This is a rigorous man, a physics professor and a Jewish believer.
His family: middle-class vibe, son addicted to music and TV, daughter with sharp glasses who always washes her hair, wife with whom he can't communicate better, high IQ who suffers many setbacks in life My fat brother, an ordinary car, sunny middle-class neighborhoods, simple houses and clean lawns.
Family disputes, work, traffic accidents, financial difficulties, all kinds of problems came to him.
The original normal life is facing collapse at this moment. In the face of all this, this real and serious man, he questioned all this, and he sincerely looked for the reason.
He sets out to solve these problems, confronting Mr. Park, the father of a Korean student, who asks his new neighbor why he goes out hunting in the morning, trying to sort out the sloppy life.
The film is very well organized in structure, I think it's a very "serious" film, I don't know much about the Coen brothers, it seems that this is their style? Not sure.

God is not obligated to tell you all the rules, you just need to feel what you get and control what you can control. Others, Paoding Jie Niu or go with the flow.
All we can be sure of is this uncertain fact. Just like proving the "uncertainty principle" with a mathematical formula.
At the end, the tornado, and the doctor's call, maybe the film is to tell us that the disaster continues, but it depends on how you treat it.
I liked the shot of my son looking up at the American flag before the tornado came. He said, look, this tattered flag is about to be torn apart by the wind.
