In the nearly two hours of the film, I saw countless numbers and heard countless "Barton Funk" and called me "Barton".
Because everyone is Barton Fink, or everyone the Coen brothers presents is Barton Fink. This is an attitude, a collective term for a creative group under the Great Depression in the United States, a group that is undervalued but yearns for attention and recognition.
Barton Fink, was ridiculed as a name unique to the Jews. Jews were mocked as "Long live Hitler",...

The word used in the film mentioned in the film is picture. A picture on the hotel wall appears many times. At the end, the scene the screenwriter saw on the beach echoes the picture on the wall, which is a metaphor for the relationship between drama and life.
At the beginning, the screenwriter expressed his interest in ordinary people and his disdain for celebrities. However, his attitude towards the two ordinary people he met in the hotel was not proactive. Instead, it was the...

Surreal fantasy theme masterpiece
This work, in a sense, is more Lynch-like, full of fantasy and dream, and the boundary between reality and reality is so blurred that it is impossible to clearly distinguish which scene is reality and where. It's a dream. However, logically speaking, it is still possible to distinguish between reality and dream.
This movie is very similar to Lynch's "Mulholland Drive". It tells the story of a young man who came to Hollywood with a dream, how his dream was broken in the end, and then...

The struggle between ideal and reality
Started by the writer checking into the hotel. First of all, the style of the hotel is quite strange. The front desk who came out of the basement, strangely, there were only two staff members in this hotel from beginning to end, one of them was the front desk Chet, and the other was the old Peter who drove the elevator. At the beginning of the film, Chet asks the writer a question: Is this all your luggage? Writer's Answer: Others are on the way. What makes people feel strange is that, from the...

I can't write a short review, so I wrote a review....
After watching the whole film, the most normal thing is to be Jack, the boss of the film company who speaks very fast and can do anything.
When Mount stepped on the raging fire, it was really enjoyable.
However, I have been thinking about how interesting it would be if the paper was due tomorrow, and tonight I was desperately rushing for the paper until I fainted, and woke up to find a bloody corpse around me.

Reality and fantasy, strange atmosphere, very different works of the Coen brothers, express the pain in the writer's heart through virtual...

Talented. The main character is very good~ Use the language of the camera to express the emotions of the black hole, the sink, the sewer, and the corridor of the horn hotel. The original box represents creative inspiration. . . I can hear...

Tied with Shadow Tycoon as my least favorite Coen Brothers movie. When it comes to storytelling, the Coen brothers are good at it; when it comes to metaphors and imagery, forget...

Polanski only discovered his Palme d'Or at the end. The illusory reality of Chaos One is implicit and strongly narrative, and this deliberate fuzziness is very advanced. The hotel is a brain, a cramped creative space, and the murals are exactly the same as the woman by the sea. An instantaneous imagination of the creator, what is in the...

The Coen Brothers actually made a film like this. The writer's dilemma should be said of all the creators' dilemma. The simple scene is very...
Chet: Are you a trans or a res?
Barton Fink: Excuse me?
Chet: Transient or resident?
Barton Fink: Oh, I don't know. I'll be here indefinitely.
Chet: Res. That'll be $25.50 a week payable in advance. Checkout time is twelve sharp, but you can forget about that on account of you're a res. Now if you need anything, anything at all, just pick up your personal in-room telephone and talk to me. My name is Chet. Although we do provide privacy for the residential guests, we are also a full-service hotel including complementary shoeshine. My name is Chet.
[writes his name on a slip of paper in capital letters with an exclamation point and passes it to Barton]
Barton Fink: Thanks...
Jack Lipnick: I run this dump, and I don't know the technical mumbo-jumbo. Why do I run it? Cause I got horse sense goddamit, SHOWMANSHIP! And also I hope Lou told you this, I am bigger and meaner and louder than any other kike in this town. Did you tell him that Lou? And I don't mean my dick is bigger than yours, it's not a sexual thing. You're a writer, you know more about that. Coffee?
Charlie Meadows: I sure do forget myself sometimes.
