Kids, kids. The movie is called F A R G O, with the letters spaced wide like that. It begins and ends in N. Dakota but most of the events take place in Brainerd, Minneapolis, and up around White Bear Lake (Go bears!. Somehow coming from Fargo the two killers enter from the south, though, with that view of the skyline, on--what is it 94?. (Remenber the root beer thread? Going into Wisconsin on, I think, 90, there's an A&W at exit 19 that makes their root beer fresh daily. Don't try to travel with it, it goes flat.)
Many people were displeased with the presentation of Minnesotans in the movie. It may be a bad idea to form a view of people you don't know from the particular visions of particular artists. Many people used Dead Souls for an idea of Russia, though Gogol knew very little of it. When he tried to work from knowledge of Russia, details of actual lived lives, sent to him by fans, he couldn't write anymore.
Thanks Don, I just didn't mean to sound hostile. I like the show, can think of a few humorous observations from it that are worthy of anyone. It's very difficult to be funny all the time, and sometimes you miss. I don't quite get all the fuss. But I don't know anything about the Jesse Ventura thing.
