Llewyn sets in motion his own misfortune, many disasters in the protagonist's life are forged by himself, and he shoots himself in the foot, and his life finally turns into an endless cycle of doom. Not only did he cause his own troubles, but also brought various misfortunes to others, and cut off all layers of relationships. Everything was absurd.
Llewyn sets in motion his own misfortune.
Many disasters in the protagonist's life are forged by himself, and he shoots himself in the foot, and his life finally turns into an endless cycle of doom. Not only did he cause his own troubles, but also brought various misfortunes to others, and cut off all layers of relationships. Everything was absurd.
1. I needed money to have an abortion after I slept with someone else’s girlfriend. When I arrived at the gynecology department, I found that I didn’t need any money at all (because the woman who had an abortion last time released a pigeon, and he also found out that he had a child), but he gave up the royalties because he needed money urgently. The song in the movie implies that it will become a popular song, and if you sign the royalties, you can get a lot of money. Finally, back to the beginning, the bar performed alone, with no money in hand.
2. I lost my friend's cat because of carelessness. I tried every means to get him back. I found a wild cat and sent it back, but it was found to be another cat, which angered my friend and his wife. On the way to Chicago, I abandoned the fake cat again. The night back in New York implies that I ran into the cat again. The blood on the bumper of the car implies that the cat might have been killed. Finally, I found that my friend's cat came home by himself. In the end, it went back to the beginning, the bar was performing alone, and there was still no money in hand.
3. There is no hope in his career. After his partner committed suicide, he released a solo album and sent an album to Bud Grossman in Chicago. Finally, he went to Chicago to find Bud only to find that he did not receive the album at all. Bud gave him another chance to live. After performing, he said that his music had no commercial value (Bud suggested that he form a band, but Bud didn't know that he was a duo, and the Columbia record company he recorded with Jim was also a trio, but he didn't intend to insult Jim, and he didn't sign royalties), rejected him. In the end, it went back to the beginning, the bar was performing alone, and there was still no money in hand. The night of the Gaslight Cafe performance, people from the New York Times came to listen to the song (a metaphor for Robert Shelton, the New York Times music critic who discovered Dylan), and finally played a moving performance and was robbed by Dylan, but it still failed to become popular (I personal guess).
4. After deciding to give up music, he chose to go to sea. Before going to sea, he paid the last $148 because he had to make up the union dues. When he got home, he found that his family had thrown away the helmsman's license that he needed to go to sea. Throwing it away, he burned his own way, and fate brought him back to the music scene again. In the end, it went back to the beginning, the bar was performing alone, and there was still no money in hand.
What I wanted to say at the end of the review was that Llewyn had screwed up relationships with almost everyone in his life, Jim, Jean, the agent, father, sister/sister, professor and his wife, bar owner, etc. Although some relationships eventually healed, But Llewyn ultimately couldn't escape his character and outlook on life. Of course, Llewyn also has characteristics worthy of praise. He can live in the moment, he is opposed to becoming a speculative careerist, he is opposed to selling his soul to a big record company pursuing capital, and he is constantly fighting for his own music and dreams. It is undeniable that his talent, in the midst of his pain, still creates and plays very beautiful and moving music that captures his mood at the time.
No zuo no die.
