FARGO Season 1 Episode 1: The Crocodile's Dilemma Reaction | First Time Watching
th-cam.com/video/DVEQP8q5MXM/w-d-xo.html
Steve Buscemi’s character in The Big Lebowski was constantly being told to STFU because of his character from Fargo constantly talking
Nominated for 6 Oscars including Best Picture but won for Best Original Screenplay and Best Actress Frances McDormand.
The Mike Yanagita scene is actually quite simple - and very integral to the film. Mike’s a really good liar. He tells a story about marrying a woman they both know, but died of cancer. Then Marge is told that none of that happened. The realisation makes her remember how bad of a liar Jerry was when she met him first time round. He actually came across as suspicious, and she let him off. This inspires her to interview him again, then he flees the interview, and the case gets blown wide open. It may seem off, but it's the catalyst that really sets it all in motion. In the TV series, there's a "Mike Yanagita" scene in every season.
After first watching it, I questioned the reason for that scene and then it made sense to me later on. That's brilliant story telling to advance the plot.
The scene further illustrates Marge's underlying toughness of character as someone who, while being superficially bland "Minnesota nice" with a sometimes doofus-y accent, is no chump and will (politely) set boundaries, as in "No, why don't you sit over there --I prefer that."
I grew up around Minnesota and we used to talk like that. ☝️😏👍 A lot of Finnish and Swedish immigrants.
My dad is from Minnesota and his parents were 1st generation Norwegian. They do talk like this;)
I'm from Scandinavia and the first time I saw this movie I was like "Ja - These people are part of the tribe".
@@hildajensen6263 I loved visiting Minnesota growing up👆
@@jannathompson2262 Yep, many Norwegians also. 😏👍
Yahhhhh
It wasn't based on a true story the directors put that in there to give the movie more weight. Some people were angry when they found out.
Not really. People knew it wasn’t real when it was released. They figured it was a composite.
How would someone going to see this in the theaters in1996 know that statement shown on the screen wasn't true?@@hrussell9677
I don't see why people would be angry though, I mean this stuff happens all the time, maybe not exactly like this, but everything in this film happens probably ever single day in this country. But I guess at the time, when true crime wasn't a huge hit on every single channel like today, they probably invested a lot of stock in this tale and got too emotionally invested in the victims. Nowadays a girl goes missing and it's just nothing like it was in 1990 when a girl went missing and the entire country looked for her. And let's be real here, nearly every movie that uses "inspired by/based on true events", is full of BS. I don't think any "true story" was ever even 75% true.
And it also underlines the movie’s themes of lying and truth.
@15:12..."Jerry's a dumb ass." Yep. Pretty much says it all. =X-D
So cool that you guys are watching this!! I really hope that you consider watching the TV series! All of it, every single bit of it, is such an interesting storyline! Thank you for sharing your wonderful journey through cinematic history!
One of the best films ever👍👍🙏
Glad that you both enjoyed "Fargo" What a terrific multiple Oscar winning film. It's a real classic!
The Coen Brothers make such unique and interesting movies. I think you would appreciate "No Country for Old Men." Its a classic.
We actually reacted to it on Devin’s channel! It was great!
@@snackandreact Who doesnt like Fargo!? :) such a great movie. PLEASE do yourselves a favour and watch the TV series that came from it. (listen hit me, up im a freak filter , i know ALL the good stuff. you know like rain man? well im that for movies n tv) TOP SHELF stuff. Fargo the TV show. - OKOK quick hit list for you guys. Whiplash, the Favourite, Palm Springs, Edge of Tomorrow, Mad Max 2: The Road Warrior. Witness (Harrison ford), Papillon (steve mcqueen), What we do in the Shadows (the movie), The Shining,,, i could go on and on. Thanks heaps and have a great day.
Fargo and No Country have similar themes, but where Sheriff Ed Tom Bell feels both baffled and “overmatched”, Sheriff Marge Gunderson is only baffled by the criminal’s motivation. Sheriff Marge finds refuge in her loving relationship with her husband (and by extension, we find relief in their homey domestic scenes) but Sheriff Ed finds no relief (although his marriage seems loving).
It could be a difference in personality or it could be a difference in their gender roles. Are men more prone to existential crisis? I don’t know, I have no basis for comparison.
(I want to note that Marge and Norm don’t conform to all the stereotypical roles. Norm says with conviction, “You gotta have breakfast”. I could go on about their marriage. They’re so damn cute.)
Quite possibly the most perfect movie ever made. It's got it all. Drama, comedy, sex, violence, emotional relatability... I dunno. Greed is the thing that unravels the thing that makes us all human. On top of that, the film was set in an environment that most Americans don't know about. Which only amplifies the entertaining message behind it all. I could go on and on about why FARGO is sublime, but I think y'all will get it once you think about it for more than a minute..
There were cell phones in 1996. They were pretty basic, and there wasn't always coverage, but coverage was expanding. In the movie Pretty Woman (1990), Richard Gere's character uses a huge, clunky cell phone, and in City Slickers (1991) one of the characters keeps phoning home from the wilderness to find out about the baseball scores, but his friend in New York keeps fading away because the signal can't always reach him in the rough terrain. Good times. No one imagined there could ever be such a thing as a smartphone.
Another good movie from 1996 was The Birdcage.
However, I believe the movie is set in 1987 and during that time cell phones were pretty much relegated to what were then known primarily as "car phones" and taking one out of the car involved carrying a separate lunchbox sized battery
@@Lethgar_Smith Damn good point. It never occurred to me. Thanks.
LOL i love that Devin was immediately like "What if they're lying or joking when they say it's a true story" because he's right, they legit are. Sorry if someone else said this already, i didn't read all the comments.
The TV series is excellent. Each season is a different storyline but all are excellent. I was suspicious that the TV series could be as could as the movie but it is quite well made. Highly recommend. BTW, Marge (played by the wife of one of the Coen Brothers, Frances McDormand) is the moral compass of the story. Her demeanor and reaction to the murders represents the audience as well as the goodness vs. evil in the world.
one of the most symtathic reacter couples on TH-cam. Always a pleasure to watch.
Thank you so much!!
24:37 "Oh yeah! My son; the kid of both me & my wife!"
Watching this at 18 I just laughed & thought Jerry was a goof, almost 30 now & Jerry really is a terrible person LMAO
You gotta love these movies that have such a great counterweight of humor or levity to lighten what is actually a very violent and tragic tale. The Cohen Brothers and Tarantino are so good at it.
The woodchipper, together with the fake foot and leg, is a highlight of the city museum in Fargo (even though the film was not shot there).
That’s hilarious!!
The Coen brothers never disappoint. One of my favorites is "Raising Arizona". It's a great comedy. You'll both love it!
This one of the best movies of all time. Cohen Brothers movies are always A+
I just found your channel and you two are truly stellar! I felt like I was relaxing and watching a great movie with two close friends. And the dynamic between you two is so damn wonderful! 😃❤️
And yes, this film is such a masterpiece. There’s a reason why, in 2006, “Fargo” was selected for preservation in the United States National Film Registry by the Library of Congress as "culturally, historically, or aesthetically significant"-one of only seven films designated in its first year of eligibility.
Awww thank you so much!! Glad to have you with us!
@@snackandreact You’re very welcome! Can’t wait to dive into your channel and I’ll be awaiting each and every new video! 😃♥️😂
❤️
Love Your Energy , Thx for the Entertainment 👍👊
Thanks for the support!!
@@snackandreact You deserve it 👍👊🧐
If you like the crime-themed Coen brother movies, check out Blood Simple, Miller's Crossing and The Man Who Was Not There.
Wade (the grandfather) may have hesitated to shoot Carl a second time for fear that if Carl died, his daughter might never be found or be executed by the remaining kidnapper (which happened anyway.) Or, having already taken a bullet, Wade may have been going into shock and simply no longer thinking cogently enough to take second shot at Carl--which we all wish he had!
I always theorized that he was just so incapacitated by getting shot that he couldn't manage to get off a second shot.
You guys have to watch the tv series it’s so good
I enjoyed watching this classic with you guys. Subscribed.
I love this movie
Absolutely one of my favorite movies ever ❤
Your intro alone tells me this is gon be a fun ride. Coz y'all have no idea what wonderful craziness is coming your way. And I think your personalities will genuinely enjoy the sense of humor here. I'm about to see. :)
I was right. 👍
We loved it!! Thanks for watching and judging us correctly! 🩷
@@snackandreact My pleasure
It snowed October 30th. 😂Norwegian- Minnesotan here, Ya, we talk like that.🤣 Some of us still speak 🇳🇴🇸🇪🇫🇮🇩🇰 at home and the accent is thicker than molasses.
Won two Oscars: Best Actress for Frances McDormand as Marge, and Best Original Screenplay for Joel and Ethan Coen.
Also was nominated for five other Oscars, including Best Picture, Best Director (technically, Joel and Ethan Coen directed it together, but rules at the time allowed only one name, so Joel was given the nomination because he's the older of the two), and Best Supporting Actor for William H. Macy as Jerry.
Look at you two snuggling just like Marge and Norm at the end. Guess you're doin' pretty good too.
We are 🥰
@@snackandreact Will sub and love you forever if you carry on and react to Fargo seasons 1 and 2¬ ♥
You should do both regardless! 😊😂
Banger for sure. Enjoyed the show. Thanks
Margie a badass frfr 😁😉👍
@40:38 ... THAT HOWL! It almost knocked my headphones off! (Don't you ever quality-check your product.)
That accent man. I once worked with a guy the looked and sounded like an older Jesse "The Body" Ventury. But without the body and hair
Another Coen Brothers masterpiece. The first one they had in general release is, "Blood Simple". You can't go wrong watching the first one.
So fun watching y'all during the journey of this film.
As we say in Texas; y'all be safe.
Great Reaction Guy's,To A Great Movie
In case no one has told you already, it's not actually based on a true story. The Coen brothers have admitted it wasn't.
Yep they kept lying about it, until they got sued by a Japanese woman's family that went looking for the money and died from exposure
@@SmileybeeblevroxFake
@@Smileybeeblevroxnah she was looking for Mike Yanagita
This is my favorite movie ever, it's hard to describe why but it just draws you in, even to the little conversations about the weather.
If you want to see what happens to the money, check out the FX series it does not disappoint!
The TV series answers the question of who go the money.
Every time I watch this with my folks and the scenes with their son come up, my mom always makes a point to say "you knew better than that, cause you know I would've smacked you upside the head so fast your head would spin"
Y'all will really enjoy the series. I hope you watch it ❤
Their movies are AMAZING! Try out The Big Lebowski and Raising Arizona. Hilarious 😂
It's so odd to see two guys, bundled up against a blizzard, standing in a street that has standing, melted snow on it. The Coen brothers had bad luck with this film. It was the warmest winter in Minnesota for a very long time. They should have just had the guys wear the parkas to match the weather.
Thanks for this reaction. Love this movie. Please turn up the volume, cause I had a hard time hearing. WILL WATCH AGAIN IF i CAN HEAR IT. SORRY FOR THE XAPS, GOT STUCK
It's not a true story and they were lying. But it's a damn good movie and I hoped you enjoy it.
I hope you will try to watch other Coen brothers movies as all are worth watching, and many are fantastic.
You find out what happened to the buried money in the Fargo TV programme, Series One.
I'm originally from Mississippi, I've lived in Minneapolis for over 30 years....the winters are brutal. Typically, it's pretty chilly this time of year; however, this year has been great. Also, this is not a true story.
I was bornt and raised in MN, one Halloween it snowed 12", In October, that was fun? Trick or treat while I kick snow above my ankles. Also I went to high school in Brainerd and some ppl were offened by the "accent " because that ain't the way we talk.
Omg I can’t imagine that much snow in October!!
@snackandreact We called it Blizzerween, blizzard on Halloween , it was craze. Ubecha, you know..I bet..skol, purple an gold .
Wasn't that 1991? I remember that Halloween. Everyone pretty much dumped their candy bowls in your bag so they could turn off their lights and stay inside where it was warm!
That truly was a story.
It isn't actually a true story. It IS a comedy.
You can find out what happened to the money if you watch the tv series
I had to laugh when you were arguing about whether it really was a true story. It was very prescient of you because as I am sure you now know, it was total fiction and they did lie when they said it was based on a true story.
Glad you liked it too. I have been a subscriber since you started your channel but I haven't watched one of your reactions in a very long time because reactions to action movies *the movies you seem to have gravitated to) are quite frankly boring. The highly rated thought-provoking movies are however, the kind that will get you more subscribers. And when you started this channel you did a lot of them, movies like THE SHAWSHANK REDMPTION and THE GREEN MILE and SCHINDLER'S LIST. So hopefully this movie was not a fluke. And if it is the start of a new trend, here is another that would be a good complement to this one PROMISING YOUNG WOMAN
It's not a true story. Its all functional. They just like to make people think it is because it's a grounded story that has a lot realistic qualities to it.
Dad didn’t not shot him more than once on purpose. He was a gunshot old man. That was best he could do.
It's not really a true story. The Coen Bros. just said it was. People were annoyed but they said, basically, it's all fiction and that parts fiction too.
You guys need to watch the Fx series Fargo based on this. You will enjoy!
Thanks! Had no idea until the comments there was a show!
Thanks for the video!! See you later!!! Stay safe.😊
You too!
Little snot nosed Scotty ends up being raised by Jerry's parents. Think about that!
Marge is just the best.
She really is!!
is that really a playboy magazine in the bathroom at 15:51? lol
See "Miller's Crossing".
there was one unfortunate japanese lady who , after watching the movie, actually traveled to Fargo to find the money...she was later found dead in the woods...and that's the truth about this movie...someone actually died... in a way, the filmmakers really killed someone
Made by the Coen brothers, who've made a lot of good and a few great films. Check out O Brother Where Art Thou, Raising Arizona, Big Lebowski and No Country for Old Men. There are others, but those are the most critically acclaimed.
There is nothing true about the film. The Coen Brothers put that statement at the beginning just to dramatize the film.
If the father shot the kidnapper more than once and ended up killing him, how would the father ever know where his daughter is?
@49:2 ... AUDIO!!!
Brawny
some say it WASN'T a true story & they used "artistic licensing" to use those words
You got to watch the series now to see what happened to that bag of money!
I think we might!!
PURDDY OLD! ! I DON'T THINK SOOO. I'M IN MY 80s OR THERE ABOUTS. I AM SOOO OLD!! (HOW OLD ARE YOU) WELL I WILL TELL YOU. I AM SOOO OLD THAT I CAN'T EVEN WRITE ANY MORE. (or less) THANK YOU. GOD BLESS.
The prostitute said (mid-shag) "I hear bells!"
Dude, you're throwing me off being clean shaved. I was going to ask you if you had a brother but you ARE Devin G. Facial hair or no facial hair.
Yes he is!!
The impatience of the kidnappers is frustrating!
🤣🤣
He doesn't really care about the lot. He just needs the money to pay off his loans he stole on the dealership cars (which don't exist). I'm sure he would have taken the money to buy the lot, then pay off his loans. The lot deal would have never gone through and he hoped his father-in-law would never figure out he didn't own it. Of course that wouldn't have worked, because he is an idiot.
There isn't a single Cohen Brothers movie that I don't like!
The Coen brothers are a little bit psycho
Hi there
Not a true story...they made that up!
@25:50 ... He doesn't need the money to invest in the 'lot'. His fathher-in-law & Wade are doing that. He needs the money for some other undisclosed debts. (Not important to the story)
... his father-in-law , Wade, & Stan ...
Jerry is profoundly stupid, but he must have been planning to disappear with the cash and start a new life.
The mess he'd made with the financing company was going to be known to all within days and the ransom money couldn't prevent that.
He thought Wade -- with Stan's blessing -- would give him $750K and trust that it would be invested in the forty acres in Wayzata, but he couldn't have been planning to do that and remain trapped in Minneapolis. He gives no indication of having any fondness for his wife or son or for anyone at all.
Great reaction y’all! Some woman thought it was a true story so she went looking for the money and died from the cold. That’s a true story
Wait till you start the series, it’s way better than the movie
"It's pretty OLD!" 1996?? OLD?? STOP THAT!!
🤣🤣 you are right it isn’t that old!
''This is a true story'' and it's not ''Based on a true story'', get it?
Got it! 🤣
I'm thinking that when Marge slips in the snow in the first murder scene, that was a genuine unscripted slip. When she looks back she's actually asking if they want to do a retake. That's how it looks to me, anyhow. Incidentally, although the movie's called Fargo the action actually takes place in Brainerd. They just thought Brainerd was a dumb movie title so they named it after the next town down the road instead.
You would absolutely love the TV series. Love the work. Be well
Watch the TV show FARGO, it will answer some of your questions. Some of the best TV ever made.
With those seemingly expensive microphones, how come the audio is so bad? It's like you are speaking into a potato
Turn down the gain
it's not really a true story.
WHAT IS UP WITH YOUR SOUND! (Moreso Devin's) Overmodulated. Clipping. VERY ANNOYING!
Maes it hard to even click on your channel.
Snatch attack!
your lack of empathy for the wife i find disturbing when she is kidnapped -you were laughing -a vulgar lack of empathy -tasteless -have you lost your humanity ???? this has a couple of moments of humor in the film but that is all i find you -well i can not watch you
NOT really a true story.....
They got us!
