Don't really know about the deeper meaning but Fargo is a great movie.

“Millers Crossing” has even beat out “O Brother, Where art Thou?” as my favorite Coen Bros. movie

Check out their first one, “Blood Simple” for a fun ride!

“Intolerable Cruelty” is funny beyond words... And it has Ms. Zeta Jones and that ain’t bad.

I like Coen Bros films...less offensive than most.

“Raising Arizona” is pure genus if you like comedy and what can be said about “Fargo” other than a very dark movie that still made you feel good at the end...and then there’s “Oh Brother”...

Yea great. Can’t talk to anyone outside the area without them laughing and asking me if I’m from Fargo.

I love the Coen brothers. They have a very high percentage of excellence. Raising Arizona, Barton Fink, Miller’s Crossing, Fargo, Oh Brother Where Art Thou. And I don’t care what others say, Hudsucker Proxy was hilarious. And I liked The Man Who Wasn’t There. I didn’t really like No Country for Old Men, which won them an Oscar. Go figure. I really love Miller’s Crossing.

For all you FARGO fans, check out this youtube reenactment scene from the car dealer. This guys does a bunch of different movie scene reenactments and he’s really quite amazing.

check out his channel...his GoodFellas funny like a clown scene is amazing. He NAILS William Macy in this Fargo scene.

Gopnik, played by newcomer Michael Stuhlbarg, is a physics professor at a local university. Gopnik's suburban serenity begins to devolve when his wife announces she's leaving him for Sy Abelman...a corpulent, pious bloviating fellow professor. A series of minor, if life-altering, calamities lead Gopnik to question the existence of God and the meaning of life – and of suffering*****

Are they giving Saul Bellow screen credit and royalties?

Also, New Yorker readers might be surprised to find the pious bloviator named Ableman and the hero called Gopnik?

These guys make some great movies (Fargo cracks me up) but I gotta say “No Country for Old Men” may be the worst movie yet made.
