Take the money and run?
If you haven't seen No Country For Old Men and plan to you might not want to read below.
I watched No Country for Old Men over the weekend and I loved it. Its the most intense movie I have ever seen. There is no soundtrack that plays awful high pitch dissonant chords to create a suspenseful moment, it was the look on the characters faces, you could feel what they were feeling. I am pretty sure if I ever ran into the guy who played Anton (Javier Bardem) in the street I would turn around and start running.
There was one question I had throughout the movie though. Why take all the money? In the movie a guy is out hunting in the middle of the Texas desert and out in the middle of nowhere runs into a drug shootout. No one is alive and there are trucks and dead people everywhere. He looks around for a little bit and as he is leaving finds a man who tried to get away only to die sitting next to a tree. Next to this man is a big satchel full of money. Why in the world would you take all of the money?
If he is going to take the money, which is a stupid risk, then I would suggest not taking all of it. Do you think they are going to hunt you down for only two or three bundles? That is still a good sum of money and I dont think they would even realize that part of the money is gone until they counted it and by then all your tracks and whatnot would be gone.
Would you take the money?

Everyone is dead. If it was someone's money, wouldn't they have come and gotten it by now? You live in a trailer park. You have a gun. Who's going to come get you? Isn't that a short cut to the American dream?
I would say the only people who don't take the money are the same people who wouldn't be out in the middle of nowhere at 2 am.
I loved the movie.
