The “I don’t see much money here” moment is rough, but the end of that conversation always got to me even more (and when I watched the movie again after a dear friend of mine had committed suicide I found it devastating):
Grossman: You comfortable with harmonies?
Llewyn: No. Yes, but no. No, I had a partner.
Grossman: Uh huh. That makes sense. My suggestion: get back together.
Llewyn: That’s good advice.
I really loved your comparison of the Llewyn Davis & Barton Fink scenes, and now I really want to read something longer of your thoughts on Barton Fink!
ILD is great in now it underplays that it is mostly a story about someone mourning the loss of their best friend. We don't know what Llewyn was like beforehand, and how much Mikey's death has changed him.
I completely forgot about the "creator" line and how it warranted a solid punch. When I hear people proudly proclaim it now, I am not sure that has changed.
