Another great piece of cinematic art delivered by the Coens Brothers. This is the kind of movie that can have multiple possibilities of interpretation because of the amount of symbolisms that it contains. It's great when I films keeps you thinking about what really happened and I took my own conclusion of the story but I believe that many others could have taken a different idea so I would be interested to hear what your interpretations might be... Did all of those things really happened to Barton? What did that last scene wanted to mean? Charlie really were a murderer? John Turturro and John Goodman performances were great!

I end up finding different meanings every time I watch “Barton Fink”, but there’s no doubt it’s above all about the inside of the head of a phony, pretentious, yet pathetically naive playwright as he stumbles into a writer’s block on his first job in Hollywood. The Hotel Earle seems to act as the unsettling theatre of the mind, where the character’s paranoia and delusions come to life. Nothing seems to make sense as you watch, but then you find yourself having spent a few hours thinking back at all symbolisms and possible interpretations.

It could be a nightmare when you're stucked and rapeed and you don't know how to get out. But it's far more worse if you have no chance escaping because your fate is in someone else's hands. Hungarian title is translated as _Nightmare in Hollywood_ and I don't think any other title could be given back better what we see on screen.

It's bizarre and eerie and it's ambiguity gives you a lot to dissect. I'm still not quite sure what it all means, but I liked it and look forward to watching it again to pick apart the meaning.

If you have been following my move reviews you have probably noticed that I am partial towards movies that don't end when the movie ends. The Coen Brothers seems to be great at making these kinds of movies - No Country For Old Men is a recent example of such a movie. It seems that the best attem More

It's OK. Looks good etc. Starts off fine. After a while Fink just seems another writer who can't write stereotype. Pacing around. Ranting about himself as a writer. Struggling to write a B movie. A B movie? If his ego was that big and his thoughts that strong he'd never have took the opp More
