The usual style of the Coen brothers: some uncertainty of fate! It is difficult to do good, and easy to do evil. Good is like climbing a mountain, evil is like falling into the abyss...

A seemingly bizarre case, in fact, simple and clear.
A son-in-law who has desires, but cannot earn the "mane" that satisfies him. So he came up with the ghost idea of ​​kidnapping his wife and blackmailing the rich father-in-law.
The kidnappers he invited were two stupid thieves. So... all kinds of accidents happened one after another:
1. When the traffic police checked the car, kill them;
2. When they encountered witnesses, passers-by, a man and a woman, kill them;
3. If they could not negotiate with the rich father-in-law, kill them;
4. Stupid and irritable, If you can't stand the noise of the kidnapped people, kill them;
5. Uneven distribution of stolen goods, falling out, black people eat black people, kill them.
In the Cohen series, I have the impression that I have seen "Burn after reading", "Blood Maze", and this film, all of which are murders related to marriage.
Looking forward to the forthcoming fourth movie that will be a different style. In this type of film, sensory stimulation is greater than social warning and life thinking. So deduct 2 stars.

    I was shocked to see the shredder scene NB

    1. The simple empty lens always seems to have more meaning, but it is not shot, and it does not make good use of the setting of the snow scene. 2. The whole story line is still mainstream and too simple, not strong enough, and the rhythm is too slow. 3. "Well, yah." a thousand times.

Fargo quotes

  • [repeated line]

    Wade Gustafson: No Jean, no money!

  • Irate Customer: We sat right here, in this room, and went over this and over this.

    Jerry Lundegaard: Yeah, but that TruCoat...

    Irate Customer: I sat right here and said I didn't want any TruCoat.

    Jerry Lundegaard: Yeah, but I'm saying that TruCoat. You don't get it, you get oxidation problems. It'll cost you a heck of a lot more than $500.

    Irate Customer: You're sitting there. You're talking in circles. You're talking like we didn't go over this already.

    Jerry Lundegaard: Yeah, but this TruCoat...

    Irate Customer: We had a deal here for nineteen-five. You sat there and darned if you didn't tell me you'd get me this car, these options, without the sealant for nineteen-five.

    Jerry Lundegaard: All right, I'm not saying I didn't...

    Irate Customer: You called me 20 minutes ago and said you had it ready to make delivery! You says, "Come on down and get it." And, and, and here you are and you're wasting my time and my wife's time, and I'm paying nineteen-five for this vehicle here!

    Jerry Lundegaard: All right. I'll talk to my boss.

    [gets up and turns before leaving]

    Jerry Lundegaard: See, they install that TruCoat at the factory. There's nothing we can do about that.

    [Customer ready to shout]

    Jerry Lundegaard: but I'll talk to my boss.

    Irate Customer: These guys here. These guys. It's always the same! It's always more!
