warmth in the coldness

Rating: 8/10 (11 September 2008)

for me, there's always a shot in every Cohen brother movies that you're not quite sure what you are looking at or what's going on. In Millers' Crossing it's the moment the guy was about to lift up a chair and beat up G. Byrne in the warehouse. In Lebowski, it was the human painting thing. In Fargo, it's one scene shot square from the top of the parking lot looking down.
It seems these are almost intentional ? But only the Coehns can answer that.
Each movie try to evokes and entice certain feelings. for me, Fargo, seems to try to contrast the warmth of some characters against the coldness of others, namely the murderers. How the cold ones can range from resisting to truly unfeeling (such a word?) by nature; and the warm ones live and find warmth, not in themselves but mostly in others, or relating to another that can relate to.
did you get that?
