The Coen Brothers' Fargo Cambridge Film Handbooks William G Luhr Books Reviews
This is a great companion to the film "Fargo" by the Coen brothers. Although the story is virtually the same in both formats, reading the written word is not the same as viewing a video. When you can have both, the enjoyment of the story is greater than the sum of its formats.
The biggest complaint I have with all the books I've purchased so far (since December 2009) is that the line breaks and other document formatting is just plain goofy. If anyone picked up a physical copy of a book and saw similar errors, there is very little chance the person would buy the book. They would think it was defective in printing. But with books, you pay a slightly lower price and "takes yer chances." Very sad. It's as if someone just cut the pages out of a physical copy and fed them through a scanner, creating a PDF, without bothering to check the output.
This isn't supposed to be a review of the , however, so I'll leave my comments about that and say that "Fargo" is one of the Coen brothers' best movies, full of both nuance and suspense. The pathetic character played by William Macy comes across in the written form as an even sadder, more desperate man. The description and actions of the two bad guys are all the more ominous and gruesome when read word for word. When I watch "Fargo" on TV and then pick up the , the experience is fantastic, as if I were immersed in the lives of the characters on a deeper level than could be possible by just watching or reading the story.
I recommend "Fargo" in the edition for anyone who enjoys the Coen brothers' work, anyone who likes to see how a written plot or screenplay is translated into visual form, and, alas, for anyone who has the patience to put up with the cheap production that is the biggest flaw in all the e-books I have purchased.
Four stars for an incredible story, but I must withhold the fifth star for the crummy formatting of the book; for the cost of the version of "Fargo" I should get more than weird line breaks and words running together like snow in Dakota.
I found this book very interesting to learn about the background of the Coen brothers and behind the scenes of the making of the movie Fargo and the tv series.
