Lamentations of a Literary Uncle

One of the movies I've watched recently that deserves a mention.

It's a lament, but it's actually quite funny. It's not as "artistic" as I thought, and the cold humor in it made me laugh several times.

Chinaski (the name is easy to remember: China Ski-_-) is an uncle who embraces literary ideals.

In addition to this ideal, all his pursuits are: tobacco, alcohol, women.

When he ran out of money, he gambled, and he gambled surprisingly well.

When he is not gambling, he also works, various miscellaneous work, but his colleagues and bosses are very upset with him - in order to maintain the initiative, he will be the first to upset the boss and colleagues.

See for yourself, this is life, life.

In addition, this film does not seem to have Chinese subtitles for the time being, but the lines in it are not too many and not difficult, and the voice of the male protagonist is magnetic... If I am half-hearted in English, I will deal with it with English subtitles.

Factotum quotes

  • Henry Chinaski: [voiceover] A poem is a city filled with streets and sewers. Filled with saints, heros, beggars, madmen. Filled with banality and booze. Filled with rain and thunder and periods of drought. A poem is a city of war. It's a barbershop filled with cynical drunks. A poem is a city. A poem is a nation. A poem is the world.

  • Henry Chinaski: [voiceover] And then I met Jan. I bought her a drink and she gave me her phone number. Three days later I moved into her apartment.
