The character development that the Coen Brothers use is different from many others movies of this time. Each character has a specific duty and purpose in the move. There are no pointless characters. The audience knows something unique and obscure about everyone who plays a part in the move, even if it is small. Even without that character speaking, you can learn so much about them. Their subtle humor comes out in the development of their characters. In many instances it is as if the villain can’t take himself seriously.
