[@SilentCheechGaming1991]

No. The accent Is awful. The movie portrays a Minnesota accent. Most north dakotans don't sound like that at all. That is my biggest annoyance with the movie. I'm sure I have an accent but it's quite mild with only a few words that stick out compared to other regions. Most of us sound more like Steve Buscemi's character. The "Oh Yas!" And "don't ya know" is a Minnesota thing

[@abemrofchak]

MY FAVORITE MOVIE. I think it's just pure good versus pure evil. Everything Marge does is so kind and almost naive and sweet and she does truly grow when she's confronted with Peter Stormare committing senseless violence (like you pointed out, at all just feels blunt and awful). There may have just a wave of violence that comes into their very nice peaceful community but it's over and Marge is gonna have a baby and Norm's drawing is gonna be on the three cent stamp so there's still goodness and compassion in the world.

[@TheMess9898]

Frances won a very well deserved Oscar for her performance. Brilliant.

[@MIISSSIIX]

The fact that they continue this arc of “mundane people get mixed up with horrible things & gradually make the choices to continue which leads to more horrible things” in 4 seasons of incredibly riveting television, is very impressive.

[@sheilaburns8977]

I was thinking about watching the TV series, especially since I heard Billy Bob Thornton was in Season 1, but after your insightful comment, Fargo is definitely my next watched series. Thanks. ... PEACE to ALL.

[@cryptogentic]

A very common theme in the Cohen Brother's films is putting people in a situation they are just not equipped to handle; with dark and/or comic results depending on the theme of the movie. They just can't grasp the evil they have unleashed or the malevolence around them. We just get to watch the story spin out of control with the protagonist no longer running the show. For a comic version of this, I'd recommend The Big Lebowski.

[@JamesVSCinema]

That’s exactly the thought process I had along with their style of filmmaking and I love it!

[@Huntress59]

O Brother Where Art Thou is a Coen Brother movie, too. Definitely need to watch that one.

[@dnllrnt]

Another Coen Brothers movie that's really under the radar, Big Lebowski?

[@RavenTheVelociraptor]

The fact that the cop didn't die in this film and there was a happy ending for that couple makes me happy. Jeez louis, I was so scared for her. But now Dieter Stark's death will feel even more satisfying. because boy, what a monster. Peter Stormaire is a legend. Also, I want to point out the way that the axe murder was shot. We experience it. We see the guy walk out of the house. He's got his wounded mouth, he's worried about that, we're focused on it too. Then Peter opens the door a few seconds later, we were just talking to him a second ago. Wait is that an axe- OH SH- And just like that it's over. It's fast, it happens in two seconds, and we can't even blink. It's over.

Fargo isn't a real story movie but inspired from similar events happening in America.

[@SouthDakotaFacts]

Lightest sounding accent in the Dakotas vs heaviest accent in Minnesota

[@Salguine]

One of my favorite elements of this film is the way Marge and her husband Norm are presented as the contrast to everything else. We see it in the way they look out for each other and take care of each other. Like when we're first introduced to them, she's been woken up and has to go out on a call, and he insists on getting up and making her breakfast, even though he could still sleep; and how again, at the end, he's really down about his painting only being chosen for the three-cent stamp, she knows exactly the right thing to say to cheer him up. Seeing how they care for each other provides a nice, and necessary, counterpoint to all the other ugliness and greed and brutality we see happen in the world around them.

Marge and Norm are one of my favorite movie couples. If i was told they were a real life couple i would have believed it. The actors have great chemistry.

[@krautgazer]

Fargo is one of my top 5 favorite movies. I've watched it multiple times and to this day it is also the only movie that I've rewatched right after watching it - yes, just like putting a song you really like on repeat, I watched the movie and when it finished I put it in the beginning again and rewatched it. Every sequence, every scene, every shot, every frame of this is perfect, and all the writing and acting in this film is a tour de force. Every detail in this film serves the plot beautifully - the Mike Yanagita subplot, for example, made Marge realize she couldn't trust the word of Jerry Lundegaard, since both lied to her and she didn't pick up on it, so that made her go back to him and eventually solve the crime. Also, their interactions are an acting class, just superb - no wonder they were both nominated for the Oscars, with Frances McDormand actually winning it. You really need to watch more Coen brothers. Their filmography is extensive but SO ABSOLUTELY CRAZY GOOD. I'd recommend Barton Fink, The Big Lebowski, A Serious Man, Miller's Crossing, Inside Llewyn Davis, Burn After Reading, Raising Arizona and The Man Who Wasn't There. Yes, all of those. I'm pretty sure you won't regret because their style is so idiosyncratic and if you loved Fargo and No Country for Old Men, it's just gonna be a feast for you.

3:00 “It really does feel like a Western, because of the music” Fargo actually is a sort of “modern-day Western” in a lot of ways... Honestly it kind of paved the way for something like Breaking Bad- In both you have a mild-mannered, middle-aged suburban guy with a boring life who turns to a secret life of crime that soon spirals out of his control
