Fantastic film, a precious American film, bringing together crime stories and social satire with fine characterization and massive imagery. Barton Fink can be said to be the most hated character in the movies I have seen in recent years. I admire the skills of the Coen brothers. He vividly portrays the image of a Confucian thief. Perfect. Such a wasteful literati who has no ability to live in society, lives in his own fantasy and performs his grand social responsibilities (praising his lustful working class and ordinary people), when confronted with (probably imagined) neighbor killer Charlie, he is exposed. Because he doesn't care about real social life, he only praises the sacrifice of ordinary people in fantasy and the great nature of Confucian thieves.
In drama, to provide cultural products for the sympathetic enjoyment of the upper class and the middle class, there must be compassion and praise for ordinary people. Through this kind of representative emotion and praise, the panic and emptiness of the petty bourgeoisie can be alleviated. Feeling that you have "completed your duty". Movies are popular art. To put it bluntly, most of the time, you just need to create routine garbage and feed it to the audience, instead of creating your Barton Fink Feeling from scratch, and move yourself in this artistic and spiritual creation. ——In the carnival dance of the navy at the end of the film, the clown Barton Fink's self-motivated self-confidence as a "creator" reached a climax. On the other hand, for the popular art of movies, don’t think that the reason why the audience is fed the rubbish of the routine is because the audience’s culture and mind are so low, but because the audience doesn’t believe it, everyone is here to have fun ——On the contrary, those who are obsessed with Barton Fink Feeling are actually the real mass-produced garbage in this world, as the studio boss said-he has more than 20 contract writers who can write such things casually.
What a brilliant phrase to give this thief culture an interesting master signifier—Barton Fink Feeling, the rant from the studio boss at the end, is an all-out war on this self-righteous rubbish writer. In more powerful words: You think the whole world revolves around whatever rattles inside your kike head? One of the essences of Confucianism thieves is to praise the sacrifices of others; one of the essences of Judaism is the coating culture of Confucianism and Mexicanism. Therefore, when Barton Fink, an incompetent Jewish waste, encounters people from all walks of life, his inner world sees them as strange images of various worldly evils.
In fact, it was never his nobleness that isolated the turbid world, but his hypocrisy that isolated him.
