The most innocent character in the film is snuffed out.

Was talking about that with some friends a few days ago... - sjb 11:42:19 03/27/08 (2)
The idea that wherever Chigurh was when the Sheriff entered the Motel, he got to live because he was the truly innocent one and twisted as it may be, Chigurh actually had a code and didn't kill for no reason.

- Perhaps Chigurh didn't kill for no reason, but... - mpathus 23:35:26 03/27/08 (0)
  ...those reasons are so unique to Chigurh's pathology as to render them unreasonable -- part of the "fun" I guess.
  
  Great villain = great movie to try and dope out.
- No, Sheriff Bell wasn't the innocent one - Jazz Inmate 15:18:27 03/27/08 (0)
  Carla Jean was the only innocent character in the movie. Bell had undoubtedly used his gun--for justice no doubt--but he was no longer innocent. The thing is, Bell was doing is job, and as long as Chigurh wasn't cornered by Bell, he had no reason to kill Bell. Of course, Bell knew that too, and it's one reason he retired. He didn't understand the force presented by Chigurh, but he sure as hell didn't want to get snuffed out by it.
