Fargo


I really enjoy watching this film. Its dark and moves slower and slower into this darker space. I love the film and the soundtrack really stood out to me. I really have nothing negative to say about this film. It is a great film and a must see.
From IMDB "With all the sorry films these days it is good to see a movie as funny, wicked, dramatic, and utterly demented as "Fargo". "Fargo" was ranked on the 100 Greatest Films list in 1996 and it was well-deserved. In this age of by-the-numbers film making, this film was a refreshing flashback to the risk-taking style that made the 1970s such a great decade for movies."
Wiliam H. Macy gives a stellar performance and this is what i found to be funny. Researching on IMDB I discovered William originally pleaded for the role of Jerry Lunndegard. Its a good thing the Coen brothers ignored his pleas. Another grewat thing to look for is Bruce Cambell's appearance. He isn't physically in the film but he appears on a TV screen in the background. Its funny because Sam Raimi, who uses Bruce in some of his films, is a friend of the Coen brothers. there is a bunch of cool trivia about this film, one of my favorite being none of the film was shot in Fargo.

"What'd this guy look like anyway?"

"Oh, he was a little guy, kinda funny lookin'."

"Uh-huh. In what way?"

"Just a general way."

Great. 5 out of 5 for me.
