It's really effective at showing how idiotic and selfish humans can be when she lectures him on how its a beautiful day. (http://www.autoadmit.com/thread.php?thread_id=3900229&forum_id=2#35458958) |

We are square on Norm, who sits in bed watching television.
After a long beat, Marge enters frame in a nightie and climbs into bed, with some effort.
MARGE Oooph!
Norm reaches for her hand as both watch the television.
At length Norm speaks, but keeps his eyes on the TV.
NORM They announced it.
Marge looks at him.
MARGE They announced it?
NORM Yah.
Marge looks at him, waiting for more, but Norm's eyes stay fixed on the television.
MARGE ... So?
NORM Three-cent stamp.
MARGE Your mallard?
NORM Yah.
MARGE Norm, that's terrific!
Norm tries to suppress a smile of pleasure.
NORM It's just the three cent.
MARGE It's terrific!
NORM Hautman's blue-winged teal got the twenty-nine cent. People don't much use the three-cent.
MARGE Oh, for Pete's - a course they do! Every time they raise the darned postage, people need the little stamps!
NORM Yah.
MARGE When they're stuck with a bunch a the old ones!
NORM Yah, I guess.
MARGE That's terrific.
Her eyes go back to the TV.
MARGE ... I'm so proud a you, Norm.
Norm murmurs:
NORM I love you, Margie.
MARGE I love you, Norm.
Both of them are watching the TV as Norm reaches out to rest a hand on top of her stomach.
NORM ... Two more months.
Marge absently rests her own hand on top of his.
MARGE Two more months.
Hold; fade out. |

Date: February 22nd, 2018 3:36 AM Author: Stirring Meetinghouse Toaster one thing that always bothered me about this scene (aside from frances macdormand coming across as too preachy) is that gunnar (or whatever his name is) shows signs of remorse.
seems out of character, as he's a complete sociopath throughout. |

Date: February 22nd, 2018 3:37 AM Author: self-centered pit He also has comical reaction (he's moved) when the woman says she is pregnant on the soap opera in the cabin.
This is right before he kills his partner, who is interrupting his viewing. |

Date: February 22nd, 2018 3:51 AM Author: Stirring Meetinghouse Toaster Norm is incredibly naive & simplistic. all that matters to him is the stamp contest. (i'd argue the coens made it a stamp contest because stamp hobbies are often used in tv/movies as a symbol of mundanity.)
Contrast this with Margie, who is incredibly observant (she's a detective after all) and deals with crime and action as part of her occupation.
In the last scene, Margie knows that she is bringing a child into a cruel, violent world and she won't be able to protect the child at all times anymore. (and, indeed, the child may very well be haunted by the same sense of hyper awareness she possesses -- reminiscent of the ben folds' song "still fighting it.") |
