Barton Fink

Barton Fink elicits a complex emotional response, dominated by **Anxiety** and a pervasive sense of the **Disturbing** as the protagonist descends into writer's block within a surreal, decaying Hollywood hotel. The film's 'Comedy' genre manifests as dark, absurd **Humor** rather than traditional mirth, often leading to **Confusion** due to its dreamlike logic and ambiguous ending. **Fear** and **Anticipation** build as the thriller elements unfold, punctuated by **Surprise** twists. Underlying the bizarre events are feelings of **Sadness** and **Melancholy** for Barton's artistic and personal struggles, alongside **Empathy** for his isolated plight and **Curiosity** about the unfolding mysteries.
