My favorite movie

Rating: Null/10 (26 April 2000)

After reading a lot of reviews, I agree w/ what a lot of people have to say. Fargo is a great movie. It's insightful and the extremes in life -good v. evil- are portrayed perfectly. I don't love movies like a lot of people do, but I LOVE "Fargo."
I don't like wasting my time on movies that don't give you insight and make you think about things a little more. TV can waste my time fine for non-issues. Fargo is not on the level of a blockbuster in terms of action, but in terms of insight and quality, it is the best.
For those that say it was overrated, maybe that's because they're expecting a mega-action movie. Nothing about Fargo is mega because it's so true to life. The extremes in Marge and Norm (extremely nice, genuine) and extremes of Jerry, Carl and Gaer (extremely evil, greedy, calice) do exist in real life and sometimes it's as boring and obvious as in Fargo.
Fargo is not for everyone. Some people like to have things in your face. It is my favorite movie of all times, hands down. This is the only movie where I think every scene is so brilliant that it can be interpreted to have higher meaning and significance. It should have won Best Picture, but of course it didn't spend enough advertising $ to promote the movie, so that would corrupt the whole Hollywood industry.
