>mostly just terrorizes rural, simple, trusting people by sneaking up>first real combat with rusty former army guy he gets badly wounded and run off>mooks have to clean up after him>big moment is killing a defenseless woman to feel like a big shotIs this guy the worst villain?
My favorite part was when he checked it.
>>217202484Yeah he's pretty much all hype and that's it. He acts creepy when he has the upper-hand like when his opponent is weak and defenseless or he can take them by surprise but like you said he gets fucked up when actually challengedHilarious that his job is done by some random off-screen Mexicans who succeed in five minutes in doing what he couldn't do the whole movieMcCarthy did not pull off making two legendary villains. He got the Judge, who earns his reputation, but not Chigur or however the fuck you spell his name.
>>217202523Also Bardem's performance carried the fuck out of that role and which would not have worked with a lesser actor.
>>217202484>gets him in a headlock>what now, huh? tap out, man. tap out.
>>217202484>can't even talk down a fat white woman
>>217202484it's the psychotic edginess, not the effectiveness.just like carson said>do you know how crazy you are?Carson might have legitimately been a better killer, but we will never know, because sassy hair just happened to know he was there already. might have just been watching the hospital the entire day and watched him enter and leave.
>>217202568Agreed, he fucking ate that role up and elevated the character way beyond it deserved, absolutely iconicKind of annoying he got all the mainstream recognition for this overrated role though instead of something truly great like in Biutiful which is one of the best serious perforfmances I've ever seen from an actor in my lifebut that's just me being an arthouse fag i guess
>>217202484>a person who've just betrayed his employers to steal their money is apalled that someone married into someone's business
>>217202568/thread
>>217202484Anton's last scene being him breaking his arm in a car accident makes it seem as though him not living up to his own hype was kind of the point.
It's finally happened. The shounenspics have colonized /tv/ to debate powerlevels. It is actually fucking over.
>>217202786Cry harder
>>217202753>BiutifulNever heard of that one, thanks for the rec
>>217202769McCarthy likes to make all of his characters looks pathetic and weak at some point, but yeah maybe your interpretation is right
>>217202829Warning, it's slow and depressing as fuck and not something I'd watch for entertainment purposes but if you want an S-tier "greatest of all time" level perfromance this is what you wnat to see, it's what really showed me what Bardem can do in a serious non-meme role (before this all I saw him in was No Country and Skyfall)Maybe it's him acting in his native Spanish that makes it feel more real too
>>217202870Sounds right up my alley
>>217202484>cant even intimidate a fat white woman>scared off by the sound of a flushing toilethe was jeet coded
>>217203053>call it please saar
>>217202484He killed Marty from True Detective too, right? He was supposed to be a badass.
>>217202840Is that Judge guy everyone's hyped about ever shown as pathetic and weak? Serious question, I don't read books.
>>217203168No, he's scary and creepy and fucked up in every scene, but he's also basically not even human, he comes across more as a supernatural/demonic entity in some ways that just happens to be put in the middle of a hyper-realistic western
>>217203053She wasn't fat she was just soft and huggable
>>217203205Thanks. I wonder if they ever will get that movie adaptation off the ground.
>>217203168The only time I remember him showing any weakness at all is when the gang got separated and he was stuck in the desert on his own for days, being sunburned and dehydrated and that (though it wasn't as bad as it probably should have been for a normal person) when he reappears and having to begrudgingly pay an inflated price for a hat.
>>217202753I’m stupid and it took your image to realize Bardem played Chigurh and Stilgar. Damn that’s a good actor.But yeah as others are saying the point of Anton is that he’s a psychopath that bought into his own hype. He’s not some badass unstoppable force of nature he’s just a guy that has no hesitation in murder. Like yeah of course he’s plowing through people because the average person doesn’t expect to get murdered by some freak with a bad haircut.
He's not supposed to be a supervillain, he's supposed to be an amoral psychopath.
>>217202484Once you figure out he’s just a split personality of Sherriff Bell the story makes a lot more sense
>>217202484Ignoring the fact that you're arguing with a perception of the character in your head that's irrelevant to the actual character, he barged into a room and gunned down two armed cartel members plus the one in the shower that was too afraid to come out and fight him. He also injured Llewelyn during their gun fight and clearly wasn't afraid of confronting him again in the future.
>>217202786Do you think Anton Chigurh could defeat Frieza?
>>217203715Not in his golden form.
>>217203439Uh... what? Can you elaborate on this?I've never heard this interpretation and it doesn't make much sense to me.
>>217203763What if Chigurh did a million coin tosses in the hyperbolic time chamber?
>>217203168The Judge is not human.
>>217203819I heard Anton becomes a giant ape if the coin lands on the edge.
>>217203715If he gets close enough for the shotty then almost certainly.
>>217202758betraying your employers is aryan behavior
>>217202505you literally couldn’t have been further off from dubs if you tried
>>217202484>big moment is killing a defenseless woman to feel like a big shotAbsolutely not. Bardem gives this character multiple great moments. My two favorite are "call it" and his pharmacy heist. The way how he robotically limps accross the counter and just clears the place out is The Terminator levels of cinema history.
I know that this is a Cormac McCarthy novel first and foremostBut it's jarring to me that the Coens also did this in other movies they wrote themselves, making absolutely inhuman and monstrous characters and then making them oddly ineffectual and patheticWas it just a coencidence?
>>217202505watch this anton
>>217206655(You)
>>217206655
>>217202484He's an assassin not a soldier. His whole profession is in not playing fair and being a weird sneaky fucker.
>>217202484he easily wipes out a room full of armed sicarios
>>217206655fuck
