God will find you and punish you 8 of 10 Coen Brothers made a film based on an anecdote about a man who does not succeed at all, he is haunted by failures and even his wife goes to another. No reason, out of respect for the fire. And now, completely exhausted, he crashes on his knee to ask God what all this is for him, what is his sin, that revenge is so terrible. And heaven said to him, "Well, I don't like you, I don't like you."
Larry Gopnik doesn't even answer that. And attempts to reach God through the plains of success do not know: they either start an old, long-learned record about the inscrutableness of the path of the Lord, or have long gone mad.
No, His ways are unpredictable, of course, but God in this world is a variant of Schrödinger’s cat, either alive or dead. Or maybe he never existed at all? And most importantly, unlike the well-known paradox, we do not have the opportunity to check and feel. We just have to believe and hope.
Also, the directors' bar mitzvah seems to have taken place around the same time and in the same places as the movies. And if there is a work more undermining faith in One Who Cannot Be Named than The Serious Man, it is the book of Job. True, there the Creator at some point takes up the mind and saves the unfortunate righteous. Judging by the latest shots of the film, Larry Gopnik was much less fortunate, and there is nothing to talk about Christian pilafs.
