Seriously?


Our first movie! I don't know where to start.

The Serious Man... I would probably call it "The No Backbone Man".
It was very frustrating to see him never standing up for himself. Specially his wife! Wow! What a crazy woman! I liked the goy neighbour. His last line was hilarious

The moral I understood was: Even though you try to do the right thing, don't. Everybody else around you won't and you'll end up living a boring life with nothing in the end. And, oh yes! if you think you have problems there are always something worse coming up for you. Oh, If you try to ask for advice? No point because nobody really knows what to do, they just pretend to be virtuous and smart. And we're all going to die so, might as well hurry, live and not take life so seriously.

But all in all, I didn't get it. The movie ends abruptly, they should have wrote "Etc..." instead of "The End". The bad events kept coming with no end in sight. Maybe the twister was the end of this specific story.
Allison, did you get the part at the beginning? "The dead Rabbi's visit"? Was it another kind of story a Rabbi would tell. Like the teeth story? I still can't make a co-relation between the 2.
I can't wait to read your take on the movie, you probably got it better that I.
It was ok but not very good. 4 on 10. Eeech! Your company was way better than the actual movie!

I'll be watching Zack and Milli make a porno tonight. Not sure if I'll be able to finish it but I'll try. I remember you liked the movie when it came out, we'll see what I think. Jon will be watching it with me.
