“Is this man bothering you?” is such a brilliant moment. Throughout the movie the gentile neighbor has been passively hostile to Larry, but immediately comes to his defense when he’s in conflict with an Asian person.
One reason to like the Cohen bros is that level of intelligence and subtlety. The average joe watching might not understand, but it’s so perfect in context.
According to IMDb, even though it looks like the man is asking Larry if the Asian man was bothering him, it was actually written as the neighbor asking the Asian man if Larry was bothering him. If you look closely, he isn’t making eye contact with Larry at all when asking that question. In the context it’s funny because no matter what, Larry is being attacked by everyone in this movie.
Michael Stuhlbarg really got ROBBED how he wasn't even nominated for Best Actor,he was phenomenal in this and carried the movie all on his own,especially with his facial expressions,great actor.
He and Fred Melamed both. I read a piece that described Sy Ableman as cinema's greatest villain since Darth Vader. Larry Gopnik is sneakily one of the best Coen characters. Every time I watch A Serious Man, I have a new appreciation for it, true of most Coen films, but I like it a lot more each time, not just a scene or line. Stuhlbarg played Larry so well, I think people assumed he was so much like Larry, thus no nomination, his range of characters since then shows he can be vicious as well as this perfect nebbish. His Larry really feels desperate, and Clive really pushes him past his Jobian limit. And there are immediate consequence, just as Larry predicted. Though, that could just be meer surmise.
This film is brilliant. I just realized how the "Either he left the money or he didn't" "Please. Accept the mystery" scene is clearly a reference/parallel to the Schroedinger's Cat paradox explained throughout the movie. Is the cat dead or not dead? And to quote Larry himself while explaining the Uncertainty Principle: "We can't ever really know what's going on." The Coens can do no wrong. :D
mentaculus works. i feel like there is a scene that didnt make the final cut that would tell you that the money came from his brother's card games. the question of who ordered the abraxis album is without ambiguity. the angry letters are clearly from sy ableman...excuse me were from sy ableman until he died. we know who took the wig at the beginning of miller's crossing. there are a lot of things the coen bros tell the movie audience but keep from the characters. i also think the ending could have been made to clearly be punishment of the main character by hashem for boosting his student's grade with an implication of it to be taken as a serious form of misconduct. the opening scene in a serious man seems to not play in anywhere to the rest of the narrative but given the coen brother's anal retentive story telling it seems like they were going for something they just made too many mistakes to get it just right. still though great movie regardless. i just think the filmmakers were shooting a little higher but whatever footage didnt make it just didnt feel right to keep it in. anyway lighten up. death is coming for you.
it’s brilliant. So soft yet so immediately apparent. He doesn’t get a great life and reward for being morally upright - doing the right thing for a reward would make it selfish, not a matter of justice and morals. But the moment he compromises his morality, the negative consequence is immediate
Also, giving teachers bribes is, in fact, Korean custom. It's called 촌지(chonji), a small gift Korean parents give to teachers in the custom of Confucian attachment albeit it has waned a lot since the 90s.
The straightfaced, frank Clive really serves to strongly emphasize the emptiness and absurdity of the professor's words as he rambles about "consequences" and "morality."
Am I to surmise from this scene that the Professor failed to immediately contact the school's General Counsel's office upon discovering the bribe? It takes two to have an accident.
Larry made a moral decision, and there were NO consequences to it. That's kind of the point. There was no physical or philosophical connection to Larry's decision. But we're led to believe that as an audience. It was pure happenstance that he received the phone call from his doctor. Even if Larry handled his problems and found the answers he was looking for, he would've received the call anyway. That's what makes the movie so good! Keeps you on your toes.
***** Good point. I made my inference from what I saw in the film and from what I read in another forum and a video I watched about QM, posted by sixtysymbols. These were: Larry saying in his office there are physical and moral consequences; QM topic throughout the film; the doctor telling Larry all was good before he made the choice of changing the grade. I could be wrong, though. The same can be said about your interpretation. The only solution would be to ask the Coen brothers. We just have to accept the mistery.
***** Actually, I think you're kind of missing the point of the movie. The movie does not suggest all things are chance and happenstance and that there are no consequences; it suggests that we do not and cannot know if this is true. It's the whole concept of Schroedinger's cat, the uncertainty principle, which is expounded on by Clive's Father ("accept the mystery"). The events DO behave as if there are consequences however, and in some instances there definitively are. But in this case, it's unclear. You can choose to say that the phone call would always have happened and logically that is the only answer, much like the money. But Larry had no idea that the phone call would take place; to him, there was a very clear moral choice to be made and he shirked his responsibility (how characters react to circumstances being another major theme in the story), and thus to him, there may very well be a connection. But no one knows until something happens, and even when it does we have no way of knowing if there is a connection for sure. The best thing someone can do in a life filled with complete uncertainty is to "accept life with simplicity", and "be a good person". This is the only kind of "wisdom" that the characters who should have the answers give, including the religious figures who can only admit to not knowing more than they do. It's not much consolation, and Larry tries to do this, but he fails often. And to him, the illusion or reality of consequences do not matter; the result is the same, and how he chooses to deal with the new problem is the only thing that can give him the moral, emotional or physical relief that he desperately longs for.
The whole length of the movie you are waiting for this "serious man" to show up. Who should that be? With the ending you realize: It's god. He is serious about what he expect from us.
This is not a film that can be wrapped up with easy answers such as seeing a connection between Larry accepting the bribe and being punished for it. And if even if one wanted to make that connection and make everything less than a mystery, one can't. Certainly just punishment for a bribe is not finding out you have cancer or your son blown away by a whirlwind (which we don't know happens for sure either; the movie ending is as enigmatic as the beginning).
Jan96106 The ending isn't meant to be entirely ambiguous. It mirrors the end of the book of Job, which is what this movie is loosely based on. At the end of the book of Job, God comes to Job in a whirlwind (tornado in this movie) to restore everything that was taken from him. What the Coen brothers are doing is they're making it a literal whirlwind that comes, not a figurative or metaphorical one, and the answer always results in death or the impending certainty of death, as well as the meaninglessness of what occurs before it. In the end Danny is trying to rectify a wrong and do what's just in repaying his bully. It is shown throughout the movie that it was never truly his fault that he couldn't pay the bully back, but forces beyond him interfered and caused the initial situation. In the end Danny is still trying to be "a good boy", as the Rabbi asks, but just as he is about to do that the tornado comes. It's not really meant to be interpreted as whether Danny lives or dies, but rather the FINAL answer to all questions of life, which is death.
Viplove Maheshwari It's not that he can't do math. The film illustrates that Clive took the concept of Shrodinger's cat as just a fable that explains the mystery of life. To him there's no reason to do the mathematics as the mathematics aren't pertinent enough to understand the fable. The mathematics are made up human concepts that cannot fully explain anything, nonetheless something so mysteriously spiritual. In fact, Clive is embodying the knowledge of Shrodinger's cat paradox with his answers to Larry. "Very uncertain." Actions only have consequences "often", not always. Larry teaches this and can't understand the teaching, but the student can. Clive says it's unjust that he received a failing grade because he does in fact know the answer, and him not knowing it is only Larry's shortsided perception of the answer.
it doesn't just address religion, but life, social interaction, time, space, physics. It is all part of the same, which is really what this movie is trying to explain, we are all one part of the whole.
@ignoblius Actually the envelope could have been there. If you look at the place where the envelope was when Clive is leaving the paper is white and something is sticking slightly out from the edge, implying that the envelope is there. When Larry is looking at his messages, Clive could have put the envelope on his desk, plus his father and him both act like they knew about it.
To me this film was a better version of Barton Fink. Both stories with really no plot just a character study centered around one man in a mid life crises but I found A Serious Man a bit more entertaining and engaging whereas Barton Fink was more stylish and left more to the viewers imagination as to what to make of it.
It's not an either/or tautology. It's Schrodinger's Paradox. Is the cat alive or dead? Leave it to the Coen Brothers to begin one of the most intentionally ambiguous films ever made with the saying by Rashi, "Receive with simplicity everything that happens to you."
A strange bit of Coen brothers WTF: at the 2:34 mark of the video, as Larry is reading the 2nd telephone memo from Dick Dutton, beneath the memo is a brown file folder with a white subject label that reads: "655. Comparison of techniques for pancreatic islet transplantation in dogs." There are so many things out of place with that file folder being on the desk of a physicist. One of the strangest is the use of the word "dogs" instead of "canines" in a work of medical research on animals. What is Hashem trying to say here ?
There are so may good bits in this film, it's unreal. Easily their best comedy. Big Lebowski, Burn After Reading, I laughed a bit. This, I laughed my head off.
@jeffmangumisgood Pause at 1:36 and you'll see white paper directly in front of his three ring binder and behind his desk ornament. When he picks up the letter in that same spot later there is writing on that paper underneath it. At 1:36 you would have seen the writing on that pad if there was no envelope.
As an addendum to what I just wrote, it is also true that most people do what the dentist does; when they can't make sense of things, they worry and ask a lot of questions, and then, when things settle down, they just go back to living and forget anything troubled or disturbed them. I guess the second attitude is receiving events with simplicity. But is Rashi correct? Does that make them a sage? Or does that make them a dolt?
@etsneroj That's all you had to say, now everything clicks into place. The ending makes so much more sense to me now , and thinking about it made me laugh.

"Accept the mystery" that was the line that summarized the entire film IMHO
Meer sir, my sir.
Secret test....hush.......hush.....☺
It summarizes human existence.
Is it, though? Or is it the answer to the question, "When the truth is found to be lies, and all the hope within you dies, then what?" ;)
Receive with simplicity everything that happens to you
"I didn't leave anything. I'm not missing anything. I know where everything is."
Smooth.
“Is this man bothering you?” is such a brilliant moment. Throughout the movie the gentile neighbor has been passively hostile to Larry, but immediately comes to his defense when he’s in conflict with an Asian person.
It's the pyramid of racism.

Michael Stuhlbarg= Should've been nominated for an Oscar. His finest role so far. Deserves more work.

He has had allot of work though
Clive's father actually states the central message of the whole movie: Accept the mystery.

Yes! And the opening scene, with the old man getting stabbed, is also an allusion to the Cat Paradox.

The scene with Clive's father is absolutely brilliant, as is the entire film. Classic Coen brothers.
A brilliant mash-up of the Book of Job and the nonintuitive philosophy of Quantum Theory with some Jefferson Airplane thrown in.
One of my favorite films. It’s definitely on another level.
I love the parallel the deformation conversation draws with Schrodinger's Cat. It's so clever.
"In this office, actions have consequences."

What an absolute marvel this masterpiece is....
This might be the Coens' best film.
And probably their most underrated yet

it might be better than their best movie too

The bribery parallel to the dead cat theory is just amazing

In order to make many good films, one must first assume that lawyers do not exist.
Larry made a moral decision, and the consequence was a physical one.
Clive deserved to pass as he clearly demonstrated that he understood Schroedinger's paradox better than Larry himself.
