re: coen brothers
I relate to the feeling of watching a movie, or any piece of art really, and just getting this pit in your stomach. One thing I've learned is that sometimes that feeling is entirely my fault, because a piece of art has made me uncomfortable in a way that's like, reflective of some personal flaw of mine. But sometimes a piece of art is just genuinely bad-natured and cynical. It's helpful to know the difference, but its difficult sometimes when it comes to the coens. I think they have a very real misanthropic streak, that comes to the forefront in some of their movies
