The director Coen brothers really liked the collection of films from the 1960s and 1970s, such as "Three Beauty in Spring". Although there is no market for short films now, few people make this kind of film again, but the Coen brothers hope to revive this genre. The film was originally planned to be made into a six-episode miniseries and broadcast on NetFlix, but the director Coen brothers always wanted the film to appear on the big screen, so they chose to present it in the form of a movie, consisting of six short stories. The composition, the length is basically about 20 minutes, the six stories are all short stories written by the Coen brothers themselves, after 25 years of accumulation. At the beginning of the film, these six allegorical stories are pretended to be six chapters in a collection of novels, and each in the middle is opened with a novel illustration.
