Scandanavian War Machine:

Either the mercenary or his employer (I don't remember which) is the last person we see die.

the last person you actually see die is the employer. when he kills the mercenary, we are in the room with him, we see the gun go off, but the victim is obscured by the chair he's sitting in. that's the actual point where it transitions from seeing the violence, to seeing only the aftermath.
it's sort of a half way point as far as that goes.
my only grievance with this whole movie is that Chigurh (sp?) initially appears to be shooting buckshot/birdshot/pellets/whatever out of his silenced shotgun; which is obviously preposterous. it only happens a couple of times before he appears to switch to slugs but it really bothered me, for some reason.
anyway, if that's my only beef with a movie then i'd call it a resounding success.

If I recall they covered that in the book. But damn if I remember how.
Scandanavian War Machine:

Yeah. I actually listened to the audio book of No Country... but I read The Road and All the Pretty Horses just recently. The Road read just like poetry. Incredible stuff.
Liz:
I bought the DVD today. I am not letting myself watch it until I finish my anthropology assignment and study for the two tests I have tomorrow. So I will probably be viewing it again on Friday, I'm thinking.
