The best thing about this movie is the relationship between Marge and Norm. Look at how they take care of each other. When she gets the call in the middle of the night, he insists on getting up to make her breakfast even though she tells him he can still sleep. And at the end, when he's all bummed about his painting only making the three-cent stamp, she knows exactly the right thing to say to cheer him up. The way they look after each other, they're like a rock of stability in the middle of all the ugliness and chaos around them. It grounds the whole movie.

There's a lot of scandinavian "vibe" in this movie, and as a Norwegian from Norway, in Norway, I'm really amused by it! Most of it is just the typical "Minnesota nice"-thing, but I particularily love the melancholic fiddle-tunes that are played, especially towards the end, for instance when Margie drives the cop car away, along with the ambulance. Those melodies, the slow, sad fiddles, they really hit right home, and give the movie an even deeper "nordic" feel :D
@Diegesis2 жыл бұрын
Is Minnesota nice a thing in Scandinavia? I thought the vibe up there was cold and aloof?
@zegh85782 жыл бұрын
We kind of are "cold and aloof" as you say, it's more of an ingrained sense of "minding your own business", that can be seen as cold and aloof by people who come from places of higher social density, more activity The way I understand "Minnesota nice" though, is a certain sense of naivetee, that you'd get from a place or a people not used to the big, wild, metropolitan world - and that is definitely something I recognize!

Most of the "vibes" are Swedish though - over a quarter of a million Swedes came to Minnesota between 1850 and 1930. In 2020 Minnesota had 7 % of its population being of Swedish origin, making the Swedes by far the biggest Nordic group.

You really should add Master and Commander: The Far Side of the World (2003) to your library (or theater?). It's an insanely underrated movie that shows Russell Crowe, Paul Bettany, and especially Director Peter Weir at their very best. Though historical fiction, it has a shocking amount of accuracy while not sacrificing story. The filmmakers even went so far as to purchase a replica, era appropriate frigate and taught the cast to sail it. Worth consideration at the very least.

As a Minnesotan the one thing I gotta nitpick about is wherever they are filming looks nothing like Brainerd. Brainerd is smack dab in the middle of lake country, lots of tree and lakes, there are lots of lake resorts there and a lot of people have there cabins in that area, It looks like they were filming closer to the Fargo/Moorhead area, the closer you get to North Dakota the Flater and more open things get. Also Frances McDormand does an amazing job in this.

I'm sure it's somewhere else down in the comments, but go watch the Coen Brothers first film "Blood Simple" now. It was Frances' first film, and where she met Joel Coen who she later married. In contrast to this film, it's a sweaty Texas noir film, and has a scene that's super similar to the car chase scene in this one. It's one of the best directorial debuts ever. Also, "No Country for Old Men" by the Coens (no Frances this time) is my favorite movie of all time. It's a master class in fillm making and so freakin' tense with fantastic performances.

There was a really interesting and really horrifying analysis of Fargo from the point of critiquing late stage capitalism, but it was written in late 2000s or mid 2010s so I can't find it... The broad point of it was isolation of individuals through capitalistic desires, like Wade ignoring his son in law Jerry while watching TV, the image which is repeated by the wife Jean, who is seemingly not affected by Wade's isolation of Jerry and is OBLIVIOUS to the impending doom lurking outside the window that is money loving Carl, and the lonely killer Gaer who watches a family themed TV show while ignoring his accomplice Carl, both of whom btw BUYS prostitutes to get love, pretty ironic. Jerry is not given a chair while talking to Wade and his accomplice about his finder's fee, and the next scene shows him walking alone to his car on a white snowcovered parking lot, the image which screams isolation(in retrospect, in my own opinion, the parking lot sums up the isolation caused by car-centric city structure and disconnection of community caused by motoring industry's capitalistic greed but thats just me.) And it pointed out that Marge and her baby is not safe from all of this cold isolation of capitalist wasteland represented by the snowy field of Minnesota, as she is seen consuming the peak capitalism(take-out junk food) alone in her prowler and not dining inside the restaurant, watches TV with her husband(Gaer visibly noticed the line from the TV drama "I'm pregnant", Marge is, for some narrative reason, pregnant), and the faith in humanity lost by being lied to by Mike Yanagita, who was clearly mentally ill from being isolated for whatever reason(who also lives with his parents like Jerry who lives with his father in law, isolated). This all points to a bleak future where she carries Gaer through the snowy wasteland like Jerry did in the beginning. What will her unborn child face in this world?

Jerry must have known that Shep was an ex-con, and asked him to recommend someone to do the kidnapping. Shep apparently recommended Grimsrud (he must have known Grimsrud from prison) and Grimsrud brought along Showalter -- all of them hardened criminals, one of them a bona fide psychopath. Jerry is completely unaware of what kind of people they are. He thinks he can do business with them as if it were a legitimate deal. He doesn't know these guys are out of control and he seems genuinely surprised when Showalter says he wants all the money -- or all the money Jerry told him about. There are too many examples of Jerry's utter incompetence to count.
