The bowling alley scene has to be one of my favorite scenes in all of cinema.
The fact it's played by Leland Palmer makes it all the more otherworldly.
That guy, also known as "Poor man's Joacquin Phoenix."
Season 3 is such gold. I so fondly recall the level of mystery, unspoken depth, I felt watching it.
This video is a good example of how really good analysis is an art in itself. It does not matter if you are right or wrong in what you have seen, your very observation of what you see is an ingenious point of view.
Noah Hawley needs to see these
He probably already has. If I’m a writer, I’m definitely looking up interpretations of my show on CZcams
Omg the theme of uncertainty is great! Also another aspect of the uncertainty principle is that you can not accurately measure a parameter. The measurement process itself interferes with the target parameter. In terms of this season, the process of Gloria looking for the answer of his stepfather Stussy’s killer, she unknowingly triggered more murders of Stussies, and would never get the correct killer
I think the ending hints that Gloria was right and Varga went to Rikers and there's hints dropped throughout the season
1. Gloria compares herself to the bot that keeps saying I can help. In the end the bot has helped like Gloria and Varga gets caught. (Added touch the voiceover in that last sequence is David Thewlis)
2. The next episode, Gloria is Peter, Varga is the wolf. Peter catches the wolf
It's really meant to be left up to the viewer's interpretation, which has been confirmed by Noah Hawley. If you're generally more of a pessimist, then Varga was right and he walks out that door to disappear back into the world. However, if you lean more towards the optimistic side of the spectrum, then Gloria prevails and Varga is led out in handcuffs to Riker's Island.
There’s no doubt that Varga escapes, he’s a powerful man, and the past is just a story, rumors, interpretation. Which is the theme of the season.
@@LanceVanceDance84 Which is exactly what the comment above is: a viewer's interpretation.
@@brukernavn3409 ...but they didn't leave "hints" throughout the season regarding which of the two characters ultimately won out. That's less of an interpretation and more like looking for things that aren't really there to support the ending OP prefers.
Just finished Season 3 this week and your review and insight is the best I've seen. Sorry to go out of order but I'll be going back to watch your S1 and S2 recaps now. Well done!
You really are a darling, Jim
@@FallopiumFilms I get that a lot.
@@MrDarling1000 I get lol and I'm sorry. My last name is Nye. The amount of times I've been asked if I love science...
I loooove your blue light theory, I think it's a solid theory and it's sound. I recently rewatched Season 3 and noticed a lot of the colour was faded, but didn't put all that together, and certainly didn't connect it to Season 2.
As per colour, one thing I noticed (a lot more obvious) was a specific shade of the colour red and the fate of the characters associated to it. The shade is that of Ray's car, the ink of the stamp, the jacket of the Asian thug character just before he's shot, and the building that he's shot in. There are lots of other examples. Not nearly as in depth or profound as your analysis in this video, but I thought I'd mention it. What a great show! I love your videos, keep up the good work.
I'd noticed they'd drained almost all the colour. At one point I thought it was gradually being drained out more and more throughout the season (but I think it was probably consistent).
Finally some love for season 3. It's my favourite.
mine too
Just watched all 3 of these back to back, great stuff. Love the focus on color and love that you treat season 3 with the respect it deserves. Interested to see what you make of season 4's red and green if you decide to do another one
Christmas
25:23 Gloria's stepdad was 82 when he died if he was really the one who wrote the books then he would have had to be in his 40s when the flashback story from the 70s started.
I was bothered by that too, the first time I watched the series. It HAS to be intentional and another way the "father's" life is absurd/at least full of half-truths and mostly a story. Like you said, he couldn't have been a very young man.
The first and last scenes of the season, as you said, have the most intense display of blue of all. In both scenes, we can guess where or when we are but don't know for sure, nor do we know the exact titles or positions of the people involved, or how exactly they've all ended up there. All we know is that there are interrogations happening in both, and all four characters are absolutely certain that they are correct. The soviet officer even says something to the effect of you can't be right because I'm right, it makes no difference if what you're saying is true because I'm not wrong.
Fantastic analysis!! This is my favorite season of my favorite show and you've just blown it wide open. Thank you!
It's my favorite as well
Great essays man... I'd just like to add one more thing that I observed in this season.
Every character is an animal, but there are some characters who are the same. And just like real world, when the animals of a same species fight they wound each other really bad until one of them backs out... They never actually kill or eat one of their kind, it kinda happens later as the weaker one gradually bleeds to death or something.
In this season the deaf guy and the russian guy are established as wolves. So the deaf guy never actually kills him he just wounds him enough to make him back off.. then die.
Similarly, Varga and Sy are bears or tigers or some carnivore with similar traits... Varga doesn't kill Sy, he puts slips him something that takes him out.
This is evident everywhere... The fish doesn't kill other fish.. wolves don't kill wolves... Bucks dont kill bucks... & so on and so forth.
i agree with what your saying but just note that animals can kill their own species. it's not uncommon.
@@bonedog5130 Yes. Duels over territory can be fatal, but usually aren't, since that works against increasing the species.
I'd say Fargo's themes are less 'humans are animals', and more 'humans have the capacity to become more than animals'. Malvo is ultimately put down by an animal control officer, and the first two series end on the police officers returning to their families, having protected their communities against breakdown.
Fargo 3 is interesting because it feel much less certain, in a time of post-truth and darkness, it is much less easy to say that evil will be defeated and the community will prevail, hence why the ending becomes ambiguous. I am torn over whether Varga gets away (but it's worth noting the blue light in the final scene where Gloria interviews him), but I think the uncertainty over his fate plays into his hands.
Fargo 3 plays on post-truth and technology, particularly how Varga abuses tech (falsifying reports, using his website to track down investigators etc), and Gloria as his opposite feels alienated by a technological world, unfamiliar and unrecognised by it, and ultimately only finds a place for herself when she is recognised as an individual by Winnie. She becomes confident and righteous in her mission, which allows her the clarity to confront Varga in the final scene - as opposed to Nikki, who is too vengefull, goes after the wrong man and forgets the message Ray Wise gives to her.
Also fun how the whole 'this is a true story' feels so much more contorted here, with almost explicitly religious intervention being presented as fact, which is clearly linked with Varga claiming the moon landing was faked as a true story, the show is presenting itself as a vehicle for post-truth subjectivism, and is clearly quite uncomfortable. One of my main problems with Fargo 4 was that it didn't build on these themes in any way (to my mind), and didn't do well with the new themes it handed itself
well said
i have an idea for what the color green means in Fargo.
in Season 1 Episode 4 Malvo gives Gus the riddle “why can humans see more shades of green than any other color” to which Molly answers “To See Predators”.
Green represents Predators. There are two major uses of green in the series that come to mind: Hanzee’s green jacket and Nikki’s green buggy. A predator in my view are vehicles for violence. Both Hanzee and Nikki are dispatched by parties to kill specific people. Both are seeking some kind of comfort in these acts of violence as well. I think its a mix of red and blue, its blue because theyre following the plans of someone else, but its red because theyre using said plans to get what they want.
However, Green isnt seen as much because its something of a transitional color. It doesnt last because characters seek more than the tasks they are given. They need more than just killing. Hanzee transitions from green to black in the season finale of season 2. He is now not a weapon to be used for others but as someone who works on their own accord. Nikki drives a red ford truck in her last scene indicating that her attempted murder for Emmit isnt following the orders of the Wandering Jew, but of her own will (which is further exemplified by her inability to recite the prayer).
Wow. Well said!
I noticed two greens in season 3. One was the green beetle car that nikki and wrench get into. The other is the port-a-potty when emmett rides up to see his wife at the end of season 10. The second green (portapotty) confuses me about its purpose. This isn't counting the "colorful" scenes like when gloria goes to california.
The only thing I see differently is that when Molly says it’s to “see predators” that was from her perspective. Prey is often unable to kill a predator, and Gus says he discovered the meaning of Malvos riddle right before killing him. He saw Malvo was weak… or prey. Gus then adjusts the scene to make it look like Malvo was armed because what he did is technically murder. It wasn’t defense, he became the predator in that situation. So the shades of green from Molly’s perspective is “to see predators”, but from Gus, Malvo, and possibly the show writers, it’s “to see prey”.
Great analysis - it's so refreshing to see thoughtful analysis of this incredible season of television. You're really talented, your videos do what the best criticism does, it offers interpretation that unlocks emption and the joy of understanding something on another level. Bravo!
Bravo! I'm fiending for this content. Thanks for your work.
Watching your videos about the first 3 seasons made me realise how much of a masterpiece this show is
Hopefully you have something for us about the fifth season!
Great review as always . This is where I come for my Fargo explanations. Looking forward to season 4
I finally binge-watched this entire season these last few days. I’m only seven years late! I have found all seasons of “Fargo“ to be very well put together shows. They are full of great writing, great acting, intriguing symbolism, mythic themes, and the music soundtracks are always very creative and very eclectic. These shows are definitely worth watching at least once if not two or three times total. I liked your detailed analysis and the points you made in this video.
This analysis is awesome! It made me appreciate this season even more, definitely the one that impacted me the most.
this is one of the best explanations I have ever seen, this should get more views
Then maybe share it….? Eh? Ehhhhh? Pretty please
Just wanted to point out that the very first scene is a German interrogation room, not Russian
Another small detail that I haven't anyone seen mention yet: While Gloria is still adressed as Chief, while actually being a deputy, her new superior, while technically Chief, is still adressed as Sheriff ( 29:03 - nameplate on the desk ).
Just watched your season 2 and 3 videos, and I really love them. Fargo is such a neat exploration of the intersection of organized crime and individual greed, and how each lays waste to the plans of the other.
Season 3, to me, was about fascism,. Not in its final form, as we see in the opening sequence, but how humans can be lulled into a state in which they no longer can predict what the outcome of an event will be, which then gives the state the ability to choose that outcome. We no longer believe that those we see commit crimes will be punished, which grants peop-le willing to take advantage of this transition an almost god-like power over others.
Fascism requires uncertainty to grow. Uncertainty causes people to pause, not to act, and that is the moment in which others can take advantage. If the truth and the lie are both promoted as equally true at the same time, it wears down society until they just accept the the State's truth. To be fair, there are probably a thousand Vargas out there trolling America right now, exploiting MAGA's fascist pull to carry out their own grifts, which are, essentially, a story inside another story.
I watched your video from beginning to end, being a fan of the Fargo series. I must say that you put a,lot of thought in your analysis, to the point it reminded me of a person who smoked a lot of weed breaks everything down to a science, lol. You put a different perspective I never thought about, but it becomes obvious once you take time to look at it. Very intriguing, keep up the good work!
I loved the Character of Gloria a lot in this season And I think the duality of her existing and non-existing was the most prevalent out of all the characters. You named most of the examples I could think of
Great video. As the philosopher Deleuze claimed in "postscript on societies of control", Kafka is the prophet of postmodern totalitarian cybernetic power. 'The only true hell is there in the office, I no longer fear any other.'
- Kafka, letter to Felice, 7/4/1913
The theorist Mark Fisher later established, neoliberal beauracracy functions as a kind of office stalinism. Varga seems to be the personficiation of that. He is a completely contradictory figure too. Ascetic bullimic, anti-semitic rootless cosmopolitan, a billionaire haunted by precariousness and paranoia.
Your mention of Blue throughout the 2nd Season hit with me so much. I was constantly thinking about it after each episode but only when I heard your opinion on it did it really resonate with me. Very VERY insightful analysis
Thank you
20:22 German, not Russian. The officer is from Stasi and he’s speaking with the suspect in german.
That would even fit thematically. Germany itself was filled with this uncertainty. Germany split. Liberal Capitalist or Totalitarian Communism. uncertain of their future.
Holy shit just found you this is incredible will drop a follow and you going to do a season 4 you are really good at this
I think it's based on Kafka's novel the trial. Varga is similar to those nacked kid like adults who are above the law and does whatver they please without ever getting convicted. Since their case (persona /ego) long been closed. All they do now in this game of life is play. While all other characters don't get that. Having their false sense of morality keeping them trapped in this game of fate. Their case is yet not closed. Coen universe values absurdity over reason.
Makes sense. I believe episode 9 in S2 "The Castle" was named after the Kafka novel. (Same color of blue used on the book's cover as well.)
Season three is probably the finest thing I have ever seen on TV. David Thewliss and all were superb!
Man I love that video. I can really feel your excitement about all that stuff and you got me in a serious tunnel, thinking about that fucking masterpiece I just watched. Mad probs!
you are incredibly smart... Got yourself a Sub. followed all 3 analysis and my god....
The creator of the show is smart. All I did was be crazy enough to watch every season twice a year lol
great vid bro. I hope there was more Fargo vids
What were the USSR or USA federal Politicians and higher ups, if not criminal themselves?
Government is the largest and most powerful mafia family I know of.
Fantastic analysis! Fargo’s my favorite show so finding these videos has been an absolute pleasure,
Great analysis, exactly what i was looking for !
What is really infuriating tho, is that the Uncertainty Principle does NOT mean, that we have no idea what's going on. It means, that we can precisely describe what's going on, but you can not, however, predict how things stand at a certain point in time; you can only make very accurate predictions about the probability how things will be.
I was once talking with a friend about the doubling/parallels of characters (and other things) in this show, and they said "oh and another example is that Gloria and Nikki are played by the same actress" and I had to convince them otherwise.
Another fun example of uncertainty is that the song playing when Ray and Nikki walk into the bridge tournament is "Prisencolinensinainciusol" by Adriano Celentano, an Italian singer. The lyrics are gibberish written to sound like American English to a listener who doesn't speak it -- specifically to an Italian.
There's a moment of uncertainty in the snow storm shootout in season 1 (which happens to be filled with grey tones): In the middle of the storm, Gus cannot determinate who shot who, and when he shots whoever he has in front of him, it's not until he gets closer that he realises what actually happen and what he actually did. This resembles that sequence in season 3 where Gloria can't determinate whether her stepfather is dead or not until she gets to look closer ;)
First of all, why doesn't this channel have more subscribers ? You're freaking incredible brother. Also, the point of green, maybe it's a hint about the final question, being the prey or not being the prey. When given the green beetle, they could've run away, free, not dead. But they chose the different path, they actually had two distinct choices. Just like Malvo's final question of green.
yeah it definitely relates to this. The "shades of green" predator question from Malvo never occurred to me. It was a pretty obvious explanation and I totally missed it
@@FallopiumFilms also, we need to find Noah Howley's mail ID and send these to him. 😂
Freakin great video! You showed me a lot about season 3 that I hadn't noticed and your passion really shows. I don't agree about season 3 being better than 2 though. One reason you even point out, being that one episode has nothing to do with the rest of the story. That and the cop wasn't as lovable as the previous 2 seasons. BUT, other than the menial difference of opinion, this video is damn near professional. I see you getting many more views when people start CZcamsing Fargo videos next season.
Brilliant commentary on a brilliant season
Ty
Excellent video man! Just finished season 3 today with this video already in my “watch later” list. Keep up the good work! Can we expect a video about season 4?
Thank you!
In regards to season 4... I'm not sure yet. I've had years to think about seasons 1-3 so I feel if I rush into 4 just to get a video out it wouldn't be up to par. I know there are at least a few episodes in season 4 I'd like to dissect, but I'll have to watch the season again to know if I can do a video on the whole thing.
@@FallopiumFilms of course. I understand, thoughts overall tho? Is season 4 worth a watch?
@@borjaperezderoza8952 of course it's worth a watch. But it's different than than the other seasons. I won't say if that's good or bad, mainly because I can't tell but also because I don't want to ruin anything for you.
@@FallopiumFilms Thank you very much dude! Apreciate it the response! Looking forward to more of your content whatever it is about!
Well analyzed.
The Asian henchman who's listening to music reminds me of "Cure'" a similarly silent henchman in the wonderful film "Diva." The music the latter is hearing is a surprise when revealed.
Emmit's car doesn't run out of gas. The "Check Engine" light comes on, which implies a mechanical difficulty. It could be overheating, which could "fix itself" during the time that elapses. Pretty much the same message, but not impossible.
Love the animated logo!
I found the very fast switches to b&w to be more compelling than when they add color back. But, that's only with (1) watchthrough.
Dear Eric,
just finished season 5. It was perfection. I am greatly looking forward to hear your analysis.
Also, with high hopes, I am looking forward to see the fourth True Detective, that looked pretty sick in the trailer, but still I have a little fear..
Blessings and Bisquik,
Timur
1. It'll be a few months until the analysis, maybe longer. Takes a long time so stay subscribed.
2. The other true detectives are good... I'll watch them and all... but they just don't hit like the original. Hopefully this new one changes that.
3. Blessings and bisquik is a great send off. I plan on stealing it
Season 3 is an underrated gem
You could also make the argument that the 'predators' have shaped the world in such a bleak way that the human eye cannot distinguish them anymore. Hence the lack of shades of green.
An absolutely fantastic video, the previous videos as well. loved this season very much, I like to think that things are uncertain and can be both things and none of them at the same time until you make an act. With the whole blue theory youv'e made (which is brilliant), season 3 is saying that nothing is certain until you decide, the truth doesn't matter only what we believe the truth is, and that ties into the "this is a true story" in the beginning of the cohen's film and the series and more into real life and how this time wer'e living in doesn't have one truth. It's absurd, this life wer'e living, and that's the whole point.
I think you nailed it. The blue, when it does appear, represents that a decision has been made. It represents a certainty that otherwise exists in an ambiguous state, until the decision to act has been made.
The uncertainty principle makes debate almost redundant.
It could also be the differing beliefs and which side of the aisle people are on. i.e. I would personally say Varga will walk free at the end because the world doesn't work the way Gloria thinks (if Varga's in 'the big club' then he's scot free). Maybe it'll take him slightly longer than 5 minutes though.
It is amazing how good this content is. Thank you
Love this series, the tv show and your video summary about it.
PLEASE DO Season 4
One thing that I keep noticing on my S3 rewatch, and i only picked up on it midway, but every car is dirty.
and when nikki confronts varga in the lobby the plants are wilting
its as if the excessive consumption of wealth is sucking the life out of eden, which is referenced a bunch of times
Season 3 is about finding the truth....of God. Bowling alley scene is definitive. Some find redemption, some don't (such as rays brother)
Possibly. But I’m not sure god is definitively found. Maybe, maybe not. As I say, I think it’s about uncertainty
Fargo themes of miscommunication and absurdity and irony are obvious but the shrodingers cat, fate, color correction i would have never figured out. Awesome analysis.
amazing video you deserve more views
i think the green car is to signify her becoming the predator
Ahh yes, seeing shades of green
Awesome analysis mate you deserve more subs
You’re over thinking this dude. I watched it. I understood it. I loved it. Peace. Out.
I just wanted to point out that Paul Murrane (The guy you said was God) is actually supposed to be the wandering jew. Basically in the original story, the wandering jew was one of the guards at Jesus’ crucifixion. He insulted Jesus, so Jesus basically cursed him to walk into he earth eternally until the second coming. He’s a parallel to the robot in episode 3 because theyre both basically fated to live until they can be relieved. Paul Murrane was a massive part of the story, but he did not directly involve himself and did not physically impact the events of season 3, similar to how the robot couldn’t help.
Also, I’m not sure the theme of this season is uncertainty. Early on we are given the story of Peter and the wolf. Peter is Gloria, wolf is Varga, etc. If you know the story of Peter and the Wolf, you knew almost exactly the fates of each of the characters. Peter and the wolf survive (only for the wolf to be captured and paraded around town on a leash). There are some discrepancies with this though as emmet and nikki both die, unlike the cat and the bird in the story. If you assume that this story was included for a reason, i do think its safe to say that we do know the ending, and that the blue light in the corridor in the final scene, isn’t a schrodinger’s cat paradox, because we know exactly what is going to happen. Varga is going to be put on a leash and paraded around for everyone to see.
Great video! My head was exploding with questions, you gave it all a place (i think????). I only now realised that Emmit and Ray are played by the same actor....
Obi Wan should've been given much more praise. He was a straight up chameleon when switching from one character to the other.
I never realized they were the same actor... lol
Really good I hope you make a video on season 5
Good work
Also, in the final scenes between Gloria and Varga, she is wearing a blue shirt. My take on the ending is that Varga has finally met his comeuppance. Maybe.
There’s an infinity in that maybe my friend
The final scene of the season reminds me of the last scene of Lord of War.
No idea if it's intentional or not.
I generally only like tv if it’s comedy, bc I feel like so many dramatic shows have too much filler and taper off, so I mostly watch movies. I love the coens, and seeing the Fargo series blew me away, I couldn’t believe how much better it was than other shows, it’s so good, the first three seasons at least. I think it’s anthology format gives it a leg up. I hope season 5 is good
Season 3 is a weird one at first I was indifferent on it. Didn't think much of the story thought the characters and acting was fun and enjoyed the cinematography but didn't like the colour correction. However on multiple rewatches this might just be my favourite season of the show. I think VM Varga might've even topped Lorne Malvo as the best antagonist in the show, may be controversial to say but it's how I feel
I completely agree with you. It's my favorite season, and Varga my favorite villain.
Finally getting around to watching this series and just finished up S3. I think that like you said the scenes with the blue light in S2 was a way to show that they are on a pre-determined path and same goes with S3.. The first scene of the series in the interrogation room, the interrogator has already made up his mind on HIS perception of reality, thus the man being interrogated path is already determined, whether REALLY true or not. It's the "truth" that matters at that time in that specific situation. Also, the casket scene with Ennis Stussy, his path is very obviously determined, he's dead. The last scene with Vargas and Burgle, the path of the characters are already determined, we just don't yet know what that path is... the blue light tells us though that something is already been determined at those specific times. Also, with the stamp, I find it interesting that it was a rare misprint and that the other two is backwards, the twos represent a bunch of people in the story. It's the same number but not..
Ahh yes that makes sense about the 2. 2 sides of the coin, 2 states, etc. especially with it belonging to the 2 characters who are the same
Ahh yes that makes sense about the 2. 2 sides of the coin, 2 states, etc. especially with it belonging to the 2 characters who are the same
@@FallopiumFilms Exactly what I was thinkin! Great videos btw, just recently found your channel. Keep up the good work!
Excellent stuff!
David Thewlis is brilliant. Varga is right up there with Oraetta Mayflower.
Life is truly about perspective , how one crafts their perspective from birth to death. That there isn't "truth" but merely perspective and the fact is legally Homie in the end was completely covered
What if the quote was actually meant for Emmit?
As he sat there at the end, back again with his wife and Sy who is apparently also getting healthier and with 20M in the offshore account. Thats where he is at his best or what was that in the quote. In the stars.
If it wasn’t for your analysis, I would have hated season three. Watching this video felt like a giant face palm. I missed the point completely. Thank you for explaining this. Also the Lawer from “the man who wasn’t there” talks about the Heisenberg principle when organizing Ed’s defense. I’m surprised you didn’t show that clip. Tony Shaloub played the Lawer. He explains that ed Crain is innocent because truth is unknowable. The Lawer forgot Heisenbergs name and called him “Frits something”. He says “this heiny even wrote it out in numbers”, great line from the movie.
Wow you're right. It's a shame I totally forgot about that part. I've only watched the man who wasn't there once. It's featured most prominently in A Serious Man, a huge inspiration for season 3 I think and also one of my favorite Coen films
30 minutes later the uncertainty I felt about whether or not season 3 was good on purpose or more of a random hodge podge I happened to enjoy quite a bit in weird way has solidified in think the former. I think.
Fir the record, Ray causes his own death. Ray can't stop being an asshole, even when he's finally graciously being given what he's always wanted. He dies because he won't get out of his own way.
I was hoping, anxiosly, to end this season so i can make my theories and thoughts. Then, finally then, could watch your entire video. It was worth it, but still i am halfly confused. I mean, that´s the hole season escence. At first gaze of the ending, i was dissapointed. Season 1 and 2 concluded with (almost) all tied ends; and the original score of the movie, sounding in the last shots, became sort of tradition. Season 3 doesn´t mind his predecesors. It goes his own way. Makes the difference, and heck, that´s refreshing.
Your video made me give more structure and shape to my thoughts. Other theme i also pointed since the beginning of the season was Human Evolution. How, the more the years pass through epochs, the more the human gets savage. Like, the sophisticated technology, only is serving to our primitive, and selfish, impulses, give us a high advantage over others. Just think about Varga, and his way to beat you from the distance, by studyng you in websites, social media and records. Of course, there is the speech of the Truht and Uncertainity, and they are the main things in Fargo 3, but, in human history, aren´t certain doubts of verisimilitud on the real facts that schools and books have been told us? It is just mind blowing!!!
You really did an outstanding video essay. Gives me chills to find people who like the series and it´s philosophy.
Just watched the first 3 seasons, bout to start the 4th. Heard it wasn't as good but wondering if you are doing an analysis of that season as well.
The fourth is definitely not as good. But still, most likely I will. It won't be like my others though. There isn't too much to talk about.
@@FallopiumFilms
Do you think season 4 suffered because of Covid? I think it did a little bit, but not enough to put it as good as the first 3 seasons. It was lacking in character's .
Season 4 was the best of them all
@@sonnienjaumic I agree ! So underrated
Season 3 is easily the best season.
The music this season was just a work of art... it must of been so fun to work on this project
It's not a Russian Interrogation room. It's a GDR (East German) interrogation room.
Yeah I know
@@FallopiumFilms I'm just here to help.
20:29 They were in East Germany, not the USSR. The interrogator was German, Burka was a Soviet National.
Yeah I wish I could go back and change it lol I keep getting comments about this. Not Russia, but Russian controlled. I did actually know this, but I wasn’t thinking
Isnt the stamp a 3 cent stamp like at the ending of Fargo, when the husband says that he won the contest for 3 cent stamp?
I don’t know if it was mentioned elsewhere by the “God” character isn’t God but specifically named Paul Marrane.
That name is associated with a medieval myth (see also our Sin Eater in S5) of the Wandering Jew. According to the myth, Paul mocked Christ during his trial and was cursed to walk the Earth forever as kind of an immortal witness.
While this is Christian myth, the Fargo character leans heavily into his Jewishness. He quotes the Hebrew scriptures and a Kabbalistic concept of reincarnation. He acts not as God but God’s messenger.
And specifically an avenging archangel to Yuri, offspring of the Wolves Hundred (the Black Hundreds were proto fascistic gangs in Russia who terrorized and murdered Jews) bringing the message from Rabbi Nachman.
I took this season as being about is fate real or is it all just random? Maybe it's both. Maybe it's not. That's what everything is about. We just can't know because it's beyond. We can never know the deeper truth. We can just assume or pick a side or not. Not knowing is a the good part of any story or your life. There are zero answers.
absolutely
31:45 it didnt run out of gas malvo pissed in its gas tank
My favorite part of season 3 is when rob mcelhenney talked about facebook for a loooooong time
brilliant analysis
How can you know all this, this is genius, do you have any resources or recommendation to arrive at this level of deduction and analysis, thanks in advance
Idk I get good at the stuff that I think is fun. For whatever reason my brain thinks this stuff is fun. But I’ll try to give an actual answer: I think what helps is that I’m constantly reading about history and psychology. In many ways, much of storytelling is the intersection of these fields. Stories about big societal machinations or even personal dramas about individuals usually follow a pattern, because history and individuals follow patterns
to me, green represents, Devine intervention. she was given a green car, etc
At the end Varga gets away. This is a billionaire, people. The only reason Gloria and Nikki caused Varga any problems was because he couldn't buy them off, but he certainly can buy off one of Gloria's superiors.
I mean even if he is cuffed up and taken away, give some 50 grand to bump into the officer, give someone that else 50 grand to leave all the doors open, give someone 50 grand to give Varga access to a laptop so he can send in a fucking air strike. This is a man who called in a military fire team just because Nikki was annoying him. He got away.
What is truth? Could we ever know?
The whisper. The pretentiousness. The nauseating drag. Thank you.
I agree, 3rd season is just behind season 1.
Season 2 is 3rd best to me. But all are the best shows next to Better call Saul.
s3 is by far the Bartonest of the Fink
How Yuri is bleeding all over from his body and head when he only got his one ear chopped off?
The Bolshevik Revolution, was 100% driven by j bankers in NYC (Trotsky was named Bronstein, he was from the Bronx), funding non Russian (j) revolutionaries in Czarist Russia. Their allegiance to both capitalism and communism, is another form of the uncertainty principle. They have committed the most egregious financial and terrorist (USS Liberty, Irgun bombings)crimes in history, created wokism, and hatred of terrorism, while making interracial marriage illegal in Israel, as they built a giant cement wall there, with our money, while calling us racist for wanting a wall here.
Epstein and Weinstein have funded and forced the greatest, most avaricious excesses. Yes, I think I know of whom Varga refers. Mossad is who saves him at the end. There is no justice at that level. Varga might well be Soros.
Mary Elizabeth Winstead I could not take my eyes off of her, totally my type, beautiful bad news. This was the last season of Fargo I finished.
5 is worth watching
