Barton Fink 2/22/12

   Dialogue contined to be discussed. We watched clips from Barton Fink. In the film John Turturro plays the title character who happens to be a writer. In the clips we viewed he interacted with Charlie Meadows (John Goodman).  Barton says to Charlie that he wants to write a picture about everyday people and their struggles etc., etc., etc. However, when Charlie informs him that he has stories he could tell Barton steamrolls over him and continues to talk about his struggles. We can tell through the dialogue that Barton looks down upon Charlie and his job as an insurance agent.


    In another scene we see the interaction between Barton and the producer for his upcoming film Ben Geisler. From their interaction we find that Geisler could care less about Barton's creativity and is only concerned with making money.
