20: Barton Fink (1991) [Joel & Ethan Coen] “I will show you - TopicsExpress



          

20: Barton Fink (1991) [Joel & Ethan Coen] “I will show you the life of the mind!” This is the thesis of this film. The main character, Barton Fink is a renowned playwrite in new york city. He gets recruited to start writing screenplays for the budding film industry in hollywood in the 1930s. I have never seen a better representation of writer’s block in a movie in my entire life. This movie is swimming with under the surface themes and ideas. Overall this is a dark and dry comedy about this writer trying to come up with the idea for his first film (which he is told needs to be a wrestling picture). As always the Coen Brothers deliver many colorful supporting characters as well as many interesting thematic questions. What was in the box?
