Although the film does not have the murder plot that the Coen brothers are used to in previous movies, they used the superimposed method of nonsensical incidents that they are good at on Larry, making us feel that this man is pitiful. The sophistication of cash bribes by North Korean students, the bizarre behavior of his brother's singing in the middle of the night, the aggressive expressions of the neighbor's father and son, the pressure of promotion and the anonymous whistleblower letter that comes with it, and the methodical infidelity of his wife, it's all to Larry's " A straw has been placed on the belief that everything can be calculated. He still couldn't figure out why, he had always wanted to be a serious man, but he couldn't, realized that his destiny was starting to fail, so he asked God for help. God is sometimes invisible, and sometimes he can only be told to "perceive" to enjoy, or to preach a set of agnosticism that even the preacher himself does not understand. And the straw on Larry's body was getting heavier and heavier.
What does "Serious Man" want to say, in fact, the little story at the beginning of the film has already given the answer. Is the old man dead or alive? When you wake up the next day, will the old man lie down in a pool of blood, or disappear without a trace? It seems that you will only know until you wake up the next day, and at this moment, the old man is in a random state of being dead or alive, or they are in two parallel universes at all, the one that has been around since the Big Bang. Constantly mitotic parallel universes. What should the husband and wife do at this time, maybe they should lie down and get a good night's sleep. "Be comfortable with whatever happens to you - Rush".
