One of my favorites too. Even better than the book I think and the book is great.
Loved The Road too. With that I think the book is better but the movie is still nicely done.
This your first time watching NCFOM?
Have you seen All the pretty horses?
"If Anton had it, we know he wasn't going to return it to the Mob... he killed the Stephen Root character (excellently acted, BTW). He wasn't going to give it to the Mexicans, he killed a bunch o' them."
Of course we never find out in the movie but in the book:
"In Cormac McCarthy's novel, No Country for Old Men, Anton Chigurh delivers what is left of the drug money purloined by the killed Llewelyn Moss to an unnamed man in a large office building. It is presumed that this man has taken over for the company executive that Chigurh killed earlier."
Had to look it up since I haven't read the book in so long...
I guess we can only assume that the dime left behind belongs to Anton.
Oh and btw, the quarter was for coin tossing and the dime was for the grille.
"Intriguing film, as we can mull over such things, which might not have been conceived as having an answer. I'm OK with that, as life itself is that way. I think that was one of the points the Coens were making."
That's why I love this movie so much...glad you enjoy it too.
Looks like a picture of him from The Exorcist.
"May they all rest in peace."
Well they're not going to rest now that you've made fun of their teeth...:)
Because that's when we started getting bad trouble on the borders which fits nicely with Bell's dilemma.
Clarke's novel was a different version of the story. Not a novelization.
My point is that it's not meant to be read first in order to understand the movie.
Legion is a very good book. I've read it several times.
"This movie was co-conceived and co-written by Kubrick and Arthur C. Clarke. A movie was done and a book was done by each of their craft. Because of the co-creation, it is my opinion that both mediums were to be consumed together. The movie requires no exposition because the book provides the exposition. The movie is simply the visual story version of the book with the intention that the audience has already read it."
Wrong.
fleischwolf is right. The demon was defeated by Karras' sacrifice. The exorcism had little effect.
Also, the demon wanted Merrin to watch Regan die. In the book the demon is very upset by Merrin's death.
Anton got the money. As you mentioned TLJ sees the vent open and a dime lying on the floor so it's implied.
In the book it's definitely Anton.
No it's not mentioned in the movie or book so probably not.
The desk clerk is the one at the second hotel.
