A Serious Man - Most profound scene

I think this is one of the most profound scenes in the film. The moment when Larry asks that question, it's priceless...

The rabbi is played by the same actor who played Colonel Sanders in Spaceballs.

@ravi00090 You're wrong. Science doesn't tackle metaphysical questions. You say you don't blindly follow dogma, but you certainly are. You make assertions "there is absolutely no basis of moratliy in scriptures or religion" which have no founding accept emotions. So, you are exactly what you mock. But you don't see it, why? Because you're fundamentally wedded to a particular dogma. Assertions with alot of blind passion are not arguments.

[jorgekluney]

@ravi00090 Not at all. You're making broad generalizations with respects to metaphysical realities simply off the fact that you can't shoe horn those views into a scientific method. Because there is the lack of fit you make bold claims regarding the ontological nature of those beliefs... which is dogmatic of you. You can think it's making "quick judgments", but it is what it is.

[ravi00090]

@jorgekluney You're quick to make judgments, aren't you? I already stated that i do not think we know everything or we know any absolute reality, didn't even imply that an absolute reality can be known. You are the one who seems to be dogmatic.

@jorgekluney . Watch again. The Rabbis makes that statement I(it is actually "The goy? Who cares") immediately after the place where this clip ends and it concludes the scene. Check it out on youtube. How could you see this movie and not hear that? Did you watch it somewhere where it may have been censored out?

[ravi00090]

@jorgekluney Easier to say. More and more scientific research is only going on to prove that there is absolutely no basis of morality in scriptures or religion. That even genetics can predispose a person to being aggressive and feeling less empathy towards others. Yes, I can't accept that there is any divine plan. It is a cop-out to evade legit questions and was created by people who didn't know any better. I do not claim to have any answers as well. But religion certainly isnt it.

[jorgekluney]

@Uncle99B Unless that's in another scene.... I haven't seen this movie, only this scene and I don't hear him saying that.

[Uncle99B]

@jorgekluney . "The Goyim?. Who cares".

[jorgekluney]

@Uncle99B How does this scene show he's a racist buffoon?

[jorgekluney]

@ravi00090 But wait, can't we say the same about you? It's not that there's no purpose to life you just, personally, don't like authority. You find comfort in the fact that life is purely subjective with respects to meaning.... maybe it's not that way, but you find comfort in it. It scares you that there might be a wrong and right way to do something, so you find solace in uncertainty because you can't accept that there very well could be a divine plan for you.

@ravi00090 But doesn't looking for answers means you're willing to submit to dogma? If you're willing to admit that there are indeed answers to questions you seek then wouldn't that mean there are indeed certain things that are and maybe should be dogmatic? Because you want the answers to be real. So, the "non-conformity" cry is a bit off. You can't have an inherent problem with dogma if you're willing to accept that actual, real, true answers exist.
