      2. There's a recurring scene in Coen bros. movies where we have an extended shot of a door & are meant to wonder what's on other side.

      @HeerJeet Sometimes the characters do too. e.g. Chad hiding in the closet in Burn After Reading. And look what happens to him!

      13. I could go on. Trust me, I could go on. But we have enough examples to establish that doors are crucial motif in Coen Bros movies. Why?

          14. Doors in these films are an example of threatening liminality, the fragility of the social space protecting us from evil.

          @HeerJeet sorry, is "why is a metaphor" a rhetorical question? Or seriously missing Levitical law fascination w/ liminal areas/boundaries?
