Buying earthworms for your husband is as important as chasing criminals

It’s wonderful. When I finished reading it, I felt that this self-made crime story was boring compared to the old and the blood labyrinth, but then to settle, why set the story in such an icy and snowy environment? And to track down two criminals who have just killed someone with a pregnant female police officer? And what role does the husband of the female police officer who seem to be floating outside the main line play?

In order to help the actors enter the role, Joel Cohen compiled a background story for the policewoman Margot and her husband: Margot and Nome were former police colleagues. After marriage, one of the two must give up their job, and since Margot is a better police officer, Noam decides to resign and start painting. In fact, watching the movie alone can give a general idea of ​​the working status of their husband and wife. Here, the husband is more in the Lord. The next step is to change me from being insensitive to feeling. Anyone who knows a little about marriage relationships can realize that in a family, if the wife’s working ability is stronger than the husband’s, there is a high possibility that there will be problems in the relationship. This is a common phenomenon in the patriarchal society, but here It seems that there is no such hidden danger.

In fact, the original English name of this movie was the place name fargo that appeared in the movie. The name was chosen because the director liked the pronunciation of fargo too much. I think it is not appropriate to translate it as ice and blood storm. Ice and blood storm sounds crazy. Violence, so the audience is ready to accept the baptism of bloody violence, distortion of human nature, and extraordinary cases. As a result, the degree of madness is not enough. Distortion of human nature is not counted. At most it is selfish, greedy and stupid. Three people died at the beginning. However, the process of the police handling the case is really not hurried. They found people who had been in contact with the criminals without accident by relying on the phone records of the car and the hotel. They did cooperate with them to answer, but you can see their status "Oh, he Just tell me that he killed someone. My wife read the news and said that someone died and asked me to call you, so I hit. "It's all in a very indifferent state. You can't see how serious this matter is when the police are handling the case. Urgent, of course, this can reflect a certain amount of black humor, but this de-spectacle is to weaken the proportion of the crime in the movie. If you think about human nature and irony in terms of crime and karma, it’s really meaningless, at least I think it’s like this, it’s like a mistake. If this movie is placed in the category of the extremely violent old and gentle folk songs of the Coen brothers, it will be like a contradiction with both sides, with a little more violent elements. a little. In this contradiction, there are absurd murders caused by selfishness and greed, as well as loving couples who are usually warm and considerate to each other. The two seem to be incompatible with each other, but they also set each other on their own path because of incompatible.

Okay, now I can answer the question in the first paragraph. Only one pregnant female police chief investigated the case, which just shows that everyone’s attitude towards this case is just a normal job, and it is precisely because the female police chief is very My own work is very common, and I don’t think this has any great attitude. The husband can go fishing and painting in a mentally balanced manner when his wife is out to catch bad guys. I know that the two still sound difficult to match, but you see The couple’s attitude towards each other was that the wife got up early to handle the case, and the husband insisted on letting her go after breakfast. Before leaving the house, the car was so cold that it was too cold to make a fire, so just shout to her husband. I want to say that this kind of love is not everywhere. Then there was a scene where the couple had a meal at the police station restaurant. A police officer came to tell Margot about the clues to the case, and asked her husband by the way, are you going to go fishing? It doesn't seem to be the case when I write here, but when I look at it, their state seems to be as important and ordinary as fishing and case handling. While her husband took a back seat at work and turned to fishing and painting. Margot also supported and valued her husband’s work. For example, he did not forget to buy earthworms for his husband while handling the case. He affirmed his husband’s drawing ability and contributed to his small achievements. And proud (husband’s painting was chosen as the stamp design, he still cares that the face value of the stamp is smaller than that of his friend, but Margot just thinks his husband is great) All these show that regardless of their respective identities outside, internal They are both respectful and considerate.

Margot and her husband’s life and mentality are completely different from those of the perpetrators and victims. The director leaves it to the audience to think about it. In such an icy world, do you want to be afraid of money for money, or lie on the bed with your lover and watch TV?

    It's another black humor about money chasing. This time, the Coen brothers quoted the image style toward cruelty and nonsense, and used the absolute right to speak of the author's identity to unwittingly flatter the mainstream American life value. In fact, just as the policewoman who creates a family life cannot be understood as an unscrupulous life with money, so the "modern people" whose consumerism is deeply rooted in their bones cannot agree with the happy quality of their wives and children. 【7↑】
