I would've been over the table kicking his ass for telling that bloody story and then ending it so abruptly and making it seem a total waste of the past 5 minutes.
Many people want to be right about truth, but truth is beyond us. All you can really do is strive to be increasingly less wrong about truth and accept that you can never fully know it.
I love this scene. It reminds me of a quote I heard which is something like "If you want to be happy you must accept there is such a thing as mystery".
I gotta love a religious guy with that kind of attitude. Who knows? We all want answers! Is it relevant? I love it. FAR more honest and humble than the self-aggrandizing that passes for spirituality in SOME circles.
In addition, we are a competitive culture, while you white-supremacist rednecks sit on your ass, waste the welfare rolls when your whiteness automatically makes it easier to get a job compared to those who truly need the program, chug shitty budweiser and beat your wifes. Education is far more valued in Jewish culture, and Judaism as a religion still values science and logic (90% of jews believe in evolution, while less than 40% of the US population don't understand its a fact.)
As a jew, I'll say this, the 'k' word is a racist term, goy is a lighthearted term for non-jews which most accept, similar to a black man calling his friend a homie. Judaism is a religion, and while being jewish is not a separate ethnicity scientifically, they have a specific cultural identity which non-jews don't have. Also, for you white supremacists, jews don't run Hollywood, it just happens when we were on voyages in the 19th century, our destination was California and we settled.
@PaulDenton14 Jews don't just call their friends goy, it applies to all non-jews. I don't really care if I'm a goy, but you should be able to see how it doesn't have the same friendly meaning of 'homie'.
And how is it for you to judge what is light-hearted and what is mean? I could claim that 'the k word' is just a light-hearted term for jews. You would object, but which one of us has standing here? If you're the authority on 'the k word', then isn't the goy the authority on goy?
@BornOnThe1stOfApril "Goy" quite literally translates into "nation". When referring to non-Jews as goy, it's really just saying that the person is of another ethnicity than the Jews. It isn't meant to be offensive in any way,and it doesn't mean anything offensive. In fact, calling Jews goyim" would still be factual, since it broadly means "nation" with no boundaries. The difference between goy and kike is that goy isn't an insult, and isn't mean as one, kike was created as for the sake of insult
@cinemaspaz. " Well it is true that Ashkenazi Jews are different than Sephardic Jews, but that doesn't make than any less Jewish." Kind of hard of hard to support their 2,000 year old land claim on Israel given the facts the Ashkenazis trace their ancestry to Asia/Europe
I am quite surprised that the elite Jews who run Hollywood allowed this scene to remain in the movie. My jaw dropped when I heard the lines: What happened to the Goy? The Goy? Who cares".
@t1mTV yeah, those are racist terms, and I didn't see contempt in the use of "goy" here. It's sort of like using the term "atheist" or "Christian" to me.
@t1mTV Judaism is a religion, the term "jew" can refer to a nationality/race or religious affiliation and your defense of ignorant prejudice is pathetic.
@t1mTV . . . there are much better movies for that. . . Schindler's List, Voyage of the Damned, Sophie's Choice, Passion of the Christ etc. . . This movie actually isn't even for that purpose. . .
@Uncle99B Actually a "Goy" means a nation. Jews have used it for a few hundred years to refer to nations and religions that aren't Jewish. I have no idea where you got cattle from? Cattle is "Bakar"
@schoolmornings. The claim that goyim means cattle is all over the place. Google goyim cattle. Whether it is accurate or not, I cannot say. I am, however, fairly certain that the term is meant as a pejorative
@Uncle99B It is inaccurate. The term is sometimes used as a prejorative (kinda like saying Yid) but most of the time it is just to refer to non-jewish nations. I'm not going to bother to correct everyone, because they'll just bring up a quote from a book which 80% of Jews haven't even read and say "You see! Jews are evil demons"
@schoolmornings. No offense, but I don't think you are the final word, the definitive source on this. I don't find your assertion that the word goy is generally not a pejorative a credible statement. Rather, you seem to be taking a side, a side that wishes to present Jewish people in only a favorable light.
@Uncle99B Goy means "nation". When reffering to a non-Jew as a goy, it just means that they are of a seperate people. Not necessarily bad, just different. Foreign. In fact, the term goyim is used to describe the Jews themselves at one point in the Torah, referring to them as "a kingdom of priests and a holy nation". Goy kadosh. If goy was meant as an insult, we wouldn't describe ourselves in our texts as such.
@cinemaspaz . R U really trying to sell the idea that the term goy has no negative connotation? Please. It is quite clear from this scene what this extremely ethnocentric Jew thinks of those he calls Goys. "Who cares".
@Uncle99B Maybe he said that because he has no idea what happened to the man and it doesn't have any relevance to the rest of the story or the morals?
@Uncle99B Again. It holds no weight to the morals of the story, it's not an essential plot point, and it just plain doesn't matter. He's talking about Sussman, not the patient. What happens to him is irrelevant.
@cinemaspaz . "The Goy? Who cares". These are the words from the rabbi that the Coen brothers used to close the scene. Far from irrelevant, it is the key act in the scene.
What is it with you guys who get caught being dishonest and, instead of acknowledging this fact, try to change the argument?
@Uncle99B The point of the story was what Sussman found, and how he's trying to find out who it was for and what it meant and all that. The patient had no idea what was in his teeth. It didn't really affect him, therefor why should anyone care what happened to him next? Sussman's experience was the focus. It's true that the rabbi didn't care what happened to him, but not because of the fact he was a goy, but because the only weight he held in the story he had no knowledge of or control over.cont
@cinemaspaz . The scene tells us who the rabbi is. He does not say that he does not know what happened to the patient, that is is not important to the story. He calls the man "the goy" and uses the words "who cares". His words close the scene, accentuating their impacgt. This movie is about the people the Coen's grew up with. It is an honest and funny look at a very screwed up bunch of folks -- Jews and non Jews alike (although they view the non Jews from a distance).
The scene is not about Sussman, nor his patient. It is about the Rabbi. The Rabbi's story tells us not about Sussman, but about the Rabbi. He never refers to the patient as the patient or by his name, he always calls him "the Goy". He dehumanizes him. This Rabbi who is a respected figure in the community is a racist buffoon. With a mean streak (rather than help Larry he effectively tortures him). This is an honest, comic, unfavorable look at the people they grew up with.

@Uncle99B Did you ever think of the other two possible reasons for their eccessive use of the term goy in this scene? A: The factt that Hebrew letters being found in the mouth of a non-Jew, not even a Jew but a non-Jew, is a similar level of irony as to reading a gay's journal to find serious, homophobic writing in every passage, or B: cuz let's face it, the term goy is pretty fun to say.
@cinemaspaz. Wow. You just refuse to admit that the Coen brothers were showing the racism of some of the people they grew up with in their portrayal of this Rabbi.
@cinemaspaz . The scene contains no non Jew saying Goy -- but you give this as a reason for the excessive use of the word goy in the scene? it sounds funny in the mouth of a non Jew. What?
@cinemaspaz. "Did you ever think of the other two possible reasons for their eccessive use of the term goy in this scene? The fact that Hebrew letters being found in the mouth of a non-Jew, not even a Jew but a non-Jew is a similar level of irony...: I guess I took you literally

I get and love this scene, but wouldn't the logical thing to do be to ask the goy about his teeth and why the hell they have that engraved in them instead of wondering if Hasham has a purpose for it?
definite brilliant filmmaking: scoring a surreal scene about a hebrew messages written on a Minnesotan's teeth and the crisis of faith it causes in an orthodontist with a Jimi Hendrix song about the Vietnam War.
@erniehead Exactly. I think it would be more Catholic than anything else. In Scorsese's movies (particularly Mean Streets), the main character will struggle with it.
**spoiler** Well, the film is very loosely based on The Book of Job from the Bible. In that particular Book, God appears to Job in the form of a whirlwind.
actually, gematria (numerical value) provided for HOSHIENI is deliberately placed incorrectly - in the movie we see 3, 7, 4, 9, 5, 4 which does not have sense in any numerical key. Plain gematria goes like this - 5, 6, 300, 10, 70, 50, 10 which is equal to 451 and to value of such words like "Ishmael" - "God hears", "Mokshe" - plot, snare, sth made difficult" and "Amiti" - "Truthful". Try making sense out of it, or "accept the mystery"
One of the most brilliant scenes of the Coen brothers' career!
It is absolutely my new favorite movie!
When I left the theater, I was absolutely fascinated and shocked by all this masterpiece I had seen ...
And believe me: This movie was open in theaters for more than two and a half months here in Brazil! (Only in one movie theater, but it is still amazing!)
Oh, and fortunately, this sequence was not banned here.
Somehow this story reminds me of Lost. A complex unusual mysterious story with no answer or point. Suffice it to say, my reaction to Lost is similar to Larry Gopnik's
@TheMaskedDonut LOL! I was thinking exactly the same thing. I'm a HUGE "Lost" fanboy, and this scene completely puts that entire series in perspective! When it comes to "Lost", I'm basically the Rabbi in this scene. Who cares about all the answers, it's the message and the content of the story that counts. :)
@Transformers217 I know what you mean, and it's not the fact that they don't answer some of those little questions. It's more sometimes the fact of either how many little and big questions went unanswered. I knew they couldn't answer all of them but they didn't even try. Not enough time to go into depth, but my biggest gripe is the flash-sideways universe. It was completely pointless, and makes all the actions on the island irrelevant since they all seem to be happy there anyway.
@TheMaskedDonut They didn't have to try to answer the questions, because people are smart enough to give their own answers, and fill in the gaps. Great art is usually ambiguous, and great will usually imitate life. And all the questions that we have about life, faith, and whatever, won't be entirely answered.
And the flash-sideways in Season 6 made their actions on the Island even more meaningful and emotionally impacting.
I remember in the theater that this sequence just blew me away! Absolutely one of coen's masterpiece! A movie in the movie! And with hendrix!!! The editing with the music, the directing, the narrating voice... such a great piece of cinema!! Jesus christ! Just love coen brothers! A serious man is one of their greatest movie! Pure genius!
This has got to be my all time favorite scene in any movie EVER. It just sums up the whole movie, and in a way, life, perfectly. Not to mention the way he deadpan delivers the last line "The goy? Who cares?".
You all probably know this, but Rabbi Nachtner is the same actor as Col. Sanders from Spaceballs. I thought that was hilarious

Goy: Non-Jewish person. Technically, in the Bible, anyone living outside of Israel, a foreigner.
Hasham: Literally “The name.” It’s how you say God when you’re not praying to him/her.

I don't think Scorsese could have done a better job.
Although it would be less Jewish.

@erniehead Exactly. I think it would be more Catholic than anything else. In Scorsese's movies (particularly Mean Streets), the main character will struggle with it.

**spoiler** Well, the film is very loosely based on The Book of Job from the Bible. In that particular Book, God appears to Job in the form of a whirlwind.

actually, gematria (numerical value) provided for HOSHIENI is deliberately placed incorrectly - in the movie we see 3, 7, 4, 9, 5, 4 which does not have sense in any numerical key. Plain gematria goes like this - 5, 6, 300, 10, 70, 50, 10 which is equal to 451 and to value of such words like "Ishmael" - "God hears", "Mokshe" - plot, snare, sth made difficult" and "Amiti" - "Truthful". Try making sense out of it, or "accept the mystery"

One of the most brilliant scenes of the Coen brothers' career!
It is absolutely my new favorite movie!
When I left the theater, I was absolutely fascinated and shocked by all this masterpiece I had seen ...
And believe me: This movie was open in theaters for more than two and a half months here in Brazil! (Only in one movie theater, but it is still amazing!)
Oh, and fortunately, this sequence was not banned here.

Somehow this story reminds me of Lost. A complex unusual mysterious story with no answer or point. Suffice it to say, my reaction to Lost is similar to Larry Gopnik's
TheMaskedDonut 1 year ago
@TheMaskedDonut LOL! I was thinking exactly the same thing. I'm a HUGE "Lost" fanboy, and this scene completely puts that entire series in perspective! When it comes to "Lost", I'm basically the Rabbi in this scene. Who cares about all the answers, it's the message and the content of the story that counts. :)

@Transformers217 I know what you mean, and it's not the fact that they don't answer some of those little questions. It's more sometimes the fact of either how many little and big questions went unanswered. I knew they couldn't answer all of them but they didn't even try. Not enough time to go into depth, but my biggest gripe is the flash-sideways universe. It was completely pointless, and makes all the actions on the island irrelevant since they all seem to be happy there anyway.
TheMaskedDonut 1 year ago
@TheMaskedDonut They didn't have to try to answer the questions, because people are smart enough to give their own answers, and fill in the gaps. Great art is usually ambiguous, and great will usually imitate life. And all the questions that we have about life, faith, and whatever, won't be entirely answered.
And the flash-sideways in Season 6 made their actions on the Island even more meaningful and emotionally impacting.

"He goes..."
I remember in the theater that this sequence just blew me away! Absolutely one of coen's masterpiece! A movie in the movie! And with hendrix!!! The editing with the music, the directing, the narrating voice... such a great piece of cinema!! Jesus christ! Just love coen brothers! A serious man is one of their greatest movie! Pure genius!

This has got to be my all time favorite scene in any movie EVER. It just sums up the whole movie, and in a way, life, perfectly. Not to mention the way he deadpan delivers the last line "The goy? Who cares?".
Thank you sooooo much for uploading!
