The wallpaper that keeps falling off is stained with thick pulp dripping from the end; the vulgar bottom people are accompanied by the thick water flowing from their ears. This room is like purgatory, hot and noisy; and all this is like a vision of Barton himself, maybe everything that happens in the room is his idea, just because he can't write the script Hollywood needs, as in the beginning As he said in the restaurant, he can only write what he thinks is "real success". In order to escape this predicament, Fatty appeared, that is, another self, and the source of the script he later wrote that was detested. .
Hollywood only needs scripts written according to a set pattern, not the unique ideas of writers; all it needs is the name Barton Fink, whether the script is written by him or someone else. And that's why his work was rejected, and that's why Bill managed to get into Hollywood.
In this way, the Hollywood model is indeed a factory that suppresses innovation, at least at that time, and it is the model that the French New Wave directors strongly opposed, so the rise of the film festival has nothing to do with the boringness of the Hollywood factory. .

Barton Fink quotes

  • Charlie Meadows: I pulled off early today. Took your advice, went to a doctor about this ear. He says "You have an ear infection, ten dollars please." So I says "I told you I had an ear infection, you give me ten dollars!" Well, that started an argument.

  • Chet: Welcome to Los Angleeees, Mr. Fink.
