There are many incidental pleasures in "Fargo", but where's the structure? I recall reading a definition in one of those concepts-for-which-we-have-no-words dictionaries: "a book in which everything is clear except the author's purpose in writing it". Here is the cinematic equivalent. For those who want to excuse the film's messiness as the result of being based on a true story ... well, guys, I don't know how to say this: it isn't. That "the events you are about to see" opening statement is a simple lie. They made it all up. I don't know about you, but I'm not inclined to just shrug my shoulders and say, "oh, well"; this is AT BEST the Coen brothers' shameful way of manipulating us into doing their work for them.
