Coen Brothers

Boy what a pair of directors. Much better than any other directors we've watched in class by far. Although I have never heard of these guys before as either directors or just people at all, they made a pretty nice first impression on me. The movies were awesome. Beginning with Raising Arizona, began with a good amount of comedy and kept it throughout was a nice tactic. Kept me laughing from start to end with its hillbilly/roughneck comedy style. Then with Fargo, it had some dark humor in it that made the movie less unbearable with the accent that was overbearingly obvious. Then finally came No Country For Old Men that was awesome. The super shotgun? Who'd have thought of that! A shotgun with a silencer, it really doesn't get any better than that. Better than the petty theft and baby napping and the human body in the wood chipper. Anyways, the Coen Bros. use some pretty interesting aspects into their films. Especially of how they use sound in their movies. For example in Raising Arizona, the type of music and sounds they used were constant and in some ways a lil cartoonish. The music was the hillbilly'ish type and the sounds they used were constant. Then in Fargo and No Country For Old Men, the sounds used were insane. It generated so much suspense that it was almost unbearable. Almost made you just want to scream what the hell is going to happen? Using sound like so brilliantly draws the audience into the action and really gets them involved is why I think the Coen Bros. is the best director that we've seen thus far.
