The beginning of the story is a mistake, a failed fraud by the car salesman Jerry. Jerry's father-in-law is rich, but he is an iron cock, so Jerry decides to hire someone to kidnap his wife, his father-in-law's daughter, and force his father-in-law to pay. Unexpectedly, the two killers met the police while kidnapping. One of the killers killed the police. Later, they killed passers-by, the parking lot keeper, the wife of the car salesman, the father-in-law of the car salesman... Finally, the killer fell into one. The female police officer who was pregnant with Liujia was single-handedly seized by her.
Every character in this film is full of images. For example, this car salesperson. In the United States, car salespersons, especially used car salespersons, have always had a bad reputation. If you say someone: He is like a used car salesman. That means that this person is slick and treacherous, has no principles of life, and is not honest. In the film, it is indeed seen that Jerry, a used car salesman, cheated people without blinking his eyes, and the sincerity of his face made professional bad guys deceived. In Jerry's car dealership, a couple was frustrated and complained that the new car did not have the relevant accessories described at the beginning. He couldn't explain it, so he told the customer: Wait a minute, I'll talk to the boss. While the customer was waiting, he ran to his colleague’s office to chat for a few words, and then ran back to tell the customer: I told the boss that because there are no accessories, he will give you a discount of 100 yuan. Jerry thought that these two-sided sales skills could also be used in his own home. It is a pity that things always develop unexpectedly. Every detail is unexpected in the end. The agency is too clever, and many lives are lost, and the family is ruined. Remember, never make deals with wicked people.
The pairing of the two killers is wonderful. The short killer Carl is played by the ugly star Steve Buscemi, and the taller killer B is played by Peter Stormare. These two men have successfully played various supporting roles and contradictions in many films. In this film, two bad guys are simply indispensable. Assassin A is wordy, but clumsy, assassin B is unsmiling, but decisive. The two are together, and everyone who has seen Pinter's "Food Delivery Lift" must feel familiar. These two people are ruthless and ruthless, but they make a lot of jokes together. The two went to the motel together for prostitution. Later, the two stupid prostitutes were questioned by the police. When asked about the characteristics of Killer A’s appearance, the prostitute just said: He is funny looking. The police asked if he could be more specific and how. A funny way, she said: Funny looking in a general sort of way. Later, she added: He doesn't seem to be circumcised. The police then said: Ah, you slept with him! Assassin B didn't speak much, but he didn't need to speak, because his deep, cold eyes were enough.
However, the most glamorous character in the film is Marge, the female police officer who solved the crime. On the surface, this woman is the sister-in-law next door, and she is very affectionate with her bald husband. With a big belly, she went to various places to collect clues. Finally, she found the Assassin B who was smashing the body by the shredder in the snow, shot and wounded him, arrested and brought him to justice. In that white snowfield, blood spurted from the pulverizer and splashed all over the ground, and the shot made people shudder. Frances McDormand, who plays the policewoman, I watched in Mississippi Burning a while ago. In that movie, she played a southern barber, a housewife, and her husband was a white racist deputy sheriff. Since that film, I fell in love with her acting skills at first sight. McDormand is actually not pretty, but in response to the old saying, women are not because of beauty and strength, but because of strength and beauty. Many years ago, I watched a Chinese and Cuban volleyball match on the spot. During the intermission, I remember that some very slender welcome ladies came to the stage and participated in some activities. I just watched the energetic fight of the women's volleyball girls. Looking at these women who might feel very beautiful in other environments, I suddenly felt that they all seemed to be sick. Similarly, I found that after seeing McDormand and then seeing a series of other beautiful actresses, it is like seeing these welcome ladies in the middle of a women's volleyball match. It's really Huangshan returning and not watching Yue! I'm sorry, but halfway through writing a film review, how can I criticize a woman? But this is probably a man's right, just as some female netizens like to comment on male netizens recently, such as what Cindy's brother is more rounded, the star production is not high, and so on. Although I'm talking about youth-style male netizens, it doesn't matter to me, but as a male compatriot, I still have to fight back to show that Lang Lang is empty, and in broad daylight, there are still people who draw their swords to help.
Where are you talking about?
By the way, McDormand is a powerful actress.
This film is very powerful from beginning to end. The killer is the powerful, the police are the powerful, and the soundtrack and the pictures are also the powerful. The murder in a piece of ice and snow has a special visual impact, making people feel cold from the inside to the outside.
The design of the plot is black humor from beginning to end. A man kidnapped his wife for his father-in-law’s money. In the end, everything messed up and became a snowball tragedy. Since it's a tragedy, how can humor start? It's all about the big and small details. It looks casual, but it's all ingenious. For example, Marge went to Twin Cities to handle a case and met an old classmate, probably a guy of Japanese descent, named Mike. This Mike had a bad mind. After meeting, he said that he had an unfortunate marriage that didn't exist at all, and then wanted to sit by Marge’s side. I want to put my hand on her shoulder and ask: Do you mind if I Sit here. At this time, the gentle-faced female police officer said with a serious face: You'd better sit on the opposite side. When Mike sat opposite and apologized again and again, she easily resolved the deadlock: You sit there, I don't think you should turn your neck. A small detail seems to have nothing to do with the plot, but it makes people see this female police officer's character in the outer circle and the inner circle, the needle is hidden in the cotton, and she is witty and dexterous. In addition, her bald husband looked very useless, but the police officers regarded her as a treasure, soothing and encouraging him everywhere. Some people hire someone to kidnap their wives for their father-in-law's money, and some kill innocent people for a bit of peace. To set off, the gentleness of the female police officer makes people feel warm in a piece of ice and snow.
When I watched this movie last night, I remembered the policewoman played by Li Bingbing in "Homecoming for the New Year". I think Li Bingbing is also very similar to McDormand. I wonder why there are more people interested in Fan Bingbing and not Li Bingbing. So many? People of superficiality, remember the superficiality of beauty! I woke up to the Internet today and found that Li Bingbing had won the Huabiao Award. Scott Adams said that he saw a vision many years ago and felt that he was speaking to countless audiences in San Francisco, and then the vision really became a reality. Many of his other visions also came true, so he wondered if there was a self before, which existed in the ancient past, and programmed the life of the present so that he could imagine his future. I have the same strange experience as him, but all kinds of deja vu and dreams come true, which never happen to me every time. It's what I thought of, and it really happened to someone else.
Director Cohen announced from the beginning that the film was adapted from real events, which is simply a kind of humility, because his weaving has made the story "beyond life" greatly. In the film, Killer A buried the suitcase with money in the snow in order to swallow it alone. A few years after the release of the film, a Japanese woman in black ran over with a map and said Fargo, Fargo, looking for this treasure. There is a Japanese Dasha Mike at the beginning of the film, and this film also attracts a Japanese Dasha. It seems that the snow in Minnesota is similar to the snow in Hokkaido, and there is a temptation to make people do something dizzy. A world full of snow can sometimes make people forget the reality. You see, if it hadn't been for three years in the snowy city of ice and snow, why would I be so attached to this film that I would write such a long thing?
After I finished writing, I suddenly woke up and remembered that I had chosen a course this semester. I didn’t finish the first class last week because I got the time wrong. Many things, I will have an exam tomorrow! Now that I haven't read a word, I have time to write these things!
I am screwed!
