Barton Fink going from Broadway to Hollywood is like the Coens trying to work out of their niche community of film enthusiasts to a bigger budget project, they'll never be really representing the common man because they aren't the common man. The critical acclaim is affirming the fact that sometimes even the Coen brothers don't know what they are doing, and by just being abstract, and abstract alone, you can succeed in filmmaking, but you'll never be a commercial hit.

AKA, a wrestling movie with no wrestling scene. I think its a joke personally between the Coen brothers, saying how much random artsy crap can we put into this movie that describes what happens when you have writer's block and no desire to do something conventional. The entire movie is about the consumption of complicated art just as much as it is about its creation. The only theory I think makes this a good movie is: What is this supposed to represent? What is real and what isn't? Why should we care about anything occurring in the plot at all if we have no idea? Is Barton Fink going insane? He clearly is having breaks in reality.The woman at the end on the beach striking the identical pose as the picture in his hotel room.A package not expressly owned by anyone and we are not told the contents of mysteriously allows for Barton to break his writer's block.

A woman dies in Barton's bed for seemingly no reason.These are things that happen in the movie with zero explanation, and also zero clues to why they occur that could even lead you to a theory: This movie does not fundamentally work as symbolism with pretty much any conventional theory you force onto it. Basically saying, I don't understand it either, but I know I am supposed to pretend I do cus I KNOW movies. Watched Barton Fink last night and watched again tonight, personally discussions of this film online are extremely disappointing.Īll analysis I have seen for this movie basically says: "well theres a lot you can take from it, its really genius." "So many interpretations to draw from it, I think its their most brilliant work." No one can explain even a cohesive theory for the movie, but everyone knows its a masterpiece apparently.
