First coin flip scene: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=OLCL6OYbSTw Second coin flip scene: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=oGfvV3Syud8 The film, 'No Country for Old Men' is a hard hitting 122 minutes of suspense and conflicting duality, however, twice during its course the character known as Anton Chigurh ( https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Anton_Chigurh ) presents a two different individuals with a near impossible dilemma, he actively puts everything they are into a single coin toss, conveying the philosophy that life and death are just two sides of the same 'coin' and that chance is the only real divide between them.

One scene in particular that stands out is the first time the audience sees the exterior and more importantly the interior of Rick's Cafe Americain ( https://www.google.co.uk/search?q=ricks+cafe+americain&rlz=1C5CHFA_enGB767GB767&source=lnms&tbm=isch&sa=X&ved=0ahUKEwiDq8OhsZjXAhXFmBoKHUyqBbEQ_AUICigB&biw=1920&bih=1008 ), within the building th...
