Review of Raising Arizona (1987) by Harish K — 11 Mar 2014

Starts with Nicholas cage's narrating and southern style score,this movie happened to catch my attention from the inception like usual Coen movies do.

Quirky cast of character,surreal sequence and goofy scenes makes it memorable.

You got young Hi (Nicholas Cage),an ex-con and Ed(Holly Hunter) ,an ex-cop .As odds even out they both marry each other which is the most interesting thing.

Incapable of giving birth to a baby ,and Hi's past stops them from adopting any.

Ed breaks down and find an illegal way to get a baby ,and that is.....stealing it from the owner of biggest unpainted furniture owner in Arizona.

That's the whole plot ahead,the idiosyncratic characters and dialogues and the situations they get in.

It is replete with these funny slapstick situations and deft camerawork which seems really entertaining.

John Goodman and William Forsythe as two criminal and fugitive brothers are really funny and good.

The character of Leonard smalls is very well written and it is like hound slash killing machine which can track anything.

Shooting rabbits through the desert it gets in the way of Hi and Ed ,the way it has being depicted is amazing.

Highlight of the movie is undoubtedly the climax ,filled with soaring emotions and pathos generated narrative.

If you want to enjoy a good comedy with every element of crime in it,this is the one.
