Fargo not a true story, but what a story!

Rating: Null/10 (22 October 2000)

Fargo is far and away the best film of the 90s and is number two on my list of all-time favorites. When I first rented it, I had it for three days and watched it seven times. I found it the best black comedy ever put on film. After the first viewing, I had the feeling that I had just watched an Oscar-winning performance and was validated when McDormand won.
I saw a comment about "seeing it over and over again" and I agree 100%. I never tire of watching it and speaking the lines along with the movie.

But the disclaimor at the beginning of the movie stating it is based on a true story is false. It's only after I watched the credits closely at the end of the movie did I see the statement that the characters were ficticious. Well, Mr. and Mr. Coen, you had me fooled. I've spent far too much time to no avail trying to find information on the original case. You two are too much!
