Free
to kill
The
movie no country for old men is a
thriller in where the killer Chigurh
who is a hit man runs through everyone that gets in his way by killing them. In
Rolling Stones Magazine Peter Travers writes “that pretty end takes the form of
Anton Chigurh (Javier Baedem), an assassin who rivals Hannibal Lecter for
dispatching his victims without breaking a sweat”. The killer Chigurh is trying
to retrieve that has drug money in it. In the movie shooter the main character Bob Lee Swagger gets framed for killing
the bishop of Africa. So through out the movie he is trying to prove his innocence.
By doing so though he has to kill many people that get in his way. In both
these movies the main character is a killer with no regard of the people they
kill and at the end they seem to have got away with murder. Chigurh and Bob Lee
swager are scared of nothing
In
both these movies the killers cure themselves in the same way. When Bob lee swagger
gets shot by a crooked cop in the chest and the thigh he has to cure his own
wounds because he cannot go to a hospital for everyone is looking for him. So
there for he has to figure a way to get the material needed for him to make him
an IV. He cuts the power from a convenient store so the lady at the register won’t
recognize his face. He then buy’s sugar, salt, water, and a marinating needle.
He uses this as an I.V to help him stay alive.
In no country for old men the killer
Chigurh also has to cure for his injuries that he receives from the guy he is chasing named Llewelyn bell. They broke
out in a gunfight and bell shoots Chigurh in the leg with a shotgun, so Chigurh
is left to take care of his wounds. Just like Bob Lee swagger in Shooter he cannot be seen for he is a
killer. Chigurh goes to a Mike Zoss pharmacy but before he goes in the lights
his shirt on fire and sticks it in a gas tank of a car that is just outside the
store. The car blows up distracting everyone in the store now he is free to roam
around the store and get what he needs to cure his wounds.
Chigurh
was looking for the money and is used to getting what he wants fairly easy but
what he ends up getting is a fight with bell. The title of a story published by
A.O of the New York Times the title says it all (he found a bundle of money and
now there is hell to pay) he also writes that the movie is “bleak, scary and
relentlessly violent”. But the hit man he is prevails in the end by killing
bell and his wife. He gets away with both murders unscathed and with the sheriff
in town not even having a lead on him.in dark
side of the coin by Jeptha Hinesyou can read how ruthless of a killer
chigurh is. His exact words are “the serial killer in No Country For old Men is widely considered a mad man. Also a prime
example of chigurhs non value for life is written in controlling Chaos by Meg
she writes” chigurh then steals the police car, pulls over a man and kills him”.
How more awful of a human being can you be then killing a innocent man for no apparent
reason?
Bob lee swagger also runs into a lot of
trouble in his path to prove his innocence over killing the bishop of Africa.
He has to kill secret agents and eventually gets proof of his innocence when he
shows the people in the trial when he gets an appeal that his guns do not shoot.
Every time he is done with his guns he makes it to where they do not fire, but
Bob still has a problem the people who framed him are still out there and will
for sure come after him once again. So he sneaks up to the cabin where all the special
agents are and shoots them dead then blows up the place by releasing the gas
from the stove making it look like a natural fire.
Chigurh
in no Country for old men is very
knowledge in how to kill and how to stay alive. He puts all of these tributes into
effect when he is a hit man out in the streets. He is very good at what he does
and this is why he doesn’t get caught or killed. Bob lee swagger is in the
movie is a retired us marine gunnery sergeant who served as a recon scout
sniper. While in opne of his missions and undercover one he and his partner the
spotter get into some gun fire in the end his partner gets shot down and killed
by a chopper. This is how bob can kill so many people and survive while many agents
are after him and even when he gets shot and is able to stsy alive.
In the end both killers get away with all the
murders that they vomited while running around one trying to retrieve the
suitcase full of drug money and the other trying to prove his innocence of a murdered
that he did not commit. They both took out whoever stood in their ways and got
away with it free as anyone of us. They are trained to kill and adapted to
survive no matter what position they are put in. my hat goes off to both men
for I could never do what they can. I cant even kill or stay alive on call of
duty so to you bob and chigurh.
