That seemed to be a theme along with the old woman waiting outside the flat he cleans and says "You're very welcome young lady". Anyway cracking film, saw it at the cinema last night - Not sure if I liked it as much as some of Kaufman's other works (I'm yet to find a film that touches my heart as much as Eternal Sunshine) but it was a stunning watch. Can't wait to rewatch it again when it's released on Bluray or Dvd Thanks Haha Confused Sad Facepalm Burger Farnsworth Big Brain Like × Quote Hide all signatures I haven't eaten a Wagon Wheel since 07/11/07... ilovecubus.co.uk - 25ml of mp3 taken twice daily.

awepittance Posted May 25, 2009 Report Share Posted May 25, 2009 this movie reminded me a lot of Sirens of titan the book in a weird overarching way some of Cat's Cradle too anybody else feel the similarity? Reveal hidden contents the ending in particular reminded me of Sirens of titan where the protagonist dies peacefully and is instructed by someone else to do it Thanks Haha Confused Sad Facepalm Burger Farnsworth Big Brain Like × Quote Hide awepittance's signature Hide all signatures Link to comment https://forum.watmm.com/topic/38018-synecdoche-new-york/page/8/#findComment-1049411 Share on other sites More sharing options...
marf Posted July 9, 2009 Report Share Posted July 9, 2009 (edited) I think Im the only person that doesn't really find this depressing. Happiness, another PSH film, thats depressing. I notice that it would be hard to soak in everything in this film if you were watching in a theater or straight through with no pause. Like when he passes the note to his wife "You think you might be gay" you would have to pause this scene to read that note. Other subtle things like reading headlines in magazines he's reading. Also, lots of mumbling in the film so you have to rewind a bit to catch phrases. All in all I love this film. So surreal and funny. Depressing a little but not to the extent Ive heard from others. My sister had to turn it off. The acting is amazing. I especially love the scene where Tom Noonan is at the casting call.

Guest Mr_Self_Destruct Posted July 11, 2009 Report Share Posted July 11, 2009 I had to think a lot about this movie and it made me react... angrily.. If a movie makes me react strongly in any form then it's a good movie. I think this movie depressed me so much because I worry my life is going to end up like the PSH character's life. Anyway, I came away from this movie just feeling horrible. Emily Watson's tits... a saving grace.

lumpenprol Posted July 11, 2009 Report Share Posted July 11, 2009 hey mr. self destruct, what's up? I still haven't seen this film, after reading everything here I'm still scared of it Thanks Haha Confused Sad Facepalm Burger Farnsworth Big Brain Like × Quote Hide lumpenprol's signature Hide all signatures After this I listened to geogaddi and I didn't like it, I was quite vomitting at some tracks, I realized they were too crazy for my ears, they took too much acid to play music I stupidly thought (cliché of psyché music) But I knew this album was a kind of big forest where I just wasn't able to go inside. - lost cloud I was in US tjis summer, and eat in KFC. FUCK That's the worst thing i've ever eaten. The flesh simply doesn't cleave to the bones. Battery ferming. And then, foie gras is banned from NY state, because it's considered as ill-treat. IT'S NOT. KFC is tourist ill-treat. YOU POISONERS! Two hours after being to KFC, i stopped in a amsih little town barf all that KFC shit out. Nice work! So i hope this woman is not like kfc chicken, otherwise she'll be pulled to pieces. -organized confused project Link to comment https://forum.watmm.com/topic/38018-synecdoche-new-york/page/8/#findComment-1083423 Share on other sites More sharing options...

Reveal hidden contents if the bit where he starts playing ellen and hearing stage direction wasnt so very close to the end I would have switched it off. it had some great moments but overall wasn't a very enjoyable experience. i'm going to stew with it for a while and see how it sits.
