After watching No Country For Old Men and Fargo, we were able to see the similarities that the Coen Brothers showed during the two films. You can see the similarities mainly in the characters and their actions and the simple plot. Both films took place in deserted, open land; one in North Dakota and the other in the deserts of Texas. Both these places were small towns filled with locals who knew most things about each other. Violence erupts in both of the movies from one simple plan and almost out of the blue.
The main thing I also realized was the two main characters, who were both the protagonists of each story. Sherrif Tom Bell and Detective Marge Gunderson both play the same roles in both movies. They both go to work everyday and witness theses horrible crime scenes that take place in these small towns. During the examination process they both like to talk about why society is like this and the morals people have. They both seem upset at first; however, by the end of the movie, we notice that they both finish the crimes and realize they see this too often. This shows us that they accepted the fact that society has corrupted in such a way.
Although No Country for Old Men is much more powerfully irresistible, I found Fargo to be a tiny bit more exciting to watch. The main reason for this, I believe is the comic relief the old fold town accents the characters portrayed.
