A Serious Man

I believe the passivity is the worst sin. There are people that never live, that just stay wile the life pass trough them. And Michel Stuhlbarg is that kind of person, doing nothing, no maters he crash into life he avoids it, he runs away from every opportunity to do something, to enjoy, to get angry, to request a title respect, to live. He lives in an eternal stay of just because, that he tries to understand, and off course can’t do it. He stays still, freeze by the fear, and only escapes to an active life I his dreams but even those always ends with fatal endings that deters him to do something in once awaken.  At the end his real life ends, as his dreams, with the promise of a fatal ending, but without the refreshing vital acts he dare to perform in dreams. Life ends no matter what, that’s a fact, so while we stay here is better to really use it. For me that’s A Serious Man about, and despite that’s one of my favourite themes, I really can’t stand the movie, it make me feel even physically bad, my wish that Michel reacted, and did something drove into a horrible frustration that made the movie really irritating and annoying for me. Nevertheless for anybody who can don’t feel empathy for the main character and let, and even enjoy, him getting destroyed by his passivity it could be a really good movie.
