It seems you are under the unfortunate impression that Jews are immune from run of the mill buffoonery, lust, depression,drug use, a penchant for petty thievery, adultery and all the other sins that non-Jewish adults and teenagers engage in. So, anyone who makes a movie showing Jews engaging in these things is making Nazi propaganda films? How naive.<br /><br />This movie is a reflection of the Coen brothers' environment growing up in the Midwest in the 60's. It might not be a picture you enjoy looking at, but who are you to declare that this is what Jews were "NOT" in their Jewish community growing up? In my suburban Connecticut Orthoodxy community growing up in the 80's, there were plenty of drug and sex scandals to fill more than one movie.<br /><br />Alternatively, why are the Coen brothers obligated to make a film that exactly reflects "real life"? (Whatever that is) Or why are they obligated to make a film that adheres to your definition of real Jewish life?<br /><br />None of the Coen brothers' films have ever exactly reflected "real life", so I'm not sure why they are required to start now.Commenter Abbihttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07753256568022159103noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-24229062.post-20162218725034854512009-10-24T10:21:03.555-06:002009-10-24T10:21:03.555-06:00Interesting, and ironically, its ad was just broad...Interesting, and ironically, its ad was just broadcast on your radio!<br />I only see old movies I can buy for a few bucks. but I'll have to see the new Woodstock movie, since we have a relative acting in it.Batyahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09402874037427009327noreply@blogger.com
