All the seemingly inconceivable absurdity is a reflection of the philosophy of life

It is really creative to use absurd stories to build a philosophy of life. To be honest, the Coen brothers are too hung up?? There are two rabbis in the whole play, one is jumping out and standing in another perspective, some seemingly bad things in life, On the contrary, it is a new beginning; the other rabbi has no reason, and no one knows the truth. If you want to know the truth of life, then I tell you that life has no reason, relax and deal with it, everything will pass, and it is you When you don't pay attention, it just doesn't make sense. Ridiculous, my wife cheated with a friend she had known for many years, and asked herself to move out, and she also asked to hold a turbulent divorce banquet, and told all her relatives, friends and friends? This cuckold is unbearable. What's even more absurd is that his wife's cheating partner died in a car accident. Everyone thinks that he should pay for the funeral. He collapsed to ask the rabbi. What is the reason for this, um, no reason. Asian students are also very interesting. As a teacher’s own student who failed the exam, of course they should not pass. The students hoped to use bribes to let the teacher let go, and even asked their father to come over to threaten. On the contrary, everyone pointed at him, should this situation be changed from failing to passing? This is obviously not in line with God's will. It's going to go to hell. It doesn't make sense, it doesn't make sense! Of course, in the end, it was changed to pass (finished! spoiler) The character of the son is also very funny, a boy who is distracted in class, obsessed with rock music, looks weird, lacks interest in boring ancient texts and religions, and even hates people , On the day of the church bar mitzvah, he was arranged to meet the bearded elder in a small dark room. In this depressing environment, the elder actually returned the radio that the teacher had taken away, and told him about the members of the Sunflower Band. Name, although there is one name I can't remember, the boy smiled, life may not be so jerky and difficult to understand. Suddenly it ended one day, my wife returned to my side, the qualifications for the classroom were also retained, and the mathematical derivation formula on the blackboard was easily solved, although this formula was to prove that the world is unsolvable, of course, Asian students The score was also changed to pass by himself. All the absurd, embarrassing, sad, and possibly joyful are all part of life and cannot be explained with serious reason. The highest explanation is that there is no reason, relax! relax! Everything will pass!
