Marge and Norm: Fargo Love Story (Supercut)
Love the movie Fargo.
One of my favorite things about it is the relationship between Marge and Norm. All of these people lying and cheating and stealing and killing each other - against that backdrop there's this beautiful relationship. In a lot of ways, that's what the movie is about for me.
In their handful of scenes together (just six) they're almost always cozied up or being affectionate to each other. Usually they're both in the frame together.
This is a supercut (if you can call a 9 min piece that) of just the Marge and Norm scenes back to back. Their own little short.

I always thought that this was the best representation of a loving marriage ever put to screen.
What I love most is how Norm is so completely unintimidated by her. His wife the police chief with all these guy’s running around answering to her and Norm never tries to steal her limelight; he’s just spending time with her, making sure she’s getting enough to eat with a busy case going on. So rare and beautiful to see
This is actually sweeter, more genuine and more moving than all the passionate-kissing scenes I've ever seen.
Their child must have been so lucky to have them as parents. Such lovely characters
normally when this type of couple is shown on screen, it's in a condescending way. people depict these type of couples as loveless and dull. but even though their romance is "ordinary", it's still so full of love that they enjoy every 'boring' minute with each other.
I love how the closest thing to conflict that they ever have is when they insist on being kind to the other. Norm insisting on making her breakfast even though she says he can keep sleeping, or Marge praising his skill/achievements as a painter when he tries to be modest. Heck, they're doing pretty good!
It's funny how every cop knows exactly what Norm is up to that day.
I always tear up when she says "Heck Norm, ya know we're doing pretty good."
I love them. They have a simple modest life yet are so full of love and kindness and happiness, compared to others in the film who are so obsessed with money...
As a younger man I laughed at these two as a older man I envy them
I love that she just solved a case and she's praising him on his accomplishment with the 3 cent stamp. They support each other so well and their scenes are so peaceful compared to everything else. Relationship goals all the way.
Fargo, a grizzly tale of murder, kidnapping… and the sweetest couple in film history.
“There’s more to life than just money”
I love that their relationship has absolutely no character arc - their relationship is no different at the end as it was at the start - and that is just perfect.
My favorite scene is when the camera shows her going out to the patrol car and coming back while he is eating. It shows the warmth and coziness of home.
Through most of my childhood my parents didn’t have a great relationship (a lot of fighting, slamming doors, name-calling, bad-mouthing, grudges, etc). It was my only model for how a husband/wife behave. I saw this movie when I was about twelve, and I still remember how much Marge and Norm’s relationship impacted me. “That’s what I want someday” I decided. At 34 I’m happily married and it looks like this: loving, sensual, calm, reliable, cozy… ❤❤❤
Love how he knew she wasn't gonna eat the eggs and he'd get to eat them haha. THIS is what relationships are all about lol. The gesture.
Frances McDormand was just so damn cute in this film. Darn tootin' she was.
I already thought it was touching enough when Norm woke up to make sure Marge had breakfast. When I realized Marge was pregnant, I’m even more touched <3
I just love that first scene of them. Marge wanting to let Norm sleep, but Norm insisting that he'll get up and make her eggs, the back and forth of doing the other a kindness is just so heartwarming.
