I end up finding different meanings every time I watch “Barton Fink”, but there’s no doubt it’s above all about the inside of the head of a phony, pretentious, yet pathetically naive playwright as he stumbles into a writer’s block on his first job in Hollywood. The Hotel Earle seems to act as the unsettling theatre of the mind, where the character’s paranoia and delusions come to life. Nothing seems to make sense as you watch, but then you find yourself having spent a few hours thinking back at all symbolisms and possible interpretations.
