Human still have the nature of beast that people contended only appears upon the wild animal. In the film Fargo, the social structure and rules lost effect on constraining some sophisticated men, thus sort of beasts inside of them started hunting each other in civilized world. With less ceremonial cloak, a bloody, kind of comical, but realistic drama was presented.
Humans still possess the bestiality we usually think of only wild animals. In Fargo, the social systems and rules originally used to restrain people have failed, and people who have experienced worldly experience have lost control, and they have completely released the beasts that have been imprisoned for a long time in their hearts and let them hunt in the civilized world. With the disguise of civilization gone, audiences are fortunate to enjoy such a bloody, comical, terrifying, but very real movie.
Jerry is a sales executive at a Minneapolis-based general car dealership. According to common sense, he should be the kind of law-abiding citizen who lived a happy and happy life, however, his ambition made it impossible for him to be content with just selling cars for a lifetime. Jerry is very greedy, and even if his financial strength is unbearable, he cannot easily give up the opportunity to realize his ambition. So, he first borrowed 320,000 from GMAC by forging the serial number of the vehicle as collateral. However, the accountant of the capitalist is not for nothing, and the fraudulent loan will be revealed sooner or later, and he needs more money. Jerry proposes to his wealthy father-in-law Wade to invest in a large piece of land to make a profit, and contacts Gaear and Carl to stage a kidnapping of his wife Jean with him for ransom. He is too greedy, even if it is his own wife, as long as she can get money, she can be kidnapped by strangers without telling him, because he can't even trust his own wife, maybe his wife really doesn't make him feel at ease . However, to his surprise, Wade is even more greedy than he is and will only pay him a little poor finder' s fee. As a result, the original 80,000 ransom is not enough for principal. Then just mention the ransom to 1 million. When greed collides, the weaker gets nothing. Wade insisted on trading in person, but Jerry couldn't even touch the money box, so he didn't catch a penny. Poor Jean, her father Wade obviously put the amount of ransom in the first place. If she can report to the police, she will not pay. If she can only pay 500,000, she will not pay 1 million. It is better to shoot Carl directly. No need to spend. As a result, he did not expect that the other party was not only greedy, but also bloodthirsty, and was directly shot by Carl. The beast in Carl's heart is obviously stronger, he seized the opportunity to raise the price to Jerry, and the three innocent deaths became the reason for him to raise the price. The first time he encountered a parking lot controlled by a greedy and powerful capitalist, he was able to relieve his anger by scolding the toll collector for $4. The second time he encountered it, he would shoot the toll collector in the forehead. When he found out that ransom had 1 million yuan, he was dizzy due to greed and drunkenness. He hid 920,000 yuan in the snow, and only took 80,000 yuan and went back to share the spoils with his companion Gaear. Life is still in vain. Those 920,000 were later taken away by passers-by without hesitation, and that person also paid a huge price for greed in the end. If Jerry has not completely broken away from the shackles of social rules, at least for the sake of social dignity, he will remind his son Scotty not to swear, not to publicize the kidnapping of Jean, and Carl will pretend to be a gentleman on dates, then Gaear is a man who has completely escaped social control. Appearance, as long as necessary, the killing will not cause him any shame or discomfort at all. The traffic policeman was shot by him, symbolizing that people and order after civilized domestication are vulnerable in the face of bestiality. And his pursuit of witnesses is like a beast that has the upper hand. Anything that threatens him can be eliminated without hesitation, completely ignoring the law and morality. This is what Marge can't understand the most, and she can't understand it, because she is the representative of human nature in a civilized society, full of love and wisdom, and she is the kind of person who should enjoy the most happiness. But looking at animal nature with human nature can only give the wrong answer. There is no reason for beasts to be bloodthirsty, money is only valuable to those who still believe in civilization, and beasts are driven only by the most primitive desires. fee.

Marge and Norm have done a great job, they really love each other and are proud of it, but everyone around them has changed, Mike's deception, the sudden murder in the town is actually a sales manager who is a totally unnecessary crime , Under such changes, fortunately they have each other and a child born in 2 months, only they can feel love and hope. Therefore, those etiquette and smiles cannot represent human nature, they are only fragile shackles that restrain or even cover up animal nature. How polite is Jerry, how decent is Wade's life, how strong is their bestiality. Scotty, on the other hand, as a kid, talking about fuck, hating embarrassing family dinners, and arguing with Jean, but in the end, he was the only one who really cared about his mother's safety and wept worriedly. The film finally revealed that if you try to restrict human beings as animals by relying only on rules and ignore the existence of animal nature in human beings, then people will easily see through these rules and regulations, and family, marriage, law, and morality can easily be overridden and become ridiculous. The decoration is used by people to play the game starring the bestiality.

    A sense of humor and suspenseful atmosphere run through, and it is rare to maintain closeness to ordinary people in a story of repeated murders.

    The Coen brothers' very well-known work won the best director at Cannes, and also allowed Cohen's wife to win the Oscar for the first time. But to be honest, I really don't understand this actress, Mrs. Cohen's acting skills are well known, but isn't this role too simple? However, Mrs. Cohen's voice in this film is so good. The Minneapolis accent is so funny, yah, yah the whole way. The Coen brothers also lied to the audience at the beginning, in fact, this film is not based on real events. The plot is still a strong Coen Brothers style. A fake kidnapping case snowballed. There is no foreshadowing, the rhythm is fast, the occasional is very large, bizarre, coincidental, accidental, full of black humor with a sense of fate. But I was disappointed that the whole film didn't create a suspenseful and tense atmosphere from start to finish. The script can be said to be a low-profile version of "No Country for the Old" in the early years, but it is far less than "The Old", without the sense of despair and oppression. It is a well-recognized film that I don't feel personally, but the look and feel is not as good as "No Country for Old Men" and "Blood Labyrinth". The Coen brothers have always made commercial films in the way of art films, and the plots are good-looking and their directing skills are superb. 7 points.
