One Full summary

Rating: 10/10 (8 December 2000)

I've just finished viewing Fargo in a Media class, and I think that it's one of the best that I've ever seen. The performances of the two who play the kidnappers is truely something to be marveled at. On one hand, you have the silent, dark , brooding type, then you get to the other, a loud extrovert who gets so frightened when the first murder of the officer happens, it's just so contradicatry. The whole of the film is centered about the comical thriller aspect of the narration, mainly being omniscient when the scene cuts back to Jerry and Wade, but being balanced between restrictive and omniscient when the kidnappers are featured. If the film has any bad points, I for one, certainly can't see them. Ok, so I may like this sort of film, but it's because it's a change from the usual. It's funny, and scary at the same time, much like Psycho after the 2nd viewing and seeing all the in-jokes. In summary, I think that this film is the best that I've ever seen, I hope that you'll like it as much as me...
