anaysis of the script for fargo


There was one scene in the script that was deleted at the beginning of the film. There are no more changes to the script so when you read the script it does tell you exactly what you are going to see in the film. The film is a bit different because you get to see the surroundings and what they really look like and whether the way they talk to script suits the character on the scene.

The name of the first character is Jerry. He is a very quiet and hesitant person. He likes to keep his personal life to himself. The word that he uses the most are “uh”, he also pauses and stutters a lot. The character is both antagonist and protagonist because he is setting up his wife to be kidnapped; however he is doing it because he needs the money. The script shows us that he is planning to kidnap his wife because Carl says it and they are talking about how much money they will receive if the make a ransom for her to be released from being kidnapped.

The next character is Carl. He is seems like the “hard man” and very aggressive type. This is because he uses bad language and is very forward and pushy to get things that he wants. He uses the word man a lot and the word “fuck it” which shows that he is very adamant to get what he wants there and then. He is the antagonist because he is doing the kidnapping and is doing it for money.

The last character is Grimsrud. He seems like the sidekick of Carl. He doesn’t talk a lot in the script and the film, however when he does he uses bad language. This shows that he too is a bad man. You don’t find out a lot about him but you know that he must be the antagonist of the film because he is with Carl and must be part of the plan for kidnapping Jerry’s wife.
