That works well to highlight the message of the series. Violence is always there, no matter what time in history, terrifying men like Lorne Malvo, Hanzee Dent or Anton Chigurh (No Country for Old Men, another Coen brothers film) will always exist and spread chaos and death.
Lou was an absolute savage lmao. Gave no fucks when in the Gerhardt compound, no fucks when both Kitchen brothers aimed their shotguns (was aiming his gun at an unarmed Milligan) and by the time Malvo comes around, all fucks he had to give were already gone 😆 He was a straight boss and the best character on the show imo
Love the connection at the end there, with Lou making sure he brought two types of sandwiches to go fishing with Molly, not just the jerky he was going to bring in Season Two. "You're gonna have to learn this stuff" Betsy Solverson told her husband. Well, he learned it...
I love each season of Fargo, so much so that for the most part, I can absorb the Hanzee Dent/Moses Tripoli flaw. I'm not talking about the impossible cosmetic changes, either. The man at the head of the Fargo mob in 2006 is portrayed as a kind of wobbling, imperial sybarite who gorges himself as he makes whimsical thumbs up/thumbs down decisions about who lives and dies. I just don't see Dent becoming that man.
“Peace has cost you your strength, victory has defeated you.” This quote from Bane in The Dark Knight Rises is a pretty perfect description for the transformation of Hanzee Dent into Moses Tripoli
@@CommanderLongJohn It's not nonsense, yes. And it's not patriarchy either. It's this narrative brought upon women by themselves with the whole feminist movement. That women can do it all.
@@CommanderLongJohn the point isnt what she says is true or not, the point is that shes so absorbed in her own life, she has completely disregarded the weight of the situation around her. and that people are dead.
Another theme was how desensitized cops are to witnessing gruesome things. In season one when Molly and Vern are investigating the dead guy frozen sitting by the tree, they are just casually making small talk like what it's infront of them is no big deal. Same in season 2 when Lou and Hank are investigating the murder at the waffle hut, they just casually make small talk about their own lives despite the gruesome crime scene they're witnessing in front of them.
I've also heard that the Coen Brothers like to use the theme of 2s in their films (i.e. 2 people in a shot or in the general side by side filming style). You can see that across the movie and the TV seasons.
I sort of like how the only thing to appear from the movie is the ice scraper and the ransom money which actually plays an important role in Season 1. If the money wasn't buried in that exact spot on the side of the road, the grocery store owner wouldn't have gotten rich which means Malvo wouldn't have gone to Duluth for the contract, and Gus Grimly wouldn't have pulled over/recognized Malvo. Of course, Season 2 isn't affected by it (obviously,) and Malvo would've still at least killed Mr. Numbers (although it would've happened differently) and maybe or maybe not Mr. Wrench as well which would change the ending of Season 3 if he killed Mr. Wrench after all.
@D T Well it is little far fetched, but he did ask for a 'skin peel.' And this is the same show that has UFO's, teleporting cars, and fish falling from the sky
Just finished whole series(so far, hope there’s more lol) but absolute great video of the connections really just understood the series even more after watching this👍👍😁
We all know why Hanzee's twist is dumb on a logistical level but I see it as out of character. Two episodes ago he wanted out, he was tired of all the killing. Would a few more gunfights and a UFO sighting really change him that much? You'd think the UFO would make someone less likely to dedicate their life to something as petty as revenge, seeing proof that they're part of a larger universe.
Well hanzee got so mad that he killed his ^^brother^^. To me that prooves that he doesnt like his life. He wanted to kill the gerhearts so he could move on. Stop killing. And stop being an indian most of all
I think the life he wanted to leave was the disenfranchised one he had. He was a low level hitman boyscout for a family that called him "Their indian". I think he wanted to be in control. I think he wanted to be the man who could go into a place and not have to beg for water. He wanted to be the guy that could ask for anything and get it.
@Ra Eye we're all very impressed at how intelligent you are. Besides, of course, the fact that you denounce the other poster for using personal interpretation as objective fact when you do the same thing.
it's stated in that scene that he completely restructured his face and Moses Tripoli looks more middle-eastern than white, and could even pass as a greek or a south italian. "white dude" is incredibly vague to describe someone's ethnicity
So....every off number seasons is modern and even number of season is classic right? season 1 2000s, season 2 1970s, season 3 2000s, season 4 1950s, season 5 2010s, season 6 1910?
@@ckbs1 Never, it was a chore to finish it the first time. The protagonists are pants in the head retarded and the bad guys are as one dimensional as they can be. All the other villains were fascinating to watch: Milligan, Malvo, Hanzee, Dodd... All great characters, all Varga does is gloat about how rich he is and do disgusting shit, and his minions are just as annoying (we don't even get the pleasure to watch those bastards die).
There's another detail, whether intentional or not. In Season 1, Lou tells Molly that a person is less likely to shoot a hostess than an officer but in Season 2, the waitress at the restaurant does in fact get shot as an innocent bystander.
I hate Peggy's argument. Like yea no shit. No one can work that much, even if they had all that time. That's why housewives were so important to the family structure. You do the most important job raising children, taking care of the home, feeding everyone. Especially back in those days. The only difference is she didn't have a kid, never cooked, and still wanted to do whatever she wanted regardless of her husband's pleas and wishes. Feminism 21st century.
Rab carn That's Patrick Wilsons character, Lou Solverson. It's a different actor because Lou would be in his 60's during the events of season 1, so they required someone who was older to play him.
I'm still a little disappointed that these seasons were not based on true stories. I wasn't expecting them to be 100% factual but I also wasn't expecting "based on a true story" to be 100% made up.
There is theory that Hanzee Dent had another person assume the role of Tripoli and he went even further into the shadows, since at least one person knew he'd become Tripoli.
SeanOMatic I like that theory. Season 2 did such an amazing job building up Hanzee Dent into such a complex character. Watching season 1 it feels like they totally botched the follow through on him. He has like 3 lines, eats a nasty carp and then dies.
Malvo kills 22 people when encountering Hanzee/Tripoli. Same as the sign in S2 where Hanzee looks and it says “22 Indians were hanged here”
That works well to highlight the message of the series. Violence is always there, no matter what time in history, terrifying men like Lorne Malvo, Hanzee Dent or Anton Chigurh (No Country for Old Men, another Coen brothers film) will always exist and spread chaos and death.
"You're a shit cop. You know that right?"
Best line of all 3 series'
"Darn tootin'!" Steve Buscemi's lines are great in the movie too.

All three seasons have some of the most exquisite writing in TV, but season two is truly divine.
Woah! Just picked on this connection to murder at Waffle Hut: "People in this world are less inclined to shoot a hostess than an officer of the law"
Not these days
Whoa didn't realize that.

True...Moses is more like how Bear might've turned out had he lived.
I mean it had been 37 years, he’s long past his prime for being an enforcer, running the Fargo mob was practically his retirement.

Not necessarily if you're Rye Gerhart
The difference being rye is idiot
"You're a shit cop. You know that, right?" Favorite Fargo line from both the movie and the show.
"you're shitcop you know it right?" lmao
“People are dead, Peggy.”
Always loved how perfectly matter-of-factly that shut down Peggy’s nonsense.
The worst part is we live in a time where that's not nonsense, that's just "the world we live in," since this is a systematic patriarchy after all 🥴

Fun fact: Dent in French mean tooth while in German it means Zahn (Hanzee Dent played by Zahn McClarnon)
The fact that were still trying to put pieces together just goes to show wonderful the creators of Fargo has to their audience.
"I'd call it animal... except animals only kill for food... This was..." I bet he was about to say "alien"!
I wish he had.
I thought he meant hanzee by that
He was clearly going to say "evil", or "demonic", since the battle between good and evil is the meta-narrative of Fargo.
Except animals kill for practice all the time
He meant the hysteria, not one specific individual.
Another theme was how desensitized cops are to witnessing gruesome things.

7:05 The way Ben Schmidt says "goddamn" is hilarious. "Gaw-dam"
"You're a shit cop you know that, right?" Probably one of my favorite lines
I wish season 3 had more connections to the first 2.
Wars permeate through as well I think. Hanzee and Lou were in vietnam, his father in law Hank, was in WW2.
Keith Carradine's acting is extremely underrated.
4:09 wow didn't expect Brisco County Jr. to be here! I miss him
also the mill in the case from season 1 relates to the fargo 1996 movie. you should check it.

You could also add the Fargo movie connections.
surfinmuso like the buried money along the side of the road marked with the ice scraper. Direct link from the movie. Brilliant!
