The Coen brothers are on of a kind as there movies of no end to the blood lust and killing seen in Movies such as No Country for Old Men, and Fargo. Personally I believe a great aspect of there works is there ability to capture the "Folksy" feeling produced in these two films. In the Movie Fargo Marge Gunderson, played by non other then Frances McDonald, is a pregnant women sheriff in the town of Fargo North Dakota. She speaks in a heavy accent and seems to be as folksy as can be. In the movie it seems as if she has absolutely no business hunting down the two hardened kidnapping criminals who the Coen's grant the blood lust portrayal. But much to her credit she does in fact shoot and capture the last criminal. You can't help but laugh a bit though at her effort to look professional. Here you have this pregnant folksy women playing man hunt with these two professional criminals. Perhaps one reason the Coen's make Marge so "folksy" is to make her more of a hero. Cause I'm sure the "not so intelligent audience" would prefer to root for this kind of "folksy" hero. She is lovable and I'm sure thats what the Coen's were going for.
