"Frozen" 7.5
①
At the end of the summer, I wrote Hayao Miyazaki's series. After watching all the ten films, I sorted them out and wrote them. Under the reflection of each other, it was laborious but interesting. When I went to the Coen brothers, I gave up after weighing it a few times. I had to extract some skeleton program. It was too nerve-racking to look at 17 movies together.
Speaking of "Frozen", I finished watching it at the end of the spring. Later, because of the Qing memo, I accidentally deleted the relevant records. I didn't remember it until I finished writing "Three Kings from Prison". Procrastination has reached the point where there is no cure.

The first impression of this movie is not necessarily good. First of all, it is famous, the works of the Coen brothers that swept the awards season, and secondly, some good people called the honest place name "Fargo" when they translated the name to the mighty "Frozen", and the result came up for you. Storytelling, the gap between expectations and reality can be frustrating.
And this film reveals a very weird temperament from beginning to end. This temperament is half from the arrogance and presumptuousness of the independent filmmakers of the Coen Brothers, and half from the ruthlessness and boredom of this cold winter in North Dakota, which is implemented into the film. The effect that comes out is actually unfriendly to ordinary audiences.
Speaking of which, the Coen brothers were born in Minnesota, and they have seen too many boring winters since they were children. It was the days when they were locked in the house and grilled by the wind and snow that forced them to look at the videotapes of various ages, and they have nurtured them to become Hollywood's top producers. The filmmakers' brothers.

A kidnapping case that was planned at random ended up killing several people. It was just a snowflake that fell in the wrong place, how could it cause an avalanche?
It is the favorite story mode of the Coen brothers, small characters, some small mistakes or coincidences all the way out of control and lead to catastrophe, and the fate is almost malicious and elusive. They used this set to play the dark humorous crime film into a flower, so that later people made black humor and crime films, but they could not escape the evaluation of "The Keen brothers learned well".
Some even have similar names, such as "The Labyrinth of the Heart". By the way, I think "Heart Labyrinth" is the best domestic suspense film in the past decade.

Francis McDormand won that year's Oscar for her role as a policewoman, and the strangely accented pregnant woman is the only positive character in the bloody farce.
What is worth pondering is that after she saw through the real culprit and went into danger alone to capture the thugs, she quickly entered the state of clocking in and leaving get off work, turned around and snuggled into the arms of her dull and gentle mediocre illustrator husband. The best way to bury a good woman is a mediocre marriage. Thinking about it this way, the Coen brothers really won't let anyone off when they are mean.
