The protagonist, Llewyn Davis, floats in New York for art (or for life), so poor that he even needs to rub around where he sleeps at night. The Coen brothers don't bring us a story about the rebirth of a salted fish, but uncompromisingly show the life of a standard loser: when the protagonist is finally desperate to go back to being a sailor, he sadly discovers that his first mate's license is also It was unfortunately thrown away, and he couldn't even pay for a replacement. The end of the film echoes the beginning, because the night before last night, she taunted a female singer who was singing on stage, and she was beaten up by her husband. He was slumped in the corner with a helpless face. The film is over, but life goes on, leaving us with the question: where is the protagonist going?
Compared with the normal life of ordinary people, those who pursue art must live in another world. Although the drifting life has no fixed place, they have become accustomed to this state. Maybe this kind of life can give them a creative inspiration. Who has a better quality of life, we who stick to the rules, or they who are fickle, who knows?
The movie can tell the story of the protagonist so fascinating, and what I like most is that the whole plot is not conventional, there is no fairy tale innocence, only cruel and real reality.
