FARGO

The opening of Fargo to me was really good as it introduced the film and set the mood for it aswell by a short paragraph coming up on screen explaining that the film is a true story, to me that gets me interested straight away as I personally enjoy watching films based on true stories. After that the film officially opens by showing an almost blue screen with a car emerging from the distance coming towards the screen, this tells the viewer that the weather is fogging and perhaps set in winter time. To me the characters could of been displayed better as the main character Jerry was displayed as a man that just seems to accept things rather then sticking up for himself, maybe one of the reasons he got himself in the situation he was in, but to me he does seem a bit of a wimp but maybe too much of one at times and the two men that were hired to kidnapp his wife seems to me like the most odd pairing as one talks too much and the other doesnt talk at all just like what you would see in a cartoon and this is meant to portrait a true story, and then theres the police women who just doesnt seem fased by anything in the world for example when she is called in the early hours of the morning to go to a crime scene, then her husband is nagging her about making an egg then when she eventually gets to the scene she see's two dead men and it doesnt bother her, all of these things would anoie me.

There are some good moments in the film for example when the kidnappers go to the house to kidnap Jerry's wife the man is looking through the window and doesnt see Jerry's wife sat right in front of him so decides to smash the window and the other kidnapper just walks straight through the front door, this then leads to Jerry's wife having a shower curtain over her head falling down the stairs and knocking her self out.

Although there was good moments in the film I felt it could of been done a lot better and the film doesnt fully explain the ending well, and what happened to all the characters.
