The style is a bit similar to Quentin, creating conflict, suspense and a bit of humor, which makes people feel addicted, a feeling that breaks people's inertial cognition, for example, the great writer is actually an alcoholic and his works are all written by that woman, such as When Barton thought the studio owner wanted him to be angry but he was actually angry with his assistant, he ended up kissing Barton's foot, like when Charlie finally pretended to surrender but took a rifle out of his bag and killed the police. Everyone has very distinct characteristics, and the language has a very style. The main conflict is that Patton can't write the script about wrestling and the boss expects so much from him that he has made progress.
It can be said that this film is a satire on Hollywood, which has completely abandoned the so-called art in pursuit of capital return and box office. But further speaking, it is a satire on playwrights like Patton. The biggest irony is that Patton keeps saying that he pays attention to the stories and lives of ordinary people, but when Charlie has said many times that he has stories, Patton always puts Charlie interrupted and continued his metaphysical speech. Barton doesn't really want to hear the stories of ordinary people, at worst he is just showing off his superiority to Hollywood in the name of ordinary people. He kept talking about A new theater, a theater for ordinary people, but the underground audience was still people in tuxedos, not the general public. A new theater is like, for example, a genre of art, a modern genre, it may be about the masses, but it is never written for the masses. In the end, the Hollywood boss kept some truth. He knew that he just wanted large men in tights, that he wanted to make money, and he expressed his own ideas unabashedly.
