    The same pace as in the past made me feel heavy and tired. I drooped my head and chewed the grains of rice knowing that I was acting depressed, and there was a camera in front of me, which was my self-consolation for not changing my ridiculous appearance. Suddenly wanting to go home, I took out my phone and called a friend's number, looking forward to giving myself a determination. After a long busy tone, it hangs up without waiting for the artificial voice. of and about and for. It's your own...

    An incisive interpretation of surrealism, the most intuitive display of the Coen brothers' dark humorous style, full of metaphors and elaborate layouts like a stage play....

    4.5. Regarding the dilemma of creation, it is no longer just a crude "can't write" or "lack of inspiration", because the film has further concretized it after turning it into an illusion. Of course, the decipherability of the film does not stop there. In the alternation of reality and reality, human nature turns inward, and it turns out that it can force out a driving force similar to the outside. Whether it is split or fantasy, wrestling with the soul is a lifetime....

    There is a deep self-repression everywhere in the film, and neurotic plots are constantly bursting out of the repression, control and unrestrained, treacherous stretch, the best work of the Coen brothers,...

    Black is not humorous, and the small theater in the writer's brain is really different from ordinary people. The Coen brothers are satirizing Hollywood. The fire that burned the hotel was amazing, let you see my inner world! Do you think you understand my...

    The implicit editing blurs the boundaries between reality and fantasy, and the audience vaguely realizes that those surreal scenes can only come from the fantasy of the playwright, but they are as powerless as the protagonist in the play to distinguish between fantasy in reality or reality in fantasy. Like all Coen-labeled films, this one is filled with references to history, cinema, and culture: Fink and Mayer's archetypes are in many ways the same as life-forced to Hollywood to write and not...

    Conventional narratives, homicides, dreams, split personalities? But at the end, I found out that this is a playwright's spiritual world, self-monologue, and a nightmare that the writer's own universal concept can't meet the market and can't wake up due to the difficulty of creation! Very absurd, psychedelic, and Cohen! That shot of the hallway extending always reminds me of The...

    I love the claustrophobic feel of this film so much, the scene of an empty corridor slowly moves backwards, and the transition is either shady or fades in and out. Maybe like the opening line of Barton Fink's script, "Fade in," Fink dives into his script and I dive into the depths of his...

    21 This is a movie that needs to be read in various reviews. Too many metaphors confuse my mind (personally, the fight club-style explanation is the...

  • W.P. Mayhew: I close my eyes I can almost smell the live oak.

    Audrey Taylor: That's chicken fat, Bill.

    W.P. Mayhew: Well, my olfactory's turning womanish on me; lying and deceitful.

  • W.P. Mayhew: Me I just enjoy making things up. Yessah escape. Its when I can't write I can't escape myself, I want to rip my head off and run screaming down the street with my balls in a fruit pickers pail.
