The last Rabbi is Alzheimer's, what else are you doing?

The Coen brothers have made a lot of themes, gangster films, police and gangster films, ethics films, biopics, but no matter what the subject matter, the effect of the filming is, according to Shanghai dialect, "the second head and the weird brain", and academically speaking it is dark humor, in the end What is presented is a kind of bad taste, and there is a sense of ridicule.

The film is beautiful and the structure is very distinctive. The beginning of the fable-like little story and the ending of the sense of fate are all good gimmicks, but they are just gimmicks. In fact, as long as you explain one thing over and over again, just mess around, don't take it seriously, this is the best attitude to life, but it's actually quite boring.

It refers to Schrödinger's cat, which is the most famous paradox in quantum mechanics. Based on a statement of the Copenhagen school, the state of a particle is uncertain when it is not observed, or a superposition of various states, then if Connect the state of the particle, for example, a radioactive atom has two states of decay and non-decay, with an organ that controls the opening of the gas bottle, then the cat next to the gas bottle is also in the state of being poisoned and not being poisoned. Such a superimposed state, wouldn't it be contrary to biological common sense for a cat to live or die?

And the paradox in the film, the only thing that makes people feel interesting is the bribery issue. If I report you, you can sue me for defamation, because you have no evidence. , this is completely a rogue attitude, but it really will turn people around for a while, and in fact it is not difficult to solve it.

Other problems encountered by the male protagonist are actually quite common, such as the unpromising brother, the wife who is having an affair and is going to divorce, the fierce daughter, the son who loves to watch TV, and how to solve all kinds of unhappiness in life, it is very difficult to appeal to religion. Natural selection, and religion is a mash. The first Rabbi said: You have to be good at discovering the bright spots in your life, the second Rabbi said, you have to accept everything that happens with a simple heart, this is really nonsense, in the end, just let you do nothing Hey, the third Rabbi is the big boss. He's already half-stupid. It is estimated that he will do nothing for a lifetime, and face everything with the simplest heart, that is, Alzheimer's.

At the end of the film, there is another tornado, and the doctor asks the hero to go to the hospital for a check-up. It doesn't matter what the result is. Anyway, with the mentality of letting it go, all problems are not problems.

Speaking of which, I remembered that the little girl at the front desk of our company was playing mahjong on the Internet a few days ago. She was seen by the boss of the stick and asked her curiously what she was playing. The little girl got excited and replied casually: This is very complicated. You don't understand it, and you don't need to understand it.

    I can't say it's bad, I can only say that the eccentricity of the Coen brothers and I are not the same, and we are not Jewish, so I can't understand their in jokes. The film was well done, but it still felt a little pretentious. If it was made by me, would Ebert and Scott think it was an extreme pretense, or would it be a profound philosophy?

    3.5 Brother Coen, I can't understand you more and more. . .
