"Fargo" does not belong in the wood chipper, unlike the majority of films today

Rating: 10/10 (5 July 2005)

Fargo is a breath of fresh air. It is inspiring for movie-goers, because the majority of films lack inspiration or originality. Joel and Ethan Coen's masterpiece is funny, sadistic, dark, violent, intense, and true. The setting is cold and harsh, which is perfect for the events that unfold in the storyline. It deserves its place in the top 100 films of all time. The acting is top-of-the-line, as well. Frances McDormand deserved her Academy Award. Due to these facts, you simply must watch this film. The thing that impresses me the most with this film, as with other films by the Coen brothers, is that it portrays what can result from a lie, which eventually explodes and ultimately leads to death and madness. Thou shalt not lie.
