Sheriff Ed Tom Bell
Anton Chigurh
Llewelyn Moss
Carla Jean Moss
Carson Wells
（1）Anton Chigurh
他是个怪人。他没有人性，连“恶”的人性也没有，不贪财不好色，甚至没有万能的弗洛伊德式的童年创伤性经验，没感情，保全自己利益永远要放在嗜血本性之上；有自己的笃定坚持的原则和行为规律，至于金钱和毒品以至于一切事物之上的原则，他杀人的原则就是逆我者必亡和硬币理论，适用介于可杀与可不杀之间的情况，需要“由上帝掷骰子来决定”，有着上帝一样天然的不可抗拒力。
他是撒旦转世，他的行为是撒旦在人间的欢歌，他代表着对社会和法律的挑衅，不受人间法律的约束，有着死本能。
He is a freak. He has no humanity, even the humanity of evil, no feeling, no greed for money and sex, has no universal Freudian childhood traumatic experiences. He is wake and not insane, he always put himself upon the bloody nature.
But he has his own principle and behavior rules which are upon everything else. He kills people because they behave against his will or decides to kill or not kill by coin.
He is Satan reincarnated in the world and represents the provocation/challenge to the society and law. He has a strong death instinct.
（2）Sheriff Ed Tom Bell
代表人间秩序和法律。是OLD MAN。
He represents the law and justice, the old man in the name of the film.
（3）Llewelyn Moss
黑色幽默、荒诞讽刺
宿命论、暴力犯罪、人性贪婪
（1）黑色幽默：对未来的不可知来证明世界的残酷；在车祸之后，重伤的杀手依然可以逃离警察的追捕。虽然逃的狼狈，很有些角色对换的喜剧效果。
（2）荒诞讽刺
（3）宿命论：
世界被一股无形的力量所控制,就像那个硬币一样。在世界里，在生活中，人和任何一样渺小的东西一样，走向都是偶然的，这偶然有逻辑，一件事情确有另一件事情的引导，但逻辑不掌握在人手里，掌握在上帝那只偶然的手里。
因为摩丝想到去送水，紧接着又被墨西哥人发现。而逃亡才侥幸躲过了史格直接用信号发射装置找上门来,史格和贝尔喝牛奶的地方,镜头一直在拍被风吹动的窗帘,风,一直是作为一种看不到,摸不着的力量，代表了我们每个人的命运。
史格代表的是世界上邪恶的,贪婪的,不好的力量,他们和所有人一样也会被命运之手戏弄,莫名其妙就出来车祸。生命力顽强的莫斯，突然死在与剧情无关的街头暴徒手中，仿佛是一场上帝玩笑导致的命运。
The world is controlled by some unknown power, like the coin. In the world and life, people are small like everything. There is some logic in the contingency. But the logic is not decided by man but the GOD.
Anton represents the devil and bad power, but hurt by car accident; and moss was so strong that he escape the hunting of Anton, but killed by Mexican.
Everything seems that God has made a joke of the fate.
（3）人性贪婪：人会因为金钱而变坏。小朋友拿了钱，立刻开始争这钱是谁的。这和前面Moss花钱买衣服如出一折。
Greed is sin. People will get bad because of money. The boys get the money from selling his clothes and start to ague whose money it is, just like Moss paid to get his clothes.
（5）暴力犯罪：影片在细节处揭示的是犯罪无所不在，暴力以更隐秘更极端的方式出现，从而带有突发性的残酷。试图展示出美国社会的恐慌感。
Violence and crime: the film has shown that crime is everywhere and the panic of the American society. Violence came in the so secretary and extreme way that it is sudden and cruel.
杀手毫无道理的杀戮和暴力，更难对抗，也更难追踪，几无规律可循，也加深了杀手的恐怖背影。
美国西部生活的全部方式以及那种以快节奏逼近的结局；在一个堕落的世界中，最后的荣耀和正义；正在进行的人性与邪恶的对抗；黑色喜剧与现代暴力；诱惑、生存和牺牲之间的相互作用；不断升级的混乱；对黑暗时期残存的爱和一线希望的感动；人类有关对与错、诱惑与荣誉的权利和规则；可容纳更多暴力和无视法律的现代美国
当恶变成一种纯粹的恶，无从理解也无从破解，而他又充斥着这个社会的时候，年老者的经验：他们相信人性、道德、个人奋斗，相信勇气智慧和力量能战胜邪恶，他们所重视的个人和荣誉和坚守的信条，似乎都靠不住了。
当一个人越老，越发感觉自己对于世界的控制能力是如此的薄弱，世界是如此的荒诞不经。原先的世界不断崩塌陷落着，而倾塌中的碎片又不断拼贴连粘成新的世界，塌陷连粘中，时间过去了，人老了，不再有力气去适应新世界。没有什么社会，什么国度是适合老人的，是因为老人对于世界的认识更加透彻却也更加无力。
Moss的岳母的葬礼，暗示了对于老人，死亡是他们的最终去处。Tom的叔父告诉他“你无法控制事件的发生，那是无用的”。埃德以为退休了就有个温柔乡、宁静乡、安详乡可以依靠，结果没有，结果只有个梦，而且梦不长，很快醒了。
生活不可依靠，规则不可依靠，自己也不可依靠，这世界无可依靠的。一切都陷入虚无主义。
When the evil is the pure badness, we cannot understand and solve it. But when the whole world is full of evil, elders believe in humanity, moral, and self-struggle, and think that bravery, Wit and strength can beat evil. But the individual honor and the belief they value are no longer reliable.
As the time passing by, people got older and cannot get used to the new world, he will find the world is absurd and uncontrollable. No country and no world for old man because the better they know about the world, the more helpless they feel.
The funeral of Moss’s mother in law implies that death is the end for old man. Tom’s uncle tells him “u cannot stop what’s coming”. Ed thinks that he will have a gender and quite country to rely on after retirement, but there is none. That is a dream, a short dream, and he will wake up soon.
Life is unreliable, the principle is unreliable, the self is unreliable, and the world is unreliable. Everything leads to nihilism.
▶ “William J. Devlin notices that "in No Country for Old Men, without the final showdown between the hero and the villain, good cannot triumph. And so we see that the good either is killed (Llewelyn) or runs away (Bell). But does this mean that evil triumphs over good? Not necessarily. Bad guys, such as Wells and Chigurh's boss, are killed, but it takes an even worse person to do it. Though that may seem to suggest that in the end evil wins, the film ultimately suggests something even worse: what is good and what is bad is all a matter of chance. Whether it is the attendant who lives by correctly calling the coin flip, Carla Jean who dies, Bell who ends up not confronting Chigurh, or Chigurh getting into a car accident–all of these events occurred by some degree of chance. This suggests that the question of good versus bad is no longer a significant question since these values can no longer be applied to individuals . . . . This leads to nihilism. “
▶ “That is, Ellis suggests that there is no meaning, no value, to our actions in life. Acting according to moral justifications of justice, duty, courage, and so on is pointless. Further, as Bell explains his feelings of being 'overmatched,' he is disturbed by the thought that God hasn't helped him: 'I always thought when I got older God would sort of come into my life in some way. He didn't.' For Bell, God's presence in his life would help him to see his life as meaningful; without God, Bell falls into nihilism and is discouraged. Finally, Ellis summarizes the situation to Bell: 'What you got ain't nothing new. This country is hard on people. . . . You can't stop what's comin'.' . . . As such, the West is now a world where there is no rhyme or reason, and those within it are never held accountable. It has become a country without meaning and without any inherent value. The country, in short, has collapsed into nihilism.”
