+++THE PITCH+++
Fargo will be remembered as the Coen Brothers’ best film. Forget “No Country for Old Men”. Fargo was their Neo-noir crime epic, and really was a great example of one arm tied behind their back filmmaking at its best. Shooting in the dead of winter no less.
One could say, and should, that Tarantino owed a debt to the Coen Brothers and their other great masterpiece “Blood Simple.” It was one of the first indie movies that showed that they could be great mainstream entertainment every bit as exciting as a classic, big Hollywood studio film. Then the Coens let their head go up their asses, so you can’t blame Tarantino from seizing that lost opportunity with his one-movie revolution that was “Pulp Fiction.” This certainly wasn’t lost on the Coens, who you could say made “Fargo” not long after ”Pulp’s” success as their throwing down the Gauntlet. They played their storytelling ‘straight’, which was restraint for them.
Even so, “Fargo” wasn’t the same smash hit that “Pulp was, and though I wouldn’t call it derivative, I figure if you want to go big then do so or go home. Paul Thomas Anderson certainly did with his “Pulp” inspired film “Boogie Nights.”
So for fun I removed the brakes and unnecessary pulled punches from “Fargo” but upping the ante on the violence, giving William H.Macy’s wonderful icon character a bit more back story. Look for that “Shameless” easter egg, and a few other fun touches to give it that pop flavor to put it shoulder to shoulders with Tarantino IMAO.
Enjoy!
