Bukowski on films

Escenas de la película Factotum (2005) y de Barfly (1987). La primera basada en la obra literaria homónima, la otra una cinta escrita por Bukowski, una aventura fílmica de su alter ego Henry Chinaski, magistralmente interpretado por Mickey Rourke.

rourke as a little of the cinic humor that bukowski had... more than dillon... sorry for my english, i'm argentinian and i'm drunk

I totally agree Rourke should play Bukowski again in Hollywood.

Rourke can't act boys....Dilon 1000 times better but someone like Benicio del Torro would be realllly good...

This is much better than Barfly.

Barfly was a fantastic movie though.

Rourke over-exaggertaed everything, Dillion underplays everything. Somewhere in the middle is where it is right. But I'll still take this over Barfly. It's funny as hell and gives a lot more dimension to Chinaski than Rourke's performance.

Dillon takes a swig with his left hand, and the cut shows the bottle being put down with his right. Visual metaphor for how bad this film was. Go read a book instead.

Barfly is THE Bukowski-Movie. Rourke was the right guy to play Buk. I've seen this amazing film a 100 times and don't stop. It's a cult classic... Bukowski said that he saw himself in Rourke playing Hank...

I was skeptical, but Matt did a good job at this.

Matt Dillon did a great job. I love this movie. Less conventional than Barfly, but that's why I like it better. Rourke was a movie hero, like Bogart. Matt Dillon was more like the real Hank.

what a crap performance...he couldnt even read the script right...and the voice? mickey rourke beats dillon anytime.

Matt Dillon really looks like Buk in this film: the hair, the skin, the potbelly, the walk. His acting was pretty darn good, too. The movie itself was just lacking somehow.
