No Country for Old Men - Hotel Scene

One unlucky Caucasian and one badass motherfucker with his shotgun.

During this scene in the book, Chigurh had Carson in the room at gunpoint like in the movie. He made a comment about how much Carson wished he could be him, and when Carson asked him why on earth he would want to be such an awful person, Chigurh replied "You are here and I am here. In a few minutes I will still be here." One of the most frightening lines I've ever come across.

"You should admit your situation. There would be more dignity in it." Always loved that line. It's cold but true.

Fun fact: Woody Harrelson was so determined to get an Oscar that he insisted Javier Bardem use live rounds in his shotgun. They had stop filming and remove the pellets afterwards and he was ok.

That is the loudest phone in human history

The way Anton says "Alright" in response to Carson saying "you go to hell" always gets to me. It's as if his words were so weak it just fell completely flat to Anton's ears.

Random guy on the street: "Excuse me sir, do you know any ATM nearby?"

Anton: "An ATM..."

I’d rather have Michael Myers chase after me than Anton Chigurh

[MenelikTheFirst]

The thing I love about this scene is that Carson isn’t some cliche “hard badass” who spits in Anton’s face to spite him to the last. He’s real. Many of us talk a big game, but the truth is in the last moments, most of us would beg and plead just like Carson did.

"if the rule you followed brought you to this.. of what use was the rule" This ends up causing Anton to be shaken to the core himself. When he's in a random car accident. He is just as prone to fate as all the people he judges. and God doesn't care what his rules are either. He likes to think of himself as the agent of death, but even he isn't immune from chance.

[mgonzo]

"If the rule you followed brought you to this, of what use was rule?" Great line, and probably the scariest shit you can say to someone before blowing them away.

[reddalchemy]

When he puts his feet up on the bed to avoid the pool of blood, without breaking his conversation, that got me. He is so coolly evil and calculated. So unnerving as a character, and it is great.

I saw this in a packed cinema in London. At 00:10 this huge wave of gasps and audible shock ripples through the whole crowd. It was like jump scare in a horror film. But with no music or loud bang it was just the audience that you could hear. It was incredible.

[teddyterezis]

"An ATM" creepiest shit ive ever seen in my life. Phenomenal acting

[jonskinner]

this is the type of guy you would go into Hannibal lecter's cell to hide from him.

[doorswhofan]

It just occurred to me that most if not all of the key scenes in this film take place in lonely, nondescript, isolated places: a random patch of desert, a middle of nowhere gas station, motel rooms, the back room of an empty house. The feeling of segregation pervades everything, the feeling of being detached and surrounded by random nothingness. Every scene is like an Edward Hopper painting. The movie's whole atmosphere is like that.

"You bring me the money and I'll let'er go. Thats the best deal you're going to get... I wont tell you you can save your self... because you can't." 
Epicness

I don't think anton considered one second he was a psycho until Carson pointed it out. He looked legitimately confused for a second before the phone rang. LOL

[Robert-luwc]

I love how Anton timed the shot to the phone ring to help drown out and muffle the sound of the gun. Fits thematically with how Anton operates and perceives himself as more of a shadow.

[lordchancellorhatton]

Chigurh just skipped the coin toss altogether when dealing with Carson. This was strictly business.

[shadowman]

Woody Harrelson acted his ass off in this scene.
They way he sweating and holding back the tears.
Trying to hide how utterly terrified he was.
Javier is an amazing actor too but Woody really brought the fear and tension in this scene.
