Pet peeve of mine...

Rating: 7/10 (4 January 2014)

I am no fan of expletives. I think there is too much of this going on in society and in movies in general.
So, to use the f-word in this movie is not even attempting to reflect the swearing that took place during the time period represented. Virtually no one used that word as it was certainly deemed too crude (in fact if you go back only 15 years or so in the US, the f-word was not used nearly as much as it is today in general conversation).
I say bad on the Coen brothers in this regard for selling out to contemporary American culture, instead of staying true to the time period.
Otherwise, I enjoyed the film and it was a typical creative Coen brothers work.
