Larry

Larry.

What a sack of shit. He deserved to fucking die.

user, sometimes I find... that if I count to ten.
One...

Larry, you... you ARE jesting

Two...

I would eat Mrs. Samsky's ass until Mr. Samsky came home.

Silently now.

*three*

*four*

So is the son killed by the tornado?

No one is playing the blame game.

This is a very underrated movie. The feels, man.

What happened to the goy?

The goy? Who cares?

yeah it's an amazing movie, top 3 Coens imo

Why do the Coen brothers make us feel the questions if they're not going to give us any answers?

Mere sir... my sir?

The stream of Coen bros threads today warms my heart, bless this board

Would you have taken the money to change the grade?

Prease ... accept the mystery

Weird. Watched this last night.

If his decision to change the grade at the end brought the judgment on him for his health and his son in the tornado, why all the shit that had been going down previously?

>why all the shit that had been going down previously?
to test if he would remain steadfast. things are looking up for him again at the end but then he changes the grade, thus failing the test and bringing on destruction. but that's of course only if you see it as a book of job analogy.

Stuhlbarg is fantastic in A serious man and just about everything else he turns up in too. He seems to be everywhere these days and films are better for it.

I remember thinking "how the hell have I never seen this guy before" the first time I watched A Serious Man. The Coen brothers did the world a huge service.

>If his decision to change the grade at the end brought the judgment on him for his health and his son in the tornado
Did it? Or was it merely a Coencidence?

*Coincidence

And idk. Seems like pretty instant karma.

Why the FUCK did he write letters to the tenure board???

As I understood it, he didn't want to change the grade because he always wanted to do the right thing. He was taking life too seriously. In the end after all shit that happened he dropped that attitude and became more carefree because he realized that in life you never really know what "the right thing" even is, since there is too many variables involved

>Seems like pretty instant karma.
That's the point, dumbo. They are completely unrelated events but the human mind will try to look for patterns or attach some connection between them to try to make sense of the world.

Someone brought this up in a previous thread.

brainlet here. what?

Psi = Sy

I still don't understand why he wrote letters, either

Unsure, but I am sure Sy was intent on cucking Larry and usurping his role as Alpha within the family. Fucking with one's finances is a good way to do that

This is the answer. They said the intro was like a non-sequitur, so I don't see why the ending couldn't be the same.

He didn't deserve the bad shit, but that's not why bad shit happens. It just happens, to the just and unjust alike.

Sy was a terrible person. That's pretty much all there is to it. He put on being a nice, gentleman but it was all a show. He didn't just want to take Larry's wife, he wanted to destroy Larry. Couldve been all part of the plan to undermine him to show his wife Larry isn't worth staying with.

Yeah that guy was a real jerk! He really wanted to humiliate him, insisting he stay at the Jolly Roger.

Based Norm as always.
