[@caveritt82489]

Marge and Norm are one of my favorite movie couples. Supportive, loving, and uncomplicated!

[@awesomegary9798]

The Mike Yanagita scene seems weird until you realize it leads Marge to her most important revelation: she's too trusting. She goes back to question Jerry after finding out Mike was lying to her.

[@unclebounce1495]

Common theory but I strongly disagree. Going back for follow-ups is routine in investigations. She wasn't expecting anytning when she went back, which is why she was completely surprised when he fled the interview.

[@wyldhowl2821]

I never thought about it that way, but it makes more sense now. I previously thought it was just a weird side-story that the Coen Bros put in there for background.

[@rls684]

I think it was more that she realizes that people were not what they presented themselves to be.

[@Hal9000x]

You’re all off. The side story is in order to make Marge reconsider her life and appreciate it more. After she understands the main story, about those people making all this mess for "a little bit of money", and with that whole Mike situation where his life sucks, she goes and say "there’s more to life than a little money". At the end, in bed with her husband, she’s thinking about her life (also thinking about Mike and the investigation) and say "heck we’re doing pretty good" to her husband. Then excited about the birth of their kid. The whole time we see their wholesome relationship, the simple things make them happy. Greed is one of the main themes of the Coen’s filmography. The Mike story is there to realize one’s own life, and how there’s a lot to like and to be satisfied with. Greed always leads Coen’s characters into bad trouble. Marge isn’t like that.

[@Cheepchipsable]

Yes, she has a moment of realisation when on the phone with the friend who says the pretend wife wasn't dead. It whole meeting was a bit of a clunky inclusion IMHO. I think she was just determined to be more assertive and of course didn't expect Jerry to do a runner. She had no real reason to believe he was connected to murders, (Police didn't know the wife was kidnapped or the FIL was dead), she just wanted an answer about the car.

[@bhbluebird]

Peter Stormare with that "dead behind the eyes" look was scary in this movie.

[@marcuspi999]

You cut out the last scene! It was so perfect. Damn. The significance of the story is how strong this woman is. She's got a strong tater tot hot dish caserole accent. She's 8 months pregnant. She solves a horrific multi homicide crime and bags the bad guy, all while keeping a level head in the arctic tundra weather. So they're in bed and she doesn't even burden her husband with her day because he's disappointed that his duck painting that was going on a postage stamp was only a three center (3¢). She built up his ego and made him proud of himself.

[@RobinT-treehugger]

Not really a true story. Cohen Brothers did that to make it even more frightening/believable. Such a GREAT movie.

[@SamJackson-xu1py]

True but its believable enough.

I like how Jerry only fled to Bismark and then stopped in plain sight. It's like a three hour drive lol. He's just such an idiot and the worst person throughout, like when the accountant has to remind him he has a son.

[@Perebynis]

The Coen brothers are just damn good storytellers. Never had a boring and/or bad movie. And Frances McDormand is one of my favorite actresses; "Fargo" is one of the reasons why.

[@brettmuir5679]

Francis Mcdormand won an Oscar for her performance in this movie. She is also the wife of Joel Coen. That is how the cookie crumbles - to quote BJ. Love you two. Waiting for the next one :)

[@brettmuir5679]

@@unclefester6501 "A Simple Man"

[@mikethemotormouth]

Blood Simple is another reason why

[@campusmartius8450]

It's pretty hit or miss with the Coen brothers. Sometimes they stink (The Ladykillers, A Serious Man, Hail, Caesar!), other times brilliant (Raising Arizona, Fargo, Millers Crossing, No Country for Old Men)

[@BradSchmor]

Personally, I think Burn After Reading is even better.

[@GuarmaRummy]

This is my favorite Fargo reaction ever because Asia and BJ clearly know more about car dealerships than the filmmakers want them to lol

[@thatcarlchick7655]

Right?! That, and BJ's knowledge of the Sierra's desirability status circa '87 really tickled me. I've never seen that particular knowledge in a reaction video, and I AM HERE FOR IT. Love y'all's reactions!

[@VoluntaryistJapan]

William H. Macy is such a phenomenal actor... The way he looks so nervous and afraid. Looks so freaking real.

[@Lepidopray]

I love the speech at the end...."all that for a little bit of money. And here it is, such a beautiful day." Camera pans out to a bleak winter snowscape 😂😂. It's all about the attitude you carry with with you.

[@shainewhite2781]

YES!! One of the best dark comedy crime films ever made. Even though it says it's based on a true story, it's actually loosely based on a real incident in 1987, where an airline pilot planned to have his wife killed and take her life insurance policy.

[@Cheepchipsable]

No it's not. Cohen's admitted as much.

[@Lethgar_Smith]

Not a true story but you know what? There are thousands of true stories out there that are just as weird and tragic as this one. Alex Murdaugh, for one.

[@77Creation]

The wood chipper scene is based on Helle Crafts, so...yes and no. @@Cheepchipsable

[@shadypelican]

You can never go wrong with a Coen Brothers film. Your next choice pretty much HAS to be 'No Country for Old Men'. It's a slow burn, but a masterpiece.

[@xzonia1]

I really didn't like No Country for Old Men the first time I watched it, but I've re-watched it several times over the years since then and it's grown on me. Don't want to say more and spoil anything, but I will be interested how it hits them on their first viewing.

[@rickcole349]

I watched all their movies since Raising Arizona as it was released.

[@williamscoggin1509]

Over and over again Frances McDormand is wonderful and everything she Stars in. This movie is an absolute classic!! 😅

[@danwilliams2551]

This movie strikes a bizarre and unforgettable tone because it depicts the criminals as lazy, rash, unhappy, violent, and incompetent, then Marge as friendly, wholesome, life-loving, and actually really good at her job. Like the scene where Marge still sounds so upbeat and lighthearted while she's literally looking at a triple homicide. She's so happy with her simple life and the criminals are miserable people who just dig their lives deeper.

[@thesprawl2361]

It's a morality play. good and evil.

[@Cheepchipsable]

It's meant to be a kind of farce. Marge probably doesn't see a lot of serious crime, so it's easier to maintain her cheerful disposition.

[@julietfischer5056]

Criminals aren't exactly clever. That's why there was a show called 'World's Dumbest Criminals' and corresponding books.

[@thesprawl2361]

It feels a little like some Brothers Grimm fairy tale. It has that curdled evil vs wholesome goodness feel to it.

[@alexgoenne1689]

Criminals are unhappy? No!

[@EShelby2127]

30:15 - As someone who was born and raised in Minnesota, I can tell it was not really cold. There was running water in the gutter and you could not see their breath... the big hoods were just for looks. If it's over 32 degrees in the winter, it's BALMY WARM!

[@DuchessFatima]

One of my all time favorite movies! Frances McDormand is brilliant!

[@xzonia1]

She is! I often get Frances McDormand and Toni Collette confused and can't remember who did which movie because they look so much alike. They're both amazing actresses though! :D

Now that you've watched FARGO (the movie), you should watch FARGO the series. There are just ten episodes per season. They are some of the best shows ever made! The first season was fantastic. The second season was even better. The third season was pretty good. The fourth season (starring Chris Rock) is amazing. The fifth season begins next week. All of the seasons are connected (and also connected with the film).

[@laudanum669]

The first season is fantastic. Billy Bob Thornton is one hell of a bad guy.

@@SueSnellLives I actually liked Season 4 quite a bit. Season 3 was just okay...until the last few episodes (which were great). I agree that seasons 1 and 2 are fantastic.

[@SurvivorBri]

The Mike Yanakeeda (sp) scene was extremely important to the plot. His goal was to lie his way into Margie's heart. Margie didn't go for it but she did believe his lies. Later on when she found out that Mike's tearful story was BS, it got her thinking about the interview with Lundergard and that he probably wasn't being truthful to her. She went with that and it helped turn the course of the investigation.

“It sure look edible right now” comment had me cracking 😂. 👍🏼

OK, I have to say this. The most realistic thing about this movie is that the mistakes the criminals make are very much the kind of really stupid mistakes real criminals make. Forgetting to put legal tags on a car you are using to kidnap someone! I mean, please. But you would be amazed how many criminals get pulled over for a stupid reason like that.

[@killianlpc]

Fargo is another brilliant Coen Brothers film. William H Macy and Steve Buscemi just brilliant in it, as was Frances McDormand. Even though it is a serious subject it still has that slapstick vibe about it with some great comedy moments. Of course at first we think the kidnappers are some kinda rank amateurs, that maybe the case but Grimsrud is a total psychopath. A trail of crazy needless destruction but still it manages to make great comedy out of all this. Another superb Coen brothers film along with Raising Arizona, Crimewave and the hilarious Burn After Reading and The Big Lebowski among others.

[@rpg7287]

I live in Connecticut and our contribution to this story is that we had a doctor who lived here who was accused of murdering his wife and putting her body through a wood chipper. I think the Coens found the story interesting and included the wood chipper in their movie.

[@slogan1980]

Fargo is not based on a true story, but it is inspired by one. The Cohen brothers are sneaky this way.

[@metaempiricist]

They are sneakier than you think. They admitted there is no truth to the story at all. Totally made up and they did it because putting "based on a true story" boosts sales.

[@nicebluejay]

filmmakers shouldn't be able to say it's a true story when it isn't, that's just lame, not sneaky -- classic movie nonetheless.

The Fourth Kind also claims to be a true story, and dumb me believed it when I watched it because I thought they couldn't say that if it's not true (and also I'd seen Fire in the Sky which is actually based on real events so saw no reason why this one couldn't be as well), and later I found out The Fourth Kind is not based on actual events, but just loosely based on UFO phenomenon in general but definitely a work of fiction. Really made me look stupid telling someone hey, that movie happened! and they were like lol, no it didn't. Ugh. They got me good. At least I knew Fargo wasn't real because I'm a true crime buff and had never heard of a case like that one, went and looked for it, and couldn't find one that happened quite like that, so thankfully never went around telling people it really happened.

[@roccaclassico9028]

Hello Asia & BJ!😊 This was one of my mother's favorite films. This is not based on a true story. It was inspired by real life events. The accents in this film are GOLD! Jerry embezzled that $320,000 against cars that didn't even exist. That is why he supplied phony VIN numbers to GMAC (General Motors Financing). We never see Jerry doing drugs, so I presume he lost the money gambling. Ya, Mike turned out to be a freekazoid. Jerry inadvertently caused the deaths of 7 people in this film.

Fantastic movie. The Coen Brothers strike again. Although it says at the beginning that this is a true story, it is not, though it _is_ based on several news bits about unrelated cases that they used to tell the story. The bit with the woodchipper is something you don't soon forget. The Coens are famous for graphic realism but with dark humor inserted here and there. Another one of their movies, "No Country For Old Men" is highly recommended.

[@nickstark8640]

I imagine you already discovered this movie was completely fabricated. The brothers who wrote it intentionally misled the audience to make it more interesting. It’s such a well acted movie and your reactions were very entertaining. Yay, you betcha

It’s was loosely based on the murder of Helle Crafts…

[@xzonia1]

@@slyphwingReally, the only part they took from that case is the woodchipper. Her husband was having an affair, she wanted a divorce, so he killed her and told people she was visiting relatives and stuff, and he used a woodchipper to dispose of her body because at that time, no one had ever been convicted of murder in their state without a body to prove they were dead. Her case was the first time a murderer was convicted without a victim's body being found in Connecticut. No kidnapping or any of the other events in Fargo happened in the Crafts' case.

Fun Fact: Steve Buscemi directed the Pine Barrens episode of The Sopranos you just watched not that long ago.

In Minnesota they say, "If we're lucky summer will be on a weekend this year."

[@Dylan_Platt]

Pretty sure it's impossible to watch this movie and NOT spend the next few days saying "oh yah? Yah!!" 😂

[@scottcortmeister4164]

My favorite couple reacting to one of my favorite movies! You two are "must see", what a journey! 😊

[@Jared_Wignall]

I love Fargo. Defiantly one of the best comedies ever made and my favorite Coen Brothers film. Great to see you guys watch this, I hope you two are doing well, keep up the great work. Take care!

[@wyldhowl2821]

If you see the Fargo TV series, in one of the seasons they refer to a person having found the bag of money by that fence sometime later.

[@Uncle-Charlie]

The two Jerry hired both were in The Big Lebowski. Great job Asia & BJ!

[@wheelmanstan]

The series is almost Soprano level good. Definitely worth watching.

Nr 2 :) Greetings from Simrishamn, Sweden.. Oh ja!

[@davidfieldsend]

If you liked this one, check out No Country For Old Men and Millers Crossing too by the same writer/director Coen brothers

[@ThistleAndSea]

Nice one, A & BJ! One of my favorite Coen Brothers movie is Miller's Crossing, old school gangsters. 🙂 Thanks for sharing this one!

[@TonyVsSportsShortsandMore]

The funniest thing is that the Coen brothers who wrote and directed the movie admitted that it wasn’t actually based on a true story but rather inspired by bits and pieces of other stories that they combined with their own ideas. Crazy. Thanks for another great video.

[@Jupiterblitz]

I really appreciate how you have tried 37:30 to clarify the background behind Jerry's trouble with money in comprehensive. I have guessed gambling, either. Maybe you like to watch another movie by the Coen brothers: "Miller's Crossing" - a very sophisticately told story of two competing mobsters during the prohibition.

[@auntvesuvi3872]

Many thanks to Asia & BJ! 🥶 Everything written and directed by the Coen Brothers (Joel & Ethan), I've enjoyed.

Norwegian and Scandinavian immigrants moved to Minnesota. The buffet with the meatballs is traditional Scandinavian food.

[@MADM0NK]

Fun fact, if you watch the credits you will see that Prince was in this movie. He was the passenger in the car that drove by in the State Trooper scene.

[@MisterHoodrich89]

I had a rough day yesterday, but seeing the two of y'all react to one of my all-time favorite movies definitely made it better!

[@9876babyboy]

Macy plays a guy that is stuck and has no way out so well! You can feel his desperation!

[@mgordon1100]

He does that well. Basically did the same thing in Magnolia.

[@jmuduke99]

So glad you two are watching this!! My favorite movie of ALL TIME!!!!
