Jerry Lundergaard is a failed business man, arranges to have his wife kidnapped for ransom, and defrauds a bank. Jerry's vocabulary, full of "heck's" and "geez's", barely mask the horror and tendency to take his word on his intentions. Marge Gunderson’s character is a...

My first impression of FARGO was "yes! Steve Buscemi is in this!" Then as the scene progressed it seemed almost surreal. William H. Macy using a ridiculously goofy Minnesotan accent to ask two seedy thugs to kidnap his own wife to get ransom money to pay for an...

Fargo in my opinion was pretty good. The way they used the shots made the movie way more dramatic. The music choice would help thicken the scene by adding a sense of drama to the movie. Like when the music was playing when the guy shot the 3 people added some suspense...

After watching the middle and ending of Fargo I thoroughly enjoyed and took note of the irony and crude humor elements in the dialogue and action. While the plot is based around numerous grisly murders and crime, the added sense of comedy whether it be the Minnesotan...

Fargo provides a caricature of a specific part of our country- Minnesota. The characters all brandish heavy accents, and speak with mannerisms unique to the region. The humor of the film lies in the fact that such simple, homely characters get involved in such...

Fargo is a one of kind movie. It is a dark comedy. Jerry decides he needs to pay his bills so he gets his mechanic Shep to call a couple of his buddies to kidnap Jerrys wife. Jerry thinks because his father in law is so wealthy he will pay the ransom but his father in...

Fargo is a quality movie. The actors are a good choice for this movie. Steve is a great actor and can put himself in any position and make a movie good. The camera angles show the actors emotions like when the grandfather gets shot. The tall man who's the accomplice...

First: This story is set up in a twisted way. The husband needs money but will go to the extent of getting his wife kidnapped. Because all he could think about is money it lead to the dead of his wifes dad. He put his family at risk and many people died because he...

The actors had distinct characteristics and motives. The point of view is not first person meaning it is projected as happening now. I really like the film because it is funny and suspenseful.

Fargo is really well done. The shots are unique, especially those of the birds eye views. I loved the initial ones of Paul Bunyan. The characters (even though these were real people) are incredibly well portrayed. I really loved the scene with Mike and Marge in the...

My first impression of the film Fargo are the many interesting ways they use different lighting to stir up certain emotions and set the scene. In the nighttime shooting scene, they use crisp dim light to create feelings of unease and a nervous type of thrill. They...

Fargo is very strange so far. The shot of the window during her kidnapping stands out to me because the dramatic pause as the kidnappers ponder whether she has jumped makes the scene increasingly interesting. Even the husband is confused until he decides that money is...

Fargo, like other Coen Brothers' films, is a dark comedy. However, Fargo seems to be somewhat darker than their other films, as it centers on a staged abduction and a string of murders. There are still comical elements though, such as the heavy accents of the...

So far I am really enjoying Fargo! I really love the bird's eye view camera angles. I also really like the different attitudes of each character especially Steve Buscemi's character because he is very funny. I like how the comedy is a little morbid but still funny.
