Oscar award for violence: Oscar award to serial killer Barden
Review of ‘No Country for Old Men’: The Coen brothers completed their journey from the fringes to Hollywood's mainstream, their crime saga No Country for Old Men winning four Academy Awards, including best picture and supporting actor award which gone to serial killer actor Bardem (Anton Chigurh) without remorse.
‘The bad guy’, Anton Chigurh as a terrifying serial killer, is, as Moss puts it later in the movie, “the ultimate badass.” He is a one man killing machine; you can slow him down, but you can’t stop him.
Chigurh's shows politeness, by his tendency to say please and thank you — that, and the way his heart doesn't skip a beat when he's murdering someone.
The philosophical bent comes out right before that, when Chigurh teases out the role of fate in life and death. On occasion, he goes so far as to flip a coin and have the potential victim declare heads or tails. A sadist would go ahead and kill the sap anyway, but Chigurh believes that everything happens for a reason, that it's all predetermined, that our fates are sealed. In his own twisted way, he's a man of principle.
That world is a place in which life and death turn on the a flip of a coin, metaphorical and literal, with the choice thrust upon the innocent as well as the guilty for the disquieting reason that there is no reason, only the flip of that coin, and the turn of fate that led to that moment.
The moments that linger like hours as a victim awaits the fatal shot that he knows is coming.
For Anton Chigurh, it’s to get the money back however he can.
Key factors insight into Anton’s mind: he does things, like kill certain people that would seem unnecessary, even foolhardy, in order to prove a point. Anton’s trail of bodies is never random; there is a reason for every kill he makes, but to those who believe killing is wrong on any level, they will see Anton as a homicidal maniac with no remorse.
‘No country for old man’ is based on the acclaimed novel by Pulitzer Prize winner Cormac McCarthy.
The story begins when Llewelyn Moss finds a pickup truck surrounded by a sentry of dead men. A load of heroin and 2 million dollars in cash are still in the back. When Moss takes the money, he sets off a chain reaction of catastrophic violence that not even the law, in the person of aging, disillusioned Sheriff Bell, can contain. As Moss tries to evade his pursuers--in particular, a mysterious mastermind who flips coins for human lives--the film simultaneously strips down the American crime drama
We see that Moss lives with his wife in a trailer park, obviously not the setting Moss is content to live with. He intends to use the money to provide a better life for his wife and himself, shedding some light on his true motive for taking the money.
Moss also returns to the desert to deliver water to the lone survivor of the shootout: a Mexican who was wounded and left sitting in a truck with the drugs. Unfortunately for Moss, attempting to do this one good thing would prove to be the catalyst that causes the rest of the movie.
Chigurh tracks Moss all over the map.

‘No country for old men’ is full of serial killing without endings. Violence is heavy. Everyone in the in the theatre hated serial killer; they thought the ending was terrible, they didn't like Anton Chigurh, (SPOILER) especially after he killed Carla Jean Moss, etc. In this movie villain serial killer wins.

Coen brothers never implicitly show Chigurh getting the money from the hotel room or killing Carla Jean Moss. Both of these things are implied (Chigurh has opened the vent/has money at the end, and Chigurh checking his shoes for blood). And again, the fact that this movie has no score, yet maintains the emotional levels that it does, is just amazing.
It's an unanswerable question (the film has an unresolved ending, as it's only interested in telling the story and not speculating on answers or even caring who ends up with the loot). Whole film is full of killing and the end no one gain any.
