來自“沒有老人的國家”的硬幣拋棄場景是Mise-en-Scène的大師班

在所有適合製作犯罪類型的電影的數百萬，數百萬和數百萬個的個人場景中，也許是我最喜歡的單個場景 - 我最喜歡的是我最喜歡的一幕

This scene is from the Coen Brothers' film No Country for Old Men. It features Anton Chigurh (Javier Bardem), a hitman who uses a coin toss to determine whether or not to kill people, and a gas station clerk (Gene Jones).

這個場景來自科恩兄弟的電影《無鄉村》。它以殺手安東·奇格（Anton Chigurh（Javier Bardem）（Javier Bardem）為特色，他使用硬幣折騰來確定是否殺死人和加油站店員（Gene Jones）。

Chigurh enters the gas station and begins chatting with the clerk. He learns that the clerk is from another town and that he and his wife inherited the gas station from her father four years ago. This conversation triggers Chigurh's suspicion and he feels compelled to play the clerk in a coin toss.

Chigurh進入加油站，開始與店員聊天。他得知店員來自另一個城鎮，他和他的妻子四年前從父親那裡繼承了加油站。這次談話引發了奇格爾的懷疑，他感到不得不在硬幣拋棄的店員中扮演店員。

Chigurh finishes eating a snack and places the crumpled plastic wrapper on the counter. A close-up shot reveals how it writhes like an insect, once he lets go, an uncomfortable movement capturing the squirminess of this whole interaction.

Chigurh吃了小吃，然後將皺巴巴的塑料包裝紙放在櫃檯上。特寫鏡頭揭示了它是如何像昆蟲一樣扭曲的，一旦他放開，一個不舒服的動作捕捉了整個互動的蠕動。

“What’s the most you ever lost in a coin toss?” Chigurh asks him, flipping the coin. “Call it,” he says exasperatedly.

“您在硬幣折騰中丟失了最多的是什麼？” Chigurh問他，翻轉硬幣。 “叫它，”他生氣地說。

The clerk is confused about what exactly they’re betting on. “I didn’t put nuthin’ up,” he tells Chigurh.

店員對他們確切的賭注感到困惑。他告訴奇格爾：“我沒有把諾丁拿起。”

“Yes you did,” Chigurh tells him. “You’ve been putting it up your whole life. Now, heads or tails?”

“是的，” Chigurh告訴他。 “您一生都在努力。現在，頭還是尾巴？”

The clerk calls heads, and he is correct.

店員叫頭，他是正確的。

“Well done,” says Chigurh quickly, blandly.

“做得好，” Chigurh迅速地說道。

Chigurh leaves the gas station and the camera captures a reverse-shot of the Clerk. This one's a medium shot, not the close-ups of the previous few exchanges. Now, we can see that the register in front of the clerk reads .21 from the previous sale. “PAID OUT .21.”

Chigurh離開加油站，相機捕獲了店員的反射。這是中型鏡頭，而不是前幾次交流的特寫。現在，我們可以看到，店員前面的寄存器從上一張銷售中讀取.21。 “支付了.21。”

“21” is the lucky number in another game of chance, Blackjack. The fact that it has been on the register all along perhaps clarifies that the Clerk was destined to win this game, all along.

“ 21”是另一場機會遊戲中的幸運數字，二十一點。一直以來一直在註冊上，這一事實也許澄清了店員注定要贏得這場比賽。
