... (thoughts on that last scene and the money?)

[/ QUOTE ]

I thought it was an example to show that Anton and Moss aren't that different at all - when it comes to survival, they'll resort to the same methods/ideas (Moss offers the college kids money for the jacket at the border)

[/ QUOTE ]

this is an interesting point, and i hadn't really thought about it. partly because the book and the movie end somewhat differently, and partly because I never thought to compare Moss and Chigurh like that. (I was busy comparing Moss and the Sheriff.)

<font color="white">When I think about it more, Moss and Chigurh always seem to come out in a draw when they meet face to face. Moss is caught then slips away several times, and even when they shoot it out it is somewhat of a draw. Interesting. </font>

To me, the Sheriff is more of an example of "what could have been". Had the Sheriff been younger (10, 20 years?), I really think that he would have been an equal to both Moss and Chigurh, in terms of resourcefulness and tenacity.

(spoiler) <font color="white"> Instead, he seems to be just a step behind - just missing Anton at the trailer park, not convincing Moss's wife enough to protect her from Chigurh </font>


That's a great point in your spoiler - (spoiler again)
<font color="white"> Anton seems to be able to kill anyone he desires to, but can't finish Moss; Moss seems to come up with very rational plans of escape and backup measures, but he can't ever shake Chigurh.</font>

two rooms were taped off with crime scene tape, i think chigurh was in one room and the sherrif walked into the other room, again chance coming into play.

This is what I thought, but I haven't really seen anyone who agrees with this idea.
