1. It is recognized that the Coen brothers are masters of film noir, and Frozen continues this noir style, but where is the so-called "film noir" black? The black in "Frozen" is a black with fragile human nature. He takes his wife as the target of kidnapping, pays the remuneration and cares about how much, but does not consider the black of his daughter's life, and regards human life as black. The black in "Frozen" is closely related to the character of each character. Although everyone's actions cannot be separated from external pressure, the black is ultimately determined by the black of human nature itself, not an external accident. Or the inevitable situation decides.

2. Compared with some movies such as "Three Billboards", "Burst and Silence", etc., the story of "Frozen" does not have many coincidences, and the real events in real life always progress in planning and out of control. . According to the character's character, out of control is almost inevitable. Husband Xie Rui is clever but incompetent. He even told the kidnappers the secret of kidnapping his wife. No wonder his father-in-law looked down on his ability to handle affairs. The young wife looks like a full-time wife. Her brain is not very good, and she doesn't need any brains. Compared with Mrs. Cohen, the IQ gap is huge. The father-in-law is a bloody businessman, and he has to worry about taking out a son. Even if it is to save his daughter, he has to bargain to see if it can be done with 500,000 yuan. The short kidnapper talked a lot but didn't dare to use violence. It wasn't until his father-in-law aroused his ferocity that he started to kill. However, in the end, he returned to the old way of solving problems by intimidation and was beaten to death by the tall kidnapper. Tall kidnappers have their own set of principles. Although they despise their husbands kidnapping their own wives, they do it as long as they have money, and solve problems with violence all the way. So in the end, they each fell into their own mistakes and couldn't extricate themselves.

3. So in the end, only Mrs. Kern was able to take care of her home and catch the thief. Except for the suspected meeting with Mike, an ambiguous man in middle school, she was almost perfect. The clever Xie Rui used kidnapping to cheat money because he was short of money. Although there was another plan to invest 750,000 yuan from his father-in-law in a parking lot, he was kicked out by his father-in-law at the beginning of the plan. The pressure of payment can only go on. The father-in-law thought he could control it, but was shot by the bandits. The dwarf bandit tried to swallow a huge sum of money, but he died because of nagging. The high bandits murdered on a whim and were discovered.

4. In the end, all the black colors are integrated into the snow scene. The feature of this film is the vast white snow scene. A large number of small people and the sky and the earth are in the same white composition. The huge sense of oppression, the music is full of solemn and oppressive religious sense, the black that people do is eventually covered up by the white.

    The Coen brothers' very well-known work won the best director at Cannes, and also allowed Cohen's wife to win the Oscar for the first time. But to be honest, I really don't understand this actress, Mrs. Cohen's acting skills are well known, but isn't this role too simple? However, Mrs. Cohen's voice in this film is so good. The Minneapolis accent is so funny, yah, yah the whole way. The Coen brothers also lied to the audience at the beginning, in fact, this film is not based on real events. The plot is still a strong Coen Brothers style. A fake kidnapping case snowballed. There is no foreshadowing, the rhythm is fast, the occasional is very large, bizarre, coincidental, accidental, full of black humor with a sense of fate. But I was disappointed that the whole film didn't create a suspenseful and tense atmosphere from start to finish. The script can be said to be a low-profile version of "No Country for the Old" in the early years, but it is far less than "The Old", without the sense of despair and oppression. It is a well-recognized film that I don't feel personally, but the look and feel is not as good as "No Country for Old Men" and "Blood Labyrinth". The Coen brothers have always made commercial films in the way of art films, and the plots are good-looking and their directing skills are superb. 7 points.

Fargo quotes

  • Carl Showalter: Would it... kill you to say something? "No." That's the first thing you've said in the last four hours. That's a... that's fountain of conversation, man. That's a geyser. I mean, whoa daddy! Stand back, man. Shit. I'm sitting here driving. Doing all the driving, man. The whole fucking way from Brainard driving. Just trying to... chat, you know. Keep our spirits up, fight the boredom of the road, and you can't say one fucking thing just in the way of conversation. Oh fuck it. I don't have to talk to you either, man. See how you like it. Just total fucking silence. Two can play at that game, smart guy. We'll just see how you like it. Total silence.
