No Country For Old Men

KvP:
Nah, he left his truck to give the dying gangster water, and the other gangsters slashed his tires and took the registration plate from inside the door. So in the non-internetted world of 1978 (I think that's when it takes place?) the gangsters had to wait until the next day to verify Llewelyn's identity, giving him plenty of time to orchestrate an escape. I think Anton figures it out through the license plate, or something.

RedLion:
The organization/man who hired Chigurh also gave the information about Llewellyn to the Mexicans. That's why Chigurh goes to the office building and blows away the unnamed man behind the desk--the Mexicans were getting in his way. That, and the guy hired another hit man to kill Chigurh for drawing too much attention to the whole situation.

I watched it again last night, and the meaning behind it really struck me this time. I personally interpreted the movie's message as: even when you know that there's no way out, even when faced with a situation where it's literally impossible to win, there's no alternative but to live, to live until your number's up. That, and, along that same line, that even in the darkest, harshest conditions, you have to go on and believe that there will be some reprieve in the final score--that's what I took from Jones' final monologue at the end.
