The memorable coin toss scene in No Country for Old Men (Ethan Coen‚ Joel Coen‚ 2007) primarily serves to reveal to the audience more about the fickle and psychopathic nature of the primary antagonist‚ Anton Chigurh. This scene begins with a fade into an extreme long shot of the store that Anton is stopping by at.

The scene with the street riots in Virginia establishes the conflict between the two races in this environment and many other places similar to it‚ like that of Maycomb County (the setting of To Kill A Mockingbird).

In Steven Soderbergh’s 2011 hyperlink movie‚ Contagion‚ the scene that I felt was the most significant was the scene when the main character of the movie‚ Mitch‚ witnesses his wife‚ Beth‚ collapse in their kitchen which occurs within the first 20 minutes of the film.
