Fargo (Special Edition) Reviews
fargo review
If you thought this movie was hilarous, you're almost as bad as the movie's villans. Marge would shake her head at you too. Don't people get that? I noticed this movie copy the same trick as Seinfeld say one thing or word often enough, some people find outrageously amusing for some reason. I just call it lazy but of course, my expectations for comedy may be higher than others. The movie becomes so wrapped up in creating needless scenes for the characters to say the same dialogue that it completely forgets it's own story, leaving the death of one of it's main characters(the very reason the story is supposed to begun- Jean) as footnote. Viewers who watch the film to see find out the fate of Jean will feel cheated especially after the chilling scene where Carl and Gaer break into her home. Sure, her fate is revealed but the viewers do not get to find out what happened or provoked it. It happens off screen and the time is filled instead with empty scenes like Carl talking to the escort or the scenes of people eating constantly. This movie is poorly put together and I was surprised that people could laugh at this. I guess people have become such snobs that if they hear a different accent other than their own, they find it amusing to look down on others. Also, the movie has quite a few plot holes. I thought this movie wasn't that great so I would recomend renting it and seeing it first before buying it
Wintry, tragic, somehow humorous, with excellent performances
Fargo is one of the best films of the 1990's. It revolves around a bizzarre kidnapping scheme that unexpectedly leads to murder. Filled with cold settings, quirky characters, and excellent performances, Fargo is an excellent film.
The central characters of the film are an overextended car salesman (William H. Macy), a pregnant police chief (Frances McDormand), and two kidnappers (Steve Buscemi and Peter Stormare). William H. Macy's character is not a good person, but Macy's excellent performance is able to make us feel his pain. Frances McDormand's character is well mannered, and strong willed, which is great to see in a female character. She definately deserved her oscar for her performance.
Steve Buscemi is great as always. His character is a criminal, but is somewhat likeable. Peter Stormare's character is underrated. His character is a psychopath who hardly ever says anything. His actions show his aggresiveness without even needing to say anything. I would rank his character as one of the best psychopaths, up there with Frank Booth from Blue Velvet and Tommy DeVito from Goodfellas.
The plot is pretty simple, but you still need to pay attention in order to understand it. Part of what I really liked about this movie is how the plot is simple, but the Coen Brothers managed to create a story of kidnapping gone wrong and murder without having an overly complex plot.
The score is very affective. It has a celtic feel to it and expresses the mood of the midwest perfectly.
The way the film is shot resembles Stanley Kubrick's style, as every shot is like a perfectly drawn picture.
I recommend Fargo at all costs. It has a wintry feeling that stays with you hours after you've seen it.
