Takako Konishi (1973 - November 2001) was a Japanese office worker from Tokyo whose body was found by a bow hunter in a field outside Detroit Lakes, Minnesota on November 15, 2001. Konishi had originally arrived in Minneapolis earlier that month, traveled to Bismarck, North Dakota, then to Fargo, North Dakota and finally to Detroit Lakes, Minnesota where she died. Her death was ruled a suicide, but some erroneous media stories at the time reported that she, under the mistaken impression[1] that the 1996 film Fargo was based on a true story, had died trying to locate the money hidden by Steve Buscemi's character, Carl Showalter.

[@elitescarecrowgaming4713]

Certain events in the plot are somewhat inspired by things that happened in real life, but that’s the same for almost every film in existence. The reason the film says “this is a true story” is to tel you that everything that happens in that story happens for a reason. The show “Fargo” continues that trend and expands on it.

[@CommanderxShepard]

It’s a double play of words, it’s based off a true story, that doesn’t mean it’s based off actually events, stories don’t have to have happened, little red riding hood is just a story, just as as Fargo is a story that was told and made into a movie, maybe not a well known story but a story nonetheless. The other thing it is doing is stating that everything in the movie happened in the “Fargo Universe” it’s saying it’s all true to the story.

Under a microscope, he found matching pairs of wood chips who's groove marks lined up with the ridges of the blades in the wood chipper, like matching fingerprints. If you can imagine trying to find matching needles between 2 haystacks made out of chips, that's how laborious it was.

Getting married to Sylvia and then meeting Robert and Fernando must have really rejuvenated Lou because he really took everything up a notch at this time.

The same thing was done to boost ticket sales for "Macon County Line". The film was purely fictitious but a crawl in the beginning said it was a true story. The reason for that was because "Walking Tall", which was based on a true story started to do huge numbers after they suffered lagging ticket sales. The bad initial box office for "Walking Tall" was caused by a mediocre ad campaign. The poster's artwork depicted the protagonist carrying a shotgun.

A masterpiece of a movie that spawned the wonderful offshoots, each enjoyable in their own way.

Watched this movie when I was a young kid with my dad. The woodchipper scene effed me up pretty good.
