One of my all time favorite movies. The fact that almost no one saw or knows about ( and those who did see, didn't get it) it, only speaks to it's beautifully esoteric nature. This film is so gorgeous in it's raw and unwavering nature. To this day, I often find myself quoting lines from it.

"[...]Part of my luck was the actor who played Henry Chinaski. Mickey Rourke stayed with the dialogue to the word and the sound intended. What surprised me was that he added another dimension to the character, in spirit. Mickey appeared to really love his role, and yet without exaggeration he added his own flavor, his zest, his madness, his gamble to Henry Chinaski without destroying the intent or the meaning of the character. To add spirit to spirit can be dangerous but not in the hands of a damned good actor. Without distorting, he added, and I was very pleased with the love and understanding he lent to the role of the BARFLY". - Charles bukowski

He does, absolutely. The thing is that it was supposed to be Bukowski- esque, since Henry Chinasky was based on him. Bukowski himself was quite disappointed in Rourke's portrayal of what was supposed to be him. regardless of that, however, this movie ia a huge fan favorite. Cheers!

Despite the lack of shootings, stabbings, dismemberments, bombings & outbreaks of vicious mayhem this was indeed an outstanding & fantastically enjoyable movie, nonetheless. Mickey Rourke was never finer nor more superlative, as he became the character whom he was depicting so flawlessly (he was King back in the 80s!). The Perfect Ode to Bukowski & his famously degenerate lifestyle back during the 70s-early 80s. Immortal!

My biggest problem was that the Mickey Rourke character had these two exquisite women fighting over him whereas the real-life Bukowski admitted that he could only get the old, ugly ones until he became famous (then he couldn't beat the groupies off with a stick). Furthermore, Bukowski had to toil as a postal clerk for years until he hit it big, whereas Mickey Rourke's character is that mythical Hollywood beast: The Being With No Obvious Means of Support.

Mickey Rourke would not the game with the establishment.That Ultimatly cut short what could have been a great great acting career.Rourke is brilliant in all his films it's just a shame theirs not enough of them.
@Valkonnen6 жыл бұрын
No, sometimes it's a case of a person who makes terrible decisions with their career and it's as simple as that. Saying that he "Wouldn't game with the establishment" is the dumbest thing that a person could say. It's that underachiever mentality that some people have where anyone who has something outside of your experience is obviously in league with some big conspiracy. All gains and success that anyone has must be ill gotten. People like you have kids who think the same stupid way. It's very limiting to a person to believe shit that simple does not exist...It's that way to you because you've never been in the film industry and it's way beyond your experience. I on the other hand have worked in film professionally for over 30 years , so I know that your "Establishment" theory about why Rourke failed is complete bullshit..He was becoming undependable and made terrible decisions ...That's it.....

I used to be Eddie, metaphorically, I was the epidemy of " unoriginal Macho energy " in the 80's, I was a Chippendales dancer at there new location in Ft. Lauderdale & not only did women throw themselves at me, they stuffed their old rich husband's money in my g-string. I was also a boxer, but my only claim to fame was sparring with Mike Tyson. When my brother told me about this amazing movie & that Mickey Rourke played the role of a lifetime I scoffed at the idea of watching it. Mind you I owned a video store at the time it was released to my store (1989), and just seeing the box cover with Mickey & Faye & the title " Barfly " turned me off. The classic don't judge the book by the cover...

Classic. I have no idea why people are slamming at you personally for uploading this film. Even if you don't dig the movie, it was written by Bukowski himself and serves as an adjunct to his other works. Works which have him ranked among the greatest writers in American history. Bukowski is the greatest poet of the age. Seeing the film, which Bukowski himself thought didn't quite represent him the way he intended, is still instructive and worthwhile and offers insight into his poet's mind.

One of The Greatest scenes in movie history! And with Mickey Rourke & Frank Stallone (who was also fantastic!) both at the top of their respective games how could it not be amongst the top 15 best, most riveting & funniest movie scenes to come out of the 1980s? Mickey Rourke was born to play this role, it's like he was magically preordained for this part, fulfilling this long held prophesy that he would be The Chosen One, all while more than living up to already high expectations as he slid quite smoothly & seamlessly into the proverbial shoes of Bukowski's larger than life literary creation, that barroom bozo misfit driven to drink & casually disgorge hilarious yet profoundly deep philosophical musings. Mickey Rourke nailed this role perfectly, in a comically gritty though realistic & mesmerizing fashion. He should have won an Oscar for this movie (then barflies the World over could have rejoiced in harmony, vindication & solidarity!). Yo Mickey, next brew I guzzle is going to be in your honor you stupendous Irish lad!
