Finally saw this. Really good movie, but the ending kinda confused me. What the fuck did Anton have on the end of his gun?

HUGE SPOILER

























Here's the text to the Ending

" Okay. Two of 'em. Both had my father.
It's peculiar. I'm older now'n he
ever was by twenty years. So in a sen-
se he's the younger man. Anyway, first
one I don't remember so well but it
was about money and I think I lost it.
The second one, it was like we was
both back in older times and I was on
horseback goin through the mountains
of a night.

...Goin through this pass in the moun-
tains. It was cold and snowin, hard
ridin. Hard country. He rode past me
and kept on goin. Never said nothin
goin by. He just rode on past and he
had his blanket wrapped around him and
his head down...

...and when he rode past I seen he
was carryin fire in a horn the way
people used to do and I could see the
horn from the light inside of it.
About the color of the moon. And in
the dream I knew that he was goin on
ahead and that he was fixin to make a
fire somewhere out there in allthat
dark and all that cold, and I knew
that whenever I got there he would be
there. Out there up ahead."


Although the movie basically ends on a pessimistic note, this second dream sequence tries to leave you with a positive one. No matter how dark and cold it is, you gotta look forward to the light and warmth of the future.  Well that's how I take it lol.  The conversation Tommy Lee Jones had with the ex deputy Ellis was also really good.

I don't know. I feel overmatched.

...I always thought when I got older
God would sort of come into my life
in some way. He didn't. I don't blame
him. If I was him I'd have the same
opinion about me that he does.

 I'm... discouraged.


Ellis
You can't stop what's comin. Ain't
all waitin on you.

...That's vanity.
