His life is and forever will be a cycle of failure and disappointment. However he refuses to give up and for that he will always have that moment in the spotlight even if it is followed by someone who will accomished what he had tried too.

It's a palindrome and a vicious cycle. Underrated masterpiece.

John Goodman represents the kind of man Lewyn was going to become in his old age: a bitter former musician of a long forgotten genre who spergs about new music and seeks instant happiness in drugs because he has no one left.

I couldn't get into this movie. Never even finished it. I like all of their other projects, but this just didn't click with me.

Don't quit your day job.
At least, that's what I took away from it.
>>70843405
because it's a movie contemplating the Jewish faith from those observations
it's existentialism

He said he was with a group of poets/actors that did some kind of artsy edgy postmodern act and had to close or something. So he used to be an artist who did what he liked too and had to quit to find another way of earning money. Just like what Llewyn ends up doing.

That's a horrible message to take desu
It's a film about one of the worst kinds of people. He is enabled by nearly everyone in his life to be an asshole. The film culminates with one instance of him "getting what's coming to him," but really it's not enough to make up for a lifetime of people saying "oh, that's just the way he is." There is no personal growth. He is a cancer.
Loved that film, myself.
You know those movies with ideals that western society is obsessed to sell you? "Oh, of course, if you try hard enough all your dreams will come true". The protagonist is a nobody, but has dreams and fight strongly to achieve them, falling and getting up again until finally... he makes it. He rides into the sun triumphant.
That may happen in real life, but when it happens it's only to, like, 2 percent of people who tries.
Well, this movie is about the 98% that tries and fail, always fail, remains a failure. People who may have some talent, but the conditions are just not right. They come and go off the stage, just before a Bob Dylan comes. And they fade.

I wanted to hug him and tell him everything will be allright. I didn't get the asshole vibe at all.
I'd say that everyone else was an asshole; poor Llewyn tried to fit in a world not meant for him.
This movie is so bad. Coens haven't had a watchable movie in years.
