The Coen Brother's are also pretty good directors..
Just like with Altman, I also enjoyed the three different styles of movies. The first one we watched, Raising Arizona was very funny and I liked the humor in that, and I like also how it focused on the American dream. I enjoyed Fargo, the next movie, because it was set in Minnesota and that held my interest because it was interesting to see things that I reconized. I have heard from a lot of people that they loved No Country For Old Men, although it was a pretty good movie, it wasn't really my type of movie, I hate blood and gore, it definatly draws my attention away from the plot. But I realized it was kind of suspensful to that sometimes brought my attention back until the gross parts came back. I think in all the movies he does a good job of connecting the characters with the setting of the film. Especially in Fargo and No Country For Old Men. Overall I believe The Coen Brothers have become very successful directors with their variety of films, using comedy and suspense.

I think you made a pretty good point about how the coen brothers are very good about connecting their characters to the setting. I didn't take note of that before but now that you said it, it makes a lot of sense. I would have to agree with you though on the No Country for Old Men...not my type of movie, but very suspenseful! - laura
