The Coen Brothers

The Coen brothers were my favorite directors thus far based on the three films we watched: Raising Arizona, Fargo, and No Country For Old Men. Each of the movies had several similarities, but yet individually were still very unique. The movies contained a plot based on a smaller crime evolving into much more chaos. Raising Arizona was the most light-hearted of the three films. I enjoyed that "Big Lewboski" type humor, and the chase scene all through town is one of my all time favorites. Fargo was a stepping stone from Raising Arizona's light heartedness, but still did not reach No Country For Old Men. The seriousness of the plot in Fargo intertwined well with the exaggerated Minnesota accents for a fun, but still intense movie. You Betcha it was a good movie! Last, No Country For Old Men was my favorite of the three, and one of my all time favorites. Infact, I already own it and have watched it again. I found it even more in depth and amazing the second time around. You can't catch all the suttleties the Coen Brother's have in this film until you have scene it more than once. I would recommend to all to buy this film!
