614based anon has his priorities
>>214363512His biggest mistake was returning to give the guy water. If he didn't do that they would have had no clue who it was, and likely would not have been able to narrow their search enough for the tracker to be found, given that it has a limited range and battery life.
>>214365029>I’ll give you a 50% chance of living>NOOOOO I WANT A 0% CHANCE OF LIVING!!!Fuck are you talking about, she deserved to die.
>>214363512Give the man some agua. He was a pendejo.
>>214365127>He'd have to drive around town for literal days just to track down the neighborhoodNot at all.
>>214365355Probably not. Take the tracker away and how does he get caught?
i would simply have hot steamy sex with my dorky raccoon t-shirt wife
>>214365685There’s a reason it’s not shown. The film goes from being extremely graphic in showing deaths (police officer strangled, cow thing) to just implying them by the end of the film (hosing chickens out of truck, checking shoes for blood). It’s a style choice. But not everything that happens in a film’s plot needs to be shown for it to be true. Another example is the Joker at the end of the Dark Knight. Did he get locked up? Did he? We don’t see it, it’s just strongly implied. And that’s good enough.
>>214365952>40 years old at least>22 year old uneducated hick wife with no tatsThere’s still hope.
>>214365685To actually suggest she survived would contradict the entire established logic of the film up to that point, your wall of text and sick meme references notwithstanding. He promised Moss he would kill her, he wants her to call the coin flip so he can kill her and then he checks his shoes outside anyways when she refuses.His car crash in the film (presented as the character's final scene, differing from the novel) is framed as a direct result of him disregarding his own system and choosing to shoot Carla simply out of spite/convenience. He broke his own rules. When he no longer acts as an impartial agent of fate, he is broken over its wheel like everyone else. Carla dying is instrumental to the pottery at play here, appealing to a belief in free will and finding no mercy.

>>214365845>doesn't understand the honor in refusing to play a bullshit gameShe even calls out exactly why his gimmick is bullshit, and he knows it. Anton doesn't muster much of a response, he's not as dominant with her as he is with others: "Well, I got here the same way the coin did (random chance)." He doesn't toy with her and test her as he does most of his other encounters.

>>214363512Not waiting who knows how long to check the bag wouldn’t have hurt. All he had to do was get rid of the tracker before heading home.

>>214363512He could've walked away and pretended he didn't see shit after realizing he was way in over his head.
I legit would have loaded my body with as much cash as I could (pockets, inside underwear, around my ankles in my socks, etc). Then I would have sprinkled a few bills around to make it look like they money blew away. I would also put a few stacks of bills around the dead bodies to make it appear like some of the tried to grab the cash.Whoever finds the money would never suspect that the rest was stolen.
>>214364073I figure it didn't, giving how easy Anton Chirgurh found him, so it must have been a GPS tracker.

>>214363512probably put all the money in a different bag (discovering the sensor) and certainly not going back to give fucking water to a dead man
>>214367634>probably put all the money in a different bag (discovering the sensor)That wouldn't have enabled him to find the sensor. The sensor was inside a stack of wrapped bills. In the hotel room Moss picked up stacks and flipped through them until he found it.

>>214363512>>214363534Why do midwits always think his mistake was taking the money?

>>214365685she was obviously killed fuck off turd
>>214367916This is of course the correct take as the film portrays events, but given the organizations behind chigurh or whatever his name is they would have gone looking for the case in any...case.

i would havr realized there's a tracker in the suitcase with my power's of clairevoyance even though it was the 1980s when radios and tvs and satellites did not yet exist and the cowboys rode unicorns and dinosaurs wandered the desertical landscapes of el paso texas
>>214366768The irony here is that the woman character actually shows a bit of masculine virtue while your reply is feminine sniping. She didn't have a "zinger", a "zinger" is some retort of sarcasm or snark. She sincerely tells him why he's full of shit, and she refuses his game.The notion of "dignity", Anton's word, is interesting here, now that I think about it. Carson Wells, a man, bargains and pleads to be let go. His masculine rational front-brain knows he's fucked, but his instincts (lizard, feminine) demand that he try to survive any way he can. Anton assures him there's no way out. And yet the two gentlemen just sit there quietly, which allows the murder to be completed. A real woman would have screamed, screamed out for help. The fact that Carla Jean doesn't scream for help is also a sort of masculine trait. She basically tells him to go fuck himself and tells him to his face why he's full of shit, even knowing she's about to be killed. Manly. Carla Jean had more dignity.

What should Carson Wells have done differently? He seemed pretty confident at first about being able to get the better of Sugar, was it truly just fate that ended him?
>>214368419he should’ve known better than to challenge fate after missing the shot when he’s hunting

>>214364073>Didn't this movie take place in the 70's/80's?I think the film explicitly says it's 1980 2 or 3 times. it's one of the gun autism things because the book is also set in 1980, but the guy who wrote the book put in a bunch of guns from 1980s action movies that were invented in like 1982 or 1984

>>214369270Just use your remote control (everyone had those in the 80s) to block its. signal
>>214369371I think Chinese phones also do that. He could have got one, removed the ads (to be even more protected from tracking) and then used the IR to disable the device.

>>2143692851950s: First use of VHF telemetry. Wildlife biologists started using basic radio telemetry, initially with VHF radio tags, to track animals. However, these early systems had issues with reliability.1960s: Growing use for terrestrial animals. Following early developments, the use of radio telemetry on terrestrial animals expanded rapidly. In 1963, wildlife biologist William W. Cochran published work on a radio-tracking system for smaller woodland animals like rabbits and raccoons.1970s: Expansion to marine animals and satellite tracking. Satellite telemetry was first used in 1970 to track an elk, though the technology was still very large at the time. The Argos satellite system became available for civilian use in 1978, opening up long-range tracking for migratory species.1980s: PIT tags for fish and other small animals. Passive integrated transponder (PIT) tags were introduced in the mid-1980s for tracking fish and were later used for amphibians, reptiles, and birds.

>>214363512Break up the money into bundles, bury them separately and dump the case. That's what I'd do regardless of there being a tracker; particularly living in a trailer in a poor area. The last thing I'd want is to get robbed for everything because I splashed some cash around. Worst case is the radio transponder still works and word quickly spreads about a creepy Mexican stalking nearby towns, prompting Llewellyn to just keep his cool, live off the cash he has, and wait for the obvious cartel guy to leave before digging up the rest and skipping town to find a lawyer to handle the rest of the cash.
>>214363512disperse the money among his family and friends and have them cash in to the bank then they can start writing 'clean' checks.>its too much to divide upThen divide up enough that it wont raise suspicion.

He broke his own rules. When he no longer acts as an impartial agent of fate, he is broken over its wheel like everyone elseI disagree. I think the overall theme of the movie is mankind's hubris in regards to one's abilities, that there are things beyond our control that we should accept we can't change.Sheriff feels powerless over his inability to work as an enforcer of law in an increasingly violent world so he steps down (and does it just in time - it's suggested that his death in the line of duty wasn't too far). Llewelyn thinks he's better than the mob he stole money from and doesn't back off when he's given the chance (the visit in the hospital), so he pays the price. Chigurh probably sees himself as something more than a human, or at the very least he thinks he's adding some greater importance/meaning to life by following a set of rules and attempting to enforce others to live by them, yet the movie's ending clearly shows he's just as vulnerable to randomness of fate as the people he so casually judges. If the other anon's claims about the book (he gets fixed and gives the money back) are true, then it might be interpreted that he realised his reach exceeded his grasp and even though his realisation came later than Sheriffs, he at least didn't suffer the same fate Llewelyn did

I honestly can't stand most of the Coen brothers' movies because they are too long and their stories are always about some boring criminals or other nonsense. That being said this is one of the best movies ever made, there isn't even a single second of film wasted on useless shit. No shitty soundtrack to tell you how to feel, perfect pacing, sparse action scenes but impactful. I can go on all day but I'm sure others have done dissertations before me already.
>>214365284>opens the satchel>proceeds to act like the fuckin virgin marypendejo you are like those bitches who fuck another guy and when you find out they say "it was only sex I didn't love him like I love you"you are cartel execution video material maricon

>>214375258oh noes poor bunnyseems like we have a miscommunication thoughCGI=computer generated imageryit wasn't a real crow, although even if it were, it flew away unharmed as the bullet hit the railingbut it was a really sloppy artificial crow and it looks really really bad, like early 90s tiercan't believe they left it like that for the bluray
>scan with metal detector>find the tracker>put it on some cab driver/stranger call>have sex with cute wife>end of storyIt was so simple.
>>214370730it would have been safe to assume a bag full of money near the aftermath of a cartel shootout would be looked for
>>214375303
>>214364073You don't need to know what it is to understand it's not something you should keep
>>214375320I meant the scene, not the CGI. One is evocative of the other: the big baddie trying to kill cute critters.
>>214375329but that anon is rightthey would have found him using the tracker if he didn't flee... and he fled because he went on his agua adventure
>>214370136Thank you, chat gpt. This is none of that by the way. It's a "transponder" this is not a vhf tag. You can't track that tracking device (transponder) with a singular device like the killer did here. They had at least 3 things around their target to triangulate it, brainlet I accept your concession
>>214375390I like crows but wouldn't call them "cute"also I doubt his motives were the same as the biker guys'
>>214373488This isn't a radio tracker. And radio trackers needed at least three separate device around the tracker to track. Not like this transponder with just one device to see where this transponder is.Kill yourself, zoomer
>>214370063It does not, keep seething though
>>214375419>You can't track that tracking device (transponder) with a singular device like the killer did here. They had at least 3 things around their target to triangulate it, brainletNTA but to measure distance, not position, it's enough to have one "thing"
>>214374422Still not what this movie used. Keep trying.
>>214375464NTA. Yeah, he would've never found him by just knowing the distance then. Watch the movie.
>>214375482>doesn't know what radio shack islol zoomer tard
>>214375530>doesn't know that he's still in the wrongkek, zoomer
>>214375503then how do you think he found him? watch the movie.
>>214363512He could've ran and hid in a country for middle aged men then after things cooled down move to a country for young women.
>>2143635121. He should have put the money in a different bag2. Not walk around with all of the money all of the time (who even does that)3. Not gone back to deliver the water. The theme of the movie is that good guys get softer with age which makes them eventually fall to bad guys.
>>214363512not being a thief and having hot passionate sex with his cute loyal wife
Even without the tracker, going back with the water fucked him. You don't need a tracking device to find people. It'd just take longer, right?
>>214376148Once they had his identity from his vehicle plate and VIN, he was fucked. They can just find his unsuspecting family and it's all over. A tracking device isn't even necessary. Anton found his wife really easily.
>>214364073well if he saw it he would know about it, kind of like how when he sees it in the movie he knows about it. hope that helps.
>>214364751And I'd also check if the bills are fake. The MC of NCFOM is dumber than a box of rocks.

>>214373517>get flustered>accidentally pick tailsFuggg...
>>214369270the transponder is low-range and basically useless in a city. It's not your typical almighty sci-fi transponder, Cormac actually did some basic research concerning radiolocation and such devices are around ever since we had small, portable radios>>214364225>Chigurh is not a real personall the villains in Cormac's novels are real, comically evil characters on the verge of being a supernatural beings yet explainable as just extremely intelligent are his main flick
>>214363512I would have simply shot the Mexicans and Chigurh and won.
>>214365127Anton already knows Llewellyn is trailor trash after getting the VIN # from his truck. The first thing he'd do when getting into town is drive by every hotel. Its a small town so there probably aren't too many hotels, and given that Chigurh is a professional hitman it wouldn't be unreasonable that he could make an educated guess as to the kind of hotels Llewellyn would look for (cheap, close to other people, etc).
>>214368221>muh virtue>muh honor>muh zinger>muh masculinity>muh dignityTook borrow from Sugar, if her honor reduced her chance of living from 50% to 0%, of what use was it?
>>214375449>This isn't a radio tracker.lmao, it literally isand it doesn't even matter if it wasn't one because every 8 year old in 1980 would understand what a cartoon level beacon with a light flashing in a bag full of money is doingyou're so underaged that you cannot even grasp these basic concepts
The tracker never mattered. It just made it so Anton had to do less work. The mexicans found llewelyn and killed him, and Anton found the satchel there.
>>214376746"What its worth" is up for you to decide. No one lives forever.
>>214363512>get a bank deposit box>dump all the cash in it>withdraw it slowly over timeEZ. What's Anton Nigurh going to do, rob the bank?
>>214364564Once you've travelled with the tracker and abandoned it at a location like a motel it's just a matter of time until you're found. Someone would've seen you and your car. A CCTV camera somewhere might have caught your face or your number plate.The only time you can take the money without the transponder is right when and where you found it, and even then you better hope that no-one saw you in the vicinity.
>>214375449radio trackers need three separate devices to triangulate the signal, niggera singular device is enough to track the signal, it's just not possible to know how far away it isactually two devices is more than enough to triangulate a device in 99% of cases with the exception of the device being between the receivers in which case you won't know how far away it is
>>214363512Check all the bills.
>>214376771the mexicans also had a tracker, making a receiver capable of searching for one particular frequency is basically 1920's techit can also be assumed that they've went thorugh more-or-less the same kind of thought process as Chigurh, look for the closest airport and look around for a cocky, overspending fuck
>>214364778>FippybippyWhy are you gay?
Reminder the Llewellyn met his wife when she was underage and he groomed her.
>>214363512Use his epic space glove to make Chigurh punch himself in the nuts for the rest of his life.
>>214377057>are you having sex with that 25 year old woman she is a LITERAL CHILD

>>214370678>never be heard from or seen againhow do you do this though? How do you suddenly just take this money and then magically disappear off the grid? who would you even go to that wouldn't either 1. sell you out to the police or 2. kill you for your money? I've always wondered what the actual mechanics of "disappearing" are and if it's even possible.
Would he have been found if he hadn't gone back to give that Mexican Mtn Dew Baja Blast?
>>214368095one explosive please
>>214376148yeah the fact they were able to ID his truck was a much bigger deal than the one scene where the tracker mattered
>>214377755Why did a pedo (fact) care about a dying dirty mexican?
don't throw the tracker away, use it to ambush Anton
>>214377155yuros invented trannies, faggot >>214377179gms!
>>214377179>why do whites like shitting in diapers so much?It's the symbolism of the smelly brown poo ruining the pristine white environment of the unsoiled nappy.
>>214377775Llewellyn literally tries that and barely gets away alive.
>>214377825he almost killed Chigurh there, if he pursued him he'd be able to finish him off

They might not bother or they might send someone capable. They also might be in bed with some spooks or dirty cops so that means they might have law enforcement resources to use. Whoever "they" are they just lost a bunch of people in a massive shootout so they'll have other shit to worry about and damage control basically.

Went to London, Cornwall, Edinburgh, and Newcastle, and saw quite nice looking women everywhere. Honestly didn't see that many nonwhites either, even in London, but maybe their numbers have increased since. I quite liked the UK, but wasn't able to get lucky with any of the Bong lasses. God this pale, pale, long dark-haired waitress in Newcastle was so attractive. Served my friend and I some filet-mignon pies, fucking delicious, they were basically beef bourguignon pies, fucking sooo good. Beef bourguignon is maybe my favorite dish of all time. What are some other French culinary masterpieces, Gaul-bro?
>>214367826But the whole book is the sheriff lamenting the past and simpler times when sheriffs were largely just friendly social visits to their county inhabitants
>>214381234To be honest being french it's almost hard to instinctively think of specific french dishes, I find that what makes french cooking so good is the same thing that makes half life good, it sets the standard of excellence without actually being that unique past a certain point because everyone else copies it afterwards. I would say for distinctly french things>beef bourguignon for sure>bouillabaisse (southern french fish stew)>ratatouille>aioli>quiche (any region but breton-style quiches are the personal best due to personal heritage bias)>unironically snailsbut the again the thing with french cooking, outside of certain unique regional dishes, is simply that it's european cooking but to the highest standard historically speaking. nowadays though you'll find quality cooking of that standard in most western nations thanks to globalisation and standardisation.

>>214381611Central london is something else though, it's a real melting pot there, but that's also including tourists. Most of northern england (outside of bradford/north yorkshire), wales, etc is a borderline ethnostate with how un-diverse it is, it's actually one of the running jokes about going to university in the north of england. It's definitely gotten worse in London though. However, there's one big new thing in London - australians. Fuckloads of them have started moving in, particularly to my neighbourhood, and they're all absurdly good looking, all absurdly physically fit, running all the time, it's great. Sadly I'm now in a long term relationship with ambition to one day marry so I'll never know what an aussie girl is really like

>>214383250I can't give out no (Yous)
Realistically in that kind of situation where two sides in some deal fucked each other over and lost (presumably) valuable men, they will have other shit to worry about for a bit.Both sides at that exchange likely had a key operative at the exchange, that is now dead.Both sides left massive amounts of evidence out in the open which needs to be handled (if the cops show up eventually they'll investigate thoroughly since that's a lot of bodies in one location so hard to keep it under the radar and news).So basically both sides would be in crisis mode AND feuding with each other AND scrambling for damage control.A bag of money will be the least of their concerns, since any evidence inadvertently left behind will mean the law will be on them momentarily.Not to mention that even if their cleanup crews reach the site first they will likely blame the other side for swiping the money, not some rando stumbling onto the site.

>>214383327This all makes perfect sense up until the point where you remember he goes back to the shootout scene to give the guy water, which is where he gets spotted and causes the rest of the movie to happen, because despite the chaos you describe, if they visually confirm and see who left with the money, then it's no problem to send just one serial killing assassin terminator dude after him while you sort your own shit out. if he hadn't gone back he would've gotten away with it.
>>214383489in retrospect you'd think that while spending hours guiltily thinking about that guy before going back he'd also remember he's a fucking cartel murderer and was there for a reason
