"Serious Men" Tell Us that Life is Full of Uncertainty

Does the movie presumably say Larry and Eberman are a set of Schrödinger's cat's relationships? It is also a car accident. You don't know whether the cat in the box is alive or dead when you open the "box" of the car accident.
Life is full of uncertainty and you never know what will happen next. What may happen in the infinite number of parallel spaces is due to the personality of the individual. The possibility is reduced and finally disintegrates into a definite...

Actually it's fine

If you want to be a serious man, you will not be so serious.
A middle-aged man, a series of bad things, needless to mention. He didn't do anything wrong, and tried his best to be submissive, but life was still so real. He went to seek help, priests, lawyers, it seems that can't help him, maybe he can only accept the will of God. But life didn't treat him so badly, he might be awarded a lifetime position, his son was baptized, and his wife changed his mind, but there was still a...

an uncertain world

When I was young, I was a fan of physics. From junior high school, I began to figure out the relationship between force, motion, momentum, etc., and I fell into modern physics science books in high school. Although he has not made any achievements in physics, nor engaged in physical research, and even his knowledge will not exceed the scope of popular science books, he naturally knows Schrödinger's uncertainty principle and the famous problem of cat life and cat death. The film is not esoteric...

Discussion on the theme of film

Serious men recommend 5 stars.
This is a great masterpiece. Accidents can no longer start unexpectedly, making me think I bought the wrong disk. Pieces of seemingly trivial and bizarre plots, plus unique characters, and deep themes have earned the film an Oscar nomination for best work. The Coen brothers mature and perfect the use of light and color composition and the focal length of the camera to construct the image world. The jazz application of formalism, and the superb cutting...

familiar tune

How should I say it~~ This movie is a familiar tone, a familiar rhythm, a familiar picture, a familiar style, eyes, expressions, actions

, and there are still many fans of the Coen brothers~ Anyway, the story itself is not very boring because there is really no No matter how boring the

protagonist is, there are multiple clues or backgrounds that are constantly impacting the protagonist. A small film with no ending and no answer. The
director took the red wine and said...

Movie quotes

Judith Gopnik: Look, I didn't know any other way of breaking it to you. Except to tell you. And treat you like an adult. Is that so wrong?

Judith Gopnik: What?

Larry Gopnik: Arthur's on the couch!

Judith Gopnik: Look. Sy feels that we should...

Larry Gopnik: Esther is barely cold!

Judith Gopnik: Esther died three years ago. And it was a loveless marriage. Sy wants a get.

Larry Gopnik: A what?

Judith Gopnik: A ritual divorce. He says it's very important. Without a get I'm an agunah.

Larry Gopnik: A what? What are you talking about?

Judith Gopnik: You always act so surprised. I have begged you to see the Rabbi.
Judith Gopnik: You know the problems you and I have been having.

Larry Gopnik: Mm.

Judith Gopnik: Well, Sy and I have become very close. In short, I think it's time to start talking about a divorce.

Larry Gopnik: Sy Ableman?

Judith Gopnik: This is not about Sy.

Larry Gopnik: You mentioned Sy!

Judith Gopnik: Don't twist my words. We...

Larry Gopnik: A divorce-what have I done! I haven't done anything- What have I done!

Judith Gopnik: Larry, don't be a child. You haven't "done" anything. I haven't "done" anything.

Larry Gopnik: Yes! Yes! We haven't done anything! And I-I'm probably about to get tenure.

Judith Gopnik: Nevertheless, there have been problems. As you know.

Larry Gopnik: Well...

Judith Gopnik: And things have changed. And then-Sy Ableman. Sy has come into my life. And now...

Larry Gopnik: Come into your-what does that mean? You, you, you, you barely know him!

Judith Gopnik: We've known the Ablemans for fifteen years.

Larry Gopnik: Yes, but you you said we hadn't done anything!

Judith Gopnik: I haven't done anything. This is not some flashy fling. This is not about woopsy-doopsy.

Larry Gopnik: Sy Ableman!
Rabbi Marshak: When the truth is found. To be lies.

[the rabbi clears his throat]

Rabbi Marshak: And all the hope. Within you dies. Then what?

[the rabbi clears his throat again]

Rabbi Marshak: Grace Slick. Marty Balin. Paul Kanta. Jorma...

Danny Gopnik: Kaukonen.

Rabbi Marshak: ...something. These are the membas of the Airplane. Interesting. Here.

[He gives Danny back his radio]

Rabbi Marshak: Be a good boy.
