Question: In "No Country for Old Men" when Tommy Lee Jones goes back to the hotel!.!.!.!?
!.!.!.!.and it looks like Anton Shugar (Javier Bardem) is hiding behind the door but then when the Sheriff (Tommy Lee Jones) opens the door no one is even in the room - what does that mean!?
Is that just the Sheriff imagining Shugar is there!? Or does that mean Shugar was there before!? Can anyone explain that scene to me, I saw it again last night on STARZ and it is driving me crazy!!?!
Thanks!!Www@Enter-QA@Com

That scene has always confused me, too!. My first thought was that he WAS there previously and the way the film was edited, makes Chigurh appear even more elusive!.
In fact, here's what Wikipedia writes about that particular scene: "After dinner with the local sheriff, Sheriff Bell returns to the now quiet motel and finds that the lock to Moss's hotel room door has been blown out!. Chigurh is shown hiding behind the door of a motel room as he observes Bell in the reflection of the empty lock hole!. His gun drawn, Bell enters the room where Moss was killed and notices the vent cover has been removed with a dime!. Bell eventually leaves without encountering Chigurh!."Www@Enter-QA@Com
