Life is full of unknowns

Through various film and television symbols, it describes the protagonist’s process of seeking answers and solutions to life’s dilemmas, fully showing the absurdity of social reality in the 1960s, and highlighting an existential proposition. Serious questions about life will only exacerbate the absurdity and nihilism of existence. .

You lose as soon as you are serious, because you don't know when God will make a joke to you. It's as if you have proved Schrödinger's cat, but you still can't know the life and death of that cat. Larry seems to be useless, he is also a man who is meticulous about work and life. The succession of misfortunes will make people doubt life no matter who falls on them, and there is no point in discussing them. Brother Coen tells you that this is life, so you may as well accept it calmly.

    On the way to work, I am still thinking about the blackness and uncertainty of life. Fortunately, I was watching "A Brief History of Time" recently, otherwise what Schrödinger said in the comments, I can't measure it, I don't know why. Migrant workers should work harder to read books. . .
