peer agreement (net): +4looking at things from a more objective viewpoint Explanation: getting some perspective on something has the meaning of putting some distance (time and/or space) between you and the item being pondered so you can get an objective rather than subjective view ------------------------------------------ Note added at 11 mins (2019-02-03 17:56:30 GMT) -------------------------------------------------- https://www.psychologytoday.com/intl/blog/science-choice/201... https://forum.wordreference.com/threads/get-perspective-on.2... -------------------------------------------------- Note added at 45 mins (2019-02-03 18:30:18 GMT) -------------------------------------------------- "Right—Jews in a shtetl" =quite normal, or to be expected in such a location "...the prairie in Minnesota and you kind of think..." (with new perspective/looking at it from a different angle) " ..What are we doing there?’ It just seems odd" -------------------------------------------------- Note added at 1 hr (2019-02-03 19:27:50 GMT) -------------------------------------------------- They think it's quite "odd", like "Jews in space" now (in hindsight). They are Jewish but with an art historian mother and economist father and grwing up in a mid-western suburb (of Mineapolis) they are not typical Orthodox Jews from a sthetl ------------------------------------------------- Note added at 1 hr (2019-02-03 19:35:56 GMT) -------------------------------------------------- "Minnesota was not the most natural or obvious place for Jews to settle" "we kind of think....‘What are we doing there? the 2nd "we" I think could be Jews in general rather than the 1st "we"= the Coen brothers The Coens are renowned for setting up slightly surreal situations in their movies but it turns out theor own home place was a bit surreal with lots of Jews living in a prairie town. However, a sthetl in a prairie is definitely odd and a bit fantasy. Joel Coen has said: "In regards to whether our background influences our film making ... who knows? We don't think about it ... There's no doubt that our Jewish heritage affects how we see things." ----------------------------------------------- Note added at 2 hrs (2019-02-03 19:54:41 GMT) -------------------------------------------------- MOVE OUT This WAS their own hometown, a suburb of Minneapolis. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/St._Louis_Park,_Minnesota "The city has a relatively high Jewish population, and is home to the Sabes Jewish Community Center and several synagogues including Beth El Synagogue and Kenesseth Israel Congregation. It is estimated that around 38% of Jews in the greater Minneapolis area live in Saint Louis Park. Due, in part, to mass immigration from former-Soviet states, Saint Louis Park has a large Russian population around its Aquila area. The Russian language is the second most spoken language in the city after English, and the Hennepin County Library's St. Louis Park location has an extensive Russian language section. So yes, after they moved OUT of their home place (they live in NYC) and from that different perspective, they realised how odd it was that all these Jews lived in a prairie town. -------------------------------------------------- Note added at 2 hrs (2019-02-03 20:09:26 GMT) -------------------------------------------------- I posted this simpler version as the other one was quite confusing! -------------------------------------------------- Note added at 1 day 3 hrs (2019-02-04 21:09:34 GMT) Post-grading -------------------------------------------------- Glad to have finally got there! |
