I was interested when the police officer finally goes to the people's home where the wife did a "hit and run" accidentally on the killer where she hit him and it drove his head and upper body through the passenger part of the front window of their Corvair then in 1979.
We all likely have met someone like Kirsten Dunst is playing who is beautiful but not too smart and disappointed with her outcome in life who really hasn't been anywhere or done anything in her life. But, that is also why she cannot deal with what happened to her because she believes everything has to be more perfect than it is. So, rather than call her a survivor it is better to call her in this instance: Very unrealistic in a fatal way.
So, when the officer tracks the car to the husband and wife he tells them about when he was in Viet Nam where people had a fatal wound and they had a look in their eyes which meant their perceptions hadn't caught up to the reality of the situation.
He tells them that the man she accidentally hit is a local Dakota Mafia like figure from a Mafia type of family and that they hurt people for money and this is just what they do.
The wife (true to form) denys anything is going on. The husband who obviously loves his wife more than anything doesn't want to contradict her because he doesn't want to lose her.
So, as the audience you look at these two folks as "Dead men walking" because it is only a matter of time before someone is going to kill them in some awful way because they are being so completely unrealistic about the really important things in life.
It's times like this when I'm sort of grateful for the life or death situations I went through young enough to be more prepared than most people are for really scary things happening to them. Because if you live in a fairy tale often you also die in a fairy tale too. So, reality has to be in there somewhere or your life is over sooner or later likely before your time.
Also, as I read more of this below this is considered to be a black comedy(not race). But, from my point of view if it is humorous the humor is pretty dark. However, it is very intriguing the way it is written.
The other scene that was sort of unbelievable is the daughter of the Mafia type boss in North Dakota whose father has just had a stroke. She is in bed with a rival Mafia type captain from Kansas city who is black. The conversation paraphrased goes something like this. Mafia captain from Kansas city: "Why did you put your finger up my ass when I was finishing?" She lying naked there in bed say something like, "I found it helps. By the way that wasn't my finger it was my thumb." which is pretty funny. But then she goes and tells this rival boss who wants to kill her whole family all the family secrets that likely are going to get her whole family killed by the Kansas city Mob.
So, as crazy and unbelievable as this story is you kind of know from things she has previously said that her father has molested her. So,she might have a lot of anger built up toward her Dad who is hurting or killing people right and left in North Dakota. But, then she says something really telling which is paraphrased: "I was born 10 years too late. I should be living in the 1960s and being groovy and everything it would have suited me better." The Mafia captain from Kansas city says something like: "You would have just died sooner if you did that." She says something like: "Maybe. But it would have been a really amazing experience."
I met people like this who didn't make it through the 1960s at all or maybe they made it to 1975 but no further. Unless you were a survivor you didn't survive back then in the 1960s and 1970s. So, here is another completely unrealistic person like the one who ran over the mafia guy with her car and then covered it up. However, by aligning with this Kansas city Mafia captain, he may or may not like her enough to protect her and thereby keep her alive through the war that is beginning between the North Dakota Mob and the Kansas City Mob. But if her family finds out what she has done before they die she is sure to die.
These plot points make you want to see what happens to Kirsten Dunst and this other girl. So, you are sort of hooked on needing to see whether they survive or not all these crazy crazy choices. (Which is likely the Black Comedy aspect of all this in a way).
Oh by the way if you haven't noticed, Fargo just started a new season (it's second I believe) with mostly all new charactors.
