the main problem with barton fink be that nothing really happen . it never manage to lift itself above the averageness present from the start . writer block be not a very interesting subject and a it just a man sit around think about what to write . i be actually suffer from writer block right now and try to think of something to say about this film . i be not really sure what it be try to show and why it be think of a a good film . the whole thing be a bit stupid and sometimes it felt like watch paint dry . i be not a massive coen fan so this film do not appeal to me a it do to many other people . have say that and i do not really see the appeal a it be a very bland storyline . john turturro never seem to change and i have never be impress by any of his performance . i do not actually realise this film be a comedy until afterwards so it obviously wasn not very funny . the idea of show hollywood wouldarker side be a concept it try to use but do not manage it very well . mulholland drive ( 2001 ) use this concept much more effectively . speaking of mulholland drive and i notice mr fink flaunt a hairstyle that be most definitely copy from somewhere a famous david lynch film while i would not spell it out to you . anyone that love the coen brother will probably like this film and but it might seem a bit boring to anybody else . so there you go and it look like i have manage to squeeze out a paragraph and which be more than barton fink manage to do .
