Fargo, the movie

Good movie, and the reason its so good is because its starts out my saying that it is a true story. Which I found out recently that it is NOT. Written my the Coehn brothers. But while watching it, and thinking its true totally changes how you watch it. Without thinking its true, it would just be a slightly better than average murder movie.

Cohen brothers are nuts man, any movie they make is immediately a classic. Check out the Hutsucker proxy, also that ''romantic comedy'' with Catherine Zeta-Jones and George Clooney, it's actually really good.

''Independence is for the very few; it is a privilege of the strong. And whoever attempts it even with the best right but without inner constraint proves that he is probably not only strong, but also daring to the point of recklessness. He enters into a labyrinth, he multiplies a thousandfold the dangers which life brings with it in any case, not the least of which is that no one can see how and where he loses his way, becomes lonely, and is torn piecemeal by some minotaur of conscience. Supposing one like that comes to grief, this happens so far from the comprehension of men that they neither feel it nor sympathize. And he cannot go back any longer. Nor can he go back to the pity of men.'' -my buddy, Fred

''The possibility of physical and mental breakdown is now very real. No sympathy for the Devil, keep that in mind. Buy the ticket, take the ride.'' -Raoul Duke, and his good friend, Mr.Jim Bean
 
yeah, seen Hudsucker proxy, unlike any other movie. Though I don't really know what it was about. Been a while since Ive seen it.

for those that are stil confused about the COEN brothers, they're responsible for the big lebowski, barton fink and raising arizona (so good)

i always knew fargo was fiction and yet i still thought of it as being really good. if you want good coen brothers watch 'blood simple,' its their first film and it blew people away when it came out, some really interesting camera work...and for whiny bitches that need something substantial, its often praised as a five star movie.

raising arizona was amazing. ladykillers was good too. i didnt think nick cage and tom hanks were funny, but they are in those movies

 
Yah thats a fucking sick movie, I but I heard Barton Fink Sucked ass. I think they also made the Royal Tenenbaums.....no wait maybe.

 
^no they didn't make the royal tennebaums. that film has a very unique style, wes anderson who is responsible for that also made rushmore and the up and coming 'the life aquatic with steve zissou' which should be amazing.

every movie always has someone who says it sucks, the thing is, that person is often times a moron who loves the movie 'torque'

did wes anderson do bottle rockets too?

i thought bottle rocket was crrrap. i liked tenenbaums, bill burray is great in it. the the drugged up eli cash wedding crash dog slaughter-wonderous

 
intolerable cruelty was shit (at least by their standards), they shouldn't make movies like that. i used to respect them.

 
Yea, but everyone who is from Minnesota loves that movie.

Because Brainerd!!! has a shot in it. And where they throw the body in that weed gratter in the end. Looks just like at the lakes in MN.

but getting back to my origional post, how they said the movie was true, when is wasn't, completey changes how you watch it. Such a smart 'move'

-------------------
 
shit, I just watched the movie, 'The Ladykillers' I didn't know the Coen bros directed that. It was really funny and good.

-------------------
 
grete knows whats up...yaaa brainerd! I love that movie, but no one in minnesota/fargo actually talks that way, thats why it's so funny.
