The whole point of the post is trying to avoid a Che T-shirt situation. Are you dense intentionally or unintentionally?

That’s a good idea, I think that’s the way I’ll go.

They almost encounter each other. He’s hiding in the hotel room after Llewelyn is killed near the end of the movie. Anton is literally shivering with fear on the other side of the door. Somehow he disappears before the sheriff enters the room.

No Country is a film (novel) about how personal gain has supplanted spiritual morality as the driving force behind our greater human culture.

Josh Brolin embarks on this whole crusade just to secure his bag of money. Woody Harrelson is a self-described “day trader” while he moonlights as a hitman. Javier Bardem kills them both, but he’s terrified of Tommy Lee Jones because he’s just a sheriff who is simply committed to upholding the law as he sees it. As misguided as their respective motivations are (Anton is a psychopath with very black-and-white morals) they are the only two characters who are not driven by material gain. That’s what makes them both so formidable, in the context of the film.

I’ve rewatched this movie so many times, and this to me is the overarching theme of the story.
