Perspective on living wholesomely.
Aug. 9th, 2001 02:23 amWatched Fargo tonight. I'm a big fan of the Coen brother's films since I saw the re-master of Blood Simple last summer. Some of you would recognize some of their more popular films such as The Hudsucker Proxy, The Big Lebowski and of course O Brother, Where art thou?.
I came away from Fargo with that very definite Coen Brothers feeling. The dichotomy of characters is almost biblical in the repercussions they suffer. Which is comforting, to experience these stories from a non-religious angle. It is a classic good vs. evil angle but the forces aren't directly opposed, their actions are. Of course innocent blood is shed, it's realistic. But in the end those committing crimes and being morally vile get what coming to them in what's a fitting and classy way. Very much along the lines of "What a wicked web we weave".
