    Actually it was only Buscemi's character that was referred to as "kinda funny looking in a general kinda way." But I get what you mean about none of the people in the movie looking like Hollywood supermodels. I think that was a good decision by the Cohen brothers, to make everything more realistic and homely.

    • @BrandoCritic
      @BrandoCritic  3 роки тому +3

      Yes absolutely! If you look through the comments section, one guy got REALLY angry at me for saying that. I know that it was only Buscemi's character who was mentioned as "funny-looking", but it's a theme that runs through the movie

    Arguably one of the Coen Brothers' best films, this movie somehow manages to delivered a somewhat quirky dialogues and overly dark premise. Frances McDormand also had a magnetic performance on this as well. She also won an Oscar for this role and is well deserved. I give this a 9.1/10. Overall this is one of the most ICONIC films of the 1990s era. 😊😊👍👍

    I absolutely ADORE this movie to death, and the more I rewatched it the more I thought about what would it be like watching the film in B&W, and sure enough Fargo in B&W is amazing and arguably better than in color (not to say that it sucks in color, it’s just got something to it that just enhances it) not as high on the TV series as the movie but the show was pretty good.

    Coen brothers are best at the "simple plan goes so wrong and destroys every character" plot. And this is the best of them, and also this is my best Coen brothers movie. And also again, this is in my top 10 best movies I ever watched.

    I thought this movie was going to be more of a home alone type movie (due to the description I read online), so I was surprised with the overall tone and that first violent scene genuinely shocked me because I genuinely wasn’t expecting it.

    Fargo gives you that Napoleon Dynamite feel! It’s such a boring town with boring people that it pulls you in and you want to keep watching lol! All I keep thinking about while watching this movie was I would hate to love there 😂😂. These type of movies also make you wonder what year the movie was based in! It’s like a town that got stuck in the late 80s early 90s and never came out of it! Great review bro!

    The writers and directors point was that even normal boring places can have desperate and dangerous people. That this is in some ways like Truman Capote's In Cold Blood. It also was like a gathering blizzard, a storm you can't stop. A man in financial trouble, hair brained scheme to get his father in law to help unknowingly. A unexpected set of consequences that blows the protagonist's scheme apart. He becomes the tragic figure you hate to empathize with because this was a situation of his own making.

    So the accents are actually accurate? Interesting.. They seemed so over the top I didn’t think they were legit lol, especially the pregnant lady. I haven’t seen Fargo in years but I remember enjoying it. Might be time for a re-watch.
    Favourite Coen brothers movie is True Grit.

      From MN, nah we talk like Brandon. Those accents are really skewed, probably only 20% or less people talk like that out in rural areas, not urban like Minneapolis (movie setting)

  • @Bebby_Binkins
    @Bebby_Binkins 3 роки тому

    Heh heh, I have a Minnesotan accent that's a bit on the stronger side. The two factors that determine how strong you family's accent might be, are how long your family has been in the upper Midwest, and how rural you live. I have a long family history in the upper Midwest on one side, and I've lived in a suburb for most of my life, and a rural area for a few years

    0:10 You have my permission, as a Minnesotan with a bit of a stronger accent (I have the long A, and I pronounce for as "Fer" a lot) No offense will be taken. I know we have a weird accent. Most don't have an accent that strong, most have a very weak accent. But I have heard some with stronger accents

    Hey buddy the only
    one con I have is that scene u showed with lazy faced big guy in the back of the cop car. It kinda feels like a spoiler the entire time I watched the movie. I expected him to be in a cop car the entire time. So like idk. Can u delete this comment? Or do I have to? But like I said thank u so much for ur recommendation. I just hated that it stuck in my head... and I just kept thinking oh this dude will be in a cop car. And it isn’t so bad until ur deep in to the movie sometimes. I mean look at no country for old men. Chigurgh or whatever is in a cop car in cuffs in the beginning.....
