Fargo means far go or go far. This story goes far away beyond your imagination.
The Chinese name "Ice Blood Storm" is relatively straightforward, meaning that a series of bloody and violent murders took place in the ice and snow. The reason is only because of an evil thought that wants to make a fortune and is self-righteous!
The Coen brothers have always used movies to tell stories that are full of black humor but look very lifelike. Through close-up shots of the characters one by one, the audience thinks that the story is really adapted from a real story (in fact, the storyline is basically It was adapted from real events in 1987, but the place where it happened was not in Fargo at all). As a result, a few years later, a Japanese woman really died in the snow in a foreign land in search of the so-called buried US$920,000. This incident is even more bizarre and incredible!
Of course, the best performer in this movie is Joel Cohen’s wife Francis McDormand, this amazing and powerful woman has won three Oscars since then! The director portrays her slowly, speaks appropriately, handles things sleekly, full of rusticity (yeah, yeah, yeah all the time), and has a clear idea of handling the case. There is a small episode that is very important. She took the opportunity to date an Asian ex-boyfriend with a big belly, but when she found out that this man turned out to be a fine point, she felt astonished, "I missed each other as much as I missed each other." In addition, the daily conversations between her and his husband are also very interesting. . .
I personally think that the film uses the plain and simple family situation of the policewoman to compare the misfortune and root causes of the Jerry family (four weird people including his father-in-law). As the policewoman said, there is something more important than money in this world~
Stick around as yourself and you'll go far away from such tragedies!
