But let me AHA that! The 'true story' that a japanese woman died looking for the money buried in the 'true story' of fargo is equally untrue. She actually was depressed and committed suicide. Fargo though is a brilliant film, especially all the american, with dutch overtones, accents which by rights should have been really really annoying
