didn’t get the Liam neeson story.

Was there more to it than that?

I thought the point was fairly straight forward. People would rather be entertained by a counting chicken than a great orator.

The whole movie was an inquiry into the meaning of life, with it’s fleeting successes, and the struggle against almost unbearable suffering.

The Coen’s films are as deep as you’re willing to dive. Notice the poems read by the quadriplegic orator in the Liam Neeson vignette, particularly Ozymandias.

It’s a fantastic film, IMO, and just as unique as you’ve come to expect from the Coens.

Did no one else like the story about the caravan of settlers with the young lady and the the cowboy trail hand?
