Barfly 1987 123movies

Watch: Barfly 1987 123movies, Full Movie Online – Henry Chinaski never cared for the American dream, the thought of needing to become ‘something’ and fit into the system disgusts him. He believes that life is free and yours to live like you see fit, and if that in some cases involves copious amounts of whiskey then so be it. Henry spends his days drinking and listening to the radio, and he spends his nights drinking and fighting against Eddy who he thinks personifies shallowness and shameless self promoting. Sometimes in the middle of this he finds the time to jot down a few lines of poetry or a short story. After fighting Eddy and winning for a change Henry is thrown out of his regular bar where Eddy is a bartender. This leads him to seek another watering hole where he happens to find Wanda who is a barfly, in her own words “if another man came along with a fifth of whiskey, I’d go with him”. Henry is not fazed by this thou and moves in with her. Of course Wanda immediately goes off and sleeps with Eddy, but after some clothes throwing and two visits from the paramedics Henry and Wanda manage to patch up their relationship. Then Henry gets a visit from a literary agent who has decided to publish one of his stories that he sent in because he “liked the name of the mag”. He follows the agent home to her place in order to receive his payment and with the help of a little whiskey sleeps with her. When he leaves to go back to the bar and back to Wanda the agent is heartbroken, she sees something special in Henry and has fallen in love with him. She follows him to his usual bar and gets into a cat fight with Wanda that Wanda wins. In celebration of new found love, happiness and money Henry buys a round for everyone at the bar and toasts them “to my friends!”.
Plot: Downtrodden writer Henry and distressed goddess Wanda aren’t exactly husband and wife: they’re wedded to their bar stools. But, they like each other’s company—and Barfly captures their giddy, gin-soaked attempts to make a go of life on the skids.

Not your typical Golan-Globus production
Barfly is a rarity in American cinema: a character study that doesn’t worry about telling a story with a beginning, middle, and explosive end. Mickey Rourke is excellent as Henry Chinaski, a writer and habitue of skid row who isn’t so much slumming as soaking in it. The real surprise here is Faye Dunaway as his love interest: it’s easily her best performance since Chinatown and proves she still has it. Also of note is Frank Stallone as Eddie, the barman who keeps getting into one sided fist fights with Henry. A triumph and one of the best American films of the eighties.

Got drunk just watching it.
Mickey Rourke is known as an underrated actor already. THIS is his best performance.

Skid row loser writes brilliantly. Publishing house wants to push him. Writer would rather be a pathetic drunk. Plot for you.

That was Bukowski’s real life. Here we saw how he chose to live. The low rank bars in California really gave it a flavor. For once we don’t see upper crust types ordering martinis in a swank club. We see bums pile pocket change hoping it’s enough for a shot.

Rourke & Dunaway did wonderfully in the roles. It’s not a duo you imagine right off, but here’s to them.

Alice Kirge was the sole ‘looks’ of the film, while Sly’s little bro was the tough guy.

Good work lads. Let’s drink to it.
