In No Country for Old Men, Anton Chigurh doesn’t feel like a person—he feels like something inevitable. He moves without emotion and kills without hesitation. He approaches murder like it’s part of a system and treats life and death as choices that depend on chance. The coin toss he uses to decide fate makes him unpredictable and even harder to stop. He sees himself as an enforcer of rules no one else can understand. People are fascinated by him because he’s calm and quiet but his presence feels heavier than anything around him. He doesn’t seem rushed or distracted and that stillness makes him feel unstoppable.
