Best movie of the year (sorry, Gone Baby Gone), and one of my favorite movies in recent theatre memory.

I loved the ending; what a perfectly dark, chilling conclusion!

**SPOILERS**

I read an interesting theory on the mysterious scene towad the end where we see Tommy Lee Jones at one end of a hotel door, and Chugar at the other. Jones breaks in, but Chugar is not to be found. Well, there are several theories going around that place Chugar at a supernatural level, at least in some context. This is backed up as well by the many instances in the film where a character refers to him as a ghost, or some other such entity.

Well I read one analyzation that put Chugar out as "greed", personified. Notice that the two people that Chugar doesn't kill when he has the chance, the sheriff and gas station attendent, both confess to beig quite content with their lives.

Using this theory, it is possible that when the sheriff breaks into the hotel room and Chugar is not there, it is because he cannot see greed.

Anyway, I thought this was one interesting dig on the film.
i think the only reason Chigurh didnt kill the gas station attendant is because he won the coin toss.
