The Coen Brothers



To me Fargo and No Country For Old Men are the same film because the stories and backgrounds for the characters of the movies are every similar to each other.  In both No Country for Old Men The sheriff says that he feels outmatched by criminals and that he doesn’t stand much of a chance against them, you get that same feel in Fargo because the Sherriff is a very pregnant lady and by looking at her it seems that she is outmatched by the criminals. Also the motives behind each film was because of money and Moss found 2 million dollars that didn’t belong to him and he tried to take it from the bad guys also Jerry Lundegaard motive for having his wife kidnapped was to gain movie so he could pay people off.  These movies both by the Coen brothers seemed so similar that I wouldn’t be surprised if No country for old men was also based off of Fargo.

  1. can you discuss something other than plot? how about more on that theme of being "outmatched?" Bell never catches Chigur, nor can he save Moss or his wife. Sheriff Marge catches the bad guys...
