illustration of Anton Chigurh in the gas station scene (0:21:13-0:25:37) from No Country for Old Men shows that death is omnipresent, and a result of our own choices.

Does the ocean separate cultures? Location doesn't dictate the things we do traditionally or daily. In any two locations there are just as many similarities as there are differences.
