      "Ice Blood Storm" after watching~

      Jerry, a man with big ambitions, business acumen and ambition, but has been suffering from the lack of a platform to show him, and he has always been depressed.
      In order to stand out, Jerry married Jean, a mediocre and unattractive woman! (Reminds me of Zhuge Liang~~) Jean's family is very rich, and Jerry finally "married" into a wealthy family through hard work. Just when he was glad that he had the opportunity to display his ambitions, he found that things were different from what he...

      Indifference like ice, pain like blood

      The opposite of love is actually not hate but indifference
      . Compared with many movie fans, I personally think that everything in this film, except for the greed and selfishness of human nature, is exaggerating a kind of indifference.

      Jeff can kidnap his wife and
      father-in-law for money . Bargaining for my daughter's life is a bit more disdainful of all opinions of my son-in-law. There is no
      need to say more about the two killers.

      In fact, in this place, I am...

      Life is like a play

      Life is like a drama, and drama is about procedures. It is necessary to clean up the ugly at the end of life, sing, read, play, gongs, drums, and strings. Life is also, from life to death, you are galloping on the stage provided by the society for you. It seems that you are free from restraint, but in fact there are two procedures that always accompany you, one is the law and the other is the morality. The previous one is a hard procedure, you can only follow the rules, and you can't go beyond...

      Son-in-law's counterattack

      The snake of destiny in the bottle is still a snake. But the cork doesn't care about you. As a result, the bottle wall reflected his terrifying appearance, regardless of it. The male protagonist is a married son-in-law who has been scorned by his old husband. So he had no choice but to find a way out, and decided to take the risk, betting all his chips, including his wife. So, he fiercely upgraded the "fake divorce" - kidnapping his wife, then taking the ransom from his rich husband, pretending...

      The bloody case caused by an unreliable entrepreneurial man

      Before talking about this movie, let me first tell you that there are no beautiful and handsome guys in this movie, and all the actors are ordinary people like passers-by and passers-by, including their clothes.
      The movie is very good, it starts relatively slowly, watch it with patience, you will be attracted.
      In the performance of the actors, there is no trace of performance, just like you see men and women in real life, the husband of the policewoman is dumb, and the scene that left...

      Too sleepy and tiring, but the essence of the Coen brothers is still there. Very impressed with the pregnant female police officer. The favorite scene of the whole film also happened in her house. She was woken up early in the morning by a phone call to go to work, opened the door to leave the house, her husband continued to have breakfast, she pushed the door back and asked her husband to help her get her car out of the snow (still shot). / I always confused this film with "Ice Storm" before,...

    Behind the scenes gags

    In order to practice the Minnesota accent, the heroine Francis McDormand often competes with Larissa Kokernot, who plays a prostitute.
    In the film, after the kidnapper Karl shot Varde Gustafson, Buscemi said "fuck" 10 times.
    Kea, the killer, has only 18 lines in the movie, and he can say at most one complete line at a time. On the contrary, Carl's lines exceeded 150....

    Film creation

    The film uses Fargo (Fargo, North Dakota, USA ) as the English title because the director likes its pronunciation too much. In fact, none of the scenes in the film were shot in Fargo.
    The protagonist Jerry's last name comes from a film critic: Bob Lundegaard. At the end of the film, Kea kills Carl and uses a wood-smashing machine to smash Carl's body. This scene is adapted from the "Heller Krafts Disappearance Case" in November 1986.

    Evaluation action

    The character Margot Gunderson was specially created by the Coen brothers for Francis McDomond. Their ingenuity was not in vain, and her comedy performance was outstanding but not sensual. ( "Los Angeles Times" review ) Gunderson, played by Francis McDormand, is the cutest and most ridiculous absolute heroine after Thelma or Louise in "The End of the Road". ( "Washington Post" review )
    The beauty of the film lies in the detailed...
