Live with your heart, lol!

Life out of control is a tragedy that cannot be avoided once it happens. It must be very painful to be in it, unspeakable, or have lost the strength to speak. He gradually lost his sense of everything around him, and was as numb as a walking corpse.
Whether principles will be broken, whether beliefs will be abandoned, whether more pressure will follow. These blind us to the light.
A serious man, but what on earth does 'serious' mean?
After watching this movie, I think the definition of serious in the protagonist is that everything he does is done after thinking, not wanting others to be hurt, but longing for himself happiness.
Wife and friends who have known each other for more than ten years are going to be together, students and their parents bribe and frame themselves, take care of brothers who can't communicate with others normally, the house is always full of gunpowder, the children call you not to worry about how you are in the hotel, just to talk and talk Ca n't receive a certain channel, work is not going well, have to deal with lawyers, neighbors repair their lawns at will, no money, Martha won't see him...
Cry man, if you don't cry, I'm going to cry .
You changed F to C, and in your dream you gave money to your brother to let him leave, but he was killed by neighbors as prey. Hehe, people are treated as prey. In hurricane weather, doctors called and asked for an interview as soon as possible.
Can't help but wonder, Coen brothers, what are you trying to tell us?
Is it telling us how bad life can be? Do you want to unearth the truest tragedy?
The real tragedy is that our hearts do not belong, our souls gradually dissipate in the face of difficulties, and even our beliefs are forgotten. What we think about, what we believe in, what we fear, gradually blurs.
After reading it, I told myself, it's okay, no one will be so miserable.
won't it? If we just live numbly, what is the difference between us?
But what can you think about, you tell yourself that you are small, you can't win, then you really lose.

My dear, life is nothing if it is not a brave adventure.

Don't be discouraged, everyone still has the ability to live.
Rest assured, life will go on, these will pass, and of course, new things will happen.
Trust that there are at least some things you can change.
For example, breakfast with warm milk and bread.
If this is not there, we can see the light.

Just to find out.

Serious man, maybe you should smile more, be happy for some silly things, and let some unchangeable things be like that. Turn your head and go after what you want. Even if you can't pursue it, it's better than crying forever.
There are very few people in the world who are truly strong at heart, and we don't even know what it means to be strong.
Just keep your faith and live your life with your heart, lol!

    I started to like it again, although it is still boring, but the overall arrangement and partial design are too interesting-more accurately speaking, it is broken.

A Serious Man quotes

  • Larry Gopnik: She seems to be asking an awful lot. But then, I don't know. Somebody has to pay for Sy's funeral.

    Rabbi Nachtner: Uh-huh.

    Larry Gopnik: His own estate is in probate, but why does it have to be me? Or is it wrong to complain? Judy says it is. But I'm so strapped for cash right now, carrying the mortgage, and paying for the Jolly Roger, and I wrecked the car, and Danny's Bar Mitzvah coming up, I...

    Rabbi Nachtner: Something like this... there's never a good time.

    Larry Gopnik: I don't know where it all leaves me, Sy's death. Obviously it's not gonna go back like it was.

    Rabbi Nachtner: Mm. Would you even want that, Larry?

    Larry Gopnik: No, I- well, yeah... sometimes... or... I don't know; I guess the honest answer is "I don't know". What was my life before? Not what I thought it was. What does it all mean? What is Hashem trying to tell me, making me pay for Sy Ableman's funeral?

    Rabbi Nachtner: Mm.

    Larry Gopnik: And did I tell you I had a car accident the same time Sy had his? The same instant, for all I know. I mean, is Hashem telling me that Sy Ableman is me? Or that we are all one, or something?

    Rabbi Nachtner: How does God speak to us? A good question.

  • Rabbi Nachtner: You know Lee Sussman.

    Larry Gopnik: Doctor Sussman? I think I - yeah.

    Rabbi Nachtner: Did he ever tell you about the goy's teeth?

    Larry Gopnik: No... I- What goy?

    Rabbi Nachtner: So... Lee is at work one day; you know he has the orthodontic practice there at Great Bear. He's making a plaster mold - it's for corrective bridge work - in the mouth of one of his patients, Russell Kraus. The mold dries and Lee is examining it one day before fabricating an appliance. He notices something unusual. There appears to be something engraved on the inside of the patient's lower incisors. He vav shin yud ayin nun yud. "Hwshy 'ny". "Help me, save me". This in a goy's mouth, Larry. He calls the goy back on the pretense of needing additional measurements for the appliance. "How are you? Noticed any other problems with your teeth?" No. There it is. "Hwshy 'ny". "Help me". Son of a gun. Sussman goes home. Can Sussman eat? Sussman can't eat. Can Sussman sleep? Sussman can't sleep. Sussman looks at the molds of his other patients, goy and Jew alike, seeking other messages. He finds none. He looks in his own mouth. Nothing. He looks in his wife's mouth. Nothing. But Sussman is an educated man. Not the world's greatest sage, maybe, no Rabbi Marshak, but he knows a thing or two from the Zohar and the Caballah. He knows that every Hebrew letter has its numeric equivalent. 8-4-5-4-4-7-3. Seven digits... a phone number, maybe? "Hello? Do you know a goy named Kraus, Russell Kraus?" Who? "Where have I called? The Red Owl in Bloomington. Thanks so much." He goes. It's a Red Owl. Groceries; what have you. Sussman goes home. What does it mean? He has to find out if he is ever to sleep again. He goes to see... the Rabbi Nachtner. He comes in, he sits right where you're sitting right now. "What does it mean, Rabbi? Is it a sign from Hashem, 'Help me'? I, Sussman, should be doing something to help this goy? Doing what? The teeth don't say. Or maybe I'm supposed to help people generally, lead a more righteous life? Is the answer in Caballah? In Torah? Or is there even a question? Tell me, Rabbi, what can such a sign mean?"

    [pause as the Rabbi drinks his tea]

    Larry Gopnik: So what did you tell him?

    Rabbi Nachtner: Sussman?

    Larry Gopnik: Yes!

    Rabbi Nachtner: Is it... relevant?

    Larry Gopnik: Well, isn't that why you're telling me?

    Rabbi Nachtner: Okay. Nachtner says, look. The teeth, we don't know. A sign from Hashem? Don't know. Helping others... couldn't hurt.

    Larry Gopnik: No! No, but... who put it there? Was it for him, Sussman, or for whoever found it, or for just, for, for...

    Rabbi Nachtner: We can't know everything.

    Larry Gopnik: It sounds like you don't know anything! Why even tell me the story?

    Rabbi Nachtner: [chuckling] First I should tell you, then I shouldn't.

    Larry Gopnik: What happened to Sussman?

    Rabbi Nachtner: What would happen? Not much. He went back to work. For a while he checked every patient's teeth for new messages. He didn't find any. In time, he found he'd stopped checking. He returned to life. These questions that are bothering you, Larry - maybe they're like a toothache. We feel them for a while, then they go away.

    Larry Gopnik: I don't want it to just go away! I want an answer!

    Rabbi Nachtner: Sure! We all want the answer! But Hashem doesn't owe us the answer, Larry. Hashem doesn't owe us anything. The obligation runs the other way.

    Larry Gopnik: Why does he make us feel the questions if he's not gonna give us any answers?

    Rabbi Nachtner: He hasn't told me.

    [Larry puts his face in his hands in despair]

    Larry Gopnik: And... what happened to the goy?

    Rabbi Nachtner: The goy? Who cares?
