Stranger Than Fiction The Truthiness of FargoYou dont have to have a true story to make a true story movie.

Its an oversight I share with a great deal of the reviewers who saw the Coen original, skirted the then nascent internet, and propagated what Joel and Ethan probably thought no one but the very dense would fall for see yours truly. That being duped, or at the very least rendered unsure, was possible is a testament to the effectiveness of a film that, to quote Ethan, pretends to be true. Watch Solitary Online Hitfix. Like most fiction, swatches of the Coens Fargo are sourced from real events most emphatically, the Woodchipper Murder of Helle Crafts and, according to Joel, a real life case of a guygumming up serial numbers for cars and defrauding the General Motors Finance Corporation. Not to say that Fargo is some artistic license abusing biopic because its inspiration has some ties to real events by that logic, every film would require some kind of pre show disclaimer. Rather, Fargos actual fidelity is a lot less interesting than its purported fidelity that the Coens, and Hawley, have chosen to endow Fargos narrative with an apparent authority of truth. Or, as Ethan explained in a recent interview with The Huffington Post We wanted to make a movie just in the genre of a true story movie. You dont have to have a true story to make a true story movie. This isnt truthfulness its something that feels like the truth that itch in the back of your skull that says waitmaybe this happened for real. Its a frustratingly charming invitation to wilfully ascent to a cinematic reality to give it a place in what you consider to be possible. To say yes to such requests can be both enchanting and dangerous. I cannot speak to every instance of fictions that, like Fargo, pretend to be true  but I would like to briefly touch on two of my favourites found footage horror, and its predecessor, the early modern travel novel. Fargo, 1. Top FXs Fargo Episode 1, Seasons 1, 2, and 3 L to RWhile pinning down the exact origin of the true story framing device is somewhat murky  it certainly saw refinement during the unofficial 1. Century hell in a cell match for the title of first English novel. Often, particularly in fictional travel literature, authors would claim to have come into possession of a stash of letters, a memoir, or an otherwise scrawled testimony theyd been entrusted to publish. Arguably, the device hit a stride with Daniel Defoe, who authored his most famous novel, Robinson Crusoe, under the name of its eponymous protagonist. This pre Lemony Snicket shit, in conjunction with the confessional tone and the then unprecedented sense of realism, led many readers to believe the book was an actual travelogue as opposed to a piece of fiction. Seven years after Crusoe, famed would be baby eater Jonathan Swift published Gullivers Travels, where he parodied the bejesus out of Defoes purported narrative veracity in an introductory note from the books fictional publisher. In it, Swift claims that his ancient and intimate friend, Mr. Gulliver bequeathed him the following papers and there is an air of truth apparent through the whole and indeed the author was so distinguished for his veracity, that it became a short proverb among his neighbours. While a part of me pines for such a high level of petty subtweeting, the 1. Though as it happens, some women, like Aphra Behn and Eliza Haywood, were able to fashion a comfortable distance between their works content and contemporary prejudice by framing their novels as historical fact. For women writers at this time, ascribing the authority of truthfulness to their fiction accomplished more than just narrative world building , or tonal realism  it compelled their readers to consider their work as valid and worthy of attention. Its a power less noble, shakier, more horror inclined works, would come to exploit. Left  Orson Welles doing damage control after the War of the Worlds broadcast Right  some very choice wording in Cannibal Holocausts theatrical trailer. For better or for worse, found footage horror is a direct descendent of the aforementioned fancy early modern fare. A descendent you privately loathe and leave out of the will, perhaps, but the point stands in both cases, giving credence to your fiction puts money in your pocket. Now listen, we could be civilized connoisseurs of the 2. REC, baddies like The Fourth Kind, or oldies like The Blair Witch Project. Or we could talk about Cannibal Holocaust, which Im going to heretically sit at the same table as Orson Welles War of the Worlds broadcast for its shared interest in procuring a truthy feel out of its medium. But where the jury is out on the particularities of the havoc conjured up by Welles  Cannibal Holocaust is a different, and cautionary, tale. The found footage trailblazer follows a team of American filmmakers into the Amazon basin to recover a documentary crew who disappeared while filming tribes of cannibals. Both the amateur documentary style of the film within the film and the employment of real indigenous actors which is a whole other can of worms led many to suspect that Cannibal Holocaust was a bonafide snuff film, a rumour director Ruggero Deodato did little to dispel. Probably didnt help that Sergio Leone wrote Deodato a prophetic letter that concluded everything seems so real that I think you will get in trouble with all the world. Milan, Deodato was presented with every directors dream scenario obscenity and murder charges. Did it help that the four leads were under contract to go into hiding for a year so as to fan the promotional flames of are the actors really dead No. Watch Painkillers IMDB there. No it did not. While the actors eventually broke contract and Deodato was cleared of the murder charges, the film does contain some very real and very graphic violence towards animals that landed Deodato, his producers, the screenwriter, and their United Artists representative an arguably lenient four month suspension. All to say, if theres a dark side to cinematic verisimilitude, Cannibal Holocaust is a contender. By endowing Fargos narrative framework with a sense of truthfulness, Hawley and the Coens invite viewers to validate improbable events  to ascent to a world that can contain both the tenacious courage of Marge and Molly, and the chaotic violence of Malvo and the Gerhardts. In this way, to consider the plausibility of Fargos fiction is to entertain a peculiar and uneasy paradox an exotic homeyness, a humorous severity. Its a tension at home in both the broader Coen canon, and the adjacent space Hawley has carved out for himself. I have been dancing around the term truthiness, which belongs to Stephen Colbert. Admittedly, the impulse to bristle at something purporting truth with no basis in actual fact is a valid one.
