can anyone please tell me what Johnny Five said? I've seen the film twice now and still can't figure it out.
shareAs far as I can tell he said (1) that he was in a play ("The Brig") until it was shut down by the police, and (2) that he was out of smokes even though he wasn't. Then he read a poem at a roadside restaurant.
shareJohnny Five is alive!!!!
shareHAHA!!! That's the first thing I thought of as well.
Pulled me right out of the movie. And I thanked god for being pulled out this piece of sh!t.
I want the doctor to take your picture so I can look at you from inside as well.
obvs this movie is not a piece of shiiiz if you watched it and then cared enough for it that you were confused by LACKLUSTER FEELINGS TOWARD IT SINCE YOU ARE USUALLYA COEN FAN AND WANTED TO SKIM THE BOARD TO SEE IF THERE IS A DEEPER MEANING TO IT THAT YOU ARE MISSING >>>> IT MEANS SOMETHING IF YOU ARE HERE TRYING TO FIGURE IT OUT
NOT ALL MOVIES ARE MADE TO YOUR PERSONAL FAVORITE MASTERPIECE IN ORDER TO MAKE YOU THINK
Don't feel bad, I absolutely couldn't figure out what he said, so I went back and turned on the sub-titles in English. I believe he was reciting dialogue from the play, The Brig. I read the words, but can't remember verbatim what he said.
shareMore more more cried the bed
Talk to me more...
Oh bed that taketh the weight of the world
All lost dreams laid on you
Oh bed that grows no hair
That cannot be &%$#ed
Or can be &%$#ed
Oh bread crumbs of all ages spilled on you
Oh bed
Llewyn has no bed
You got a couch?

Requiem in D Minor, Lacrimosa Dies --
Mozart's Mass for the Dead
Incidental (?) background music for ILD
heard in Gorfein's apt
Llew strums along?
Sometimes methinks the film is a
Requiem for Llewyn
Starting with him "longing" for death:
Hang me
and ending with his farewell song
and final words
"au revoir"
Part of Mozart's Requiem Mass
(as all Latin masses used to have}
whether for the dead or living
was the "AGNUS DEI"
here are the translated words:
"Lamb of God, who takes away
the sins of the world,
grant them eternal rest.
Lamb of God, who takes away
the sins of the world,
Grant them eternal rest.
Lamb of God, who takes away
the sins of the world,
grant them eternal rest forever."
Johnny Five recites:
"Oh bed that taketh the weight of the world
.....
Oh bread crumbs of all ages spilled on you"
sounds like a "perversion"
"parody"
"take-off"
of the mass words
of Agnus Dei
Incidentally, this
is said shortly before
the Communion
or
The Breaking of the Bread
...making crumbs
in the Requiem Mass
and Johnny Five & Co are in the Oasis Restaurant
and shortly Llew crashes the Table for 'Table'oulle
at those Gorfeins
at the Gorfeins

You're a freak Xerox
Nice work....
Llewyn is crumby
I kept this thing!
He's a Beat poet and he's reciting a beat poem he's written. Only problem is, the Beat Generation, realistically, had ended in the early fifties. It had a resurgence in interest in 1957 with the release of On The Road, which had been written several years before, but it evolved into something else. By 1961, Johnny Five is just a wannabe.
Interesting that Garrett Hedlund also played Dean Moriarty/Neal Cassady, the central figure of the most celebrated thing to come out of the Beat movement, in the On The Road film adaption.
