From the appearance point of view, the whole film does not break away from the traditional one-way linear narrative, and even the story told throughout is very simple and clear-"Whether the ambitious playwright Patton can complete a B-level film about freestyle wrestling script". Under the "coat" of a classic Hollywood type of film, its core is a surreal noir film.
As Barton, who is observing the woman in the painting, is pushed "outside the picture" by the camera, the story begins to blend dream and reality without a clear dividing line. In the dream, the rude fat salesman represents Patton's subconscious id, not only listening to the superego - Patton in the dream, talking about art creation in obscure language, and even killing the revealing genre film A screenwriter's assistant for creating ciphers. In reality, Barton drew inspiration from the head in the illusion and completed what he thought was the best script, but was spurned by Hollywood.
The mixture of dreams and reality contains various plot conflicts, large and small, and each conflict cannot be explained and smoothed with the usual logic, so this film is a typical anti-three-stage film structure. The film uses a large number of panning and sliding shots, and the scene arrangement and guiding sound effects bring out the strange atmosphere of the story.
With this film, the Coen brothers show audiences how a writer can wrestle with himself and throw himself into the pit, while also satirizing all the filmmakers who survived in the classic Hollywood production model - pretentious money requires cunning Full of crap and yelling?
