Maybe the world in the eyes of everyone is different, maybe I was too impatient, trying to understand the intention of the work after watching the movie once. But in any case, at this moment I have doubts about the effectiveness of this form of communication in movies. Sometimes, instead of dispelling our doubts about life, movies make us more confused. But is this the beauty of the movie? "Do you still think that the truth of this world can be revealed by your poor head?" It seems that my poor head is not good enough.
Fink is a victim of the Hollywood movie model, but, Coen brothers, don't you think it's also a barton fink? Create something esoteric. Do you think your works will bring any inspiration to people's lives? I tell you, your stuff is like rubbish and worthless! It's just an unanswered puzzle that consumes the audience's brain power infinitely.
Let's start with destiny! The seemingly normal neighbor turned out to be a murderer, and finally he fatefully walked back to his own room that was already on fire;
Fink fatefully walked into a room with a photo of a bikini girl looking out at the sea, and finally confirmed it in reality Why is this scene so fateful!
Jews are destined to be slaughtered? The tenant of 623 actually shouted out when he killed the police, "Cough, Hitler, I don't know why, it's a sign that the Second World War is about to begin?" The beginning of the tragic fate of the Jews? Or some kind of ritual I don't know about. There is also the producer, who in the end put on his military uniform hilariously and turned into a colonel, everything seemed to be a dream.
Why the scene of the sea hitting the reef is repeated twice, I think it is to increase a kind of conflict, I really can't say anything else.
The bikini girl who appeared at the end is in sharp contrast to the previous plot. Words are as simple as white paper, as if they are not the language of this world, so simple and beautiful, it is the most missing thing in this fink world. Maybe it all came from fink's heart, or maybe this scene only happened in fink's mind, and nothing happened. Fink said "I'm going to tell you something beautiful" What is a beautiful thing? I believe there is no problem with fink's aesthetics, but the world does not need the beauty in fink's eyes, the world insists on its own ideas, and they do not need the opinions of others.
Regarding that box, I think it contained a human head. Human heads are cruel things. But I prefer to think of it as a black box, like the brain, and this is where the Coen brothers are great. What you think is in it is what it is. After all, isn't the human brain also a black box? Humans receive information from the outside world, pass through the black box of the brain, output, and what happened in the black box, at least so far, humans have not been able to fully understand.
whose box is this? Fink's answer is, I don't know, it's obviously not my own, why answer I don't know? All I know is that after the tenant of 623 gave the box to fink, fink started thinking about it, and wrote the article in one breath, and he thought it was his best work. For fink, 623 gave him hope and a reliable relationship. So what 623 said, he believed. By the way, there is hope in the box. It belongs to fink's own hope. I didn't see that fink would carry that box wherever he went. It was his box and his own hope.
Everything about the confined space, this suffocating hotel, is weird, and what's more weird than an old man in an elevator who hasn't read the Bible? Degummed wallpaper, the gorgeous appearance hides decay, this seems to be mentioned by many film critics, I don't want to deny it here, I just wonder why the hotel doesn't want to do something, where is the duty of the maintainer? It is the system, this is the Hollywood-style system, it can only be tinkered, not completely changed, and the feeling of the flow of air when the door is opened and closed is even more suffocating.
Regarding mosquitoes, I prefer what he wants to be a cruel reality. They suck away your dreams and destroy your will. When you slap you down, you will finally break your own will.
