I have seen five of the Coen brothers' films so far. They are "No Country for Old Men", "Serious Men", "Burning After Reading", "Thunderbolt" and this "Frozen" in chronological order. While the first four are relatively new—and are indeed a reflection of my short film-watching history—Frozen harks back to the 1990s, allowing me to experience the quintessential Coen brothers’ dark humour. However, it is interesting that this is the only work that focuses on the power of women, which is rare in this series of films.
The Coen brothers have never been afraid of outright violence. "Frozen" is set in snowy Minnesota, and it shuttles back and forth between day and night. The blood in several gripping scenes of carnage seems to be the only film in the film. color. In the background of such a film that should have been low and depressed, it seems that the appearance of the heroine has relieved the string that is about to break again and again. Sheriff Marge, played by Frances McDormand, is not amazing in appearance and is pregnant, but she is meticulous in her business and proficient in business. The serial murder case was solved in one fell swoop. The heroine's performance was light and did not reveal a trace of axe, and she won the Oscar for that year in one fell swoop. The Coen brothers also won the behind-the-scenes award for best original screenplay.
There are many anecdotes circulating about the material of this film. The director brothers claimed it was a real story, but never released the real source of the story. The evil deeds of the criminals are outrageous, and the reasons behind the case are even more incredible. No matter how hilarious the Coen brothers' humor is, they can't escape the endless darkness that shrouds them, just like the bizarre hairstyle of the murderer in No Country for Old Men, but no one can laugh at it.
Marge was overjoyed that her husband won a fishing contest and won a three-cent stamp with the image of the fish he caught, and she couldn't help but ask when she returned home with the captured criminal: These five people) for what? For that amount of money? There are so many more important things in life than that amount of money. Don’t you know? Look, what a nice weather today. I really don’t understand…” I Thought Marge's questioning was more of a murmuring, because she could never get an answer to that question. I like her unanswered, or in other words, I'd rather believe the question has no answer. Compared to the sheriff's powerless confusion in "No Country for Old Men", Marge's hand still holds the direction of her destiny at least.
