Both are deeply cynical movies about humanity.
In Fargo, how evil these people are is masked by folksy accents and a bright white snowy landscape.
But in Fargo, there is a slight glimmer of redemption and happiness.
It’s close but I think I like Fargo just a little bit more.
Maybe that’s why.
In No Country, evil is a force that can not be stopped.
In Fargo, people are selfish and greedy.
Is this how the Coens perceive our society?
Looking back, it’s wild that Macy didn’t win the Best Supporting Actor Oscar.
This was the year Cuba Gooding Jr. won for Jerry Maguire.
Rod Tidwell is a great character but what are we doing here?
This whole plan was doomed from the start.
Why take a car from your own lot?
Why ask the mechanic you work with to help you find kidnappers?
Jerry Lundegaard is the epitome of a desperate man doing desperate things.
This was Frances McDormand’s first Oscar.
She won 4!).
Her portrayal of Marge is my favorite of her career.
You don’t even see her in the first half hour of the movie.
But when she enters the movie, she takes it over.
I know a lot of people don’t care for the stuff with Mike.
Just because someone looks pleasant and says nice things, doesn’t make them a decent person.
The side characters in Fargo are all outstanding.
Wade, Father-in-law is a perfect rich asshole.
It’s perfect casting with Steve Buscemi as Carl and Peter Stormare as Gaear.
You see the boiling anger within Gaear as the movie keeps going.
It all pays off with the wood chipper too.
It’s a pretty short movie with a runtime of only 98 minutes.
I like the Fargo show a lot but not nearly as much as the movie.
