I Saw A Serious Man Tonight ...

And I don't know what to think.  At first I hated the ending just because it abruptly stopped; the same thing happened at the end of No Country For Old Men, and I hated that.  But after thinking about the protagonist being told by his doctor to see him ASAP and the son looking at the tornado coming towards him, I'm beginning to think that A Serious Man is just the Coen Brothers telling a story about a man who has good and bad things happen to him for no reason at all.  It's not a conventional story, but I'm starting to think it's a good one.
