Q view of how the world works

Simply put this is one of finest American films ever made. I put it in my top 25. It's as tight as a drum and as thought provoking as any film you'll see.
Years ago there was a popular book titled Why Do Bad Things Happen to Good People?. No Country for Old Men tackles that question. And it abbreviates it to Why do things happen? The answer the book gives is that things happen because...they happen. They just do. Call it luck or the lack of it. Call it coincidence. Call it fate. Anton Sugrue is fate. The physical manifestation of fate. He appears at his discretion, not ours. And there's no way to stop him or make him go away.
Anton and fate are one in the same. And they are omnipresent. They are everywhere and all powerful. How powerful? Even Fate can't stop fate. Even Fate can get blindsided at an intersection. Because, "You can't stop what's coming.'
