Daily Dialogue —February 28, 2019

“Yeah, I worked in a barbershop, but I never considered myself a barber. I stumbled into it. Or married into it, more precisely.”

— The Man Who Wasn’t There (2001), written by Joel Coen, Ethan Coen

The Daily Dialogue theme for the week: Barber Shop.

Trivia: Joel Coen and Ethan Coen came up with the story while working on The Hudsucker Proxy (1994). While filming the scene in the barbershop, the Coens saw a prop poster of 1940s haircuts and began developing a story about the barber who cut the hair in the poster.

Dialogue On Dialogue: The Protagonist (Ed Crane) is a barber… who doesn’t want to be a barber. And that is where the twisted plot begins.
