Barton Fink is easily the best Coen Bros. movie

***********************Spoiler

I just finished the movie so while I haven't had time to think much about it, or read anything on it, I am pretty confused first:

Was the fat dude the devil? He said something to the effect of "Hail Hitler"?

Also was there really a head in the box? If so obviously the fat guy thinks its Barton's fault the wife is dead? Was it his fault because they made too much noise, or the fact that he didn't listen. Why did the fat guy save Barton.

Also since this is set in WWII, this movie obviously has some connections to that? Are the Coen brothers making a mockery of the army by making the head of Paramount pictures a captain---I seriously doubt that

Can something be said to the fact that Barton was always thinking and never acting? For example when the husband hit his wife, or the two cops were getting shot.

pretty much every time I think of particular scenes of the movie I get incredibly confused, by what it was trying to say

Maybe according to them thinking about life = bad, so maybe I shouldn't think about it and just enjoy it.

so I'm still confused about some stuff, but this website did a good job describing what Charlie symbolically means....really interesting stuff http://www.coenbrothers.net/viewer.html

      shough vs tmac off rookie of the year

      By CRA · Posted

      in starts, he has played better, been more efficient and outproduced Bryce by virtually every statistical metric that exists in 2025.  And has the 2 head to heads over Carolina.  I mean, your jaw should hit the floor.  But not for the reason you are implying.  That freaking stings.  Denying these realities isn't going to help the Panthers build a better team going forward.

      He is basically having a polar opposite rookie season than Bryce. 4-3 as a starter on a very bad team.  68% for 237 passing yards and 19 rush per game. 9 TDs,  6 TOs in his starts.  and folks acknowledge the surprisingly play because no one thought poo of the random 2nd rounder and he is player better as a rookie thus far than so many prized picks did as a rookies (not just Bryce but a boatload of dudes).   It's only a sour issue to give someone props because he is a Saint and of course the Bryce thing.  It's like giving the TE in Clev props for having near identical production as the chosen one Tyler Warren.  Fannin is having a great rookie season in a very bad spot.

      This is a very weird take. The reason Shough doesn't deserve it is because he's only started 7 games. He's doing crazy well for a rookie and out playing plenty of vets with a worse roster. He's waaay above league average in a number of categories during his starts and he passes the eye test in game by making plays. Meanwhile Bryce Young had one of the worst rookie seasons of all time. Still TMac deserves it more. It's only been 7 games for Shough so he doesn't deserve any awards. Even if he gets to 9 he doesn't.
