This was a very interesting film, because the dialogue was so entertaining and unique, which is a motif that I have seen in almost every Coen brothers movie. It was basically a satire directed at the movie industry, because it was just so obnoxious and funny that the contempt for the movie industry was obvious. Tim Robbins was excellent in his role as the “pawn” with “no experience,” because his over acting and excitement throughout the film makes his role as the supposed idiot more believable.
When comparing this movie to some of the other Coen brother films, I did not see any concessions made by them, it seemed actually a little bit more absurd than most of their other films. “The Big Lebowski” and “Fargo” where pretty quirky themselves, their storyline was a little more straight forward and believable. “The Hudsucker Proxy” seemed like a tongue-in-cheek joke right from the beginning. Things such as the newspaper ad that listed “long hours and low pay” along with when the old man jumped out of the window to his doom, and one of the board members remarked that “he at least could have opened a window” made you immediately recognize that this movie was not to be taken seriously.
