Style is the answer to everything. A fresh way to approach a dull or dangerous thing To do a dull thing with style is preferable to doing a dangerous thing without it To do a dangerous thing with style is what I call art Bullfighting can be an art Boxing can be an art Loving can be an art Opening a can of sardines can be an art Not many have style Not many can keep style I have seen dogs with more style than men, although not many dogs have style. Cats have it with abundance.
When Hemingway put his brains to the wall with a shotgun, that was style. Or sometimes people give you style Joan of Arc had style John the Baptist Jesus Socrates Caesar García Lorca. I have met men in jail with style. I have met more men in jail with style than men out of jail. Style is the difference, a way of doing, a way of being done. Six herons standing quietly in a pool of water, or you, naked, walking out of the bathroom without seeing me.
In the first 11 seconds of this clip, I knew why Buk hated this movie and why I did too. Ben doesn't do the tilt with the liquor that is a signature of Bukowski and also a part of who he is.. This man is acting like if Buk was an alcoholic, not a habitual drinker. Even just in how quickly he read it, compared to how Buk would, is a disgrace. Buk would drink his words like he drank his wine. This is garbage.
charles did,nt like the movie he said himself the only reason bukowskis poetry was magic was the way charles himself spoke it....mickey rourke done a marvelous job of potraying as a bum in th STYLE of hank charles bukowski
Okay. Got some anger issues there, pal? Somebody trying to track down this movie might have an easier time if they knew the actual year it was released. Trying to help people out and you're being a dipshit.
This is a 81' movie I guess..

Bukowski didn't hate this movie. He did hate Barfly though. Get your facts straight you twits.

Great film....caught it on VHS back in '89. But I thought this film was done in 1980, not 1970.
