The Coen Brothers

Well I must say that I didn't love this unit. The Coen Brothers have a sense of love for violence and crime. Each of the movies I viewed in this unit was bloody, there were lots of murders and the plot was a very violent one. My parents hate the Coen Brothers and I can see why. Me on the other hand don't care as much but the movies did somewhat gross me out. The only movie I really enjoyed from them was O Brother Where Art thou? It was very comical and not that serious. You could say it was like a comedy. It was different from what the brothers usually make. At least that's my opinion.
One of the most noticeable aspects of their films was that there was one character that did an illegal thing to get hold of something that wasn't theirs in the first place but then in the end it somehow rights it self out with the exception of No Country for Old Men. In Raising Arizona, H.I. and Ed wanted a baby so bad that they ended up with the crazy idea of stealing a child from a rich family. They realized that it was a mistake and that they couldn't handle a baby if they couldn't even work situations out between them so they returned the baby. In Fargo, there was the two men who wanted the money and got their hands on it but both were killed for what they deemed right but truthfully was wrong.
