Serious People is somewhere between building beliefs, portraying life, and subverting everything. This is a serious and realistic film, with a clear theme but hesitantly various theories, and it is really a tangled film. (Or because I'm not a mystic at all, but an existentialist.)
The music in the film, except for the opening credits, which I can't enjoy, (it suits little Danny's tastes, though) is fantastic. The shots are very powerful, and the beauty is everywhere; but some shots make me sick. For example, when the fat man caressed the male protagonist's hand, the close-up of the hand, not the close-up of the male protagonist's face, conveyed the disgust very vividly - but it was too vivid. . Several times in the film, the cries also made me almost runaway. The plot is very clear, but I feel that there is a lack of communication between the big and small male protagonists.
As for Schrödinger's cat theory, I feel that it is very obscure and far-fetched to use it to explain life; it is not as good as Cao Xueqin's "When the false is true, the true is false, and when the true is false, the false is true", which is vivid and subtle.
However, the male protagonist and the junior rabbi are a bit like the two protagonists in TBBT. Other than that, I don't think it's a humorous movie. The male protagonist is very powerful, his eyes, movements, and tone of voice all interpret all kinds of psychology in place. The boss of the male protagonist is also very lively, leaning against the door and standing up to the signboard.
In other respects,,, although this movie is from the Coen brothers, I didn't think of their other movies when I watched it, but Kubrick and Woody Allen. So I feel that it is "not enough", the blank is very good, but it can be more profound and shocking.
