Considering the character you're referring to is Christian & the directors are Jewish, no. It's not.

Well, that will make me see your theory in a whole nother light.

What did you expect with that first post of yours?

Um... an intelligent response?

Your reference is too vague, and the directors religion means nothing.

I agree with the good doctor,

Bunuel was an atheist but he made the Milky Way, one of the most religious films of all. The themes of the movie is not limited to the director's faith.

And judging by a Serious Man they obviously didn't have a good experience with Judaism anyway.

Well, thank you. I'm willing to admit that I'm wrong when presented with actual evidence other than "you're stupid."

Umm ... Bob Dylan was/is Jewish. It never stopped him from being Christian, or from making some deeply Christian albums.

Other famous Jews include Jesus Christ, Saint Paul, and all 12 of the apostles.

It also may be worth mentioning that one of the Coen brothers is married to the daughter of a Christian minister.
