It is fascinating to watch the Coen brothers wrestling with the absurdity of life (in an Existentialist sense) in their films. Fargo and No Country for Old Men tell stories with similar characters and ideas, but they present two radically different views on life. In Fargo, the theme is summed up in Marge's speech to Peter Stormare in the prowler: "There's more to life than a little money." They then juxtapose that with Marge and her husband in bed talking about the simple victory of getting art on a postage stamp, which is "terrific", before going on to anticipating their baby and the continuation of life through them. By contrast, No Country ends with Tommy Lee Jones' speech about how he just doesn't understand the world which has filled up with violent criminals. Things are increasingly beyond his control and understanding. The values of the people around him have transformed into something he cannot grasp. And there is no life imminent to carry on and give hope. He is facing the end of his life, leaving a world he no longer fits in or understands. Interestingly, the Coen brothers were close in age to their protagonist lawperson when they made each film. In fact, Frances McDormand who played Marge is married to Joel Coen, the director. It seems like those characters, particularly those closing monologues All their films deal with these themes of the absurdity of life in some way. The Big Lebowski follows a man trying to make sense of the drama he finds himself immersed in, but none of it makes a cohesive narrative. The feelings I get watching Julianne Moore and David Thewlis giggling madly and speaking in Japanese is the emotional center of the film for me. O Brother Where Art Thou? presents a man bouncing around in a world full of orthogonal stories barely keeping his band of misfits together. They may be comedies, but this theme of Existentialism and the Absurdity of Life is still dominant. Great film and great reaction. Your amusement and incredulity, btw, were delightful. As a person who lived in the Twin Cities for 9 years, a lot of the characters ring true. The accent was elevated, but right in the neighborhood of how people talk (none of which is surprising since the Coen brothers grew up on the west side of town). Keep being awesome.

I thought you were talking about the show. I have a reason to watch the movie now.
