I love this review. Intilligent.
The Laconic Verision was a Crowning Moment Of Funny.
Apperently, Movie Retriever only thinks this movie is 3 stars out of 4. Fuck those guys.

It's not a racist movie.
Otherwise I basically agree with you.

How the hell is this movie racist? Because it mocks northern stereotypes? Hate to break it to you, buddy....

Good thing this never happened.
Laconic Review:
Me: You know, I saw Fargo. It's amazing.
Marge Gunderson: Oh, yah?
Me: Yah.
The Longer Version:
I will start this review on three points.
Point 1: This is not for kids in four ways: verbally, visually, suggestively, and emotionally. It is a potty-mouthed, violent, risque, and dark movie.
Point 2: Despite the opening text saying otherwise, this never happened. The Brother Coens claimed they based this on pieces from actual murder cases, and sewed them together into this movie. That doesn't mean this is real.
Point 3: The humor is based mostly on jokes about the Northern.
So, we have a family-unfriendly movie that lies and is a racist. Despite all that, Fargo is an amazing movie. What I especially love is the casting. Every actor plays a character that you would expect for them. William Macy plays an awkward father. Steve Buscemi plays a loud, cold-hearted criminal. Peter Stormare plays a mute, no-hearted criminal. It all makes sense. The conversations between people make perfect sense. People rarely analyzes conversations as much as you would want to think, especially in small towns. The humor, albeit stereotypical, is hilariously deadpan.
In conclusion, Fargo is a masterpiece. It's dark, it's dreadful, and I loved every minute of it. Go see it.
