It's wonderful that Ms. McDormand shares these stories and is so honest and real. I think I know her secret. She doesn't need you to watch this video. She doesn't need to you adore her. She has an indomitable spirit and zest for life, and acting is one expression of that. It shines through in every role she plays. Everyone watching wishes they were just a bit more like Frances 😀.

Frances McDormand is brilliant, wildly versatile, and one of a kind. No casting director is likely to say, 'We need a Frances McDormand type.' Like Rosalind Russell or Shelly Duvall, McDormand's is the only one that was made. But she also has the rare ability to transform herself, like Meryl Streep.

I just rewatched this movie and was amazed at how tightly written it is. Every relationship is complicated and many are intertwined. Frances McDormand's portrayal of Abby is great. She's sort of a sphinx and as as result the men in her life seem to project their insecurities on her. She's the only person in he movie who never pretends like they know what's going on. Meanwhile, the men her around think they do and whether they're right or wrong, they make horrible decisions based on what they're thinking. Abbie is sort of a false 'Medea' character... in the Film Noir sense not the Tyler Perry sense.

Blood Simple was my first exposure to the Coen brothers' genius. It is probably their least known film and most under rated work. The buried alive scene in the movie was probably the scene that most freaked me out the first time I saw the movie. There are so many truly horrific scenes within Blood Simple that it would be easy to categorize it as a horror film as much as it is a great example of film noir.
