    FILM DESCRIPTION:
    Filmmaking siblings Joel Coen and Ethan Coen both embraced and poked satirical fun at their Minnesotan roots with this comedy-drama-thriller that earned seven Oscar nominations, winning for Best Actress and Best Original Screenplay. Frances McDormand stars as Marge Gunderson, a pregnant police chief whose affable, folksy demeanor masks a whip-smart mind. When a pair of motorists are found slain not far from the corpse of a state trooper, Marge begins piecing together a case involving a pair of dopey would-be kidnappers, Carl (Steve Buscemi) and Gaear (Bergman stock player Peter Stormare). They've been hired by Jerry Lundegaard (William H. Macy), a car salesman under the thumb of his wealthy, overbearing boss and father-in-law, Wade (Harve Presnell). Jerry's raised some money illegally through a petty scam he's run on General Motors and he's about to get caught. When Wade sours a business deal that could save his son-in-law's hide, the desperate Jerry hires Carl and Gaear to kidnap his wife and hold her for ransom. Things go predictably wrong and a series of murders occur, with Marge, waddling along behind her enormous belly and ever-hungering for an all-you-can-eat buffet, hot on the trail of the killers. Although the credits for Fargo state that the film is loosely based on real events, the story is entirely fictional, the claim being just an ironic jibe on the part of the Coens.

    I love the parallels given in this scene. Earlier in the movie, Gaear shoots the innocent passenger in the back after he was trying to run away from the car wreck. In this scene, the roles are flipped as it is Gaear trying to run away from his own "wreckage" as he gets it shot from the back by Marge.

      @Selarom Ogeid probably wasn't meant to hit her! Happens all the time in movies where a small stunt like that actually hurts a person but they keep rolling because the acting is real. In breaking bad, in a fight scene between Aaron Paul's character and a early villain, Paul is tackled and pushed through a door. One of his ribs was broken, but they kept rolling because they didn't know until it ended, and used the cut because it was real pain.

      Lewis 970, I think he's referring to the "American Redoubt," a concept developed and popularized by best-selling post-collapse survivalist author, James Wesley Rawles. At it's most basic, the American Redoubt is a block of states in the NW with vast tracts of undeveloped land where survivors can take refuge from the government, as the vast amount of land acts sort of like a redoubt (A sort of fort). Although Minnesota isn't really redoubt state.

    The iconic nature of this scene aside, imagine your whole existence boiling down to this. You went to grade school, raised by a loveing mother and father, grew up with friends, but in your adult years things went awry, and now your body is being turned into a unrecognizable mulch by your accomplice, never to be discovered again as the snow covers tracks of your blood, flesh & bones, as if you've never even existed to begin with.

      That's exactly what death is, though. You can't keep a memory of a person forever. Hell, even the people that left their mark on history like Ceasar and Napoleon feel more like legends, rather then actual human beings. We know more about what they accomplished and less about who they were.
      What can you tell me about the bronze age civilizations, about King Tut and Agamemnon?
      They are phantoms clouded by time.
      Truth is, in due time anything will be forgotten and it's vain to think otherwise.

      She has a gun, he doesn't. I suppose he could have rushed her and tried to kill her with the chunk of wood, but she would probably get a couple of bullets into him before he closed the distance, though it might not have stopped a big guy like him. He kills her, then slowly bleeds out in that frozen wasteland. Basically, he has no good options.

    I remember my parents renting this when it first came out on VHS, they said it was too violent for me even though it was also funny. I didn't understand what a dark comedy was, but I wanted to see it, I couldn't sleep while they watched it. So I cracked my door and tried to listen to it, I just remember being so intrigued yet somewhat creeped out by the buzzing of the saw. I knew something grotesque was happening, but I wasn't allowed to watch it until years later. From my bedroom, it sounded like the saw noise lasted forever. Memories...

    There's irony in the scene where Gaear is captured. When he runs away notice how he chooses probably the worst direction to run in? He ran on an open frozen lake where he was an easy target. any other direction he cut of have used the trees as cover and there is no way that a heavily pregnant Marge would be able to keep up with him on foot. I find it Ironic because when he kills the motorist the motorist effectively did the same thing, ran away in the worst direction that made him an easy target. had he run in even the slightest different direction he would have been hard for Gaear to shoot him due to the darkness, but he instead chose to run in the direction that the car lights were facing.

    OK...I cannot be the first one who noticed this....
    Marge draws a tiny 2" barreled snubby revolver (with a filled in barrel) as she approaches the bad guy, and shoots him with it. Then, as she steps onto the ice to approach him, she is packing a huge 4" barreled revolver, which looks like a large frame S&W magnum. The two guns are vastly different.
    I know there are always continuity mistakes in films...but why switch guns? Seems a blatant and avoidable mistake.

      I used to work as a script supervisor and that's part of our job. Continuity. I can tell you there's probably a million reasons why they screwed up. Chief among them is no communication between the props Department and the script supervisor. Especially back then the editors probably figured no one would notice because no one would have the ability to rewind and pause with perfect clarity. That is a good question though. Why the hell would they have two different kinds of prop guns? I asked the same question about why the costuming department gave that one guy in my movie a different vest and the one he was wearing before he got shot. Everyone says it was my fault for not paying attention to the vest but I asked the same question you asked. Why the hell were there two different vests? So I guess the problem lies with a script supervisor who didn't pay enough attention but in their defense the props Department shouldn't have had two different kinds of guns

      It could have something to do with the fact that a snubnose isn't very accurate at long distances VS how easily she pulls the weapon from her coat. That would be harder to do with a longer barrel. I wonder if the Coen bros just thought it was negligible.
