ITT: We post /lit/-tier films and discuss them.

Pic very much related. How do those of you who have seen it interpret the final scene of Barton on the beach?

Barton Fink is not by a long shot the best Coen Bros. film but I love it for the little touches, like how they get you to just accept and believe that "wrestling picture" is an established genre.

As for the picture - well, it seems he achieved one of his dreams, but it turns out the literal realization of the dream is really nothing compared to what it represented (success, which Barton emphatically does not have).

Interesting interpretation. I always thought the final scene represented Barton becoming fully immersed in the low art that he hates as the picture always seemed to be something geared more towards the "common man."

Also, I'm interested in hearing your opinion on what the best Coen Bros. film is. I haven't seen all of their work so I'd like to know what to watch and what to skip.

As someone who loves Cowboy Bebop and isn't a big fan of anime, yes. It has an interesting history... It's kind of become the Star Wars of anime, in the over-merchandising and new films. The story about it's creation and the creator is equally as interesting as the result of it.

Watch the series, then straight to End of Evangelion. No Death & Rebirth (basically just the series summed up into a movie), and no rebuilds (see: Star Wars of anime).

Paul Verhoeven is our Shakespeare. Can you name a director who has come close to bridging the gap between plebs and patricians as well as Verhoeven?

>>7117092
Royal Space Force would be a better stop after Bebop and before Evangelion. It's a movie so the time investment isn't anywhere near as severe, it's got a good English dub if moonspeak still frightens you and it's made by the people who would go on to make Eva and shares a lot of themes so you can get a feel for what they were into.

>>7117245
Where's Intolerance? You can't talk about silent movies without Intolerance.

And one more thing, pic related is the greatest movie of all time.
