"A Serious Man" Interview with Richard Kind

[jkirshne]

@ejgiv you're wrong. You clearly have no knowledge of Jewish lore, religion or history. If those are your conclusions I suggest you do some research and watch the movie again. It has a very happy ending and if you are blind to that you need to reevaluate your perception of this film.

@FungusMossGnosis As far as I know satire is also a form of critique often used to denounce abuse, but this goes beyond mere satire smart guy. You are obviously not a Coen brothers fan. There are a serious philosophical undertones to several of their films. I see at least three messages here; 1. The Jewish religion is false and offers no consolation for suffering. 2. Rabbis are clueless fatuous fools3. A catastrophe is looming on the horizon. Where is the satire in the final scene Einstein?

Probably the most anti-Semitic film Hollywood has ever produced and nobody has even noticed!

@ejgiv - take the gaspipe, schmo!

That's absolutely asinine. That's like say's a Mike Leigh movie is "Anti-British", or 'Elmer Gantry' was "Anti-Christian", or that 'Deliverance' is "Anti-Southern"....

It's called: satire, ya lamebrained putzo.

I also read George was a dear pal of Richards. Clooney lived with him and would scoop out the litterbox. So Richard would think his new kitten was sick. Then George used the littlerbox after Richard took the kitten for a vet check. Oh Kitty! Richard was said to yell. George also gave Richard a horrid picture he told Richard he painted. A true pal Richard hung it in his livingroom and thanked him. George finally had to fess up to the hoax. George for weeks told pals he was taking classes!

Have a great day as always :)

When I think of Richard Kind I think of two things. Spin City (besides Michael J Fox) he was the reason I watched. And George Clooney. In a drugstore a few years ago I read a book about funny things actors do. I looked up George and read that he likes to take peoples cameras at parties and take butt pictures of himself to surprize people when they get the film back. Can you imagine?! Please take my camera George!
