Barton Fink
Madalyn 2022-04-18 17:34:52
A man moves from New York to Hollywood hoping to make it as a film writer, Barton Fink as a whole is a satire to the notion of artistic creations. While writers in the story like Fink and Mayhew claims themselves to be artists and understanding of the struggles and glories of the everyday people, it is satisfying to watch how little they actually understand these concepts. With the paper thin walls of the hotel, it is perhaps not surprising for characters like Charlie to be enraged by their feigned sincerity, and for their abrupt and forced intrusion into their lives. Ultimately it is not this understanding that sells in the box office, but a much simpler method that could be achieved only by everyday people. What Barton Fink experienced was not a writer's block,but the inability to construct a simple story which his complex mind could not conjure. A beautiful premise behind a gorgeous film, but the film overall is really hard to fully apprehend as I am still left puzzled by several motifs and symbols.

As an intellectual writer, he would think of being compassionate and caring and defend the purity of his creation, so he would destroy the purity of two people and die, but he had no concern at all in his heart; he would also want to maintain the artistry of his work, but he also wanted to achieve vulgarity and vulgarity. Recognition of the general public, including the sponsors. In order to be self-consistent, you can only drive yourself crazy, but not completely crazy. You need the kind of madness that travels through the virtual and reality, or come to purgatory to seek Nirvana.

Look at John Turturro's sluggishness, then look at the greasy "sultry" that fills the screen with impatience; look at the cool seaside girl in the hanging paintings, and then look at the absurdity of the corridor chasing Charlie's "fighting" fire. The strange contrast of this back and forth, the giant sandwiches layered between reality and imagination, probably not everyone bites down, it is expected that there is so much. #How many people were deceived by this film to be a screenwriter#
