I'm not going to speak for our whole state, but I'm a Californian and if you asked me, "Can you give me a jump?", I'd assume you meant a jump start because your battery is dead. But, "Can you jump me?" is going to be met with a blank stare for a few seconds and an "Excuse me? What?" because that sounds weird.
@@TheYakusoku fellow Californian here and I'd agree with you. Although it's not what Jerry meant, we have "ya no" and "no ya" to further confuse people with a shibboleth.
Peter Stormare (the psycho) said the first time through he said "Pancake House" 4:48 and was told the script says "Pancakes House" and that's the way we want it. All Coen Brothers movies are very much by the script, EXACTLY.
According to Charlize Theron, the Minnesota accent was one of the hardest ones she ever had to learn, for North Country. Then she arrived in northern Minnesota, and it was so cold outside she could barely open her mouth, and the accent just happened naturally.
I can see that to someone from South Africa and all, northern Minnesota would seem like Siberia or Antarctica, and that the speech pattern would just kind of happen after a short time in the cold.
If you ever travel to Fargo, the visitor's center will let you put on a couple wool hats and get a picture with a replica of the woodchipper and leg from the movie.
The story I've heard more than once is that Macey was so determined to have the part, that he went to an audition in LA, then hearing they were doing more in NYC, he flew out there and auditioned again. It was also claimed that he threatened the Cohen brothers dogs if they didn’t cast him
I don't want to spoil anything but the show Fargo is very much a similar tone and you do get to find out what happened to the money in the show. I won't say what, where, or which season but the show is worth a watch.
Because of the dry air and lack of salt and chemicals on the road here in Arizona, cars last much longer than other parts of the country. You’ll see ancient cars running around with their original paint job, which will be faded or even gone, but without rust. We still have idiot criminals, though. Glad you liked this movie. Thanks.
Steve Buscemi's character in The Big Leblowsk (which you've also reacted to)i was an inside joke from this one. In this one he never shuts up and in The Big Lebowski he's never allowed to talk. :)
Buscemi also was in the Coen's Miller's Crossing in which his character is killed by gunshot. In this one he ends up in the woodchipper of course, and in Lebowski he's cremated, so when he dies in a Coen movie, his remains are progressively tinier. And of course in Lebowski, Stormare's character finally gets his pancakes!
Greetings from Minnesota. Very entertaining reaction video. FYI, most people here don't actually sound like that, but there are some, and the farther away you get from Minneapolis, the better your chances are of hearing it. You're so lucky that "y'all" don't have ANY accent that anyone else could ever make fun of. BTW, it's January 31st, 53 degrees and zero snow on the ground. I hope we snow people can get through this brutal winter.
@@jeremygray7435 I think no regional accents should ever be lost. They give Murrican so much more flavor than if we all spoke in a boring flat newscaster sort of way:)
The scene with Marge and her old friend from High school seems out of place and random, but it's the conversation and the revelation later that he was lying that leads her to revisit the dealership, to not take people at face value just because they're meek. Also, the scene where Marge is talking to the hookers cracks me up every time.
Doesn't really stand up, though. Marge never *_really_* needs it. Jerry's performance at the first interview is so cringeworthy, it's a bit hard to believe she would have been taken in. That is the purpose of the scene, of course, but I see it more as a concession for the audience.
The Coens have a sharp comedic wit that runs through even dark tales like Fargo. Try Suburbicon, written by the Coen bros and directed by George Clooney.
I remember being amazed, when I first saw this in theaters, that the sight of a dead body being very graphically pushed through a wood chipper could be so funny. 😂😱🤣
Definitely one of the best series. I had my doubts going in, but I've watched the first two seasons multiple times. And yes, the money bag makes an appearance.
Regarding the briefcase of money, there's a movie about a woman from Japan who gets obsessed with finding it. Kumiko, the Treasure Hunter. Haven't watched, but always meant to. As far as recommendations, watch the show. Fargo is high-level filmmaking.
It’s like that here in Massachusetts. Everyone thinks all of us talk like people from South Boston or like the Kennedys. There are more accents than that, and some of us in other parts of the state have pretty tame accents. Though most of us are dropping “R”s all the time.
The Coen Brothers are always great for spinning a good yarn. Also, RIP Steve Reevis, the guy who played Shep Proudfoot. I always enjoy Indigenous actors.
The farther you get from Minneapolis, the stronger the accent gets, especially the northern half of MN. The accent in the movie is about as strong as it gets though. That is, unless you cross the border to the north, then its "Canadasotan"
There is a 2014 movie called Kumiko, The Treasure Hunter, where the synopsis is: A jaded Japanese woman discovers a hidden copy of Fargo (1996) on VHS, believing it to be a treasure map indicating the location of a large case of money.
Good to see your reaction as always ,Mrs Coen aka Frances McDormand heads a good cast of Coen regulars in this violent quirky tale of kidnapping gone wrong. May I suggest DONT BREATHE its a good thriller, young burglars get a shock as they try to rob a blind man.
The Twin Cities is having a ridiculously warm & un-snowy winter this year. We had two weeks of really cold weather but now experiencing record high temperatures.
There is BBC science/comedy Podcast called “The Infinite Monkey Cage”, and one of their early episodes was about Forensic Science. On that episode they discussed the best ways to dispose of a body and wood chipper came up first. The pathologist said this was a big mistake as it turned one large piece of evidence into millions of fragments and droplets of evidence which guarantees you’ll get caught! Its a grim subject they discuss, but it’s so very funny! 😅
Good one, you two! Such a fun movie. This one, O Brother Where Art Thou and Miller's Crossing are my three favorite Coen brothers' movies. Very quirky, very creative. Thanks for sharing this one. 🙂
Where I live, the use of salt was much more prevalent than it is now. It was not just salt, but salted sand. The problem was with the air pollution from the sand being kicked up, and our temperature inversions would trap the airborne sand particles creating our infamous 'brown cloud.' They now spray a solution of magnesium chloride, which slows down the freezing of the snow as it melts. The problem with mag chloride is that it is basically like corn syrup, so thick it gets tracked inside. The problem with both methods is that if you don't wash your cars real well afterward, it can cause rust where it lingers on the cars. Don't ya know.
EMPIRE OF THE SUN is a WW2 movie with a young Christian bale I think he was 12 years old a Steven Spielberg movie also starring John malkovich from 1987 it's a forgotten gem 👍
They didn't just use a book for the accent, one of the vocal coaches played one of the prostitutes. Also, ad libbing is famously forbidden on Coen movies. The line "where is pancakes house" for example was written, and Peter Stormare tried to say it grammatically correct and got scolded and told to say it as written.
You’d enjoy “Three billboards outside Ebbing, Missouri". Frances McDormand playing another amazing character and some funny and quirky situations set in a very serious plot line.
If anything, it’s less than true. At the time of filming, you were having an unusual lack of snowfall in that area, so the Coen’s had to scout for areas, parking lots, etc. that had sufficient snow and where they could shoot a scene without showing bare patches. EDIT: …and now I see that they mentioned this in their after notes.
@@nielsdegroot9138 * whoosh * The fact that they had to seek out natural snow and use large amounts of artificial snow means that the snow conditions portrayed _in the movie_ are less than true, not that it doesn’t normally snow a lot there during the winter.
I can vouch for the conditions up there after spending 2 winters stationed in Grand Forks ND. ND and MN get the arctic winds sweeping down out of Canada. I've been out in -60 wind chill so yes it does get cold. Typically cars have a heating block so people plug them in every night to keep them from freezing. MN does have lots of trees and lakes, much more scenic than ND.
Cold and rural America have a decent amount in common. I live in northern New England and there are definitely similarities to this movie and, from friends who’ve lived there, the real place.
Emily: Can they do that? Can they lie that it’s a true story? Matt: Can movies lie? Me: Is water wet? Is the sky blue? Do the souls of the food we eat be released in farts?😊
❤Fargo is a perfect movie and yes the tv series takes you right back to the the same vibe and the accents are the best. Seasons 1, 2 and 5 are fantastic and the buried money comes back for more craziness. Emily ty for your Fargo outfit.....you would for sure blend in Brainard.
I've heard the woodchipper story. The husband rented a woodchipper. Killed his wife and ran her through the machine. So obviously he cleaned the machine really well. This made the rental agency very suspicious because the only reason people ever cleaned equipment that well was to try to limit the amount of inspection done on return. So they figured he'd broken it and did a full inspection. This revealed the wife's wedding ring stuck in the teeth. They called the police. The police went looking for the wife and found the husband and murder scene. Not sure if it happened in Minnesota or Wisconsin I've lived all my life in one state or the other.
The real life wood chipper incident with the wood chipper, the husband forever sleeped his wife and put her in a chest freezer for several months. Once she was good and solid, he cut her into manageable pieces with a power saw and put the frozen pieces through the wood chipper.
I LOVE this movie!! I was working at Tower Records in Toronto on Oscar night that year, and met up with friends after work at a popular bar in the Gay Village. When Frances McDormand won for Best Actress the whole place erupted in cheers. She was so amazing in this role. As was the rest of the cast.
Lots of love from NM… we talk a little funny here too (ref. Sh*t burquenos say on youtube)… I think the satchel is the exact one from No Country❤that one never got picked up either
As someone who was born in North Dakota, and grew up in Minnesota, I can confirm that the accent is overplayed for comedy, but there is definitely a pronounced accent here. Around the Minneapolis and St. Paul, you’d be hard pressed to find people who talk like they do in the movie, but further away from the cities that you get into some of the more rural areas, especially up in northern Minnesota, you do find people here and there that have an accent similar to what you are hearing in the movie. And my dad and I will do the Steve Buscemi bit if we’re driving somewhere and the other one hasn’t said anything in awhile. 20:15 And this is why if you are going to shoot someone close up, you aim for the head.
Another Coen Brothers film with Frances McDormand is Blood Simple - another dark comedy. I'm from Minnesota - moved to Colorado - told my sister who lives in Hibbing about Fargo and the accents. And how funny it was with the Asian Mike Yamagida with the Minnesotan accent. When I went to visit her, we went to a restaurant and there was an Asian waiter with the Minnesota accent - she asked "is it like Fargo?" I said, "oh ya." I'd love to do a sequel with Marge tracking down all of the details and evidence and run-ins with stupid criminals (there are a lot of tales of stupid criminals in Minnesota, like the men who broke into a cabin and snorted a bunch of cocaine they found which turned out to be the ashes of the owners' mother and dog. It would be fun to have the trials of Shep and Gaere and Jerry. Jerry awaiting trial in prison trying to make deals with other prisoners. So much good stuff.
Definitely get the undercoating in Minnesota. The winter will eat your car in no time. Too bad they didn't fit some 'ope's' into the dialogue. Minnesotans say Ope for all kinds of things, bumping into someone, tripping up a step, knocking something over, saying a startled ope when you realize the line has moved ahead while you've been daydreaming. Ope is oops, sorry, excuse me, etc.
It’s called “Minnesota Nice.” One of my favorite things in this movie is the ‘Accordion King’ poster on the back of Scotty’s bedroom door. About them getting pulled over. My town has an exit on the PA Turnpike and every few months some knucklehead drug dealers get busted for speeding or a broken taillight, etc. criminals are seldom smart. “Burn After Reading,” is another Coen Brothers flick with Frances McDormond playing a memorable character.
[ I give Fargo an 8 ] The movie it more like a mystery with a bit of dark humor . Best sense was Steve Buscemi in the car with the money ( If that was me I'd give my partner his 40 grand & the car get the truck & leave ) The victim in the movie is Scotty he lost both parents & grandparent .
I live in Southern Minnesota. The accents are true but overdone. The true coat really doesn't work. Just need to wash your car as often as possible. 36:52
“Can you give me a jump” is a pretty standard thing. “Can you jump me off” is not.

As someone who was born in North Dakota, and grew up in Minnesota, I can confirm that the accent is overplayed for comedy, but there is definitely a pronounced accent here. Around the Minneapolis and St. Paul, you’d be hard pressed to find people who talk like they do in the movie, but further away from the cities that you get into some of the more rural areas, especially up in northern Minnesota, you do find people here and there that have an accent similar to what you are hearing in the movie.
And my dad and I will do the Steve Buscemi bit if we’re driving somewhere and the other one hasn’t said anything in awhile.
20:15 And this is why if you are going to shoot someone close up, you aim for the head.
Another Coen Brothers film with Frances McDormand is Blood Simple - another dark comedy. I'm from Minnesota - moved to Colorado - told my sister who lives in Hibbing about Fargo and the accents. And how funny it was with the Asian Mike Yamagida with the Minnesotan accent. When I went to visit her, we went to a restaurant and there was an Asian waiter with the Minnesota accent - she asked "is it like Fargo?" I said, "oh ya." I'd love to do a sequel with Marge tracking down all of the details and evidence and run-ins with stupid criminals (there are a lot of tales of stupid criminals in Minnesota, like the men who broke into a cabin and snorted a bunch of cocaine they found which turned out to be the ashes of the owners' mother and dog. It would be fun to have the trials of Shep and Gaere and Jerry. Jerry awaiting trial in prison trying to make deals with other prisoners. So much good stuff.
Definitely get the undercoating in Minnesota. The winter will eat your car in no time. Too bad they didn't fit some 'ope's' into the dialogue. Minnesotans say Ope for all kinds of things, bumping into someone, tripping up a step, knocking something over, saying a startled ope when you realize the line has moved ahead while you've been daydreaming. Ope is oops, sorry, excuse me, etc.
4:56 - You prefer waffles over pancakes? What kind of sick freaks are you? 😮 Anyway, great reaction!
It’s called “Minnesota Nice.” One of my favorite things in this movie is the ‘Accordion King’ poster on the back of Scotty’s bedroom door.
About them getting pulled over. My town has an exit on the PA Turnpike and every few months some knucklehead drug dealers get busted for speeding or a broken taillight, etc. criminals are seldom smart.
“Burn After Reading,” is another Coen Brothers flick with Frances McDormond playing a memorable character.
Mollie B is from Minnesota.
[ I give Fargo an 8 ] The movie it more like a mystery with a bit of dark humor . Best sense was Steve Buscemi in the car with the money ( If that was me I'd give my partner his 40 grand & the car get the truck & leave ) The victim in the movie is Scotty he lost both parents & grandparent .
I know it’s not really your kinda thing but y’all have GOTTA react to the show, seasons 1 and 2 are about as good as the film
Traveller player?! I respect anyone who plays an RPG where your character can die during generation.
I live in Southern Minnesota. The accents are true but overdone. The true coat really doesn't work. Just need to wash your car as often as possible. 36:52
The Red Dead joke made me lol! I love this movie dearly. I recommend Magnolia, William H Macy is so great in that too. So many great actors in it
If y’all want a laugh there’s a couple videos on here named how to speak Minnesotan. A real gem to watch if you need that Midwest itch scratched.
