Barton Fink (1991)

Directed by Joel Coen

There was a scene where Barton sits by the sea when a pelican dives into the frame and drops into the water in front of him. It was very nice. It would be very different with or without it. I read an interview about "Bartn Fink." In the interview, Joel Coen talks about birds.

"We have an uncanny ability to make birds do what we want them to do. In Blood Simple there's a shot from the bumper of a car and it's going up this road and a huge flock of birds takes off at the perfect moment and crosses (the car's trajectory). And then a second later, their shadows sweep across the road."

A happy accident makes a film something more than we intended. And, we say, "yeah, it was intentional." Hahaha. Thanks.
