Every Coen Brothers movie seems like a fascinating inside joke.
That's a GREAT way to put it.
yaaasss
Who are you quoting on this
except no country for old men haha
@@nerdinvader6740 Joel: hey ethan wouldn't it be funny if we made a film like without any kind of music.
Ethan: Hahahahahah it would be sooo funny !!!
Charlie Rose is an insufferable jerk, crappy interviewer, and constantly interrupts the talent. The Coens and McDormand are at the top of their craft, and deserve better.
Yes.
schwartzenheimer1
I don’t really agree
I like him (as an interviewer)
He asks good questions and does listen
@@ruly8153 All opinions welcome. It's what makes the world an interesting place...
You betcha ya. Island movie for me
Frances ❤
Is it just me, but Coen- brothers reminding me 'funny-looking-guy' and 'Marlboro-man' at this video.
Joel speaks little more.
she should have gave Mike an HJ
There is sense of voyeur about their films.....calm watching of very crazy people.....without judgement or comment.
Margie and norm were so cute , I love the simplicity of their lives together and the joy they brought one another I feel like they embodied what marriage was all about . Awesome writing I love this movie so much
Mikeyybands🔋 The movie is ridiculing them, showing how horribly wrong their approach to life is. It’s almost like the whole point of it.
@@yelbirkazhykarim3518 defend that statement, I think the movie is not particularly mocking them
That is the type of relationship I want. Good luck 😂🤞
Is that why she had a secret liason with the chinese guy ? Cuz she was so cute...and pregnant ?
@@degsbabe What liaison? She was meeting him as a friend, I think that's very clear in the movie. His intentions were way different and as soon as she saw that, she was out of there.
Charlie can't shut up...he's a master at talking over his guest's.
It’s like watching the left side of someone’s brain and the right side of someone’s brain sit down and have a conversation over coffee
Check out an interview with the brothers Quay sometime. Identical twins who literally embody what you describe.
Frances' character was great to watch, and Frances is a tremendous actress.
Perfect example of what was so frustrating about this show. It was the only place you could find extended interviews with the people you wanted to see, but the price of admission was that you had to endure the insufferable Charlie Rose.
Karma though, got to him in the end.
@@sundromos9456 I don't miss him one bit. But, as Eric said above, I definitely do miss these kinds of interviews with these kinds of people.
Hear, hear.
He created a great format and then did his best to undermine it. There's one part where McDormand is about to say something insightful about why the film captured the public, but Charlie tries to complete the answer for her. Just stop talking, man. There's a reason why you invited these people to your set. Let them talk. Larry King is still the "king" when it comes to pointed questions and lots of listening.
Absolutely terrible interviewer.
I love Frances McDormand's voice. I could listen to it all day, I wish she'd narrate some books or something!
I wish she would do a cookie commercial 🍪
Nice of McDormand and the Coen Brothers to join Charlie Rose interviewing himself...
Jeez - that's a cool and fitting comment! (Still chuckling)
@@Berniewahlbrinck oh yah
For a guy who got to do long form interviews with a 'serious' black backdrop, Charlie Rose asked a lot of pedestrian questions and wasn't great at listening to his interview subjects.
All his interviews are like that.
Charlie Rose often asked run-on questions that basically answered themselves by the time he finished talking. I would have loved to have been interviewed by him and then just answering one of those question with a simple "no." :D
I find him a seriously weak interviewer. I hate his personality.
He never listens.
Agreed - he seems to think his follow ups are these brilliant ideas that only he could make up
Oh my god Charlie Rose, shut up and let Mrs. McDormand answer the question!
thank you. I think he's shut up now.
I literally scrolled down to comment the same thing. 90s was not that different of times. i mean youd think hed get the message from her character in the movie
Charlie Rose, could NEVER shut his mouth. He asks a question, then he answers it himself. He has to show everyone how smart he is. Terrible interviewer, the worst ever.
@. Ahh, the days before TH-cam; before people hid behind avatars and the anonymity of the internet and boldly called others 'soy boy...' and named themselves " . " Empty channel, empty head. .
@. Hey look, it's another internet tough guy!
They grew up a half block away from where I live, though I didn’t live there at the time. Their parents lived there until the late 90’s. Very quiet, intelligent people.
McDormand has something of Jane Fonda and Sigourney Weaver to her aura and energy.
Sort of. But she's a much better actor than both .
She's also married to one of them.
@@bartstarr100 joel coen
@@bartstarr100 What does that have to do with her looking like Jane Fonda and Sigourney Weaver?
I lived in Fargo when I was a kid. This movie was spot on! The people there really talk like the characters (“Yah, you betcha!” “Uffda!”), the landscape, for the most part, really is a flat, barren wide-open space, it’s like “American Siberia” in the winter, everyone is Norwegian and they all really do have last names like Gustafson, Gunderson, and Lundegaard. Watching this movie, was like going back in time for me. All the details, right down to the split-level architecture of the houses up there, was so accurate. It’s probably the most bizarre place I’ve ever lived, but I have some very fond memories of Fargo.
The looooooong smirk on Ethan's face is a dead give away that this is NOT based on a true story. Let's play poker.
It is. Loosely based, but based none the less.
a highway patrol officer is murdered on the job and not one patrol officer appears in the movie, after the murder...
The only part that’s true is that a guy once tried to dispose of his wife’s remains by putting them through a wood chipper
@@gregbors8364that was the inspiration. I remember that crime. The police did a dna analysis as the criminal wasn’t caught during the use of the chipper.
Well, the interview was enjoyable despite Charlie Rose, who from what I've seen never seems to prepare well for his interviews, but who nonetheless wants to pass himself off as the urbane sophisticate. (Ugh, these stupid questions, like "if you had to make a big blockbuster movie" -- what an utterly inane conversational gambit. Just so random and unengaged, so ungrounded in the moment.) But all three rolled with it well: down-to-earth, straightforward, likeable, intelligent.
I thought they are twins...Cause of polarity of personalities...Ethan is happy, energetic...and Joel is like some dark calm serial killer :D
Lol, he has definitely become darker over the years, he doesn't laugh much these days.
@@vb8428 he directs the movies
@@smak387 They both do and have gone to direct separately of late
Charlie Rose made himself the center of attention, not what a good interviewer does.
He always does
Really? In what ways? Can you give me examples of him making it about himself here? He's very confident, but I don't really see him talking about himself. Everyone else here is a bit shy, so perhaps the juxtaposition with his confidence is why you think Charlie is making it about himself. I don't know.
Rose was right up there with Larry King for being one of the least prepared interviewers on TV.
I thought you were gonna praise him there. Good on ya. Charlie Rose isn't very good
and annoying ones too, their egos always trying to "compete" with guests
Charlie Rose: "Good luck with Fargo". It was already a hit.
True, he should have said: "Congratulations for Fargo".
One of the movies I can watch time and time again.
America isn't just Los Angeles or New York. Nice to be reminded that it's a whole lot stranger in the middle.
Charlie's ego always gets in the way. He's a mediocre interviewer.
FIND ME ONE INTERVIEWER WHO MAKES IT MORE STRICTLY ABOUT THE ART AND CRAFT AND ABOUT THE INTERVIEWEES than CHARLIE and I’ll agree to you.
@@KushagraaDubeyy Howard Stern, Oprah and Barbara Walters are three off the top of my head who don't feel the need to constantly interrupt and just let the other person talk. Even Dick Cavett was better. Charlie interrupts far too much to be considered a good interviewer.
@@frodofraggins fuck oprah
You can tell by their demeanour that they live on a different level, Ethan is my new hero. True artists. I see so many of my friends in them. The people who don't care about being popular, just creating and exploring. True Geniuses. Two fold for Frances Mcdormand, probably one of the brightest clearsighted people in the world. All true inspirations.
Colin Ritchot
What a COENcidince
They don't look like they put up with much BS. Best filmmakers ever for my money.
If Charlie would stop interrupting people trying to answer his own question, that'd be nice.
I wish I could forget faster in order to watch FARGO more often. Seen it over the years at least 5-6 times .
I watched it more than 6 times and I will watch it again so good for u .
In addition to having watched it 6-7 times, Fargo is also the only film that I've watched 2 times in a row. Like, I finished watching it one day and immediately watched it again.
5-6 times...Those are rookie numbers in this racket. You need to pump those numbers up lol.
I have never watched it. I will one of these days. I really love the art of Joel and Ethan. And everyone involved in their other films. My favourite is probably Inside Llewyn Davis. But there are so many.
Frances made Fargo great
And Macy didn't?
sclogse1 they both were great.
Everyone and everything made Fargo great, but Frances and her character are a standout for sure!
That's a fountain of conversation man! That's a geyser!!
McDormand, Macy and Buscemi made Fargo a masterpiece
These guys are good at what they do :)
And Charlie isn't
@@merlinsiervo couldn't agree with you more!
The part about a car salesman faxing illegible VIN numbers to auditors was based on a true story.
“Yeah well, I exist alright!”
"Hey Norm...I thot you was goin' ice fishin' out at Mille Lacs?"
I never get tired of watching Fargo and Im grateful for talented, driven, warm, and genuine people! I know that's hard to say about 3 people I don't know but to me these 3 are all of those and it's easy to see!
Fargo is still, and always will be cutting edge, and the characters are absolutely great! 😈
The Coen brothers ARE Matt Parker and Trey Stone in disguise. Finally figured it out
It's Matt Stone and Trey Parker.
so who is this interviewer exactly? he always makes such great interviews. all these vids don't give credits in the desciption. really hope to find an answer
JOEL COEN: "We let go of the movie and it then becomes the invention of the actors." No wonder why they land such stellar performances! You can watch one of their movies a hundred times and see something different in each and every viewing.
It’s also the mark of a great director, because the director is behind the camera. It’s all about the actors. They’re the ones making the director look good. This is something Tarantino misunderstood later in his career. Django on, he was forcing the audience to play his stupid game of “catch my reference” and “look at this Tarantino-ism.”
On Oscar night, when it came time for "Best Actress," I wanted it BAD for McDormand, a performance like I've never seen before. When she won, I remember jumping to my feet and screaming, "THERE IS A GOD,THERE IS A GOD!!!" I think my neighbors thought that there was a religious maniac living right next to them.
You Betcha....
Cool story bro .utter B.S but cool story bro
lol
@@johnsmith-wx5fb Why would it be BS? When Nicole Kidman won, I was screaming with joy for minutes. People thought I went mental.
There is no God, only Oscar voters, and they can be bribed
why doesn't he let her talk? he starts talking again the second he asks her the question
I never saw Rose "cut off" McDormand. You must remember, being a good interviewer is a little like being the director of a Three Ring circus. You must highlight the central characters (the Coen Brothers) and involve the secondary guests too, but always, ALWAYS concentrate on the core subjects. If you noticed by Frances' delighted expression, she seemed just thrilled to be on the same dais with these two directors.
thats what he does
He's a FREAK
@@tiffsaver Go to 5:28. She trying to respond to the topic of the exotic nature of "Fargo", and she brings up the locale and the dialects involved. Rose steps all over her second point so he can interrupt her and add his own embellishment to her first point. If she's seems good with it, it's just because she's a good sport and expects it because she already knows he's a dick.
@@kennethlatham3133
LOL. If you'll notice, the BEST interviewers always let the guest do most of the talking... and OH, GEEZ... MERRY CHRISTMAS!!!
Frances McDormand is the absolute best actress when it comes to playing a natural normal woman, she always is great at playing your everyday person
THE STAR OF THE FILM IS SITTING RIGHT THERE AND HE TREATS HER LIKE A LACKEY
David Ayer
Not really
Well he apparently makes female employees look at and flush his crap-filled toilets at his house or hotel, right? One of the stranger MeToo accusations.
wish the Cohen Brothers would do their version of Deliverance
so funny watching them lie to him about it being a true story... brilliant
I wonder if Charlie was wearing pants during this interview.
tee-hee
We soon found out if he was wearing pants
Imagine this. They were so incredibly successful in 1997. And they went on to make The Big Lebowski and O Brother where Art Thou and No Country for Old Men and Inside Llewin Davis. These guys are simply amazing.
In 4 consecutive years they directed, written and edited No Country For Old Man, Burning After Reading, A Serious Man and True Grit. These guys are a movie-making machine.
I love these guys.They are so talented !
Barton Fink, Raising Arizona, and The Big Lebowski are my all-time favorites.
Fargo and No country for old men are amazing as well.
Francis was better (in my opinion) in Golden Boys. She is not faking a Minnesota accent.
All in all, Rose is a pretty lame interviewer,
Nondescript can you explain why?
I agree. I have heard Charlie Rose say his show is more of a discussion, which I could care less what he thinks -- I am more interested in what the people have to say. Rose constantly interrupts with his comments, which makes for a disjointed, frustrating experience for the viewer. It's not about YOU Charlie Narcissist Rose.....STFU and let the people talk. I watched CR for years, but many times came away frustrated from his schizophrenic interview technique. He talks way too much.
Anyone that can manage to make the Coen's sit in front of a camera and actually have a good time talking about their work is doing OK IMHO
@@theguardian8317 and now a creepy old man.
@@johnsinclair1447 Nailed it, Charlie Rose, total narcissist, thinks he’s the smartest person in the room. He could interview Einstein and tell him he got it all wrong.
I would have liked more input from Francis, that’s why I watched.
McDormant killed Marge. Amazing. They all did great but McDormant's performance together with the intelligent yet simple character stood out. She persisted...lol.
I developed a huge crush for her because of Fargo
Well I don't think anybody would disagree here! This is a good movie don't ya know. Yah William H Macy stayed up all night to study the dialect, so there was no way he wasn't going to get the part. Yah I liked it. It was dramatic and funny
I always liked the "date" Buschemi had with her comic face expressing mock horror, misery, disappointment, and disgust. Very expressive moment.
Half the fun of this is watching Ethan when he’s not talking
Joel & Ethan did step out, so to speak, with Intolerable Cruelty and The Ladykillers remake, the rough equivalent of what Hollywood used to call 'programmers'. They're considered two of the Coens' weaker films, although they did make enough money to bankroll the next few 'true' Coen brothers movies, which I think was the plan all along. If the media of the time is to be believed, they had troubles raising money for an adaptation of To The White Sea, with Brad Pitt attached and working for scale.
Like Speilberg, the Cohen Brothers have and genre that only they can define. Their films have an under current of strange seriousness or outright bullshit comedy. And when it's needed, they know how to mix the two. I put them up there with Billy Wilder and to a certain extent, Frank Capra.
Duuuude, how can you say that?
Never seen any of the films mentioned except Fargo...an excellent film...almost a classic. The wood chipper scene was based on a real event in Connecticut in which a guy killed his wife and put her body in a wood chipper.
He's almost disrespectful disinterested when responding to Francis. And yes, LISTEN!
Agreed. He was piggish and demeaning.
Probably the most consistent filmmakers ever.
Nolan
@@smak387oh no, the Coens are mikes ahead. Nolan is too often a blunt instrument where his characters talk down to you as if you’re a child. There’s always a character who’s only purpose is to explain the plot. The Coens don’t do that.
@@smak387 Nolan is consistent alright
@@Whaddayamean13 great point. Nolan also can be over-complicated
we come from low budget filming, we still practice it, i think thats beautiful
Oh, yah you betcha,
Ya got that right,.
Yur Darn toot'in,.
Alrighty then!
Whaat ya meeannt..
@@blueticecho5690 What the Christ!
OK, real good!
such bad accents. not sure people in MN actually talk like that....way over the top. She is a good actress but to me this was not her best role.
Aww, Jeez
Thank you for this .i love the coen brothers
This movie is now available to watch heere => twitter.com/a8f5a5822f4bf83be/status/824452700960026624
They’re the coen sisters now, they chopped off their weiners
@@Rayray-zu1hd no, they're still brothers, just eunuchs - surgically altered men.
"How do you....talk to somebody."
thank you for that 😄
an interview with the Coen Bros and Frances McDormand Starring: Charlie Rose
Yeah, he seems to think he's at a party carrying half the conversation.
Lol exactly, he's always like that, so pretentious
Dumb and dumber, this is a joke right?
The most creative original brothers in our time - if they were British - they should be knighted for they contribution to film.
Why do these interviewers always like to hear themselves talk more than the people they are interviewing?
Charlie Rose is as bas as Larry King. Neither one of them can shut up.
Love this film and the long-form sequels just as much. What do you all think of them?
The TV sequels are so impressive..considering how disastrous it could've been to follow the original...I've rewatched the first 3 seasons multiple times 2 is my favourite but they're all excellent..what's your favourite?
@@pabloc1788 season 2 is probably the best season in a tv show iv ever seen IMO
Man I know IMDB wasn't super well established in 1997, but Rose and his staff could have done SOME research.
This interviewer needs to find a new job.
charlie rose did it for a while
One of my all-time favorite films. Thank you all !
They really look like they could perfectly star in their own films
if they made cartoons they would be called trey parker and matt stone.
Terrible interviewer
Wow, a whole 5 seconds of film clip! I guess they didn't want to give too much away.
all 3 interviewees were shocked that Charlie Rose unironically asked them if the title "Fargo" was the Coen's joking about how far in hollywood they would go... the fuck is wrong with Rose
I’d give it a thumbs up if it weren’t for the nauseating Charlie Rose. It’s not for his abusive tendencies, but for his ‘journalistic’ (a big reach there) skills.
My favorite movie hands down. I was living in Germany managing an Irish pub in Baumholder and the only entertainment was the video store. I saw it on the shelf and the cover caught me. I watched it by myself in my apartment and I was like, what the hell was that??? Utter brilliance.

Joel looks like Jesus.
Frances's face is jusst mezmorizing... I could watch her talk and smile all day..
Note that pallid green cast in the hair, jacket, etc. We all had this when we watched the show, kinda figuring it had something to do with it being beamed by satellite. But it never made sense that a product of a major network would look like this.
Good GOD I'd forgotten how unbearable Rose was.
I think Charlie Rose summarizes the movie incorrectly (15:30) . . . Lundegaard needs the money to cover his GMAC fraud, not to buy into the real estate scheme.
Minnesota is the state from which an American dentist trophy hunter murdered Cecil the Lion, an iconic lion, on the border of Hwange National Park, Zimbabwe.
Dear God you know it’s a bad interviewer when you’re just praying for him to shut up more than actually being able to take in what’s said.
Fargo is in North Dakota. Why do they all say it's Minnesota?
The film takes place (for the most part) in Brainerd & the Twin Cities.
Because it says so in the opening title "these events happened in Minnesota." Have you not seen the movie?
The casting is so perfect, that’s why each movie is so great
To me, this is the most perfectly cast movie I have ever seen. Just wonderful.
I like how Joel always peers over the tops of his purples when looking at anything. Both anatomical and intentional for effect.
Frances Mcdormand is one of the best actresses ive ever seen in 57 years , shes also a beautiful lady
Typical host. Most about him less about the subjects. Could have been so much better with just the brothers and video.
it's funny to see the GLASSES of water instead of today's BOTTLES of water-
Charlie Rose has always had a uniquely dreadful personality and interview style
Charlie Rose you hogged the mic way to much and we want to hear your guests=Not You~!!!
Gee, too bad what happen' tuh CHAH-LEE?
Yah.
Rose?
Yah.
Charlie Rose ---8 women accused him of sexual harassment. He was sooo full of himself you can see it.
Ethan is so cute!! His mannerisms and smile. :) 🥰
