Yes. Most channels they ask questions and learn the answers from our comments off screen. It is satisfying to see her find the answers.

The Mike scene also has the effect of Marge discovering that she can be tricked if she feels sympathy for the person tricking her. After she finds out Mike lied to her, she goes right back to Jerry.

[@goldenageofdinosaurs7192]

Was just coming to say this. I think that scene is instrumental to Marge eventually solving the crime.

My husband and I (Minnesotans) saw Fargo in the theater and couldn't stop laughing on our way home because we kept hearing our own accents and colloquialisms while talking about the film. It made us aware of it. I'd always assumed we didn't have a regional accent. Little did I know. I have to add that the topography of Minnesota is really varied and stunning. So much more than flat farm fields. Beautiful state.

Ya know, felt at the time that Hollywood finally made a movie where people were talkin' normal.

[@SDoesNotKnow]

I’m glad to hear that. At the time, a lot of Minnesotans at the time of the movie’s release were offended by the “exaggerated” accents, but I think most people assumed it was exaggerated to some degree for comedic effect and could only be done in that way by people who are from there like the Coen Brothers were.

Peter Stormare, a Swede, said that Minnesota was more Swedish than Sweden. He went into a number of restaurants that displayed the Swedish flag and pictures of the King and Queen.

[@Rincenso]

Well, he kind of meant the opposite... we never have flags unless there's a national holiday or a birthdays. And most people that bother with a picture of the Knig (not a misspelling :P) have it on the wall in the bathroom. :)

I recently heard that when American soldiers moved into Germany in 1945, they found it to be much less foreign and more like home than the Netherlands, France, and even England. Would make sense with all the German immigrants that had gone to America just one or two generations earlier. (A lot more than even English immigrants.)

Either way, I like seeing your reaction to it!

[@movieswithsammykitty]

I love the trivia section! I always read the trivia for movies too. Frances McDormand is a master actor, and she’s so brilliant in this role. She really nails the upbeat accent talking about gruesome homicide.

[@dereknolin5986]

The scene with Mike also helps moves the plot forward, because once she realizes that he completely lied about being married, it makes her think back to her meeting with Jerry and makes her suspicious of him. If you like this movie, I'd say that the TV show is just as good if not better, at least the couple seasons I've seen. Ideally, I'd say watch the show on the channel, but it's very well made regardless. Thanks for the trivia section as usual!

Adore this movie. Really appreciate that you do the trivia bit at the end of each reaction. It’s a great way to learn more about the films. I actually wish more reactors would do stuff like that. A couple of things about Fargo that are cool to know as well: the actress who played the wife of William H. Macy isn’t the same woman who has a hood on her head in the rest of the film. That’s an extra since it cost less money to pay an extra to wear a sheet on their head. Also, there’s one distinct parking lot scene where you can see no snow in the distance since they used artificial snow in most scenes. Just a slip-up on their part.

[@neils123]

I really enjoy your trip to the trivia section. Please keep doing that!

[@resin_Hd]

A pretty cool piece of Coen Bros trivia is that because they had Buscemi’s character doing all the talking in Fargo, that when Steve was cast in Lebowski the script called for Goodman’s character to always tell Buscemi to “Shut the f*^k up!”

[@danhalstead705]

This is a Minnesota accent, not midwest. The midwest accent is more generic and is considered the closest to a stereotypical American accent. It's therefore what gets chosen for many of the nationwide newscasters and journalists.

lol it surely is our accent, it's just not as strong with most people anymore. Gotta go up North to find people with accents as strong as the movie implies. But since so many of us are Norwegian/Swedish/Finnish, that accent (which is basically just how people from those countries sound speaking English) will always probably be somewhat present!

[@markgoguen8698]

Fargo is one of my favorite films. This is one of the few films I’ve seen where you just FEEL the screenplay. Of course a lot of credit goes to the performances, but the screenplay is so strong. I strongly recommend watching the FX series, even if you don’t do a reaction for it. Definitely a great series.

Great movie! Great reaction! We recently lost one of the truly amazing actors. William Hurt had an incredible career. I wanted to suggest that you react to one of his movies to honor his life. I would suggest the amazing drama Children of a Lesser God (1986), the comedy/drama/romance Broadcast News (1987), the crime/detective thriller Gorky Park (1983) that takes place in Cold War Soviet Union, or The Big Chill (1983), the movie that really defined a generation. You can’t wrong with these or any of his films.

Peter Stormare plays in a band called "Blonde from Fargo" named after his role in this movie. At one point Peter Stormare was talking to a director about a part in a movie and the director asked him if he would be able to give a performance similar to that blonde guy from Fargo, not knowing that it was Stormare who had played that role. Stormares reply was simply no, that would be too hard for him.

That's so funny! Winter of '95? My friend was on a cross-country skiing trip in Minnesota then. I was watching the weather news and was worried for him. They had a low of -60F during his trip. Luckily he is the most prepared hiker/biker/camper ever. Afterwards he said he still had a couple pieces of clothing that he hadn't used yet, but some of the other people were hurting. And they were filming this movie at the same time. What a hoot! Oh, he didn't actually know how cold it was because their thermometer stopped at -30F - probably a mercury one. Mercury goes solid at -40 so the thermometer is not doing well at -30F.

One of the best movies ever! I love how the criminals are all so amazingly stupid. Jerry pays ex cons with a car that can be traced back to where he works. He's paying them $40k to pick up a bag with a million dollars in it. The kidnappers forget to put their tags on their car. Carl thinks he's being smart by stealing plates from another car, but then chooses a place that probably has cameras and then makes a huge scene with the toll gate guy to make sure he is clearly remembered. It goes on and on. The only smart character in the story, besides Margie, is Jerry's kid who asks all the questions that the adults should be asking. It's total Keystone cops!

[@ComicCrossing]

Well the 40k thing wasnt really Jerrys fault was it? He intended to take the money himself but the father in law insisted on doing it instead. He wouldve switched out the money and given the 80k to the ransomers who wouldve assumed that was all the money.

As a big Coen fan, I can only recommend you to watch all of them, even the few duds I wasn't that impressed with (Intolerable Cruelty and The Ladykillers). And watch them in order to see their progress in filmmaking, even if they started strong with Blood Simple (and yes, Frances McDormand was in that too almost 40 years ago). If you twist my arm to recommend one, it has to be Miller's Crossing from 1994, even if Frances only has a small uncredited role. It has people that have become standard cast of the Coens, like Steve Buscemi, John Turturro and Jon Polito. But the real star is the late Albert Finney who has his most badass movie moment before lighting up his cigar in the street. I'm vague to avoid spoilers. But the movie is mostly about hats, according to the Coens. :)

[@sailorflight-deck7052]

@donkfail...really enjoyed watching "Millers Crossing"...its one of those movies which would fall under the category of "if you had the whole week-end and you had to pick 5 and only 5 movies to watch " Millers Crossing would be on that list and of course "Fargo"..

While I generally consider 'No Country for Old Men' as my favorite film of all time, I actually think 'Barton Fink' might be my favorite Coen brothers film. I was lucky enough to see every film from 'Blood Simple' to 'The Man Who Wasn't There' in theaters on their initial release, but have actually missed a few of the later ones, that I need to catch up on, especially 'A Serious Man' and 'Burn After Reading'.

oh, something that I recognized from a later show (No Country for Old Men) was the 'headlights on the horizon' which opened a new plot sequence.

I grew up in a rural area with lots of farmland. It really does get like that in the winter. Just a flat, white void in every direction. No protection from the wind, so snow is blowing in front of you, all over the road, and it keeps pushing your vehicle, so you're constantly compensating for that. Luckily it's also a perfectly straight, very level stretch of road, but it could be terrifying in the winter.

Oh, also, the buried money that is left unaccounted for comes back into play in the Fargo TV series, which you would think couldn't match the movie but is aMAZing.

As computer programmers we often use code names for projects while they are in development. One extensive data processing application I worked on took in data from a variety of sources and created a single stream of combined data to be inserted into a massive database. It's code name was "Trapper." But as often happens last minute changes were demanded and the single stream became first a handful and then a dozen or more streams of data coming out the bottom of the process. After seeing the movie _Fargo_ one of the programmers noted that our clean and efficient application had become a "bloody mess" much like the wood chipper from the movie. After that the development team began to refer to the project as "Chipper."
