Enjoy my Fargo Movie Reaction, this is my first time watching Fargo. This movie was directed so well and the performances were amazing. This is probably one of the most subtle movie reactions I've done. This movie reaction interested me so much, sense it was based off a true story. #Moviereaction #Fargo #FirstTimeWatching #Movie

FARGO MOVIE REVIEW | 27:49 - 30:02
Fargo Movie Description:
"Fargo" is a reality-based crime drama set in Minnesota in 1987. Jerry Lundegaard (William H. Macy) is a car salesman in Minneapolis who has gotten himself into debt and is so desperate for money that he hires two thugs (Steve Buscemi), (Peter Stormare) to kidnap his own wife. Jerry will collect the ransom from her wealthy father (Harve Presnell), paying the thugs a small portion and keeping the rest to satisfy his debts. The scheme collapses when the thugs shoot a state trooper.
Fargo is a 1996 black comedy crime film written, produced and directed by Joel and Ethan Coen. Frances McDormand stars as Marge Gunderson, a pregnant Minnesota police chief investigating roadside homicides that take place after a desperate car salesman (William H. Macy) hires two criminals (Steve Buscemi and Peter Stormare) to kidnap his wife in order to extort a hefty ransom from her wealthy father (Harve Presnell). The film was an American-British co-production.
Filmed in the United States during the end of 1995, Fargo premiered at the 1996 Cannes Film Festival, where Joel Coen won the festival's Prix de la mise en scène (Best Director Award) and the film was nominated for the Palme d'Or. The film was both a commercial and critical success, earning particular acclaim for the Coens' direction and script and the performances of McDormand, Macy, and Buscemi. Fargo received seven Oscar nominations at the 69th Academy Awards, including Best Picture and Best Director, winning two: Best Actress for McDormand and Best Original Screenplay for the Coens.
The film was selected in 2006 for preservation in the National Film Registry of the United States by the Library of Congress as "culturally, historically, or aesthetically significant"-one of only seven films designated in its first year of eligibility. In 1998, the American Film Institute named it one of the 100 greatest American films in history but it was subsequently de-listed in 2007. A Coen-produced FX television series of the same name, inspired by the film and taking place in the same fictional universe, premiered in 2014 and received critical acclaim.

There were two different real life crimes that inspired Joel and Ethan Coen to write, direct, and produce Fargo the movie. Unlike in the movie, these real life cases weren’t connected in the slightest. The first was a man who defrauded the General Motors Finance Corporation. The second was a murder in Connecticut where a man killed his wife and disposed of her body in a wood chipper.

@@vinnygi, @Maurice Lee: I mean, apart from Peter Stormare's psycho killer character (which was great carryover to his character in Prison Break), what I find so engaging is how non-(overtly)-evil-more like just really greedy-and how plausibly ordinary mosta the rest of the characters are (and why the "based on a true story" claim was so believable): it's fictional crime that *feels* like reports you read of actual crimes. Jerry's character is probably most fascinating 'cause he's not at all hostile or super aggressive, really rather meek and milquetoast, yet his slimy, weasely, and half-assed incompetence sets the other characters on their paths, getting most of them and his own wife killed Then he just tries to run. Buscemi's char's personality is such a petty, penny-pinching tightwad, to a fault, that he snatches defeat from the jaws of just taking the cash and running. An' would Crazy Killer have that likely gotten caught had he not stuck around to intentionally feed Buscemi into the woodchipper?

@derickalsept 2 жыл бұрын

I don't see if anyone posted the "Why Jerry needs the money" answer: We don't know why he did it, but the scene where GMAC calls asking for serial numbers to match for loans tells you that he forged financing paperwork to get the payment from the financing company. He's hatched the plot to kidnap his wife for ransom to cover his tracks. You're left to infer that he feels very inferior in his life, so he likely faked the financing to get the check so he could look like he was a successful car salesman...which he's not.

My thoughts on the money are that he wanted to do that $750k deal. He had little hope that his father in law would loan him the money. He scammed the 300k+ money with the car fraud thing, thinking the company auditors would just accept the partly smudged numbers and assume it was legit. Then he comes up with the kidnapping plan to get the remainder of what he needs. Everything starts unraveling though. The auditors know their job and he's going to get busted for fraud or embezzlement. His father in law is going to steal the big deal he was counting on. Then to make things really bad, his father in law won't let him take the money so Jerry never even gets to so much as touch the money. Jerry is as cold blooded as the psycho dude though. The proof is how he never thinks of his son's reaction until someone mentions him. Other people really mean nothing to him, even if they are his wife and son.

This is one of my 4 all-time favorite movies ever. It's just a perfect movie from beginning to end. To this day it's the only movie that I've watched 2 times back to back. It's interesting how some people get so serious watching this movie when it's basically a black comedy. I laugh at almost every scene of this, lol. Oh, and Frances McDormand won her first of many Oscars for this movie! She is incredible. William H. Macy was also absolutely incredible in this and their 2 scenes together are a masterclass in acting! One thing that many people don't get is the purpose of Mike Yanagita in the story. As soon as Marge learns she has been lied to, that's the moment she drives around with her car and realizes she might have been lied to by Jerry as well, so she goes back to him and finally solves the puzzle. Oh yeah, and the reasoning to get the money through those means is not important. That's the message of the movie. At the end, it's just a MacGuffin to move the story forward but the Coen brothers not telling us the reason is also part of the message of the movie, where money shouldn't be that important as to put your family's life in such a high risk, so it doesn't matter at all how much you need the money, don't do stupid shit like Jerry Lundegaard. Be content with your 3 cent stamp and enjoy your family and spouse. :)

A lot of people think the Mike Yanagita storyline is unnecessary and pointless but I think it shows how Marge dodged a bullet by marrying Norm. She chose well in her marriage and her career and as long as she continues to choose well she'll be rewarded for it. Whereas it's shown that Jerry is a fundamentally selfish man who may have married his wife in the first place because she "comes from money."

6:06 When Jerry brings the deal to his father-in-law, the reason the dad’s friend (Stan?) keeps repeating: “We’re not a bank, Jerry” is because Jerry doesn’t understand investment. He’s got some sort of real estate deal involving a parking lot, which he probably wants to flip/convert to some more profitable use, develop, whatever. And the deal itself we’re meant to take as lucrative enough.. with debt financing to the tune of $750k. Jerry’s problem is he takes the deal to his father-in-law and friend who aren’t lenders, which is what Jerry needs: a bank. They’re investors themselves. They make their money doing deals like that, which is why they talk about his finder’s fee. Jerry wanted to be the sole equity investor. But even for Jerry to be able to do that, he would need his own capital to put up (or a partner willing to provide equity, which is hard if he has neither experience nor a track record of his own). Where would Jerry get his own capital from? Well, if I heard correctly earlier on the phone, he was already apparently trying to borrow something like $300k by putting up cars as collateral somehow, cars that he himself didn’t own (they belonged to his dealership, which was already his father-in-law’s), and those cars apparently didn’t even have legit identifying numbers of some kind. In effect, Jerry was trying to hustle a real estate deal with 100% debt financing and none of his own equity. Trying to do it with his FIL’s vehicle inventory, fake information, then also trying to borrow it again from his FIL directly..

The husband is a loser. The family he married into was wealthy. His father-in-law looks down on him. His wife is a sweetheart but does not look at him like he's someone in her father's league. His motivation was getting success and respect when he was not outfitted to get any. He's a "Fredo" type character in a way. He is willing to cheat to get out of it and get that little bit he needs to fool his family and those around him that he's a man after all. The fact that he put his wife's life in the balance suggests he married into the family for all those reasons. Perfect weak character in how he is written. Now, contrast that with Margie's husband.... There are great contrasts between characters in this movie. These modern day archetypes that the Coen Brothers give us are not much unlike those presented by the Greek playwrights and Shakespeares of times past. There is something fresh (or Minnesota-boring simple folk kind of thing?), but strangely mythological about the people in this story.

No one in the movie that touched Jerry's scheme got out unscathed but I figured Marge would survive the movie because of what she represents. The willingness to see the bad but choose the good.

Apparently the guy who played Mike Yanagita was actually a semi-famous stand-up comedian who was also in In Living Color for a season, so I think his bit was intended to be simultaneously hilarious yet in that cringey way, not unlike mosta the movie.

Steve Park is great. I remember him from In Living Color. His character in the movie was great because it showed Marge that people try to lie and take advantage of her good nature. That incident led to to interrogate Jerry again.

You kind of skimmed past one of the vignettes that tickled me the most in the film: the sequence where the snow shoveler gives the detective some leads about the "funny-looking guy" down by the lake. Both men are dressed in eight-inch-thick Arctic parkas, with their breath practically freezing solid in the air, and casually agreeing that what they can tell of the weather signs points to a strong possibility of "it turning cold soon".

Although most of the movie is fictional, the Wood Chipper scene really happened: en.wikipedia.org/wiki/T._Eugene_Thompson There's actually an old joke that every time Steve Buscemi dies in a Cohen Brothers movie you see less and less of him. In Miller's Crossing he has his face blown off. In Fargo you only see his foot and by the time you get to Big Lebowski you only see his ashes.

And I always dearly encourage people to watch one of the Coen Bros. most disliked movies, The Ladykillers. It is just too darn funny, and Tom Hanks alone is just beyond words.

I got the impression that he needed the money because he had been stealing from the dealership by getting money for cars that did not exist, and that is what the whole call about the audit was.

Yes, her last movie Nomad got her another Best Actress Oscar as did Three Billboards and Fargo. She has three Best Actress Oscars. He set the ransom at $1M because he was tired of being disrespected by his father-in-law. Last straw was when they took his idea and were going to profit themselves from it. Screwed him out of his idea. He was going to give those crooks the $80K and keep the rest. Maybe also pay for that car he gave the crooks and still have $900K left. I wonder who found that $920K by the fence????? Or $960K. Thanks for reacting to this great movie. One of my favorites. Loved your reactions. haha
