just different

The opening paragraph made me think I was in the wrong theater. This is the Gao An brothers, they try hard to make the audience unappreciated.
The story is about a professor with a small family who suddenly encounters bad luck and encounters all kinds of misfortunes and troubles, big and small...
The movie starts out piecemeal, as if consciously letting the audience do the puzzles themselves. Hey, I don't think about it that much, I don't care what you want to say.
The background is a Jewish community. Of course, the Jewish life presented by the director is very different from the traditional image.
Play, the director wants to play, just like the male protagonist doing a physical examination, the doctor smoking a cigarette and talking to him.
I think the premise of the story is a bit similar to the previous No Country for Old Men. It is also how the little characters face temptation, face the devil, and make choices.
Of course, there are no cold-blooded killers who shudder this time, but there are career troubles, marriage troubles, children troubles, sibling troubles, and money troubles. These troubles are chasing you every day like killers, making you frightened.
The Gao An brothers never taught esoteric truths, they just showed them in different ways. There could be a lot of imagery stuff, like the tornado at the end. I personally don't try to force meaning. I like a hazy beauty, and some are unclear. This is called intriguing. hey i like it.
