Fargo

In Fargo, the blank whiteness is used as a coen brothers view to the black ans scummy look of a film noir, this complete opposite in Fargo of the constant whiteness gives the small feel of not knowing whats out there beyond view & gives a very dirty grimmy feel, of the melting muddy snow.

The whole time we see Marge and Norm, they are together in bed, totally oblivious to the world outside and the murders, they are very out of place in this thriller & seem more like an odd couple from a Rom Com.

The scene right at the beginning of the movie, of Jerry's car driving down the main road to see the criminals sets the pace for the rest of the movie, this establishing shot is very slow & is drawn out, very much like the rest of the movie, how many scenes go on for a lot longer than would be expected in a thriller, e.g. Marge eating breakfast in the morning and the shot staying with Norm while he eats.

The large proportion of the movies comic moments come from the violent moments, as most all of the more violent scenes are depicted as being funny, such as Gaear putting Carl into the log chipper & when Carl is shot in the face and repeatedly shoots Jerry's Father-in-law, this violent moments are made to seem very comic, which is very much the opposite of the stereotypical action scene in a thriller, as most thrillers are based around their gory or exciting action scenes, where as the main scenes which would place this movie into the genre of Thriller are the movies

And finally the entire setting of the movie is very much the opposite of what is expected of a Thriller as the main cop is a middle-aged pregnant woman, and the ethnicity and setting of the whole movie gives it a much calmer and laid back feeling, including the big bulky clothes worn, slowing people's movement, this makes the pace of the movie feel even slower, as they speak in their very slow scandinavian-american accent comic highlights.
