Class Notes 5/11 (recorded by Molly Dahlquist):

- What does this movie have to say about money? - Where is Chigurh during the scene when the Sheriff goes back to the motel o Behind the door? o In the bathroom? o Not there at all? - Chigurh most likely took the money from the motel, the dime was still on the ground, same way he opened the vent last time. - Why were there two guys in the bathroom with the door shut? - Why did he blow up the car outside the pharmacy? Was it because he didn’t have money to buy the drugs or did he just want to cause destruction? - The idea of the psychopath/serial killer much overused, something different about Chigurh, not the stereotype from T.V. and other movies - The man he offered the coin toss too… what did he mean that he has been putting up the bet his whole life. - Chigurh’s creepy bowl hair cut
