Let's put a warning on that scene..MAY CAUSE SEIZURES!
shareMarge questions Jerry again from Fargo...https://youtu.be/u4Je2WxsqWA
shareBlasphemy I know, but I have never seen Fargo. The humor is very unusual in that movie. I may catch it.
shareone of my very favourite films. top 5.
not universally loved - what is? - but it's perfect to me.
It is nearly flawless. I am from Minnesota, and it has a divided reputation there, mainly because it's sort of a caricature, but I love it so much. So funny, so shocking, thrilling, and deeply moving.
sharei completely agree.
marge's closing 'there's more to life than a little money' speech would definitely be on any list i make of great movie moments.
i'm from winnipeg - not too far apart from your corner of the world - one thing i found a little offputting when i first saw it was the heavily pronounced accents.
we used to pop down to the dakotas & occasionally minnesota for trips pretty regularly, and i don't remember anyone ever having an accent like that.
The accent thing is the main factual beef I have with it. I am from the Twin Cities area and nobody really talks like that in the southern area of the state. The movie portrays every person as a Scandinavian immigrant. That being said, the farther North you go, the more you'll hear that accent. I also didn't think I had much of an accent until I moved to Wisconsin and I hear the 'Sotan accent a lot more in my voice or when I go home. The up North 'Sotan accent might be similar to your own accent, so you don't pick up on it as much, and the movie version is so exaggerated that you do notice that.
shareI had been living in Minneapolis for a number of years when the movie came out. Not only did people not talk like that, they talked with a very neutral Standard English accent, the kind of way TV news anchors talk.
As stated above, farther North you start to get that Canadian twang.
At the time, when someone got indignant about it, I said, "Do you think all people from Brooklyn talk the way they do in the movies?" (I'm originally from NYC)
When I watched it I was thinking wow interesting, David Caruso trying to do a Canadian Accent. I'm not sure he was successful.
shareAnother of my favorite clips from Fargo.

Aguirre The Wrath of God (1972) opening:
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=CCLDR7YEBeE
I remember someone posting about this movie a while back, it looks very disturbing, but cool scene.
shareit's absolutely great. very much worth seeing. people have their own interpretations of these things, but i think this film, more than any other i've ever watched, speaks to the pitiless indifference of the universe to human concerns. maybe. at the very least, it scratched an itch in me.
it's streaming on tubitv, at least in canada, so if you have 90 minutes you can watch if for free tonight.
there's worse things you could do with your time!
