How would you rate this movie in the Coen brothers catalogue? I think it's top 3
>>220525027Top 5 for me. It and Barton Fink fight for fifth place.
>>220525027How do you defeat Sy Ableman? Is it even possible?
>>220525027I think you have to be jewish to enjoy it so I skipped it
>>220525027Its the best one
>>220525100if I read the movie correctly, and I did, it's set in the 60s and he's supposed to be a caricature of those touchy-feely types of the era. I think you could beat him by blasting Slayer on the boombox
>>220525100by not being a passive little pussyboyunfortunately this method doesn't work for jewish men
>>220525027I don't know if it can be rated as "objectively" the best (whatever that means), but it's got such a perfect hermetic construction that it certainly has a claim to being in the "objective" top 5. Personally, it's my absolute favourite of theirs.
The first rabbi was the best
>>220525455the young guy who kept talking about the parking lot for no reason? absolutely not
What is it about this movie that makes it come up almost daily here?
>>220525252>>220525407he is a DYBBUK you absolute morons
I take it you don't talk?
>>220525638gezuntheit
>>220525586Which one was better to you?
>>220525638wasn't the last rabbi the dybbuk from the opening scene?
I like the casting of the local actors. It makes me think more about the actual story and less "haha John Goodman is so great".The three Coen bros films I come back to are this, No Country, and Burn After Reading.
>>220525677the woman who gave him weed
this and Burn After Reading are my fav ones
>>220525696>>220525777>Burn After ReadingI haven't actually seen that one, gonna check it out next

>>220525638Nope, he's literally Satan>God discusses Job's piety with a character called the adversary (הַשָּׂטָן, haśśāṭān, lit.'the adversary'; i.e. "the satan"). The adversary rebukes God, stating that Job would turn away from God if he were to lose everything within his possession. God decides to test that theory by allowing the adversary to inflict pain on Job.
>>220525027It’s their best one. In fact since they split up and one of them was revealed to be stupid, you could say it’s the good one’s best one
>>220527075yes but joel has not yet demonstrated he can make a comedy or "coen style" film by himself yet because the tragedy of macbeth was certainly not that
>>220525077barton fink sucks
why are they obsessed with our teeth bros?
>>220525027Comfy jew black comedy but not their best at all.
>>220525027Clearly the best Coen film of the last 25 years along with No Country for Old Men.They have many good movies, I think A Serious Man is in 6th or 7th place of their filmography.
>>220525858the glasses really do her a favor.also>McManusis she actually a crypto goy?
>>220528792>is she actually a crypto goy?please take a look at that face once again, anon
>>220525027This is potentially the most Jewish movie I have ever seen. I know that makes it seem like I didn't like it. I can't even remember the plot but I do remember liking it. The first scene was weirdly creepy. The neighbor's briefly seen tits were good. All in all, worth watching.
Jew kino, I'd put it in their top 3.
It's deeply personal and that's cool. I do think people give it an undeserved boost because of the painstakingly executed themes of divinity and sin or moral action. I get the argument that those things are inherently good, but you could also say the themes of familial love and warmth from Raising Arizona are inherently good and ASM doesn't have them. I'd rank it about equal to Raising Arizona on merit, although it's a much more unusual film. The Big LebowskiO Brother Where Art Thouthird tier movies like ASM, No Country and Raising the rest
What does the tornado mean at the end?
>>220531667The whirlwind is a classic symbol of God's power and his right to take life. It's implying his son is gonna be killed in a freak tornado mishap and it's part of the same divine mystery as everything else.
>>220525027It's pretty much reddit meets netflix meets globohomo feminism. Basically it's feminism the movie made to hypnotise the viewer into thinking "white men bad" and "POC women good". There isn't really much more to this dreary film than that.
>>220531710I thought it was a reference to the Talking Heads Once in a Lifetime
