The tornado at the end moved me, why don't you care about 20 yuan, because the tornado is coming, because there is a bigger crisis to face, or there are more shocking things to be used for aesthetics.
Structure: The little story at the beginning is a prophecy, each of which leads to two alternatives for the state of affairs, and each has its own inclination.
The whole big plot after that draws a circle with small bumps. Pay back the money at the beginning, pay back at the end; change the grade at the beginning, and change the grade at the end. Some things have changed, some have not.

    Cohen is playing fantasy again: life is full of unknowns, don't take it too seriously

    Cohen Top3: , No Country For Old Men, Murder Green Toes, Serious Men. The most incomprehensible and esoteric movie I've ever seen has been refreshed again (the Coen Brothers', not too surprising)

A Serious Man quotes

  • Larry Gopnik: We had, I think, a good talk, the other day, but you left something...

    Clive Park: I didn't leave it.

    Larry Gopnik: Well, you don't even know what I was gonna say.

    Clive Park: I didn't leave anything. I'm not missing anything. I know where everything is.

    Larry Gopnik: Well... then, Clive, where did this come from?

    [raises his eyebrows]

    Larry Gopnik: This is here, isn't it?

    Clive Park: Yes, sir. That is there.

    Larry Gopnik: This is not nothing; this is something.

    Clive Park: Yes. That is something.

    [a beat]

    Clive Park: What is it?

    Larry Gopnik: You know what it is! I believe. And you know I can't keep it, Clive.

    Clive Park: Yes sir.

    Larry Gopnik: I'll have to pass it on to Professor Finkle, along with my suspicions about where it came from. Actions have consequences.

    Clive Park: Yes sir. Often.

    Larry Gopnik: No, always! Actions always have consequences! In this office, actions have consequences!

    Clive Park: Yes sir.

    Larry Gopnik: Not just physics, morally.

    Clive Park: Yes.

    Larry Gopnik: And we both know about your actions.

    Clive Park: No sir. I know about my actions.

    Larry Gopnik: I can interpret, Clive. I know what you meant me to understand.

    Clive Park: Meer sir my sir.

    Larry Gopnik: Meer sir my sir?

    Clive Park: [Careful enunciation] Mere... surmise. Sir. Very uncertain.

  • Sy Ableman: Do you drink wine? Because this is an incredible bottle. This is not Mogen David. This is a - heh heh - a wine, Larry. A Bordeaux.

    Larry Gopnik: You know, Sy...

    Sy Ableman: Open it. Let it breathe. Ten minutes. Letting it breathe, so important.

    Larry Gopnik: Thanks, Sy, but I'm not...

    Sy Ableman: I insist! No reason for discomfort. I'll be uncomfortable if you don't take it. These are signs and tokens, Larry.

    Larry Gopnik: I'm just-I'm not ungrateful, I'm, I just don't know a lot about wine and, given our respective, you know...

    [Sy abruptly hugs him]

    Sy Ableman: S'okay. S'okay. We're gonna be fine.
