Idiot
Genuis
>I ain't got no agua>*waits twelve hours*>actually I do have agua, better go back and give him some
>>221170343agua
>>221170500>>221170501I’m not even thinking of the agua, for me it’s the stupidity of stealing millions of dollars from a cartel shoot up and thinking you can ride it out
>>221170648It was literally all down to the agua.They found out who he was from the plate on his truck he left at the scene because he went back with the agua later.If he didn't they wouldn't have a hope of finding him with the tracker before he eventually noticed it.
>>221170850He only noticed the tracker after being found for the third time
>>221170918>teleports from the street into the truckJesus. I don't remember the editing being so bad.
>>221170850Nah, the cartel would have just canvased the nearby town looking for the tracker signal. He never would have fled because he wouldn't have realized the cartel was onto him until it was too late and they shoot up his trailer while he's screwing his hot wife.
>>221170918Too bad the webbum doesn't let you hear Yakkety Sax playing during this scene
He was an idiot for not immediately fleeing the country the moment he tossed the tracker. After that he could've been scott free
>>221170994Even so, that's still a random hope of them driving near every house, motel and bank.The stupidest thing he could do is keep it in the same container and hide it as it was.I think most people would at least count it or get rid of the bag in case it was recognized, more chance of him eventually finding the wad with the tracker and dump it on the highway or smash it
>>221170343Did he not think the people looking for him would go to his mother-in-law’s house eventually?
>>221171095Valid
>>221171029he didn't have a passport and going to Mexico long term was a no-go considering it was Mexican cartel money he stole
>>221171029Flee to Mexico. Great idea.
>>221171095Most people would just grab a wad of cash out of the suitcase and let the rest blow back to the mountains like in Treasure of the Sierra Madre.
>>221171138>>221171154>Buy a truck>Drive to Canada or rural northwest>Live comfy with the money Its 1980. Its not like they can track him as easily as they could today
Did Chigurh kill the accountant guy?
>>221171138He could have fled to Canada, although really he just needs to leave the region and he probably would be ok.
>>221170343Killed off-screen like a bitch.
>>221171172People are greedier than that anon
His refusal to plan or show any real survival instinct represents the viewer shelling out money and accolades to this movie under threat of looking stupid or soft in front of chigger.
>>221170343I own this exact shotgun the Nornico 97 and I sit like this with it sometimes
>>221170648he literally would have gotten away with it if he didn't feel bad and go back. they were only able to track him because they saw his truck >>221170343I know it's not the point of the story and the guy who was writing it isn't a gun guy, but it's kind of funny he went out of his way to buy one of the most expensive pump action shotguns that would have been on the market in 1980 whatever
The movie hews very closely to the book, but I wish it included the part where he picks up the hitchhiker chick. As well as showing more of his actual death, where he manages to headshot a cartel guy before getting killed
>>221171259Wasn’t there a tracker with the money which he only found after switching locations three times? They would’ve found out immediately
>>221170500What's really stupid is that Lou Ellen didn't really need that water to bust the Mexican's crust. Even after a day hunting in the desert he could have spared a little spittle, and that's all a cowboy really needs to get it on, unless he's some kind of limpdick faggot who can't even get hard at the prospect of some prime dirty cartelussy. But no, Lou Ellen had to go back for some agua to wash out the dude's crack like a little fairy princess, and he let the man die without a final bronco ride. Shameful.
>>221170343By the time he even realized the tracker was a possibility, whatever lead he had was nonexistent. If you find money like that, the safe thing to do is just drive. You can stop for a few minutes to get gas and check the money and case for trackers. After driving for a sufficient time, find a motel with microwaves in the room. Ditch the case. Microwave every single stack of bills to eliminate the possibility of any electronics. Money goes in a brand new case you bought somewhere on the way. After microwaving the bills, immediately leave the motel, drive somewhere else, and keep driving. Go home after a few days.
>>221171351I guess that's why they call it No Mountain for Broke Bucks.
>>221170343It's way dumber in the book. In the book he hides under the bed, Chigurh comes in the room and he basically stands up behind him, disarms him, tells him to turn around, asks him not to get out of the room or he'll shoot him, runs down the stairs, out the door, gets shot twice while he's running in full view of the room balcony. He also manages to kill an old woman sitting in her room by emptying his shotgun randomly at a building.That's before mentioning that he never bothered to check the money, that he stayed on main traffic arteries, or that he was found because he went back and parked right next to the spot instead of tracking there on foot. The guy was a sniper in Vietnam yet you want to believe this child killer cares about a basically dead wetback drug dealer.
cormac macarthy books are absolute trashfucking theater kid prose
>>221170930>>221170994>>221171335doesn't the film take place in 1980? there's no way the tracker's range would have been long enough for them to randomly drive through town and find him. it either would have died or he would have found the tracker before then when he was checking the money. anton is only able to use the tracker because he knows what town Lou went to and started driving by motels.I'm pretty sure the film even shows the tracker didn't have a massive range when anton was driving around looking for it >>221171247I think it's supposed to be a real 1897 and not a chimaman one, leaf
>>221170918>actually SEES the fucking shot go off>manages to grimace, duck and only then it flies past its headthose two jews were the worst kind of directors for this movie
>>221171549>radioactive tracker>"it'll just randomly die!"
>>221171505>He also manages to kill an old woman sitting in her room by emptying his shotgun randomly at a buildingI thought that was from the cartel shootout that happens shortly after?
>>221171578in the book he says that the deep chugging of the shotgun caromed off the facades of the buildings, something close to thathe shot in panic, mexicans would kill him but another party showed up and then chigurh killed them all
>>221171562it wasn't radioactive. It was a battery powered radio wave beacon. it was using a battery to emit electromagnetic radiation in the radio or microwave frequency like a cellphone or wifi router would.there's no fucking way he had a Gigercounter that was sensitive enough to find a radioactive source and that source didn't give everyone involved radiation poisoning withing days
>>221171621Damn. I haven't read the book in years, I should pick it up again. It's only ~200 pages after all
>>221171185It was a rhetorical question so yes.
The last line of this movie was "And then I woke up"aren't you specifically never supposed to end a story with that line?
>>221171672Did some hack who never wrote a successful story tell you that?
>>221171645I reread it constantly, it's by far the best Cormac work for me, it's so concise. Read The Passenger if you haven't yet.
>If it ain't it'll do till the mess gets here
>>221170343>trailer park welder trying to swipe money from the cartel is an idiotYeah no shit, he's the quintessential texan, a wannabe cowboy
this film is stupid>guy gets chased by dogs and guys with pistols and shotguns and submachine guns>he jumps into the water>instead of shooting him in the back they just let the dogs go after him
>>221172107they don't want to damage the money in case he's got it on him, it was dark and he was a ways off so safer to let the dogs run out
>>221172107>>221172157The scene only makes sense if you know that it was originally supposed to feature a trap remix of "Who Let the Dogs Out" by the Baha Men. They filmed a whole tie-in music video and everything, with Javier Bardem twerking over the chorus. But the music rights fell through at the last minute--something about the Coen Brothers and a cocaine-fueled political dispute--and now we're left with this pointless scene showing unsimulated dog murder.
>>221172157>they dont want to damage the moneyhow spielbergian
>>221170648If the retard actually emptied the case he'd have found the tracking device and would've probably gotten away with it. If I found a big case of money in the middle of a shootout first thing id do is count/check the money and put it in a different bag or case.
>>221172314Ok I laughed. Have a (You)
>>221172314I've been saying this for years
>>221172107Did you guys know Tony was actually a mild retard and all the other mob guys played along out of respect for his father? All the real decisions were made for him or independent of him. He was none the wiser.
>>221170343The single most unrealistic thing in this whole story is also the thing it hangs upon. I refuse to believe that a man would come upon a bagful of money and not count it at his first opportunity. Doing so is all it would have taken to discover the tracker.
>>221170443Most powerful Coen character.
The main plot is a story within a story told by the retired sheriff. None of it is real, he never solved the case, he's filling in the blanks.
