One of the themes of this film--and this scene in particular--is that politeness does not equal goodness. Both Jerry and Marge are practitioners of "Minnesota Nice"; always seemingly appearing friendly, helpful, and positive on the outside. But only Marge is a genuinely good person on the *inside*; Jerry is in reality a greedy, duplicitous, murdering shitbag. So even though their approach to social interactions are on the surface similar, they couldn't be more different.

Jerry didn't directly murder anyone. But his incompetence and lack of control over this whole scheme he started out of desperation and yes, greed, is what ultimately got all of those people killed. Obviously, he didn't plan for anyone to get killed. Just a simple planned hire-for-kidnap scheme that completely derailed and spiraled out of control. Partially because Gaear was sociopathic and Carl was a knucklehead.

I loved it but I am originally from the Upper Midwest and I could hear people I know in the speech and cadence and mannerisms, though sometimes exaggerated. But you don’t need that personal connection. This movie works on so many levels, and IMO is a brilliant film. The acting, direction, staging, cinematography, soundtrack is all perfect. For instance, I love how the snow/flat, bleak landscape/ice is almost a character in the storyline. Always there, very evocative. I think it’s the Coens’ best work.
