Product Description

Fargo: SE (RPKG/DVD)

]]>

Amazon.com

Leave it to the wildly inventive Coen brothers (Joel directs, Ethan produces, they both write) to concoct a fiendishly clever kidnap caper that's simultaneously a comedy of errors, a Midwestern satire, a taut suspense thriller, and a violent tale of criminal misfortune. It all begins when a hapless car salesman (played to perfection by William H. Macy) ineptly orchestrates the kidnapping of his own wife. The plan goes horribly awry in the hands of bumbling bad guys Steve Buscemi and Peter Stormare (one of them being described by a local girl as "kinda funny lookin'" and "not circumcised"), and the pregnant sheriff of Brainerd, Minnesota, (played exquisitely by Frances McDormand in an Oscar-winning role) is suddenly faced with a case of multiple murders. Her investigation is laced with offbeat observations about life in the rural hinterland of Minnesota and North Dakota, and Fargo embraces its local yokels with affectionate humor. At times shocking and hilarious, Fargo is utterly unique and distinctly American, bearing the unmistakable stamp of its inspired creators. --Jeff Shannon

Not a true story!
5 Stars
Not a true story!
I can’t tell if those people who are getting upset because this is a “true story” are being sarcastic. While there is a “based on a true story” statement in the beginning, if you watch the bonus interviews, you will learn that that statement is a lie. This was controversial several years ago. It was meant to poke fun at those other “based on a true story” stories that have too much creative license used. This movie is as true as Forest Gump. It’s so believable because it has pieces of many true stories mixed in with the fiction.The basic plot is that a car dealer comes up with a simple plan to get money from his rich father-in-law; have the wife kidnapped for a ransom to be paid by the father-in-law. The hired kidnappers would get a portion and he would keep the rest of the ransom. Of course, the plan did not work out as expected (there wouldn’t be much of a story if it had).This movie has a lot of dark humor in it. It’s not something you’d watch with your kids unless they are teenagers or older.
