Every Coen Brothers movie seems like a fascinating inside joke.
That's a GREAT way to put it.
yaaasss
Who are you quoting on this
except no country for old men haha
@@nerdinvader6740 Joel: hey ethan wouldn't it be funny if we made a film like without any kind of music.
Ethan: Hahahahahah it would be sooo funny !!!
Nice of McDormand and the Coen Brothers to join Charlie Rose interviewing himself...
Jeez - that's a cool and fitting comment! (Still chuckling)
@@Berniewahlbrinck oh yah
Margie and norm were so cute , I love the simplicity of their lives together and the joy they brought one another I feel like they embodied what marriage was all about . Awesome writing I love this movie so much
Mikeyybands🔋 The movie is ridiculing them, showing how horribly wrong their approach to life is. It’s almost like the whole point of it.
@@yelbirkazhykarim3518 defend that statement, I think the movie is not particularly mocking them
That is the type of relationship I want. Good luck 😂🤞
Is that why she had a secret liason with the chinese guy ? Cuz she was so cute...and pregnant ?
@@degsbabe What liaison? She was meeting him as a friend, I think that's very clear in the movie. His intentions were way different and as soon as she saw that, she was out of there.
Frances' character was great to watch, and Frances is a tremendous actress.
They grew up a half block away from where I live, though I didn’t live there at the time. Their parents lived there until the late 90’s. Very quiet, intelligent people.
It’s like watching the left side of someone’s brain and the right side of someone’s brain sit down and have a conversation over coffee
Check out an interview with the brothers Quay sometime. Identical twins who literally embody what you describe.
I love Frances McDormand's voice. I could listen to it all day, I wish she'd narrate some books or something!
I wish she would do a cookie commercial 🍪
Perfect example of what was so frustrating about this show. It was the only place you could find extended interviews with the people you wanted to see, but the price of admission was that you had to endure the insufferable Charlie Rose.
Karma though, got to him in the end.
@@sundromos9456 I don't miss him one bit. But, as Eric said above, I definitely do miss these kinds of interviews with these kinds of people.
Hear, hear.
He created a great format and then did his best to undermine it. There's one part where McDormand is about to say something insightful about why the film captured the public, but Charlie tries to complete the answer for her. Just stop talking, man. There's a reason why you invited these people to your set. Let them talk. Larry King is still the "king" when it comes to pointed questions and lots of listening.
Absolutely terrible interviewer.
I lived in Fargo when I was a kid. This movie was spot on! The people there really talk like the characters (“Yah, you betcha!” “Uffda!”), the landscape, for the most part, really is a flat, barren wide-open space, it’s like “American Siberia” in the winter, everyone is Norwegian and they all really do have last names like Gustafson, Gunderson, and Lundegaard. Watching this movie, was like going back in time for me. All the details, right down to the split-level architecture of the houses up there, was so accurate. It’s probably the most bizarre place I’ve ever lived, but I have some very fond memories of Fargo.
One of the movies I can watch time and time again.
America isn't just Los Angeles or New York. Nice to be reminded that it's a whole lot stranger in the middle.
You can tell by their demeanour that they live on a different level, Ethan is my new hero. True artists. I see so many of my friends in them. The people who don't care about being popular, just creating and exploring. True Geniuses. Two fold for Frances Mcdormand, probably one of the brightest clearsighted people in the world. All true inspirations.
Colin Ritchot
What a COENcidince
They don't look like they put up with much BS. Best filmmakers ever for my money.
Charlie can't shut up...he's a master at talking over his guest's.
Frances made Fargo great
And Macy didn't?
sclogse1 they both were great.
Everyone and everything made Fargo great, but Frances and her character are a standout for sure!
That's a fountain of conversation man! That's a geyser!!
McDormand, Macy and Buscemi made Fargo a masterpiece
I never get tired of watching Fargo and Im grateful for talented, driven, warm, and genuine people! I know that's hard to say about 3 people I don't know but to me these 3 are all of those and it's easy to see!
For a guy who got to do long form interviews with a 'serious' black backdrop, Charlie Rose asked a lot of pedestrian questions and wasn't great at listening to his interview subjects.
All his interviews are like that.
Charlie Rose often asked run-on questions that basically answered themselves by the time he finished talking. I would have loved to have been interviewed by him and then just answering one of those question with a simple "no." :D
I find him a seriously weak interviewer. I hate his personality.
He never listens.
Agreed - he seems to think his follow ups are these brilliant ideas that only he could make up
Fargo is still, and always will be cutting edge, and the characters are absolutely great! 😈
McDormand has something of Jane Fonda and Sigourney Weaver to her aura and energy.
Sort of. But she's a much better actor than both .
She's also married to one of them.
@@bartstarr100 joel coen
@@bartstarr100 What does that have to do with her looking like Jane Fonda and Sigourney Weaver?
I always liked the "date" Buschemi had with her comic face expressing mock horror, misery, disappointment, and disgust. Very expressive moment.
I wish I could forget faster in order to watch FARGO more often. Seen it over the years at least 5-6 times .
I watched it more than 6 times and I will watch it again so good for u .
In addition to having watched it 6-7 times, Fargo is also the only film that I've watched 2 times in a row. Like, I finished watching it one day and immediately watched it again.
5-6 times...Those are rookie numbers in this racket. You need to pump those numbers up lol.
I have never watched it. I will one of these days. I really love the art of Joel and Ethan. And everyone involved in their other films. My favourite is probably Inside Llewyn Davis. But there are so many.
very well said
I love these guys.They are so talented !
The looooooong smirk on Ethan's face is a dead give away that this is NOT based on a true story. Let's play poker.
It is. Loosely based, but based none the less.
a highway patrol officer is murdered on the job and not one patrol officer appears in the movie, after the murder...
The only part that’s true is that a guy once tried to dispose of his wife’s remains by putting them through a wood chipper
Oh my god Charlie Rose, shut up and let Mrs. McDormand answer the question!
thank you. I think he's shut up now.
I literally scrolled down to comment the same thing. 90s was not that different of times. i mean youd think hed get the message from her character in the movie
Charlie Rose, could NEVER shut his mouth. He asks a question, then he answers it himself. He has to show everyone how smart he is. Terrible interviewer, the worst ever.
@. Ahh, the days before CZcams; before people hid behind avatars and the anonymity of the internet and boldly called others 'soy boy...' and named themselves " . " Empty channel, empty head. .
@. Hey look, it's another internet tough guy!
Rose was right up there with Larry King for being one of the least prepared interviewers on TV.
I thought you were gonna praise him there. Good on ya. Charlie Rose isn't very good
and annoying ones too, their egos always trying to "compete" with guests
Well, the interview was enjoyable despite Charlie Rose, who from what I've seen never seems to prepare well for his interviews, but who nonetheless wants to pass himself off as the urbane sophisticate. (Ugh, these stupid questions, like "if you had to make a big blockbuster movie" -- what an utterly inane conversational gambit. Just so random and unengaged, so ungrounded in the moment.) But all three rolled with it well: down-to-earth, straightforward, likeable, intelligent.
Charlie Rose: "Good luck with Fargo". It was already a hit.
True, he should have said: "Congratulations for Fargo".
One of my all-time favorite films. Thank you all !
These guys are good at what they do :)
And Charlie isn't
@@merlinsiervo couldn't agree with you more!
I thought they are twins...Cause of polarity of personalities...Ethan is happy, energetic...and Joel is like some dark calm serial killer :D
Lol, he has definitely become darker over the years, he doesn't laugh much these days.
@@vb8428 he directs the movies
@@smak387 They both do and have gone to direct separately of late
Barton Fink, Raising Arizona, and The Big Lebowski are my all-time favorites.
Fargo and No country for old men are amazing as well.
Francis was better (in my opinion) in Golden Boys. She is not faking a Minnesota accent.
Imagine this. They were so incredibly successful in 1997. And they went on to make The Big Lebowski and O Brother where Art Thou and No Country for Old Men and Inside Llewin Davis. These guys are simply amazing.
In 4 consecutive years they directed, written and edited No Country For Old Man, Burning After Reading, A Serious Man and True Grit. These guys are a movie-making machine.
JOEL COEN: "We let go of the movie and it then becomes the invention of the actors." No wonder why they land such stellar performances! You can watch one of their movies a hundred times and see something different in each and every viewing.
It’s also the mark of a great director, because the director is behind the camera. It’s all about the actors. They’re the ones making the director look good. This is something Tarantino misunderstood later in his career. Django on, he was forcing the audience to play his stupid game of “catch my reference” and “look at this Tarantino-ism.”
Frances McDormand is the absolute best actress when it comes to playing a natural normal woman, she always is great at playing your everyday person
"Hey Norm...I thot you was goin' ice fishin' out at Mille Lacs?"
Thank you for this .i love the coen brothers
This movie is now available to watch heere => twitter.com/a8f5a5822f4bf83be/status/824452700960026624
They’re the coen sisters now, they chopped off their weiners
@@Rayray-zu1hd no, they're still brothers, just eunuchs - surgically altered men.
so who is this interviewer exactly? he always makes such great interviews. all these vids don't give credits in the desciption. really hope to find an answer
wish the Cohen Brothers would do their version of Deliverance
Frances's face is jusst mezmorizing... I could watch her talk and smile all day..
If Charlie would stop interrupting people trying to answer his own question, that'd be nice.
The casting is so perfect, that’s why each movie is so great
To me, this is the most perfectly cast movie I have ever seen. Just wonderful.
Probably the most consistent filmmakers ever.
Nolan
@@smak387oh no, the Coens are mikes ahead. Nolan is too often a blunt instrument where his characters talk down to you as if you’re a child. There’s always a character who’s only purpose is to explain the plot. The Coens don’t do that.
@@smak387 Nolan is consistent alright
@@Whaddayamean13 great point. Nolan also can be over-complicated
we come from low budget filming, we still practice it, i think thats beautiful
I love that Charlie Rose always talks like he's at the level of the person on the show. He's essentially asking questions and following it up with his own perspective.
One of the best scores of all time. Even just one theme. So haunting but beautiful
I miss this talk show so much.
On Oscar night, when it came time for "Best Actress," I wanted it BAD for McDormand, a performance like I've never seen before. When she won, I remember jumping to my feet and screaming, "THERE IS A GOD,THERE IS A GOD!!!" I think my neighbors thought that there was a religious maniac living right next to them.
You Betcha....
Cool story bro .utter B.S but cool story bro
lol
@@johnsmith-wx5fb Why would it be BS? When Nicole Kidman won, I was screaming with joy for minutes. People thought I went mental.
There is no God, only Oscar voters, and they can be bribed
I like how Joel always peers over the tops of his purples when looking at anything. Both anatomical and intentional for effect.
The Coen brothers ARE Matt Parker and Trey Stone in disguise. Finally figured it out
It's Matt Stone and Trey Parker.
They really look like they could perfectly star in their own films
why doesn't he let her talk? he starts talking again the second he asks her the question
I never saw Rose "cut off" McDormand. You must remember, being a good interviewer is a little like being the director of a Three Ring circus. You must highlight the central characters (the Coen Brothers) and involve the secondary guests too, but always, ALWAYS concentrate on the core subjects. If you noticed by Frances' delighted expression, she seemed just thrilled to be on the same dais with these two directors.
thats what he does
He's a FREAK
@@tiffsaver Go to 5:28. She trying to respond to the topic of the exotic nature of "Fargo", and she brings up the locale and the dialects involved. Rose steps all over her second point so he can interrupt her and add his own embellishment to her first point. If she's seems good with it, it's just because she's a good sport and expects it because she already knows he's a dick.
@@kennethlatham3133
LOL. If you'll notice, the BEST interviewers always let the guest do most of the talking... and OH, GEEZ... MERRY CHRISTMAS!!!
The most creative original brothers in our time - if they were British - they should be knighted for they contribution to film.
Well I don't think anybody would disagree here! This is a good movie don't ya know. Yah William H Macy stayed up all night to study the dialect, so there was no way he wasn't going to get the part. Yah I liked it. It was dramatic and funny
The part about a car salesman faxing illegible VIN numbers to auditors was based on a true story.
“Yeah well, I exist alright!”
Note that pallid green cast in the hair, jacket, etc. We all had this when we watched the show, kinda figuring it had something to do with it being beamed by satellite. But it never made sense that a product of a major network would look like this.
Fargo is one of my fav movies.
The Coen brothers make the ordinary into extraordinary.
Charlie Rose made himself the center of attention, not what a good interviewer does.
He always does
Really? In what ways? Can you give me examples of him making it about himself here? He's very confident, but I don't really see him talking about himself. Everyone else here is a bit shy, so perhaps the juxtaposition with his confidence is why you think Charlie is making it about himself. I don't know.
Everyone is so YOUNG .. holy crap ... She was Beautiful.... really beautiful.. inside and out ..
Joel & Ethan did step out, so to speak, with Intolerable Cruelty and The Ladykillers remake, the rough equivalent of what Hollywood used to call 'programmers'. They're considered two of the Coens' weaker films, although they did make enough money to bankroll the next few 'true' Coen brothers movies, which I think was the plan all along. If the media of the time is to be believed, they had troubles raising money for an adaptation of To The White Sea, with Brad Pitt attached and working for scale.
Never seen any of the films mentioned except Fargo...an excellent film...almost a classic. The wood chipper scene was based on a real event in Connecticut in which a guy killed his wife and put her body in a wood chipper.
"How do you....talk to somebody."
thank you for that 😄
Education on their movies. Fargo is one I have watched several times.
The best cast movie in year's, everyone single one was brilliant,
Frances McDormand mentions Emmet Walsh (M. Emmet Walsh) he was a great character actor. His face and voice were so expressive. He was great in "Blood Simple" as was everybody, truly, they were all great.
an interview with the Coen Bros and Frances McDormand Starring: Charlie Rose
Yeah, he seems to think he's at a party carrying half the conversation.
Lol exactly, he's always like that, so pretentious
Legends
so funny watching them lie to him about it being a true story... brilliant
McDormant killed Marge. Amazing. They all did great but McDormant's performance together with the intelligent yet simple character stood out. She persisted...lol.
I developed a huge crush for her because of Fargo
Great filmmakers are great storytellers. This is the perfect example.
i love frances so much
THE STAR OF THE FILM IS SITTING RIGHT THERE AND HE TREATS HER LIKE A LACKEY
David Ayer
Not really
Well he apparently makes female employees look at and flush his crap-filled toilets at his house or hotel, right? One of the stranger MeToo accusations.
I always loved "Barton Fink" too. They like to experiment with genres, the other sides of them.
I would have liked more input from Francis, that’s why I watched.
Happy birthday frances from italian boy live in rome
16: 49 OMG Brilliant!
Man I know IMDB wasn't super well established in 1997, but Rose and his staff could have done SOME research.
Ethan laugh is adorable
Love this film and the long-form sequels just as much. What do you all think of them?
The TV sequels are so impressive..considering how disastrous it could've been to follow the original...I've rewatched the first 3 seasons multiple times 2 is my favourite but they're all excellent..what's your favourite?
@@pabloc1788 season 2 is probably the best season in a tv show iv ever seen IMO
I wonder if Charlie was wearing pants during this interview.
tee-hee
We soon found out if he was wearing pants
The clips from the film are comically short.
Recently recommended this to a 22 year old Hispanic friend of mine from the central valley of California and he came back days later with his first comment being just how culturally odd/interesting the characters and the setting were and listening to him working out the sounds they made and describing the barren landscapes which he would have seen everyday in the California dessert just with sand and Taco Bells made me love even more what I already thought was a pretty much perfect film. This film is in my top 10.
He's almost disrespectful disinterested when responding to Francis. And yes, LISTEN!
Agreed. He was piggish and demeaning.
My uncle's are the Coen brothers
Oh, yah you betcha,
Ya got that right,.
Yur Darn toot'in,.
Alrighty then!
Whaat ya meeannt..
@@blueticecho5690 What the Christ!
OK, real good!
such bad accents. not sure people in MN actually talk like that....way over the top. She is a good actress but to me this was not her best role.
Aww, Jeez
Both Coens and Frances come from Minnesoooota.
Blood Simple worth a view
Like Speilberg, the Cohen Brothers have and genre that only they can define. Their films have an under current of strange seriousness or outright bullshit comedy. And when it's needed, they know how to mix the two. I put them up there with Billy Wilder and to a certain extent, Frank Capra.
Duuuude, how can you say that?
For me, breakout roles for McDormand and Macy. I followed both of them closely ever since.
Rose was okay on the interview. Y'all put down your crack pipes and enjoy Frances and the brothers... great people.
Those clips were so weirdly brief.
Dear God you know it’s a bad interviewer when you’re just praying for him to shut up more than actually being able to take in what’s said.
Lol, Charlie Rose said Steve Busheemi
Bill Macy should have been with them because he is the lead in the story.....
Solid E She has just as much of a part in the film as William H Macy
Solid E: it's William H. Macy, not Bill Macy. The latter was in Maude in the 70s with Bea Arthur and isn't to be confused with William H. Macy. That's why his screen name is William H.
He couldnt make it he was having his sock cooked by a desperate housewives
She doesn't appear in the film til about 40 minutes in though. Who cares though? Fargo is amazing.
Half the fun of this is watching Ethan when he’s not talking
Frances is precious
Minnesota is the state from which an American dentist trophy hunter murdered Cecil the Lion, an iconic lion, on the border of Hwange National Park, Zimbabwe.
The length of the clips in this interview go no distance to explaining the movie whatsoever. I'm surprised how absurdly short they are.
Great movie 👍 😂
love this film, watch it over and over
