There is a pool of blood in my mouth from a bitten tongue.

Are we the products of chaos, chance, probability? Or an indifferent God?  Is there a master plan, a holy equation, a Mentaculus?  Can we not only understand but explain our existence?  Does the divine exist in suburbia? Is a cut just a way to change angles or scenes, or does a cut (a break in film) ironically mean a connection, a literal taping together of events to highlight their relationship and significance? Does humanity mean something?  Do the decisions we make steer our destiny?  Or are we merely spectators to the grand and catastrophic natural event called life? I don’t think the Coens know all the answers (definitely a few), but they know the right questions to ask.
