Serious men are a joke

A male protagonist who conscientiously abides by social rules is suddenly involved in a series of tornado-like accidents, shattering his inertial life.

He wanted to ask God, and he was also thinking in his dreams, why he did this to him, but he couldn't answer, and he was even more confused. Gradually, his life in chaos continued to move forward.

Listening to the son who smokes marijuana, he successfully completed the bar mitzvah in a ridiculous manner, and set off on the right path, but when he looked up, he found that a tornado was coming.

Life has always been Schrödinger's cat, and the cat never knows the answer and has lived its entire life. Cat's quest for certainty turns into such a ridiculous comedy.

Several short stories inserted in the film are also so interesting. The first is an old man who is not human and non-ghost, and the second is a man who is engraved on his teeth.

The Coen Brothers' philosophical discussion goes far beyond the dramatic pursuit of the story. The entertainment taste is much worse, and the score is slightly reduced, but in exchange for it is the author's work worth pondering over and over again.
