    I hate to be Coen Bros. explainer guy but Barton Fink is not an attack on politically engaged art. Fink is based on Clifford Odets, who named names under McCarthyism (i.e. "a fink"). It's a movie about selling out. Wallace Beery wrestling pictures are not political art.https://twitter.com/ericlinuskaplan/status/1319127424064319488 …

    why did the Coen Bros. go after the notion of politically engaged art in Barton Fink in 1991?

        Okay, I confess. I love being Coen Bros. explainer guy.

        Don’t you find that even explaining anything about Barton Fink kind of destroys part of its magic?

        Not a very flattering portrait of William Faulkner, either.

        I’d disagree—he’s a ‘true artist’ so his attempt to sell out has thoroughly wrecked him.

        That and all politically engaged art must begin by attacking bad politically engaged art to signal that it's not doing the bad thing that everyone assumes it's doing.

        And about hypocrisy: Barton talks about making art shining a light on the plight of the common man, but refuses to listen to Common Man Charlie.

        I disgree, it's about the unknowability of art's impact.
