At least a few reviewers did see through the prank. Here's a handful of review snippets from the clued-in ones:
无论如何，一些人还是看穿了的。这儿有几段评论摘录：
However, repeated efforts by the Minnesota media to unearth any vaguely similar real life case have proved entirely unsuccessful — and suspicions that this could be another coy artifice from the Coen brothers are heightened by Ethan Coen's introduction to the published screenplay of Fargo (Faber and Faber £7.99 in UK), which concludes that the movie "aims to be homey and exotic, and pretends to be ture"
然而，明尼苏达媒体多次努力挖掘一切现实生活中隐约类似案例，却完全无果，怀疑是兄弟俩的又一个玩笑，柯恩给出版Fargo剧本(UK网站,Faber and Faber，£7.99 )的序言加深了此可能性，里边说，电影“出于随意和吸引人，假装是真的”。

All movies are in some way fiction, so what does it matter? The Coen brothers' Fargo claimed to be based on a true story, and they admit it wasn't; the "true story" bit at the beginning was just a stylistic device."
所有电影某种程度上看来都是小说，那有什么关系呢？科恩声称Fargo 基于真实故事，他们也承认不是；“ture story”好比只是种开篇的修辞手法。

Fargo is a comedy-thriller about a wacky kidnapping scheme that goes incredibly wrong. The brothers originally said it was based on a true story, but a New York Post "investigation" got the brothers to admit the story actually popped out of their heads.
喜剧惊悚片Fargo讲述一个古怪的绑架计划走向离奇不可收拾的局面。科恩原本说它基于真实故事，但纽约邮报的“调查”让他们承认这实际上是脑袋里偶然蹦出的故事。

The closest Fargo comes to being a "true story" is that one might fairly say it was "inspired by" some real-life incidents, primarily the disappearance of Helle Crafts, a Danish flight attendant, from her home in Newtown, Connecticut, in 1986. Helle's husband, Richard (against whom she had begun divorce proceedings), was eventually arrested, tried, and convicted of her murder: Police theorized that Richard Crafts had struck his wife unconscious in their bedroom with a blunt object, then placed her body in freezer; he later removed her body from the freezer, chopped it up with a chainsaw, put the pieces through a woodchipper, and scattered the remains in and around a nearby river.
最近Fargo 是一个“真实的故事”的“灵感”很可能传言自某些现实事件，主要是1986年丹麦乘务员Helle Crafts从她在康涅狄格州新城家里失踪一事。Helle的丈夫，Richard（她已提出离婚诉讼的），最终被捕，审判，并被判谋杀：警察推理Richard Crafts在他们卧室用钝器击倒妻子，然后把尸体放到冰箱；后来又移出，用电锯碎尸，再将尸块通过碎木机，最后把遗体分散到附近的河里和河周围。

The Coen brothers like a good in-joke as much as anybody. Next time you view Fargo, look for the name of the actor who played "the man in the field." You'll discover the entry listed as an odd squiggle that looks very much like Prince's signature. (I'm told the fellow who actually filled that role was J. Todd Anderson, one of the Coen's storyboard artists. The squiggle is Prince's signature laid on its side with a smiley face added. Wonderful joke, that. Laid on its side because the character is lying dead in a field.)
和所有人一样，科恩兄弟爱开玩笑。下次看Fargo，注意出演“the man in the field”的演员名字，你会发现目录列表里的奇怪潦草曲线，很像是Prince的签名。（真正扮演者J. Todd Anderson，科恩的故事板艺术家之一，告诉我这的确是Prince的签名，旁边带了个笑脸。妙极了。放在旁边是因为这角色死*在旷野里。）
PS：本文翻译出自楼主渣手笔，一直留着没去看电影版，所以不知道最后那句里的"lying “究竟是指电影里那个男人假死还是就是躺的意思。感觉像前者？

If there's still any doubt, follow the credits through to the very end. You'll find the standard tiny-print disclaimer about "no resemblance to any persons living or dead ..."
如还有任何疑问，注意演职员表直到末尾。你会找到那行标准的小字免责声明“剧中活着或死亡的任何人无雷同……”
