I find it funny that they capture that "Lynchian" uncaninnes without falling into the whole performative>LOOK AT HOW SURREALISTIC I'M BEINGthing that Lynch often does -- you're never thrown out of the film
Needs more John Goodman.
>>215085839it's an anti-semitic picture
>>215085839isn't it just taking a piss at fart sniffing
I just made a thread yesterday about how this movies is lynch. Are we all watching the same free movies added to youtube?
>>215085839you know, I never drew the Lynch-Coen brothers connection before.Both have open ended narratives with heavy emphasis and dreamy surreality.Their films say a lot without saying anything too specific (most of the time, it's a well told shaggy dog story).
>>215085839Idk I found it easy to understand, to its credit
>>215085839Look around this dump. You're just a tourist with a cell phone. I live here. Don't you understand that? And you come onto my board...and you complain that I'm "shitposting."
>>215086528Why does he say heil hitler at the end? That made me laugh. entertaining film
>>215086565He's Barton's worst nightmare and Barton is a Jew. Pretty simple.
>>215086565I think it's just a nod to the two detectives both being german and italian (axis)
I never read anything about it but the movie seems a very deliberate Lynch homage by the Coens. They even do the Lynch thing where halfway through the movie the camera goes inside a hole and from that point on we're in nightmare land.
>>215086606I dont know he seemed like a cool guy
>>215085839I love the setting of this movie, that hotel is so memorably miserable. I don't think I understand the ending
>>215085839I love this film but the Blu-Rays all look pretty grotty today. A 4K restoration would be in order.
>>215085839>vaguely Eraserhead hairdoNaval-gazing nebbish nerds practicing civilizational stolen valor, laundering mass entertainment as 'high art' . . . it's black satire. Films like Babylon self-sucking the industry pale in comparison to The Wizard of Oz.
>>215086916it's one of those terribly early bluray releases where I'm not even sure it's a proper remaster, they used like dvd remasters and just upscaled them.Lebowski was the same, the first release of that bluray looked terrible.
>>215085839>inscrutable Not at all. What's hard to understand about it? It's a simple flick that was written in two weeks while they had writer's block during Miller's Crossing, arguably their best.Uppity writer thinks he understands the people but he's up his own ass. Sure there are some surreal elements but the story is straight forward.
>>215087016The old Blu is badly cropped and sharpened to death, but I prefer its overall look/colors over the Kino Lorber disc which must be some sort of flat transfer, looks like a TV movie.https://caps-a-holic.com/c.php?go=1&a=0&d1=15297&d2=15296&s1=160469&s2=160466&i=1&l=0Barton would look majestic if properly presented, but it seems to be somewhat forgotten these days, at least in the Coen oeuvre.
>>215086517>>215087090if you think "neurotic self-fellating jew fails to write a film" is the only thing this is about, i have bad news for you
>>215085839Looks like an Eraser ripoff.
>>215087337Give me the bad news. I can take it. I can take it real hard.
>>215086517you're supposed to say "I could scrute it"
