A few years ago, I watched Lao Wuyi, didn't understand, and never watched the Coen brothers film. Recently, I saw the murder of Green Toe. It was so absurd and funny. There was no gloom like the old and no one to rely on. Only the feeling of "unstoppable" is similar. After the shock and belly laugh, I felt a little tired of "playing off". I watched Ice-Blood Storm again, and the tone was very close to that of Old Nowhere. Only then did I vaguely remember the feeling of seeing Old Nowhere. This time I finally discovered that the Coen brothers' grasp of details was too fascinating. Ice and Blood Storm is dominated by the story, and did not spend space to shape the character of the character, but only by the details of the character's participation in the incident, the character is displayed very complete and full. Such as Jerry's humble and self-consciousness, tall man's uncaused violence and anti-social personality, short man's greed and cunning, female police officer's wisdom, insight, and heartfelt considerate kindness. I always feel that the Coen brothers are uncontrollable in using the elements to advance the theme. The murder of Green Toes is constantly adding new characters and new gangs to the story, the old and the old and the anti-social personality killers in the ice storm continue to kill, all make me sigh." Oh my goodness here again". However, the use of details has never been accurate and powerful, and not even a line is wasted. Only in the ice and blood storm, the plot of the female police officer meeting with the old lover Mike made me a little confused. It feels that the image of the female police officer has been shaped very full, this time has no more meaning, not to mention, it is still out of the main line plot. Later, I saw someone about this question on IMDB, and I felt that the answer was very reasonable.

"Marge met with her high school boyfriend. What does the plot of Mike, an Asian man, mean? It seems to have nothing to do with the film.

The film does not give a complete explanation, but the details suggest that this plot does play an important role in the entire script. Mike's fragile, emotional state obviously scared Marge. When Marge's friends told her about Mike's mental problems and the fact that he never married Linda, you can see that she is very sad and worried for Mike. The way she ate Hardee's in the car is the most obvious evidence. When she was thinking about it, her thoughts obviously shifted to other places, including the case she was investigating. At the end of the scene, you can see from her subtle but obvious expression that a huge mystery in her mind is solved. This is because she connected Mike's frantic performance with her performance when she first met Jerry. You can recall that Jerry was a little nervous and seemed a little scared. Marge obviously didn't pay attention at first, but the meeting with Mike gave her a hint and allowed her to connect the two things. Soon after, she went back and met with Jerry again.
There is another explanation. Marge realized that even as an experienced police officer, she might not be aware of her being deceived. When she found out that Mike had lied to her, she re-examined her ability to handle the case, considering that Jerry might have lied to her too. That's why she went back to question Jerry again.
