That’s what’s so great about her character even with all she’s accomplished solving the case getting the bad guys she’s still so supportive and happy for her husband’s painting getting on the 3 cent stamp
That IS pretty awesome. I'd be so proud.
@@d3l3tes00n Unfortunate truth: Art is hard.
that’s why she’s such a super lady
“Is this going to be comedy or drama?” …Yes.
I once went on a date with a girl and we went to see this movie. Afterwards, she told me she hated it. I immediately knew she wasn't for me.
Yah.
Yeah man, whenever I go looking for a partner all I want a carbon copy of me, with all my tastes, in a dress. That way I can pretend I'm making out with myself.
What part of body in a wood chipper doesn't scream date movie, right?
@@andrewgrant6516 What can I say... I'm an old Punk Rocker.
@@johnnyjohnny2650 There are minimal standards. First, I'm hetero, therefore she must be a woman. Secondly, she must not hate some specific things that I love. Like the movie Fargo. Or Punk Rock. Or old Country Music. Other than that, I'm good.
The Mike scene also has the effect of Marge discovering that she can be tricked if she feels sympathy for the person tricking her. After she finds out Mike lied to her, she goes right back to Jerry.
Was just coming to say this. I think that scene is instrumental to Marge eventually solving the crime.
Eh..kind of a stretch. Re-questioning people of interest just seems like normal detective work.
Ya, I originally had to hear that from someone else. B4 that, I always thought it was kind of 'off', the whole Mike scene. It didn't seem relevant to the movie... BUT, that explanation does make sense
Peter Stormare, a Swede, said that Minnesota was more Swedish than Sweden. He went into a number of restaurants that displayed the Swedish flag and pictures of the King and Queen.
Well, he kind of meant the opposite... we never have flags unless there's a national holiday or a birthdays. And most people that bother with a picture of the Knig (not a misspelling :P) have it on the wall in the bathroom. :)
You will also find a lot of family trees that trace to Norway and Bohemia. Cross the border to Wisconsin and you will find German and French heritage.
I recently heard that when American soldiers moved into Germany in 1945, they found it to be much less foreign and more like home than the Netherlands, France, and even England. Would make sense with all the German immigrants that had gone to America just one or two generations earlier. (A lot more than even English immigrants.)
Garrison Keillor once noted that many Swedes settled in Minnesota because it reminded them of their homeland. Then they realized that was why they left there in the first place.
@@edwardthorne9875 Minnesota got the highest density of Swedish migrants to the US. This with some spillover to neighbor states, they were not that concerned about the actual state borders.
"Oh my God, is this going to be a death movie?"
My brain: the wood chipper
LOL
I vote yes for reading movie trivia.
It makes your channel distinct, and you clearly have a lot of fun doing it.
Yes!
Yes. Most channels they ask questions and learn the answers from our comments off screen. It is satisfying to see her find the answers.
My husband and I (Minnesotans) saw Fargo in the theater and couldn't stop laughing on our way home because we kept hearing our own accents and colloquialisms while talking about the film. It made us aware of it. I'd always assumed we didn't have a regional accent. Little did I know.
I have to add that the topography of Minnesota is really varied and stunning. So much more than flat farm fields. Beautiful state.
Man, my sister has a very thick Minnesotan accent lol
Although cold one.
@@meanangel8114 We have four seasons, to be sure. Lots of people look forward to winter for the skiing (downhill & X-country), snowboarding, mushing, snowmobiling, skating, hockey, ice fishing, etc. Fall is my favorite season.
Ya know, felt at the time that Hollywood finally made a movie where people were talkin' normal.
I’m glad to hear that. At the time, a lot of Minnesotans at the time of the movie’s release were offended by the “exaggerated” accents, but I think most people assumed it was exaggerated to some degree for comedic effect and could only be done in that way by people who are from there like the Coen Brothers were.
LOVE THE TRIVIA! DONT EVER GET RID OF IT! That is something that sets you apart from others in this TH-camrverse. Your videos are long enough for an in depth, fun reaction, providing more insight than most others who simply watch a film, give their opinion, and end of video. Or others videos are way too long... not many people can commit to watching an hour+ long reaction in their busy schedules. Keep it up!
Fargo is the rare “perfect” film. It is insanely re-watchable (I’ve rewatched dozens of times) and is anchored by Frances Mcdormand’s epic performance as Marge Gunderson. Script, direction, cinematography and supporting cast are firing on all cylinders.
Your so right it is so rewatchable. I watch the film at least 3 times a year. Its so great have you ever watched Siskel and Eberts review on youtube such a great review
"Burn After Reading" is an underrated comedy classic from the Coen brothers. Definitely worth watching.
I love the trivia section, it's one of my fave features that is specific to your channel, and I don't mind if you make that section LONGER! If you're getting into it, no need to cut it short on our account! I always enjoy seeing what you discover; sometimes I know it already, sometimes I don't. Either way, I like seeing your reaction to it!
The scene with Mike also helps moves the plot forward, because once she realizes that he completely lied about being married, it makes her think back to her meeting with Jerry and makes her suspicious of him. If you like this movie, I'd say that the TV show is just as good if not better, at least the couple seasons I've seen. Ideally, I'd say watch the show on the channel, but it's very well made regardless. Thanks for the trivia section as usual!
At least the first 3 seasons of Fargo are worth watching. I haven’t seen the fourth.
The series is bad.
@@leonardshevlin7260 The first season of the show won an Emmy for Outstanding Limited Series! It's one thing for you to say you personally didn't like the show, but I don't think you can flat out say the show is bad with any objective truth.
My friend and I are from Minnesota. We watched it at the movie theater she managed. She was all offended. “We don’t talk like that!” “Actually, we do. “
Yah sure you betcha, we do. Less so in the Twin Cities but it creeps out.
lol it surely is our accent, it's just not as strong with most people anymore. Gotta go up North to find people with accents as strong as the movie implies. But since so many of us are Norwegian/Swedish/Finnish, that accent (which is basically just how people from those countries sound speaking English) will always probably be somewhat present!
A pretty cool piece of Coen Bros trivia is that because they had Buscemi’s character doing all the talking in Fargo, that when Steve was cast in Lebowski the script called for Goodman’s character to always tell Buscemi to “Shut the f*^k up!”
@@yt45204 That's right! I forgot about that.
This is a Minnesota accent, not midwest. The midwest accent is more generic and is considered the closest to a stereotypical American accent. It's therefore what gets chosen for many of the nationwide newscasters and journalists.
I love the trivia section! I always read the trivia for movies too.
Frances McDormand is a master actor, and she’s so brilliant in this role. She really nails the upbeat accent talking about gruesome homicide.
Nominated for 7 Oscars including Best Picture, but won for Best Actress Frances McDormand and Best Original Screenplay.
The English Patient Won Best Picture and Best Director, as well as 7 other Oscars.
I did ❤ the movie, the English Patient tho... nobody ever talks about it, and nobody's ever reacted to it.... just saying... it'd b a good reaction movie! ... and yes, it did love Fargo as well
Tough choice. I love the english patient.
Adore this movie. Really appreciate that you do the trivia bit at the end of each reaction. It’s a great way to learn more about the films. I actually wish more reactors would do stuff like that.
A couple of things about Fargo that are cool to know as well: the actress who played the wife of William H. Macy isn’t the same woman who has a hood on her head in the rest of the film. That’s an extra since it cost less money to pay an extra to wear a sheet on their head. Also, there’s one distinct parking lot scene where you can see no snow in the distance since they used artificial snow in most scenes. Just a slip-up on their part.
“Is this gonna be a death movie?!” 😂
Me: Yeah, about that…
You couldn't have better timing!! I finished Fargo (for the first time) 3 hours ago and loved it!
ps. yes I am a trivia section h*e
I saw this in the theatre. It is still one of my fave movies. The Fargo TV series is also really good. The Big Lebowski is a good movie to see after this one.
I really enjoy your trip to the trivia section. Please keep doing that!
Big fan of your trivia section. It’s a little bit of something that also sets you aside from other reactors/reviewers.
I love your trivia reading at the end of your reactions. Then again I enjoy the whole of your reactions.
Saw it in the theater when it first came out. LOVED it. I was a big fan... Blood Simple, Raising Arizona, Miller's Crossing, The Man Who Wasn't There, Hudsucker Proxy, The Big Lebowski, No Country For Old Men, Ballad Of Buster Scruggs, and Oh Brother... are all BRILLIANT and worth checking out. (there's more, but I haven't seen them, yet.). GREAT reaction, as usual, Shanelle!!
Fargo is one of my favorite films. This is one of the few films I’ve seen where you just FEEL the screenplay. Of course a lot of credit goes to the performances, but the screenplay is so strong.
I strongly recommend watching the FX series, even if you don’t do a reaction for it. Definitely a great series.
Oh yaaaaaah. I'm here for it, youbetchya!
Peter Stormare plays in a band called "Blonde from Fargo" named after his role in this movie.
At one point Peter Stormare was talking to a director about a part in a movie and the director asked him if he would be able to give a performance similar to that blonde guy from Fargo, not knowing that it was Stormare who had played that role. Stormares reply was simply no, that would be too hard for him.
Although it wasn't connected to the movie there was an awesome TV series called 'Fargo' that followed.
It actually is connected to the movie! One of the characters happens upon the money buried at the end of the movie :)
Great movie! Great reaction!
We recently lost one of the truly amazing actors. William Hurt had an incredible career. I wanted to suggest that you react to one of his movies to honor his life. I would suggest the amazing drama Children of a Lesser God (1986), the comedy/drama/romance Broadcast News (1987), the crime/detective thriller Gorky Park (1983) that takes place in Cold War Soviet Union, or The Big Chill (1983), the movie that really defined a generation. You can’t wrong with these or any of his films.
I loved the scene at the buffet, brings me back to the many trips to the buffet table I made. Loved the food.
Frances McDormand was so amazing in this. Well deserved Oscar.
Another great reaction and trivia Shanelle! If you need another Coen Brothers film, it HAS to be The Big Lebowski! I was shocked to see that you haven't as of yet watched it! Definitely up your alley! Ha!
Cheers!
OMG! As much as you love Frances McDormand, you must watch her in Three Billboards Outside Ebbing, Missouri. She won Best Actress Oscar for this performance....... as well as this movie and Nomadland. She plays a very intense character in Three Billboards. One of my top ten movies ever.
Great reaction!! One of my favorites. It’s in my top 10. I’ll watch it whenever it’s on. So glad you enjoyed it!!
So I hate to admit it but I watch Fargo many times a year.
From the theater as soon as it was on DVD and now streaming... It never gets old.
I watch it during the summer here in Az.
Going to bed at night it instantly makes your body and room feel cooler!
Lol, great movie and great reaction as usual.
Yes to the trivia section. It makes your channel unique.
Love the trivia. The subplot with Mike does add a nice slice of life and develops Marge's character a bit but also adds some verisimilitude to a story that's fiction pretending to be fact.
If I had a million bucks buried in the snow that my partner didn't know about, and he insisted on taking the stolen car with hot tags and cop's brains all over the carpet, that's now linked to six murders, I wouldn't be able to say yes fast enough. And he's going to pay me for half of it, too???
*Most definitely watch the show. They’re amazing*
Great review! Your enthusiasm adds a lot. I really enjoy the trivia section.
Marge and Norm's relationship is the kind I need
Burn After Reading is my favorite Coen Bros. movie. It actually has a somewhat similar plot to Fargo, though more generally comedic. Frances McDormand is utterly hysterical. As is George Clooney, Brad Pitt, and John Malkovich, in particular.
Yoo I'm a shameless skank for the trivia lol fun fact Steve's character donny in the big lebowski was always told to "shut the phuck up donny" by Walter to balance out how he never shut up in this lol
REALLY enjoyed your reaction! You have a gift for this.
That's so funny! Winter of '95? My friend was on a cross-country skiing trip in Minnesota then. I was watching the weather news and was worried for him. They had a low of -60F during his trip. Luckily he is the most prepared hiker/biker/camper ever. Afterwards he said he still had a couple pieces of clothing that he hadn't used yet, but some of the other people were hurting.
And they were filming this movie at the same time. What a hoot! Oh, he didn't actually know how cold it was because their thermometer stopped at -30F - probably a mercury one. Mercury goes solid at -40 so the thermometer is not doing well at -30F.
I love the trivia. It's a nice way to recap the film and relive its moments in a new context.
So glad to see this. Fargo is one of my favorite films of all time. Such a great dark comedy. Some of the funniest scenes in film history-my favorites being the snow shoveling conversation and meeting the old classmate. My dad and I consistently quote this movie.
I absolutely love your review and trivia section 😊😊
Love the reactions. It’s amazing that being such a huge fan of films and filmmaking, that you’ve never seen the majority of films you review. How can that be? Glad you’ve been catching up.
I really enjoy the trivia and facts at the end of your videos...
I always enjoy the trivia segments in your videos. I'm not too far into the video, but if you haven't seen 'No Country for Old Men,' it's really good. Good review so far.
Her take on the a few things in that movie would be interesting. Quite unique.
Great reaction to a great movie! You’ve quickly become my favorite TH-cam reactor. Your analysis of the whole process, predictions fed by a knowledge of film, your enthusiasm, your curiosity… the latter feeding into the trivia section which I’m also a fan of. I might, uh, have a crush on you, too. Seeing you on my screen makes me happy in much the way you seeing Frances McDormand makes you happy
One of the best movies ever! I love how the criminals are all so amazingly stupid. Jerry pays ex cons with a car that can be traced back to where he works. He's paying them $40k to pick up a bag with a million dollars in it. The kidnappers forget to put their tags on their car. Carl thinks he's being smart by stealing plates from another car, but then chooses a place that probably has cameras and then makes a huge scene with the toll gate guy to make sure he is clearly remembered. It goes on and on. The only smart character in the story, besides Margie, is Jerry's kid who asks all the questions that the adults should be asking. It's total Keystone cops!
Well the 40k thing wasnt really Jerrys fault was it? He intended to take the money himself but the father in law insisted on doing it instead. He wouldve switched out the money and given the 80k to the ransomers who wouldve assumed that was all the money.
@@ComicCrossing As if the kidnappers wouldn't have looked into the money bag before handing it over to Jerry--if they even gave it to him at all. One of the countless things that Jerry should have considered.
@@norwegianblue2017 I'm saying Jerry probably assumed he would get the money from his father in law, take out the rest on his way over and give the kidnappers the case with 40k in it. Not that his father in law would insist on being so involved.
Hey Shan. Minnesota nice is a real thing. Born and raised. The accents and phrases are obviously over the top which kind of pissed a lot of people off. But I found it hilarious. Being born and raised in Minnesota but my dad from Indiana and my mom from Michigan. I don't have a heavy Minnesota accent. But I hear it in everybody else. Oh yeah, geez it's there when they talk. That was fun. And keep the trivia I don't even know why that's an issue. It's interesting and it totally separates you from other reactors. As always you're awesome. So yeah, we'll see you next time then ❤️💚☘️🇺🇦
I was so excited to see this come up! This was my mom's favorite movie. :) My mom and I were born in Wisconsin and my "home" accent is very close to this, lol. I can fall into it so easily. Watching this made me miss my mom so much.
Love the commentary and faq you do at the end!! Really like this movie it’s a gem- 10/10 it’s always so much fun to watch you watch movies!
Seems like many Coen Brothers movies utilize heavy regional accents and have the films' locations act as supporting characters, in a way. Fantastic storytelling!
Fargo is a great movie to watch with Roger Deakins' commentary on. Tons of really subtle things that really sell the film that you hardly notice, but are clearly there when pointed out.
Love the trivia section and your reactions to the trivia.
If u enjoyed Frances McDormand in this u need to check out Three Billboards Outside Ebbing, Missouri (2017), she won her second oscar for her performance in that film and has magnificent performances from both Woody Harrelson and Sam Rockwell in it and is written and directed by Martin McDonagh, one of the best writer/directors working right now.
Her role in THREE BILLBOARDS is like the perfect opposite of Margie and she also won a Third Oscar just last year for NOMADLAND (from the director who just did Marvel's ETERNALS). One more and she'll tie with Katherine Hepburn for Most Best Actress Oscar Wins
Francis McDermott does a lot of good work. A lot of people don't remember this but she had a part in the final season of Hill Street Blues. I used to watch that on my black and white TV I had in my bedroom as a kid.
Such a fantastic film, a real emotional journey.
It's so sad that the daughters remains in the case that the film is based on still haven't been found in 2022 🎥😢
th-cam.com/video/tft09VpllvU/w-d-xo.html
Loved her in Blood Simple
At the end talking about teaching them to speak Minnesotan, I couldn't help thinking of the same situation Kate Winslet went though trying to get a particular dialect of Pennsylvania. She does a wonderful crack up of SNL doing a take on her.
I can't explain why love your channel so much.
Not long after this came out, there was a store in the mall (Spencer's), where you could buy a snow globe of her throwing up next to the bloody car wreck.
You made my weekend Shan
For some reason the style of this movie always reminds me of an old detective mini movie series called "Columbo". Just that knowing the criminal in advance, affable sleuth, criminal slipping up, etc etc etc. Good series if you ever have the time!
More than good.
Hey, Shanelle.
Long time watcher, first time commenter. Loved your react to this classic.
I'm a Long Island boy (Suffolk County). I left N.Y. in '96 and lived in Arizona for a long time. Now I'm in Illinois. I like you a lot because you remind me of all the Long Island girls/women I miss so much. Keep up the good work.
I'm mainly commenting to say I love the trivia section. You're the only one who does it. So keep it going. I learn many things I didn't know about my favorite movies. Fargo definitely being one of them. Peace. 🤘😎🤘
Iconic flick. We've been quoting lines from this and other Cohen movies for so many years now......Total fun.
Great movie. Check out the FARGO TV show also, every season has been amazing! No Frances McDormand though in the TV show but each season is different and wonderfully done - writing, acting, directing. 🤩
Yes! Frances McDormand is an absolute treasure. One of my favorite films. Still love the trivia, Shanelle.
I love the trivia.. (and i love your voice its relaxing for me)
Saw it in the theaters and it's an enduring favorite for myself, friends, family and all the other Michiganders in my life. I think you nail it as far as how the lurid story contrasts with the chipper mundanity. I love the Coens and this is maybe their best.
He he, “chipper”… I see what you did there.
As a native Minnesotan, I love this movie. The accents are exaggerated for the cities, but you can certainly find them on the Iron Range. The music is just... right in the feels. It's really a classic movie.
I love the trivia section.
I’m so sad William Hurt passed away, I been watching his movies for over 40 years, thanks Shanelle for reacting to this classic
Same here. William Hurt was one of my faves. He delivered some of my favorite performances of all time in ‘The Big Chill’, ‘Kiss of the Spider Woman,’ ‘Children of a Lesser God,’ ‘Broadcast News,’ and ‘The Accidental Tourist.’
R.I.P. to the great thespian.
As always, your takes on the filmmaking are fascinating.
Saw this in theatre, so good!
I love this movie. It's my favorite Coen Brothers film next to O Brother Where Art Thou. Franny Mc is insanely good; so is William H. Macy. I love how almost every scene with Marge and Norm together involves eating. The two of them are comedy gold.
I enjoy your reactions, and yes, I enjoy the trivia.
thank you I really enjoyed your reaction.
Marge Gunderson is my all-time favorite movie cop!
Trivia Ho Squad checking in!
Fargo is a wonderful movie from the Coen Brothers . Another is the b&w film noir, The Man Who Wasn’t There. It stars Billy Bob Thornton, James Gandolfini and Scar Jo.
Saw it in the theatre when it came to Sweden back in '96. First time I remember seeing Peter Stormare (who's Swedish) in anything. He's been in lots of stuff since then. Absolutely loved it.
Not sure how interested you are in TV, but the Fargo TV show is absolutely amazing. The first two seasons especially. It's not like a remake or anything of this movie, it's just new stories told in this kind of dark, comedic, Fargo-y way. Truly, truly some of the best TV of the last decade, however. Highly recommend to check out in your personal time.
Roger Deakins did the cinematography on Fargo and Oh Brother Where Art Thou. He was the cinematographer on a lot of Coen Bros movies including No Country For Old Men
His work on No Country was incredible! Some of those shots were heartbreakingly good.
@@goldenageofdinosaurs7192 👍👍
I first watched it in film appreciation class in about 2004. The fact that it was on laser disc and projected in the theater sized lecture hall added to cinematic experience.
So glad you watched this!
I love this movie. I remember telling on of my cousins to watch it, but she didn't get it at all. She said "you said this was a comedy, people died." Lol
I am also a trivia junky. I look up the IMDB trivia all the time.
HELL yes. Shanelle watching Fargo and I'm SO in. :) Might be my favorite movie ever made.
I had chills when I learned a movie I'd be working on years ago (as an underling) called "The Cooler" would involve Mr. Macy. I spent a few weeks with him, driving him around, and even when we had to work all night, he insisted that the bar stay open so he could buy us all beers in the morning. Such a nice guy and I love this movie so much!
Shanelle!! The Ladykillers!! You will love it!!
I SIMPLY ADORE YOU & YOUR CONTENT OF THE YOU TUBES. CHEERS
I still remember when I first saw that movie. I had no idea what to expect and I loved it. It is still one of my favourite movies.
I have watched a few of your reactions in the last few days. I wondered why do I recognize her. Remembered your face and said "oh ya she's cool" from about 4 months ago. U popped up on my feed and now I am subscribing cutie pie...lol
Your channel will go far. Nice, thorough job and you're very charming.
Oh yaaaa great reaction yaaaaa.
Memories of seeing that Paul Bunyan statue, and thinking 'This isn't Bangor Maine...'
I love Frances McDormand also! You should see her as the "scary, but well-intentioned mom" in Almost Famous. Positively a great movie for you to react to!
She's reacted to it.
Almost Famous is a fantastic movie!
Very nice reaction video. You notice the same things in movies i do. Like the one shot on that empty parking lot to not mess up the snow and so on. :)
Cheers.
