It is one of my favorite movies. The symbolism, the aesthetic look of the film, the madcap, rhythmic style of dialog between characters, the single long shots every time Norville enters Sid’s office, or the repetitive jump cuts during the Hula Hoop pricing scene, etc...I can rewatch this movie a hundred times and not get tired of it!
I think the only Coen Brothers movie that has a nice moral resolution, is the Hudsucker Proxy...and even there, it feels like they’re poking fun of happy endings.
What I just noticed is that Burke looks and acts like David Miscavige. So maybe Confederated Products is also a front for Scientology!🤣
Actually, he did say, “I’m gonna butter your necktie”. He was quoting from the 1950s movie Harvey, where the bartender was breaking up a fight. It was a common 50s phrase that meant to slap someone around. Basically you’d grab the tie with one hand and slap his face with the other.
