Fargo Script Analysis

Almost, there are couple mixed up words. They are said but just in a different order.
No, only as I said there are couple of words mixed places.
Not sure, because you see the protagonist or at least you think so (Jerry) and then you see those two definitely antagonist characters. Then at the line where Carl asks about wife being kidnapped, I do understand that all of them including Jerry are into something dirty.



The first one to start a dialog was Jerry. The man who said that Jerry’s late 1 hour is Carl and the person who leant over the table to say “or your fucking wife, you know” is Grimsgrud.
Jerry – he was using very neat word combinations like “it was a mix up I guess”. Also when he was attacked verbally about his lateness, Jerry apologises a lot. So to me he seems very shy, with good manners and generally a family man.

Carl – straight to point kind of guy, talking fast and uses logic phrases/comebacks. Seems passive in judging from gestures but aggressive with words. A straight up gangster.

Grimsgrud – a regular henchman who doesn’t talk but if he does its going to be short, straight to point. Very masculine and the only line he says is very short and aggressive in a sense.

I could easily talk about Carl and Grimsgrud as antagonists. But to say that Jerry could be one I would not say that. But when he starts to talk details about the kidnapping, I get the idea.
The lines in the script tell us exactly who is who. Even Jerry is to be an antagonist because to pay off some debt he wants his wife kidnapped. Instead of some other methods Jerry kicks off with the most drastic one.

Liudas your Fargo awnsers are good, you need to look at the main site and complete the outstanding tasks. Then meet with your group to discuss the Thriller and work on your own individual script. Chris

You still need to complete the outstanding task and i want you to focus on them first. Then use the "Your own script Task" information to assist you in creating a script. You need to post it for Dan's lesson this week. Don't worry if all of the text alignment is not right on your post, either speak to Nina in lesson or I can help you next Tuesday. Once the script is up you need to focus on the "pitch" task already posted on the main site. Chris
