During a snow-covered winter, a kidnapping took place in small towns in Minnesota and North Dakota states. It is said that the film is based on a true story written by the Coen brothers and is a dark humor film full of suspense. Just like peeling off the skin of an onion, the story unfolds slowly, and the plots are closely interlocked, just like riding a roller coaster.
Car salesman Jerry desperately needs some money to save him from bankruptcy. His father-in-law, who owns a car dealership, is very wealthy but often points his finger at him, thinking that he is useless and will not be a big deal. Jerry hires two despicable gangsters to kidnap his wife and promises to share the spoils with them. Who would have thought that a plan is not as good as a change, and a fake kidnapping turned into a real murder.
The quick-thinking, pregnant Sheriff Marge (played by Frances McDormand) finally dug up clues from Jerry through investigation, solved the case, and let the real murderer fall under the law.
I think the success of this film is not only due to the wonderful performances of the male and female protagonists, but also the contribution of the supporting characters. Their interpretation of the little characters is a big plus. And the Coen brothers' obvious narrative skills, plus scene selection, setting, character dialogue, accent use, etc., from small details to hierarchical layout, in one go, the daily life of the town residents, the distorted humanity and complexity of the characters, vividly displayed Come out, bring the audience into the game every second, and have a long aftertaste. This film is worth taking the time to watch.
