Fargo has an irresistible charm to it. The characters are
sculpted in a very simple and folky way. The accents and the dialogue in this
movie are just great, an instance of this is how everyone described Steve
Buscemi’s character, they all described him as, “ Small funny looking guy”. I
have always been a big fan of when characters have brought up something that a
different character had said without any previous connection to them. I’ve
noticed this motif in almost all Coen brothers’ movies. Fargo puts a funny spin on this mess of a story that resulted in actual deaths, and it completely
succeeds. I believe the characters really sold this movie for me though. The
Coen brothers have always come up with great characters that are just interesting.
Marge Gunderson, a pregnant, pretty much up beat women who is the sheriff of
Fargo. You don’t find a goofy accented, corky, pregnant woman wielding a gun in
every movie. This ends up giving the movie some atmosphere, which a lot of
movies lack lately. This movie also reminds me a lot of The Big Lebowski, and
Burn After Reading. Along with goofy and unique characters, these movies have
similar stories of something simple as, getting mistaken for someone else, or
just a love relationship, that spiral into a complicated story that ends up
being very enjoyable.
